Governor Bound to Stop Racing at
Aqueduct Track.
Friends Declare Executive VIII Use
Limit of Power vested
I'm Him.

New York. April 12-Gov. Hughes. ac-
cording to information received from Al
bany, is preparing fes a coup at the
opening Of the racing season in this
state. which takes place at Aqueduct on
Wednesday.
Angered at the refusal OF the legisla-
ture TO kill race-track gambling, the
governor is reported to be bent on re-
pressive measures Of the sternest kind.
These who claim to know his mind say
he will stop at nothing short of the ex-
ercise OF the utmost power vested in the
chief executive of the Commonwealth to
accomplish his purpose.
This would involve as last resort il
IS pointed out, the calling out of the
militia, a step which Gov Folk OF Mis-
souri,, was compelled to threaten TO take
before he succeeded in stopping gambling
at the race tracks in that state.

this afternoon OF an audience that filed
the playhouse from the orchestra ran 10
the topmost seat in the gallery. disturb
ing the calm Of Sunday with a frenzy Of
enthusiasm Joined in alike by clergy.
while the governor argued for support of
the racing bills, IS difficult to describe.
The foremost citizens of Oneida County
were present, and there was no mistak-
ing the fact that the audience was in
complete sympathy with the governors
attitude on the subject Of the racing bills.
Hughes Defines Position.
The governor spoke, in part, as fol-
lows:
1t is quite evident to me that the peo-
pie OF Utica have something on their
hearts, and I can assure you that YOU
are not alone in your appreciation Of the
serious Importance of the question that
is now before us. On Friday night was
guest Of the Watertown Chamber of
Commerce, and the leading citizens of
Watertown, irrespective Of party. and all
that was representative OF the life of that
important city Of the North were out

this forenoon, and twelve hours
later it had practically burned it

Two burning barges drifted
across Chelsea Creek and set fire

exceptions. all Of the public build
ings were burned. Altogether. in
cluding tenements and residences,
churches, business blocks, halls and
hotels, and manufacturing plants,
500 structures were wiped out. 1t
is estimated that 10000 people were
rendered homeless, and the esti
mated loss ranges from -SIo.ooo,ooO
TO SIs,oooooo.
Loss of Life Is Heavy.
So far as at present known six
fatalities occurred; also there are
rumors in circulation tonight that
the bodies of four people have been
found among the debris of the
burned houses. One Of the fatalities
is that Of a man who was seen run
ming across the Boston and Albany
Railroad bridge over Chelsea
Creek. The man was caught in
the flames on the Chelsea side Of
the creek, and started to cross the
burning structure into East Boston.
Before he reached safety his
clothing caught FIRE, and he just
reached land when he was over
come and fell beside the railroad
track, where his body was seen by
your correspondent at 9:3o o'clock
tonight. 1t was practically inCin-
Grated.
Deaths so far discovered number
six in all. They include the man
burned crossing the bridge into
East Boston, a man and woman
burned in Chelsea. a woman who
died on the way to the hospital, and
a man and woman who committed
suicide.
Several scores OF people were IN
jured, some of them seriously.
Negro LOOtsrs Shot.
Two negroes were shot and
wounded by militiamen while try
ing to loot a Broadway jewelry
store. Two other men are reported
10 have been shot when detected in
the act of entering one of the Chel-
sea savings banks about Q o'clock
tonight.
During the early part of the fire
several men attempted to hurry the
thing ong.by setting fire to their
stores, but Iaw-abiding citizens de-
tected them and administered Sc
we're beatings to them.
The stores were burned just the
same.
