accept bet. A score or so of angry men surrounded the pair, and the de tective and his charge were jostled se- verely. Another plain clothes man, who was unknown to Carr. rushed into the thick of the fray and caught hold of Weldon's arm, desiring to aid his brother officer. Carr. not realizing his intent. cracked the other policeman over the head with his billy. felling him. Carr was pui,hed several times. but meantime re-enforcements had been rushed to the scene, and present ly Carr and his prisoner arrived at the detention pen near the gate.
 What betting there was was not gen eral in character, but took place be- tween persons we'll known to each other. The individual unknown to the bookmakers had no chance to back his horse. After the fourth race a police man stood on either side of Sol Lich- tenstein, the king of the betting ring" Lichtenstein was not disconcerted. but calmly chewed the end of a big black cigar.

Who will be the democratic candi- date for vice-president? It is time to consider the matter, whoever is nominated for president, says one writer, who is in favor of F. B. Har- rison. But one name has so far been prominently mentioned, and not a word of objection has been raised Francis Burton Harrison is endorsed by both clements of the party and it would seem has an excellent chance of being selected. There is not much doubt that his own state will present his name and already a majority of other delegations have favorably con- sidered him. As the candidate for president will in all probability come from the west, 1t is but political necessity that his running mate shall come from the east. The vote of the great state of New York is considered a necessity if the democrats shall control the electoral college and liar rison would help to win 1t. His pop ularity extends to New Jersey, anoth- CT important and doubtful state, which makes his candidacy of still more consequence.

an example of what can be done in growing wood on small plots. That country contains 21 million woodlots about three-fourths of which belong to private persons and one-fourth to communes. The average size of the plots is less than nine-tenths of an acre. They usually occupy the steep est, toughest, poorest ground. In this way land is put to use which would otherwise go to waste, and If unwood- ed would lose it's soil by the wash of the dashing rains. From Japan's woodlots, the yearly yield of lumber is about SS feet, board measure, per acre, and three-fourths of cord Of frewood. In many cases the yield is much higher More than half bil- lion trees are planted yearly to make up what is cut for lumber and fuel. Assessment for taxation is low, aver aging for the 21 million lots less than q dollar an acre. With all the care in cutting, and the industry in replant- ing it is by no means certain that Japan's forests are holding their own. If the preservation of the forests is doubtful there, it is evident that de- pletion must be alarmingly rapid in l other countries which cut unsparingly and plant very little. On the other hand, it is encouraging to see what can be done with rough, steep and poor land. The United States has enough of that kind, without touching the rich agricultural acres, to grow | billions of feet of lumber.

In view of Senator Foraker's appeal to the negro voters to oppose Roose- welt and Taft in the campaign of 1908 and the manifest inclination of the negroes to act in accordance with FOraker's advice, the Providence Journal gives some interesting statis- ties relating to the distribution of the negro population of American cities. From this it appears that Mound City, III. has the largest per centage of negroes in its population of any other city. the percentage in 1900 being 43. In some other cities it is very large. as shown by the fol- lowing table: Cairo. III. 70 per cent: Washington. D. C.. 31; New Orleans. La. 27. Atlantic City. N. ]. g: Bal timore. Md. Is; Evansville, ind. 9.5: Indianapolis. Ind. 6.5: Columbus. O.. .6.5; St Louis. Mo. 6: Philadelphia. Pa. 5: Pittsburg. Pa. 4.5: Cincinnati. .O., 4.5: New York. V. Y. 2: Boston. Mass. 2: Chicago. III. 2: Cleveland. O. IS: Detroit. Mich. Is.

Evidently. the negroes. led by Fora ker. will be an important factor in the coming election. If half of them vote against Taft. he will be defeated at the polls in November. This fur uishes an additional reason why the democratic convention should nomI- nate a candidate who would not wreck the party If elected

 New York, June 13.-with the ele- ment of chance almost entirely ellmi- mated from racing under the provisions of the antibetting law which has be- come operative in this state, racing at the Gravesend track is interesting it's followers but little. It seems peculiarly fitting that historic old Gravesend. the race course with the melancholy name, should be the first track to feel the ef- fleets of the new law.
 "Graveyard' 1t might properly be called, as far as the interest in the work of the thoroughbreds is concern ed. The interest of the crowd that journeyed to the race track today Is centered on the efforts being made by the state and county officials, under direction of Governor Hughes, to put a stop to all betting on the horses.
 For the present at least there will he no more betting on the New York tracks. though the bedrooms. the hand book men and the so called commission houses that already are springing into existence may look forward to a rich harvest. Not only has the betting ring. as known in recent years, been put out of business. but even credit betting is made impossible.
 Any man who says to his closes friend "I bet you" is liable to arrest and a years Imprisonment if the fatal words are spoken on the track. Nei- ther the passing of money. nor of any other token. nor the recording of bet is necessary to constitute a breach of the Agnew-Hart laws. A mere oral agreement involving a wager on the result of a race will be held sufficient to bring a man within the workings of the law.
 The first days enforcement of the new laws saw betting at the track on every race despite the fact that John Cavanaugh. the master of the betting ring. announced that no speculation should he indulged in Nine persons were taken into custody by the police authorities. who in uniform and plain clothes circulated in large numbers among the crowds in the betting psvil- ion.
