RACE TRACK FIGHT
Trouble Brewing Between Gov
ernor and Commissioner
of Racing.
PENAL CODE INVOKED
Public Sentiment ACCOMPLISHMENTS
May Leave Country to Evade
Special Session.

Albany. April l4-There Is trouble
ing commissioner, in consequence of
his opposition To Governor Hughes
on the race track gambling legislation.
II will not discuss the matter" re-
piled the governor with the obvious
inference that he had not overlooked
the incident.
There is just one way in which the
governor can take cognlzance 81 this
matter-namely. II charges are sub
mitted. The governor is waiting
calmly. not with reluctance, for these
charges. When they are made, II
they shall be made. there is the best
reason for the assertion that they will
have rather prompt consideration.
The Sanford incident has attracted
the more attention here because the
| commissioners senator, Wemple OF
Schenectady. who. voted against the
bills, has worked himself into such a
state of Indignation, that he Is invok-
ing the penal code TO destroy the gov
ernor and the clergymen and citizens
! of his town who have expressed their
view of his action The section OF
the penal code cited by Senator Wem-
pie however seems TO have n double
reference to this matter. The provi-
sion Is as follows:
A person who wilfully compels or at-
tempts to compel n member OF the
| legislature TO pass. amend or reject a
bill, etc, Is punishable by imprison-
ment of not less than five years nor
more than ten years, or a fine Of not
less than $500 nor more than $4,000,
or both.
Mr.. Wemple thinks this applies to
tho governor and the clerRymen But
Mr.. Wemple's colleague, Senator EN-
erson, declared that he voted for the
bill because Mr. Sanford was boss OF
one of tho counties, and was a bad
man to oppose, because he once spent
$3.50, 900 to defeat man who dis
pleased him.
I'D hate TO have him spend any oi
that sum to defeat me-" remarked
Emerson.
When MIR. Wemple made this amaz
ing discovery In the penal code, M
was asked: why wouldn't this sec.
ton apply to William Barnes, jr., ant
to John Sanford ?" This application
however, did not impress Mr.. Wemple
Public sentiment Is beginning t.
make itself felt here in very mark
ed degree, Senator Aokroyd of Onei
da had very bad quarter OF an hou
with his constituents, who came dowr
to express their opinion to him las
night. Senators Grattan, Wemple anC
Cassidy are icing treated to simila,
doses Of popular indignation. Thl!
keeps the atmosphere here tense II
the extreme. 1t would be inaccurate
however to conclude that there Is an,
present sign Of breakup among tn,
opponents Of the governor. There is
as yet, no real basis for any hope 70
the bills and few trained observer
here believe that they will be passed
at the present session.
Even at the extra session there 4
grave doubt for the fate OF the bills
Several senators have announce,
their intention of going to Europe, o
elsewhere outside the jurisdiction o
the state.

TROOPS TO WITHDRAW
FROM CUBA 3 DAYS SOONER

Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has directed that the
United States troops be withdrawn
from Cuba on January %, 1909, three
days in advance of the date originally
set, as the result of a request by
citizens of the island
Several weeks ago Gen Enrique
Loinaz del Catillo, a prominent citi-
zen of Havana, wrote to the President
on the subject, saying:
ALLOW me to ask another boon for
the Cuban nation, advancing by three
days the restoration of the republic,
so that it takes place January 2Sth,
1909. the anniversary of the birth of
Jose Marti. This would be the best
way to pay homage to the beloved
memory Of the great liberator | re-
quest that you will kindly consider
this petition from one of the disciples
of the master who shed his blood also
for the liberty of Cuba, and who, ad-
dressing you, is surely interpreting the
feelings of his countrymen Your
sincere admirer"
The President replied briefly as
follows:
Very Dear Gen. Loinaz: Have
just received your kind letter, and
spoke about it with Gov Magoon. |
believe you are right and / have eX-
pressed a desire that the governor
make preparations in order that his
evacuation may take place January
2Sth"

BACK TO DESKS OR
CLERKS LOSE JOBS

Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-With
the sanction of the President, the
civil service commission has issued a
political storm warning" bulletin
that has sent cold chill down the
backs of the small but enthusiastic
army of government employees, who
temporarily resigned to engage in
active political work in the national
campaign
These enterprising politicians be-
lieved they had resigned temporarily
but now the civil service commission
comes along with a prOnunciamenta
that all persons who resigned to take
part in the campaign will not be
again placed on the pay roll of Uncle
Sam
This bulletin is a cheerful one for
the Democrats, and they say it proves
the charge brought by them that
Judge Taft was nominated through
the aid of government officials, and
that his election cannot be secured
without the active Intervention of
those drawing pay from the govern
ment.
Prominence was given yesterday by
the civil service commission in its
circular 10 the TACT tnat IL was IS
sued by the direction of President
Roosevelt and is supposed to be an
official notice to the young men Nat
ional Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock
has drafted from the Federal service
that they had better get back to their
desks.
This is a young mans campaign
and is being run by young men, many
of whom, although full of energy and
ginger, have had little experience in
the game of politics. In making up
his list of lieutenants and hustling
subordinates, Chairman HitchcoB
drew somewhat heavily upon the var
ious departments and these are the
persons against whom the circular
| of the commission is aimed.
