HUGHES RACE
BILLS ARE SAFE
WILL Sc FINALLY DISPOSED or
BY THE SENATE ON NEXT
WEDNESDAY.

ALBANY, y Y. April 2.-The bills
intended to establish gambling at race
tracks in this State in accordance with
the recommendations Of Gov. Hughes
have gone over until next Wednesday.
when they will be a special order on
final passage in the Senate.
This arrangement was made by
unanimous consent after a day of in
termittent skirmishing. most Of 1t OF
a technical parliamentary character
Senator Agnew succeeded in having
the Assembly bills of Assemblyman
Hart, which have already passed the
Assembly, substituted for his own.
The practical result is that when the
bills come up on Wednesday they will,
If passed, go to the Governor for final
signature, which will make them law.
But for this substitution, the Senate
bills of Senator Agnew, which we're
advanced at the close of yesterdays
long struggle, would, IL passed, have
to be concurred in by the Assembly.
While those who have it charge the
fight against this legislation today ad-
mitted that the odds were now against
them, they intimated there is an under
of OPPOSITION yet to be met by
the Governor and the friends of the
anti-gambling bills when the final vote
is taken. The outward indications,
however, are to the contrary.
Senator Grattan, of Albany, today
Joined the supporters of the legisla-
ion, giving the bills 81 votes, and thus
making it necessary for the opposition
o gain at least two between now and
he final vote.

CLAUSE ELIMINATED
NEW YORK METHODIST CONFER.
ENcE ADOPTS RESOLUTION
ON SUBJECT.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The New
York Methodist Conference today
adopted the resolution asking for the
elimination of clause No. 24S of the
book of discipline, which prohibits
card playing, theaters, dancing and
other amusements. The question will
now come before the general confer
ence in the shape of a recommends
ton at the request of the New York
conference.
1t is expected, however, that the
resolution will not pass the general
conference without some discussion
and voting against it. The confer
ence by vote Of 116 to SO went on
record today as favoring a return to
he system of limited pastorate that
existed in the church for more than

DRUNKENNESS AND ALCOHOLISM

DRUNKENNESS AND ALCOHOLISM
We are fighting drunkenness in
this country: France is fighting
| Alcoholism. Drunkenness is not the
most dangerous thing about drinking
We are told that about one-third of
those who drink in America become
what is termed drunkards, but harm
begins-the harm-when the man
begins to drink
Alcoholism is chronic poisoning
The way is prepared for 1t with the
first drink. 1t is what man who
drinks leaves to his posterity; it is
what is robbing France of child-life
today and threatens to wipe that ma
ton from off the map of the world.
This is why the government of France
is alarmed. The very existence of the
nation is jeapordized. Births are de-
creasing at such a ratio that some
thing must be done speedily to save
France from extinction. Scientists |
have discovered that alcoholism is the |
root ofthe evil, that it is chiefly to
blame for this alarming sterility.

must go-beautiful, light-hearted,
