of reform have reason 10 reioics that
the president has used his high po-
sItion to call attention 10 the wrongs
that need to BE remedied. He has
discovered the running sore in our
national life. He has pointed out
the corruptine influences of preda-
tory wealth and from the monopo-
istic enterprises which have given
unearned riches to the few, who, by
controlling the great industries Il
the nation, have levied tribute upon
the whole country.
There ought to be enough Roose-
welt republicans in the two houses
to Join with the democrats and in
sure some remedial Legislation at
tins session. If there be none the
public ought to know it, so that
when the next republican national
convention endorses the present al-
ministration the hypocricy of the
party will be understood.
The president has issued call
TO arms. Now let the battle begin,
and We shall soon be able to pick

this and perhaps other matters, is q subject of speculation tonight Not d word can be obtained from the eXecu- tive chamber upon this aspect of the question.
 A kindred matter which may become of some importance, relates to the va cancy caused by the death of Fran chet. It is known that the governor is carefully considering the matter of calling a special election to fill the vacancy and serious constitutional problems are concerned. Franchet was elected under the old apportionment, which the court of appeals has since declared unconstitutional. The new apportionment passed at the extra session last year. and rearranged the senate districts but left that particular district as it was before.
 Whether Franchet's place can be fill ed by a special election under a diff ferent apportiOnment. is a question which constitutional lawyers are de- batting tonight. The question involves the possibility of new senator fur nishing a new vote against the race track bills by the time they are con- sidered again

INSIDE INFORMATION
 OF BENSON AND HYDE
The New Trial of the Land Conspiracy
 Case is Under Way.

Washington. April S.-The ground work in the case of Frederick A. Hyde. John A. Benson. Henry D. Dimond and Joost Fl. Schneider. charged with conspiracy to dcfraud the United States of public lands, was laid today in criminal court. The testimony was technical in the extreme and counsel for the defense made numerous ob- jections.
 Documents and orders from the gen eral land office were identified by John H. Fimple, formerly assistant commissioner of the office and John McPhaul. q law clerk, chief of divis- ion. F'implC is now q resident of Ohio. and has been temporarily employed as special agent of the interior depart ment in the case.
 Fimple stated that news of the con est reserves were secrets. information concerning them leaked out. He nam ed Wm. x. Yak. a clerk. and Wood ford Halon. division chief. who he said had been found receiving money from outside sources in payment for information.
 McPhaul testified that when he took charge of division R after Walk had been deposed. he found many lieu land selection cases expedited out of their regular order in the names of F. A. Hyde & Co, and c. w. Clark.

RACE TRACK GAMBLERS
 ALL BUT SUCCEEDED
By the Ndrrowest Margin the AntiGamb-
 Iinq Bills Were Saved From Defeat
It is Yet by No Means Certain That They Will Survive the Legislative Session at Albany and Be- come Laws.

Albany. April S.-The vote of Sen ator Owen Cassidy of Schuyler county. republican. late today caused d tie vote of D to 9, and defeated for a time at least the two Agnew- Hart bills em- bOdying the recommendation of Gov ernor Hughes that legal protection be abolished which since 1895 has pro- tected public gambling at race tracks. whereas it is a felony elsewhere in the state. Lieutenant Governor Chandler of the senate, by casting a vote to break the tie upon d parliamentary motion, which but for him would have resulted in the killing of the bills for the rest of the session. saved them for another vote at the discretion of the introducer
 Senator Agnew at anytime when the order of business permits him may call up the matter. The importance of this bit of subsidiary procedure my prove to be very great. If by any means the friends of the bills can gain a vote from the opposition and at the same time hold the twenty-five they had to- day they may pass the bills and send them to the governor.
 Governor Hughes made no secret of his disappointment over the result of the days struggle. He would not in innate what measures he would adopt in the premises but that he regards the matter as far from settled he made clear by the following statement issued from the executive chamber tonight: Tt is impossible to believe that the people will permit the plain mandate of the constitution to be ignored. The contest has not ended; it has only be- gun. IL will continue until the will of the people has been obeyed.'
 The vote came at the end of a day so dramtic and intense that people who had been about the capitol gen eration remembered nothing like it. Until the vote of Senator Wilcox. the last of the list, was cast against the bills. the result was in doubt, although for three days the opposition had ex- pressed confidence that he would vote as he actually did.
 The most remarkable feature of the day involved the mysterious absence 'of Fancher of Cattaraugus. He was known to intend to support the bills and his vote was indispensable to their passage. Messengers searched for him {,
 
