RACE BILLS DELAYED
Final Vote on Antibetting Meas
 ures Goes Over at Albany.
OPPONENTS KEEP UP FIGHT
Mot Over Vet by Long Shot," Says Senator MeCarren-BiIls Passed by the Assembly Substituted For Those Before the Senate. -.

Albany, N. r., April 3.-The failure of Governor Hughes to send special message and of his representatives, in the senate to follow up the advantage gained by them in the race track bills fight has placed those measures in jeopardy.
 sAs result of the inaction of the governor and the bungling in" the han ding of the measures in the upper house a final vote cannot be taken for several days. This is precisely what Senators McCaren, Grady, Emerson, Wemple and the other opponents play ed for. v-
 The bills have gone over until next Wednesday, when they will be spe- cial order on final passage in the sen ate. This arrangement was made by unanimous consent at the request of Majority Leader Raines after day of intermittent skirmishing, most of it of a technical parliamentary character. Senator Agnew, with the assistance of Senators Raines, Page, Sake and Smith, succeeded in having the assem- ply bills of Assemblyman Hart, which have already passed the assembly, sub Stituted for his own. .....,.-.
 From Senate to Governor. s..s E.,
 The practical result is that when the bills come up on Wednesday they will, if passed. go next to the governor for the signature which will make them law. But for this substitution the sen ate bills of Senator Agnew, which were advanced at the close of a long strug- gle, would, if passed, have to be con cured in by the assembly.
 There is much speculation and a good deal of solicitude on the part of the friends of the bills as to the effect of the delay upon their prospect of en- actment. Tremendous pressure is be- ing exerted by both sides upon sena- tors regarded as doubtful, and while those who have in charge the fight against this legislation admitted more or less publicly that the odds were now against them, there is an under current of rumor in quarters usually well informed that they have a sur prise in store for the governor and the friends of the antigambling bills when the final vote is taken. 5@ sE Bills Champions Lose Point.
 It was admitted the advocates of the measures lost point by not insisting upon the final vote at once. McCarren and other opponents of the bills smiled in most satisfied manner and, while not venturing any predictions, said significantly. '"This fight is not over yet by long shot"
 The fight now shifts to New York, whither McCarren hurried immediately after what amounted to a victory for his side. In order to defeat the bills now the minority must secure and hold two votes or at least prevent the ma jority from securing twenty-six.
 There arc several ways of accom- plishing this result-by absence. by "dodging" the roll call or by a change in front of two senators who voted for the bills. What inducements and the size and character of the arguments" that will be offered by the racing peo- pie can only be guessed.

SHOT IN COURTROOM
Desperate, Guilty of Arson, Tries
 to Kill Prosecutor.
DROPS AFTER SHOOTING FIVE

Indiana Hall of Justice Turns Into a
 Battlefield After Chief of Detectives
 ls siain-Wounded Men Expected to
 Recover.
 Terre Haute, Ind, April 3-Found guilty of charge of arson, Henry D. Mcdonald in the circuit courtroom shot and killed Chief of Detectives William E. Dwyer, seriously wounded three other officers and a bystander and was himself seriously wounded. Mcdonald had been tried for dynamit- ing stores and church in Sanford last year.
 As soon as the jury reported its ver- dict Mcdonald jumped up, drew a re- volver and fired at Prosecuting Attor. ney James A. Cooper, IT,, but missed because Cooper tipped his chair over backward. Mcdonald continued firing at the officers seated around the coun- sel table. Detective Dwyer fell dead at the third shot.
 Policemen and deputy sheriffs in the courtroom drew revolvers and opened fire on Mcdonald, who returned the fire. Before the convicted man fell with half dozen bullets in his body he had shot Harvey " Jones, superin- tendent of police, in the side, Deputy Sheriff Ira Wellman in the chin, Syl- yester Doyle, court bailiff, in the leg and a bystander in the side.
 Lawyer Gets In Way of Bullets.
 The jurors jumped to their feet at the first shot. Judge J. T. Walker, one of the attorneys, tried to stop McDon- aid, but he only hindered the officers, who were afraid of hitting him when they shot at Mcdonald.
 Judge Crane, who presided at the trial, ran to the railing of the jury box, and spectators rushed out in confusion. Persons in offices below the courtroom heard the shots and rushed toward the upper floor only to collide with the people leaving the courtroom. About thousand persons collected around the building in few minutes, and the po- lice had to be called to prevent the crowd from forcing its way into the courthouse.
 Some of the spectators to the shoot Ing said McDonald's brother also fired at the officers. The officers are look ing for the brother.
 Mcdonald was finally overwhelmed by officers, his ammunition spent and his strength weakened by wounds, and taken to hospital. It is said that Mcdonald and the other wounded men will recover.
 Dynamitsd Churches and Stores.
 Events which eliminated SO tragic ally had their origin in dynamiting outrages that destroyed the Methodist church and the general stores of Shic- kle X Johnson and J. W. Reese of San ford on the night of Feb. 21. 1907. Henry Mcdonald and James Scanlon were arrested the next day, charged with the crime. In former trial the jury disagreed. Scanlon has not been tried.
 While Mcdonald was held to be desperate man. he had been permitted his liberty during the trial. The police department has been active in the case, and several officers were in court to hear the verdict.

Land Piracy Checked.

a0f course, where mining companies,
organized solely to obtain vast areas
OF timber land. under cover OF the min.
ing laws, especially the timber and stone
act. and the placer mining laws, found
their work exposed BY the activity and
watchfulness OF the forest officers, they
naturally raised cry against the service
that woke the echoes.
"Tbe placer laws allows company to
obtain title to twenty acres Of land sim

worth OF mining work done upon it. Na

quired. Prove that five hundred dollars

patent is issued. The takers are not
limited to single tract, but can have
Just as many tracts as they have sums
Of i've hundred dollars TO invest. Under
this placer law, whole townships, covered
with the finest timber on the Pacific
coast, we're taken up solely to obtain
title TO the land for the timber upon it.

been issued on these lands, the forest
service stepped in and put stop to it.

, THE NEW CURE.

The old-fashioned slipshod methods
OF treating Chronic Diseases, with their
guess work Diagnosis, their drastic
and poisonous drugs, their harsh treat
ments, barharous, unnatural, and
dangerous operations, have passed
away. The modern method Of treat
ment, Magnopathy, with Its certainty
Of Diagnosis, Its mild application Of
Natures forces and remedies, its sys-
tenn Of cure without cutting operations
and painful treatments, has come in its
place. This system Of cure, originated
and developed by DR.. Barbriclk, is Pc
culiar to itself, and is as essentially
and radically different from, as it Is
aunerfor To. MI other methods.
