RACE TRACK BILLS BEATEN
Fail Of Passage. rs TO rs, After
Sensational Day in Senate.
Four Votes Changed at Last Honr-
Grattan, Cassidy and Knapp Join
With Wilcox in Opposition.

Albany, N. Y.-At the end OF day
characterized by many sensational in
cidents and resulting in dead heat
so far as numerical votes were con-
cerned, the State Senate refused to
pass two. of three bills recommended
by Governor Hughes to put an end to
gambling on race tracks
These measures were that amend
ing the code of criminal procedure by
making it a misdemeanor punishable
by Imprisonment for any person to
make a wager on a race track, and its
companion bill repeating the Percy
Gray law under which race track
gambling is now countenanced.
The Senate divided equally on the
two propositions, twenty-five Senator'S
voting to pass the bills and twenty
five against them. Under the Consti-
tuition a bill must receive twenty-six
votes in the Senate to become law.
The personnel of the vote on both
bills was the same and as follows.
For the Anti-Gambling Bills-Sen-
ators Agnew, Aids, Armstrong, Car
penter, Cobb, Cordts, Davis, Dunn,
Fancher, Foelker, Gates. Heacock,
Hill, Human, Hooker, O'Neil, Page,
Raines, Sac, Smith, Travis, Tully and
White, Republicans, and Fuller and
Taylor, Democrats-25.
Against the Anti-GamblinS Bills
Senators Ackroyd, Boyce, Cohalan,
Cullen, Frawley, Grady, Hartes, Has
enhug, Mccall, McCarren, McManus,
Mullaney, Owens, Transporter, Soh-
mer, Sullivan and Thompson, Demo-
Gratis, and Burr, Cassidy, Emerson,
Gilchrist, Grattan, Knapp, Wemple
and Wilcox, Republicans-25.
One of the Democratic Senators
who voted against the bills when
asked for an explanation said:
I'VE didn't have to kidnap any
Senators, as they said we did with
Fancher We didn't have to- There
was an easier way of getting them.
I'd like to have as much as there was
in the barrel that the race track peo-
pie cracked 1t ought to be a good
summer for us, coming as it did on
top of the hard times"
While the result is a momentary
victory for the race track interests, it
is not certain that the decision of the
Senate will stand. Both sides are
disappointed because of their failure
to secure a decisive victory. The
greater disappointment, however. is
experienced by the friends of Gov
ernor Hughes, who mad confidently
expected that at least twenty-seven
of the fifty Senators would vote to
carry out his recommendation to COM
pei obedience to the constitutional in
hibition upon gambling.
Governor Hughes made no secret
of his disappointment at the result
OF the vote on the race track bills.
He would not intimate what steps he
would take, but issued this statement
from the Executive Chamber:
1T is impossible to believe that the
people will permit the plain mandate
of the Constitution to be ignored.
The contest has not ended 1t has
only begun. 1t will continue until
the will of the people has been
o5eyed."

TRIED BY WOLVES.

From dusk to dawn, with the Their
mometer away below zero, two trap
pers chung to the branches of slim
tree while a pack of twenty raven
Gus timber wolves kept up an inces-
SAINT chorus beneath. The men were
Tom and Patrick Murphy and they
had their experience in the Silver
Mountains, near Port Arthur, On
tario.
They started off into the woods
to Tom Murphy's trapping headQuar-
tiers. but before they had gone far
they heard the baying of the wolves,
which gradually became more dis
tinct as the pack collected and got
closer to them. The Murphys thought
little of the matter until they rea-
liked that the wolves were on their
track, following them at good speed.
Two shots failed to scare off the
leaders, so the Murphys got into the
tree. but only just in time, as the
leaders snapped at their heels.
In his hurry to reach safety Tom
tore off a portion of his clothing on
broken branches, and without food
or overcoats the men kept in the
tree all through the night, which to
them seemed to last for ages.
When morning came the wolves
scattered out of sight, but the hun.
tiers managed to pick off nine OF
them, for which they collected $3.50
in bounty here to-day, being $50 for
each wolf.
or late timber wolves have become
very bold, owing to scarcity of small
animals which they feed on, and sew
eral instances have been recorded
since Christmas where they have fol-
lowed men and made efforts to attack
them.

south a few blocks. BY afternoon
they had crossed Broadway, the main
thoroughfare of the city, and reached
Marginal street, which runs along
Chelsea Creek, mile from the start
ing place of the fire.
Fire Engine Burns Up.
Early in the evening embers car
ried across Chelsea Creek ignited the
Standard Oil Companys tanks on the
East Boston side of the creek, and
several of them exploded with a roar
that could be heard ten miles out to
sea and in all parts of Boston.
No one was injured by the explo-
sions, and the tanks we're so isolated
that the fire did not spread to the
rows of wooden tenement houses
which run from this point in East
Boston to the water front on the OPP
posite side of Noodle Island, on which
East Boston is built
So great was the heat that trolley
cars had to be abandoned in the
streets and many of them were
burned.
Engine Is, of Boston, one of the
largest in this city, was destroyed
while fighting the flames that followed
the explosion of the East Boston oil
tanks.
This is the most disastrous fire that
has occurred in the metropolitan dis
trict (Greater Boston, since 1872,
when sixty acres of the business dis
trict of Boston were burned, with a
loss of S60,000,000. That conflagra-
ton started at the corner of Summer
and Kingston streets, and was not
put under control for several days.
Militia Ordered Out.
When it became apparent that the
fire would probably have to burn it
self out companies of militia, assisted
by sailors and marines from the
Charlestown Navy Yard, took charge
of the fire lines and prevented looting
by thieves, hundreds of whom had
gathered from all sections of the met
ropolitan district. The militia was
given orders to shoot persons caught
stealing.
Lieutenant-Gove Eben S. Dra-
per, who is at the head of the State
during the illness of Governor Curtis
Guild, Jr., was within the fire lines
all day directing the work of the mil
itia and aiding in the removal of the
| homeless to places of shelter.
Mayor George A. Hubbard. of Bos-
ton, at o'clock p. NJ, called meet
irg, at which it was voted to receive
subscriptions for the homeless. The
Intertrust Company, of Boston, told
Mayor Hubbard to draw on 1t for
! $1,000, and it is expected that fund
of $4,000 will be raised
The Suburban Gas and Electric
Company, of the town of Revere,
which adjoins Chelsea, housed 200
fire sufferers and provided them with
food.
Acting Governor Draper requested
that number of prominent citizens
meet him at the State House for the
purpose of forming a relief committee
to take charge of the funds and dona-
lions for Chelsea.
He has appointed Lee, Higginson &,
Co. to act as treasurer.
John F. Moors, who was sent to the
San Francisco earthquake to attend
to the distribution of Massachusetts
funds for the stricken people there,
is in charge of the relief funds for
Chelsea. At midnight he reported
that all of the homeless had been
housed for the night.
