ANTI-GAMBLING BILLS NOW LAWS Governor Hughes Signs Meas ures After Having Passed
 Senate by Vote of
 26 to 25.
FOELKER'S VOTE DECIDING
Sick Senator Taken Into Chamber for 3oll-Call at Noon-Itncc- Track Supporters Sur
 priscd.

Albany, June ll.-With Senator Foel- ker casting the deciding vote. Gov. Hughes today won his long fight against race-track gambling, both his bills pas' ing by vote of 26 to 25. The scene, as Senator Foelker was helped into the senate, elaning on his cane and helped by his doctor, was one of the most dramatic In the history of the legislature. Galleries and floors were crowded with men and women; even the aisles were packed, and, as the bent figure of tho senator appear ed, there burst forth applause which was instantly checked-and then for nearly two hours of hot, exciting session, Mir Foelker sat, waiting his turn.
 Tho excitement was sustained until the last man had voted on the first Dill, which was the one amending the Penal Code. All over the senate, mem hers and spectators sat checking off the votes. As each doubtful man was passed without change the inteneeness of the moment grew-not until Sena- tor Horace White, the last of the gov ernor's adherants, voted did the strain break. Then, amid the wild dash of telegraph boys and reporters to the wires. the tension ended
 The debate prior to the passage of the bills never reached a point of in- terest. It was entirely pro forma, while the agreement of Senator's Raines and Grady made flilbustering impossl- ble To the very end no one under stood the tactics of the race-track sen ators. Why they had surrendered re- mains a mystery.
 The whispers are now going the rounds that to the very end they count ed upon vote they lost--but their sur prise and disappointment were mani fest They had expected to win-and their confidence had convinced the Al. bany audience.
 Gov Hughes joy was unmlstakable when the news was brought to him The smile upon his face was broader than any that has been seen during hIs entire term, From first to last Senator FOclher HlOnc dlVlueu the RlOry or the day with the governor.
 Senator Grady said "I am not sur. prised If they had twenty-six votes there never was anything else to 1t. Nc filibuster could succeed, and realized that when made my agreement yes terday'
 Nothing to say said McCarren Yes, l was surprised. l never though roelkcr could get here"
 At l;30 D. m. the senate finally ad journed, bringing to sudden end on, of the most exciting sessions of recen years. The assembly adjourned at two o'clock.
 The governor at 4:35 D. m. signed both anti gambling bills.

 A young man named Wasserman was the next one to favor the petition. He thought that licensing would be Ahe right thing
 Judge Wolfe took the burden of the opposition. One of the evils which every city has to contend with, he declared, is that Of ticket specula- ton, and New Haven has had Its share. The speculators themselves, he said, were to blame for the fact that an ordinance had been passed against them. The judge declared that the repeal of the ordinance would simply have the effect of giving the man with plenty of money an ad- vantage over men with limited means in securing the best seats. Contlnu- ing, he said that the present ord- nance ought to stand, now that we have one. Another of the evils he spoke of was the bringing to this city whenever there is college game of

AN EXTREME CASE.
What Might Be the Result if Presi-
 dent Should Commit Murder.

Let us assume that some president of the United States should kill a citi- zen either from private hatred, or. at any. rate, from motives which in the case of an ordinary person would have no weight at all with an intelli- gent jury. Even then it is difficult to conceive of conviction. Bail would still be accepted on grounds of public policy. All the machinery of delay, with which we are SO familiar in the case of ordinary murderers, would be set in motion; and by the time that the trial actually came off the presi- dent would either be acquitted, or be- cause some of the jury would be of his political party, there would be disa- greement.
 If the murder were committed in the District of Columbia, of which the president Is practically an absolute ruler, 1t Is very doubtful whether any, thing would be done at all, in the most indefensible case. There is the curious circumstance that even if the jury of the District of Columbia should find the president guilty of murder In the first degree, and the judge should sentence the president to be hanged, the president would have the legal right to issue full and free pardon to himself.
 Here comes In second and very in- teresting phase of the subject. Assum- ing that president should commit murder in the District of Columbia, that he should be convicted. and that he should pardon himself, and that, moreover, every human being was thoroughly convinced of his turpitude, and suppose also that both houses of congress were controlled by his polit- ical opponents, could he be impeached and removed from office?
 This is a question which has never been definitely settled. We need not conllne the question to one of murder. Let us imagine president who, after his election, developed the most de- testable traits. Let us suppose him to live in the most fragrant and open im- morality, appearing In state of drunkenness on public occasions, dis gracing alike himself, his office and his country. Even then could he be impeached and deposed ?---R w Kemp In the Rookman.

