ANTLGAMsLlNG LAW is BROKEN.
Nine Persons Are Arrested at Graves
end Race Track for Bettjno,

end Race Track for Betting.
New York, June 14.-Between 49,
600 and 10000 persons j%ourneyed
down to the Gravesend race track yes
terday to see the horses run and ii
possible to make a wager on their ia
vorites. Six races were run, accord
ing TO the schedule. There was bet
fact that the Agney-Hart anti-gam-
bling law was in force and that John
Cavanaugh, the master of the betting
ring, announced that no speculation
should be INDUCED in. Nine persons
were taken into custody by the author
tiles, and each was held in 5000 bail
for a hearing today.
Orlando Jones, one of the leading
members of the Metropolitan Turf as
ISOLATION, was the most prominent of
the bookmakers arrested.
Almost a Riot.
Something akin to a riot occurred
when the first arrest was made, just
as the horses were going to the post
for the first race. Each succeeding
arrest was followed by a wild scram-
BILE of the crowds to get near the chief
actors in the scene, but nothing more
violent than the hurting of a few cpl
thets was INDUCED in.
What betting there was was rot
general in character, but took place
between persons well known to each
other. The individual unknown to the
bookniakers had no chance to back
his horse.

Hotel Men Disappointed.

1t was observed that some of the ar
irving state delegations were stripped
10 a strict business basis of delegates
and alternates. without the usual quo
ia of lung shoaters. This brought the
cancellation of hotel rooms in goodly
number until some of the large hotels
threatened legal proceedings for this
unexpected diminution of revenue.
The headquarters of the presiden-
tial candidates were full of activity
throughout the day. But while these
seem were going on before the eys
of all, the more important work of
preparation on candidates and plat.
form was being gone over at private
conferences in the upper chambers of
the hotels, where few were admitted
and little was made known.
Confer on Platform.
One of the chief conferences OF the
day was upon the platform, and while
this was rather informal it brought
about the clear understanding that
the document as already drafted. in
accordance with the views of the pres
ident and Mr.. Taft, would go before
the convention in substantially its
present form.
The vice presidential contest con
tinues to be the most enigmatical fea-
ture of the preliminary work and the
delegates are as much in doubt as at
any time since the contest began.
The Dolliver element appears to be
making the greatest advance, and this
gave rise yesterday to reports that
the Dolliver movement was now as
sured of success The friends of 9th
er candidates were far from admitting
this and began maturing plans for de-
cisive action.

Chicago. June 16.-With flags flying,

the usual Sunday calm of Chicago
gave way yesterday to the many noisy
demonstrations which usher in a ma
tional convention. State delegations
and marching clubs, slow in arriving,
passed into the city throughout the

summer day, with bright skies and a

GROWING STRONGER. Apparently, With Advancing Age.

"In 1896 at the age of 50 years l collapsed from excessive coffee drink ing" writes a man in Mo. For four years I shambled about with the aid of crutches or cane, most of the time unable to dress myself without help.
 My feet were greatly swollen, my right arm was shrunken and twisted Inward, the fingers of my right hand were clenched and could not be extend ed except with great effort and pain. Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief.
 Now, during all this time and for about 30 years previously, I drank daily an average of six cups of strong coffee rarely missing a meal
 My wife at last took my case into her own hands and bought some Pos tum. She made it according to direc- tions and liked it fully as well as the best high grade coffee.
 Improvement set in at once. fr about six months I began to work a little. and in less than a year I was very much better, improving rapidly from day to day. l am now in far bet ter health than most men of my years and apparently growing stronger witf advancing age.
 q ann busy every day at some kind of work and am able to keep up witf the procession without cane. The arm and hand that were once almost useless. now keep far ahead in rapiditl of movement and beauty of penman' ship"
