Albany, April 7.-Senator McCarren,
recognizing that the life or death of his
influence with the legislatu (which be
has welded so long and so successfully
depends upon the fate of the anti-raee
track betting bills, in putting up a fight
such as he never put up before.
The passage OF these bills will mean his
downfall from the high pedestal he has
occupied in the esteem Of corporations
which want things done" by the Iegisla-
ture. But in striving to defeat the bills
the senator has encountered big odds.
With his Senators Chris
ty'' Sullivan, Gilehrist, and Emerson-he
has been using every influence in his
power TO persuade doubtful senators TO
help knife the measures. There were
many secret and earnest conversations
about the hotels in Albany last night. The
work was continued to-day and tonight
and last desperate stand viii undoubt-
edly be made on the floor Of the senate
tomorrow morning, when the bills come
up for final passage. Senators Grattan,
Knapp, Burr, and Wilcox are receiving
treatment in an attempt 10 cure any de-
sage of the bills.
MeCarreE Needs Votes.
The McCarTen crowd viii need all OF
these votes and one more, but It's doubt
ful if any Of them can be persuaded.
For long time last night Grattan was
given the benefit Of earnest arguments by
Senators Gilchrist and Emerson. Burr and
Wilcox are still nonc0mmittal. The latter
has just arrived in Albany from Colorado.
where his son is i'll. To-day he said he
had not given the bin enough considera-
tiOn to tell what his position would be.
But he said, IF we provide an inn
prisonment penalty for this form Of gam
/ bling, I can't see why We don't provide il
for stock gambling and all other forms Of
gambling"
In spite Of this stateemnt It is believed
by people close TO Wilcox that he will
vote for the bills
The race-track people believe they have
Burr and Knapp. and working on this
assumption. are using every effort TO in
fuence Grattan and Wilcox. Ii is under
stood that a conference OF opponents OF
the bills was held at the Fort Orange
Club last night. and that plan of action
was mapped out
Need Four Votes.
They believe that If they can get all
these four votes they can defeat the
measures but to make sure of their posi-
ton they are working on Senators Cas-
sidy and Foelker. whom they believe to
be open 10 persuasion.
In spite Of this hard fight, however.
men in a position 10 know what they are
talking about believe there is little chance
OF defeating the bills They feel sure
that at least Grattan, Knapp Cassidy,
and Foelker will Withstand the assaults
on them without waYering. It Is con-
esded by even the race-traok people that
the other Twenty-fOur senator's, besides
F'oelker and Cassidy, who voted against
the September 1 amendment are i'm
movable. Then, with these four votes. Il
would give the supporters or the bills
twenty-eight votes. two more than is
necessary to pass the bills. And If Wilcox
and Burr vote for the bills. as is expected,
the final vote will be thirty 10 twenty.

9oionel Lewis Gives Him Only Eight
Hundred More Years TO Practice.
Colonel james Hamilton Lewis. cor.
poration counsel OF Chicago. politician,
former congressman. wit and after
dinner speaker. says:
In 500 years-yes before that period
has elapsed-the lawyer will be with.
out profession.
The law is in the midst of great
changes" be said TO Chicago Post
writer 81 believe that IN ffty years
the evolution will have progressed so
far that we will have q tribunal some
thing like those of ancient Greece,
where any man, whether be be lawyer
or not. can go and present his case.
THE lawyer. except as an advocate.
Is disappearing from the world The
necessity for him is waning. Men are
learning TO get together and settle their
business matters or their troubles with.
out him
There was time when the law Of
fered man preferment. honors, social
entree and everything TO be desired.
Not so today. The lawyer is looked
upon as parasite. feeding on the body
polite On every hand we see lawyers
turning away from the practice of their
profession and getting into channels OF
life Offering them better returns for
their abilities.
Il say without hesitation that the law
yer Is the lowest paid worker In any
class OF endeavor to be cited. consider
Ing what he puts into his work. Take
the corporation lawyer getting perhaps
$500 or $1,000 year. He makes Il
possible for his employers to accumu-
late millions. Take the lawyer who de-
tends the corporation damage suit.
What does he get for the llfeblood he
puts into his fight2
Take the criminal lawyer He gives
his very flesh TO the cause. He saves
life and liberty, and In return what
does he get but paltry sum-
II repeat that the world Is learning
to get along without lawyers. You ask
me IL II Is not true that the colleges are
turning out more lawyers today than
ever before and that the number OF
lawyers In proportion to the populate
Is increasing. am not prepared to say
that such is the fact My opinions have
been decried by the law schools that
are turning out lawyers to starve.
I'VE do not have TO go far back to
see what an evolution already has
taken place I'm the legal calling Now
Ii is not learning that takes u man ia
the front; il is not depth OF wisdom,
years of study or conscientious work
What is IL Paper cap explosions
noise.
mo longer Is 1t necessary for man
to be q lawyer to go to congress: bust.
ness men go there. The places once
considered as belonging only to ths
lawyer are going to men in other walks
| OF life. The lawyer on every hand Is
being crowded out. The people are be
coming intelligent enough TO get alonG
without him as an intermediary"
