MAKING WAR ON
 ANTIBETTING LAW.
BOokmakerS Plan to Have Case
 Brought Into Court.

New York, June 15.-Added interest was lent today to the horse racing sit nation in New York by the declara tion that legal proceedings will be begun [ immediately to bring the constitution ality of the new Agnew-Hart antirace track betting law to test. Many per sons qualified to pass judgment on the situation declare that without betting horse racing cannot thrive, and that, recognizing this, the racing powers re alize the necessity of making some move at once to straighten cut the tan gle
 In order to do this. it is said, three test cases have been prepared and will he fought through the court of appeals with the approval of the district at torney's office of Kings county Two points. it is declared, will be raised whether it is illegal to post odds against horse and what in the eyes of the new law constitutes a bet and to what extent private wagering may be indulged in-that is, without records thereof being made.
 The present plan is said to he to have three well known layers of odds arrested so that a general construc- ton of the law may be had. There Is no doubt that the present chaotic con- dition of affairs is injuring the at tendance at the Gravesend track.
 The feature event of the racing this week will he the running of the his toric Suburban handicap at Sheeps- head Bay Friday.

Declares That Men of Wealth and In.
 fluenoe Plotted Against Him In Or
 der to Obtain Fortune of Millionaire
 Rice, For. Whose Death He Is In
 Prison-Application Believed to Be Opening of New Fight For Liberty.
 May Mean Disordered Mind.
 New York, June 15.-With all the i bitterness of one whose mind seems to , be obsessed by the belief that persons i of great wealth and influence have 1 united with the state authorities in a gigantic conspiracy against him, Albert i T. Patrick, serving a life sentence in Sing Sing for the murder of William i Marsh Rice, has made charges of a remarkable kind against his supposed ! prosecutors Patrick made the charges in an application to Judge Lacombe of 1 the United States circuit court for a writ of habeas corpus, and his law i yer, in presenting the application to i the court, said that the document had been written by Patrick in his cell and that the lawyer had no part in draft i ing it. In substance, Patrick says he knows as a lawyer that it is irregular for state prisoner to apply to the United States district court for a writ of habeas corpus and a review of the merits of his conviction, but that, as all the state courts are in conspiracy against him. peculiar situation has arisen, and he therefore feels justified in appealing to the federal courts for his release. H charges that his con viction was obtained by deceit, op- pression and bribery and that the dis trict attorney, the grand jury and all the courts which passed on his case acted illegally and corruptly. H- Will Keep Up Fight.
 Patrick's application is regarded as an indication that the prisoner, who was sentenced to death, but whose sentence was commuted to imprison- ment for life by former Governor Hig- gins, has no intention of abandoning the remarkable fight he has made for freedom. Many of those who read the document which was presented to Judge Lacombe expressed the belief that the prisoners mind had given way.
 Patrick was specific as well as bitter in his denuncia.ion of his supposed prosecutors. Ths object of the con spiracy against him, he said, was to enable persons whom he named to ob- tain the fortune left by Rice. He charged also that these persons al- ready had diverted more than S3.000,- 900 from the estate and that $100000 of this amount was paid into the treasury of the city of New York for the pretended purpose of prosecuting him.
 Participating in such conspiracy" Patrick says. ''in addition to those al- ready specifically named, were and are many persons of great wealth and high standing and of official, profess sional, social and political influence in the present degenerate oligarchy, non republican. arbitrary and corrupt gov emment of the state. and because of disrespect for law, disregard for hu- man rights. low state of public morals, individual helpfulness and supineness, it is wholly impracticable for your complainant to obtain any redress, hearing or just conclusion of law or fact from the state officers or tribunals, and an emergency exists which makes relief by this court imperative"