 Tho hearing of these cases produced the only picturesque scenes of the day. Jeese NJ, Littleton, counsel for the oliv- mon came into the hall armed and dis played huge hatchets with which he said the Oliver men had been threat ened.
 Newell Sanders, chairman of the state central committee. supplied a counter irritant to the Littleton hach- e exhibition by telling in his argu- ment, of the desperate fight which the Hale men were compelled to make before they were allowed in the hall, and of how big colored man was about to chop him when an Oliver man put the negro suddenly into a state of coma.

 If law could he framed so that New Haven men might be favored and tho outsiders debarred he thought it might have some considerations but this he said was legally impossible as there could be no such discrimination.
 Everard Thompson. manager of the Yale Ticket association told of the ex- cellent effect which the ordinance has had on tho ticket work In connection with the ticket sales by the university. He said that It had greatly reduced the cost of tho ticket distribution and had also cut down the number of applIca- tions of students which had fallen into wrong hands so that there were now vcry few Furthermore he eaid 1t had as a result increased the number of tickets which went to tho general pub lie, He thought the law in every way excellent and favored it's retention.

Pardee thought they should divide the stands up and put them in different places.
 ! Alderman Berman opposed the change. He said that the loss of those who were forced to move would be the gain of some of the big express com panies and that they had large stud ent trade which a change to another location would damage great deal. James Moohan, one Of the expressmen took the stand for his craft and said that they wanted to stay where they were. Alderman Miller also opposed any change and declared that the opin- ion of those who had signed the peti- tion but had not come to the meet l Ing should not be considered Alderman Cunningham who placed the petition before the board said that he opposed 1t and now that only one of the signers had shown Up he was stil more oppos- cd to it.
 No one appeared to oppose the ordin. ance requiring a license for inhamma- 1 ble oils.
 The committee also took up the ordln ance regarding the regulation of. .trafflc which was given two hearings earlier but failed to arrive at any conclusion and will not report on that at the meet. Ing on Monday night

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practicing physician TO ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
a splendid medical training in one Of the
best medical colleges of that day was &C
customed to ride ten, twenty, thirty miles
or more visiting the sick and afflicted.
His success was soon phenomenal. Doc
tors and families called him for consulta-
ton to towns at considerable distances
by rail. His speciality was the cure of
those common and distressing diseases
of women. He had early discovered that
by combining the extracts of the follow
ing medicinal plants, In just the right
proportion, without the use of alcohol his
Prescription" almost invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in shape easily
to be procured, he established a labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N Y, where regu-
larly qualified chemists were put in
charge to accurately prepare his UPre-
scription" and put it in shape for ship
ment to all parts Of the world. This
remedy, which he named DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not Upatent

women, and a regular physicians pre-

The canvas carrier, which revolves
around pivots placed at each end of
the steel boom, is divided by bars of
wood into pockets thirty inches in
length and forty-eight inches wide.
The fruit is loaded into the pockets at
each deck by negroes and is swiftly
carried up the perpendicular boom and
across to the wharf.
A lookout tower is stationed on top
of the machine, from which one opera
tor controls the entire mechanism. The
trucks on which the platform is built
rest on a track which runs the entire
length of the wharf, making 1t possible
to move the apparatus from place to
place. This is accomplished under its
own power.

FUNCTION OF WATER.
Why Liquids Should Be Taken Spar,
ingly During Meals.

H6iy SNiiH9 "Sdias
An article In Deutsche Revue consid-
ers the function of water in the human
body. The author points out that wa
ter serves both as a solvent for other
substances in the body and is itself
absorbed into other substances. These
are of great importance because there
are hundreds of chemical reactions in
the body, none of which Is possible
without the use of water. 1t is the
only solvent the chemical laboratory
of human being has for the many
purposes of dissolving substances
which must be transformed.
Water on entering the stomach is
probably not at all absorbed there,
acting merely as a medium in which
the chemical changes take place. If 1t
were absorbed while still in the stom-
ach the digestive process could not be
properly accomplished In the small in
testines, where 1t is needed, but when
that process is practically completed In
the large intestines the water, having
fulfilled its task, is ready to enter the
blood.
Even a layman may gather from this
how Irrational it is to take large guam
titles OF fluid, as soups Or beverages,
during meals, especially In case Of
sluggish digestion or enlargement Of
the stomach, as digestion is too much
retarded If the digestive fluids are too
much diluted.
A highly important function of wa
ter finally Is that of regulating the
temperature Of the body, cooling 1t by
evaporation from lungs and skin. Its
power as a thermo regulator makes the
appreciation Of water very necessary
in the human economy.