 charge was freely made by supporters 1 of the bills that his absence was in- | voluntary and would prove to be the !. result of conspiracy. When a recess | was taken at o'clock he was still | 
 He appeared at last when the recess l was about half gone with nothing to , say for publication but a story about | his absence told privately was ac- | cepted by the supporters of the bills j. as confirming their suspicious. The | details cOnvulsed everybody who heard . it. The gist of it was that he out witted those who would have detained . him. and as he put it. Here I am in . time to vote for the bills as I have all | along intended 10 do."
 Cassidy whom the supporters of the bills hold responsible for the defeat.
Arizona republican., 1908-04-09

voted on two previous occasions in their favor although the friends of the measure admit that he never promised to support them on final passage.
 Until 10 o'clock, Grattan of Albany. was declared to be in favor of the bills.
 At that time. after conferring with the leaders of the Albany county re- publican organization he went to Ag- new and announced that he would vote against them.
 Knapp, of Clinton. until late in the morning. was regarded BIS practically certain to vote for the bills, but about the same time he also announced that he would vote against them There was some doubt all day as to the vote of Poker of Kings. but when the time came he adhered to the position he had all along taken. in the bills favor.
 All the fifty members of the senate were present. the only vacant seat be- ing that of Franchet. of Niagara Falls who died recently He would have supported the bills Twenty three re- publicans and two democrats voted for the bills, seventeen democrats and eight republicans voting against them. After the defeat of the bills. Agnew made the usual motion that the vote by which the bills were lost be recon sidered and that the motion lie upon the table. Then, apparently realizing the defeat of the motion by the same vote by which it had defeated the bills. and would kill the measures be- yOnd rescue. Agnew withdrew it. In- stantly Grady. who is a past master in parliamentary strategy seized the apparent advantage and renewed the motion.
 Raines came quickly to the rescue, of the bills with a motion to table that Of Grady. Attention was then called by Anderson to the fact that in these the presiding officer would have the deciding vote. Grady urgently appealed to the, lieutenant governor and his colleagues, to support the motion, but the iieutenant- govern or said that the point at issue was not the motion of the minority leader; the real question was the right of Agnew to control the question of reconsider ing the vote on his own bill. In sup port of the precedent of senatorial courtesy. He gave Agnew his vote. This action saved the bills from utter destruction and made possible another contest.
 Under the rules of the senate the presiding officer has the deciding vote in case of a tie upon all purely par questions. He has no vote upon the direct question of the pas sage of the bills. For this reason he could not have broken the tie by which the bills were defeated.
 There is the incidental question technical but important. whether in case of one of the bills. the procedure has not left Agnew with only three days in which to move for a reconsid- aration.
 Whether Hughes will call an extra session to begin perhaps immediately upon the adjournment of the regular session, to begin the consideration of

REAR ADMIRAL EVANS
 Is A WRY SICK MAN
It is Believed at Paso Robles That He IS Fighting the Hardest Battle of His Life.

Paso Robles Hot Springs. April S.- Rear Admiral Evans spent a quiet day. He appeared rather feeble this morn ing and seemed somewhat depressed. complained of being weary. Later in the day however. he recovered his spirits and apparently felt very much better.
 Surgeon p. F. Mcdonald stated to- night that the admiral had had a very good day.
 In the absence of his son. Lieutenant Evans. who left for Los Angeles this morning to accompany his mother and sister to the springs. Admiral Evans was wheeled about by Lieutenant Train. his flag lieutenant. and spent an hour in the sOlarium in the after noon where he talked for sometime with W. D. Woolwine a Los Angeles banker
 Despite the assertions of Mcdonald that Evans is gaining strength rapidly the impression is gaining ground around the hotel that he is fighting the hardest battle of his life" While relieved from all acute pain as a re- suit of his treatment at the springs it IS apparent that he is still in a very weak condition. and that his recovery will be a matter of many weeks.
 On the second day of his arrival he was out on the lawn watching q game of croquet: the third day he was taken for two hours drive. Since then he has not Jeff his wheel chair It is also said that his baths have been reduced because of hisl weak condition Me Donald however refused to confirm this report.
 That il is utterly out of the question for Evans to join the celebration festi- vities at southern California ports. however. Is admitted by his surgeon. He believes that the admiral is begih- ming to realize this Asked if Evans was suffering from any organic dis ease which was tending to make his recovery slow. Mcdonald was non committal and declared that he thought the admiral had done very well since his arrival