APPOINTS COMMISSION
TO REVISE STATE NAMES

Salem, Ore. October 2.-Governor
George Chamberlain yesterday ap-
pointed a commission consisting OF
Prof. ]. b. Horner of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college, VIII G.. steel OF
Portland, and Prof. Joseph Schaffer
Of the University of Oregon. to con-
fer ana cooperate with the United
states geographic board for the pur-
pose of revising and changing the
names of places in oregon that seem
to have acquired titles in a haphaz-
ard manner.
Accompanying the appointment the
governor has issued a letter in which
he gives the reasons for the step.
Following is the governors communi-
cation:
My reason for appointing such a
commission is two-fold. There are
lakes, streams. creeks. valleys and
mountains In the state bearing the
same names; and for the purpose of
Identification this duplication, wheth-
er on official maps or in tradition,
ought to be corrected and prevented.
Many OF the old landmarks of the
state, particularly in the mountain
ranges, either have no names at ali
or else have names entirely without
significance from an historic point
of view. There are instances of places
on the map bearing the names Of en-
gineers or other persons entirely dis
connected with traditions and early
history OF the state.
Early legends connected with In
dian pioneer life cluster around many
Of these historical places and some
concerted effort ought to be made by
our legally authorized United States
geographic board before it is too late
to so name these points Of interest, so
as to preserve the traditions of the
state, whether of pioneer or Indian
ife."
The progress ana proceedings OF
he commission will be given to the
public from time to time so that the
proper assistance can be had from
Interested persons and those familiar
with the early history and legends OF
he state.

ply for best results, will probably al
ways be more or less mooted ques-
ton. Information may, however. be
obtained from successful neighbors.
from those who have seen irrigation
practiced in many localities and have
observed carefully, and from publica-
tons OF the different experiment sta
tions ond af the government bureaus.
Among the crops best adapted to
conditions in Wyoming may be men,
toned, first of ALL alfalfa, then the
other hays and forage crops Among
the grains. barley, oats and wheat
stand best in their ability to produce
profit. The growing of beardless bar
ley for feed Is especially to be rec
commended. the whole plant being pal
atable and very nutritious for live
stock OF all kinds. The root crops
give very large yields in many por-
tions Of the state and perhaps the
highest profit per acre Is obtained
from them, If we do not consider
fruit and garden vegetables. Pota-
toes, beets and turnips are the most
widely Grown of the root crops. III
the higher attitudes, where farming
is carried on in this state, field peas
are found to be one of the most prof
table crops for the farmer. Fruit
and berry growing will extend rapid
ly with the rise in value. of the lands
and the demand for such products.

SOME ADVICE TO IRRIGATION SETTLERS

The following letter from Prof
Newell Of Wyoming, given to the set
tiers under irrigation projects in tha
state. applies so well TO the conditions
OF Umaulla county that it is reproduc.
ed herewith:
Many new irrigation projects are
now being brought before the pub
lie in Wyoming Prospective settler:
are coming 10 these lands in great
numbers. and many of them are buy
ircg. Most Of these settlers are from
the middle western states, and II IA
muar with farming at all. it is farm
inc under humid conditions. II is not
hoped in this little article TO give any
rules for the guidance of settler in
Wyoming unfamiliar with arid condi-
tions. but among the suggestions Civ
en- hero there may be one or two that
will help in some degree by indicat-
ing what problems the new settler
has 10 solve.
Firs, Of all, a good farmer in the
east under humid conditions most
usually becomes a good farmer when
placed in entirely different conditions
Of the arid region. II is being real
lied more and more that farming is
most successful when carried on un-
der the same principles that make for
success in business or professional life

as he is termed in ridicule, has so fire.
quently made q practical success that
he is not laughed at by experienced
farmers as he used 10 be. The new
settler in the arid regions of this state
should realize from the beginning,
however. that he much largely put
away the methods of farming used in
the eastern states and learn TO meet
actual conditions as they arise.
Irrigated lands may be obtained in
this. as well as other western states
by several methods Government
lands may be secured under the home
stead act, either with or without COM
mutation. and under the desert land
act Under both Of these residence is
required. as the policy Of the govern
meut is 10 have the public lands pass
into the hands Of actual settlers rath-
er than large land holders or those
who wish to- hold it for speculative
purposes. Government lands suscep-
tible Of irrigation are segregated into
areas either under the Carey land
laws or the reclamation act After
these lands have been reclaimed by ir-
rigation by private companies in the
former or by the United States recla-
nation service in the latter case, the
farms are sold TO actual settlers in
small areas not exceeding $50 acres.
The requirements under the Carey act
are similar to those under the desert
land law. except that the total pay
ment fo- land and water right may
be made after a residence Of one
month or in small anual payments II

settler upon proof Of his reclamation
Of certain part Of his land. Both
