WASHINGTON, April 8.-StrinEent
legislation looking 10 the suppression
OF anarchy. particularly anarchistic
literature was the subject of a mes
sage sent TO Congress today by Pres
ident Roosevelt The message reads:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives;
! herewith submit a letter from the
Department of Justice which explains
itself Under this opinion / hold that
existing statutes give the President the
power TO prohibit the Postmaster GEN
eral from being used as an instrument
In the commission Of crime. That is
TO prohibit the use of the mails for
the advocacy of murder, arson and
treason and / shall act upon such con-
struction. Unquestionably, however,
there should be further legislation by
congres In this matter When COM
pared with the suppression of anarchy
every other question sinks into insight
tcance. The anarchist is the enemy o.
humanity the enemy of all mankind,
and his is a deeper degree of crimi-
'nality than any other. No immigrant
is allowed to come TO our shores If he
! is an anarchist; and no paper pub.
lished here or abroad should be per-
mitted circulation in this country, If
! It propagates anarchistic opinions.
(Signedl Theodore Roosevelt" d"
Attorney General Bonaparte's letter,
accompanying the message contains al
exhaustive review of the statutes with
reference TO the use Of the mails. He
finds that although there is no law ex-
preSsly prohibiting the circulation OF
anarehlstlc and seditious publications.
by means Of the postal service. the
Postmaster General is fully warranted
IN taking the action he did in the case
Of La Questione Sociale, an anarchist
paper Of Paterson, ~ j., and adds:
Il advise YOU that in my opinion you
VIII be justified in excluding from the
mails any issue Of any periodical
otherwise entitled TO the privileges of
seoond-class mail matter, which shall
contain any article constituting a Sc
ditious and counselling such crimes as
murder, arson, riot and treason"

HUGHES KEEPS UP
RACE TRACK ROW
Suggests Also That Methods
Of Wall Street be
Investigated
BY united Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
ALBANY, April s.--Governor Hughes to-
day sent special message to the Legis-
lature urging the necessity OF passing
the anti-race track gambling bills.
which were defeated yesterday. The
message reiterates the governors con-
tention that gambling at race tracks
is not carried on through evasion OF
law, but because Of the law as it now
exists.
The message further recommends
the Legislature provide for direct
nominations and for laws facilitating
the construction of new subways.
The message suggests the advisable
ity OF creating a commission to inves-
tigate the methods of Wall street.
Senator Raines moved that the portion
Of the message relating TO race tracks
should be laid on the table with the
Agnew-Hart bills, and the remaining
portions be referred to the appropriate
committees.

HAS NOT OFFERED
TO LEASE LAND
Continued from First Page.

Attorney Knows of None
John Biggs, counsel for the Pennsyl-
ania Railroad Company, Wa asked
this morning whether the company
had ever made a formal proposition to
the city to give lease on the land be-
tween Bridge street and the Christiana
river in return for the Street and Sewer
Commissioners giving the Delaware
Water Company permission to lay its
pipes across certain city streets. Mr..
Biggs said that he knew of no formal
offer OF proposition Of the kind being
made by the railroad company, neither
did he know of any implied under
standing to that effect. "The initia-
tive looking toward a lease Of the land
has been taken by the city" said Mr.
Biggs But / think that IL the city
desires the land for park purposes,
some satisfactory arrangement with
the railroad company could be en-
tered into"
History Of the Affair
The history of the water company's
situation Is this: The Delaware Water
Company desired to build a line from
Buford Lake, near Christiana, to
.Todd's Cut to supply water for the
railroad company. Workmen of the
railroad company undertook to lay
water pipes along the right of way Of
the railroad company across East
Fourth street, along the Edgemoor cut
off, when the Street and Sewer Depart
ment officials caused the arrest Of the
workmen on the ground that the street
had been opened without permission.
The pipes were dug UP and
have not been laid since.
Meanwhile the water company
made formal application for permis-
sion to lay pipes. and The Water COM
missioners by resolution requested the
Street and Sewer Directors not TO grant
the water company permission. Then
the mayors cabinet discussed the mat
ter. brought up bv ono of the meni-
bers. and the idea was put forward
that the railroad company would lease
the Christiana river front lot in ro-
turn for permission being given to the
water company No formal PROPOSE
tion Of this kind was submitted. how
ever.
The matter was talked over at two
or three meetings of the executive
board. and the upshot was that tho
Board Of Education adopted a resolu-
ton requesting the Water Commis-
sioners TO withdraw their opposition to
the water company's application. The
Water Commissioners Withdrew their
objection on Monday afternoon. Yester-
day afternoon the Park Comm ssioners
talked over cie subject. could find no
formal offer OF a lease made by the
railroad company, and took no action
II is expected that the railroad com-
pany will confer with the city officials
about leasing the land, before any
definite action is taken by the Street
and Sewer Commissioners on the ap-
plication,. toward which they are said
70 look with favor provided the COM
pany gives the city a long lease on th'
land.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 9.-Because

Of life for his dependent mother and

Lindsay was in love with a girl who
lived in his birthplace, Philadelphia,
but could not hope to marry her while

her, several of which he had carried
