Aimed at Gambling Before
New York Legislature.
General Crusade Against Bet-
ting and Stock JobbIng.
Hearing on All Bills Will Be Held
During This Week.

Albany, y. Y, Feb. IA veritable
"EpIdemic' Of bills aimed against al
forms of gambling has become a fed-
ture Of the present session Of the Leg
islature. This is evidently due, partlg
to the stand taken by Governor Hughes
in his annual message against gamb-
ling at race tracks. and partly TO the
feeling aroused by the recent financial
disturbances against what is generally
regarded as gambling in stocks. grain
and other forms of produce. Almost
every session sees the Introduction vi
bills to abolish bucket shops and tn"
like. nut 1t is many years since stch
g. variety Of legislation on this gener-
al subject has been proposed.
Twenty-one bills on the subject OF
gambling have already been introduce
ed and almost every day adds to the
number More than half those already
at hand deal with one or more aspects
of the race track situation. while the
largest part OF the remainder are di-
rected against the buying and selling
Of stocks and produce on margins. One
bill would prohibit gambling at card
games In clubs. hotels and private
houses.
No legisla tive action has Yet eb"n
taken on any Of these bills, but hear
ings before q Joint eesSiOn OF the codes
committees OF both houses are schedule
ed for this Week.
While the number Of bills seeking to
stop the buying and selling If shares
on margins is not SO large rs those
against race track gambling, they Gov
er a wider field. Some Of the measures
propose an anti-bucket shop statute,
while others amend some existing law.
Whether stock brokerage can bc inter-
fered with by legislation in view of
credit character of the business is Il
question raised and sought to be met
by dill which will require speciflca-
ton OF the actual serial numbers of
the shares transferred.

q slight revision, Il examination as

on a iirmer basis. After speaking sew
eral moments on the purpose and value
of the Monroe Doctrine he discussed
the situation in the financial and in
dustrul world-that which has come
to the public within the last few
years.
'"There is q growing danger" he said,
''of the powerful and wealthy corpor-
atoms uniting to escape the operation
of the laws passed to keep them in

mini3tration sought to carry out was
that there was no one above the law

Mr.. Taft concluded with a few re-
marks on the Democratic party trou-
ble9. saying that they were not unit
ed on q single thing

"and You have q crazy quilt that in

The division in this party, he said,
