SHIPPING ORDER
 MUCH DISCUSSED

Boston, December 13.-Opinion is divided ir New England shipping interests over the recent order of Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor, regulating the towing of barges in in- hnd waters. Neither shipowners nor barge men look upon the new order as at all settling the. long controversy over the best method of transporting, by water, merchandise in bulk. On the other hand, the cutting down of the length of the tows and decrease in the number Of barges is regarded by steamship ma riners with favor; is hailed by the ship building interests of Maine as indicating revival of business, especially in small or vessels. and witR satisfaction by ship chandlers as a return to the outftting conditions for sailing vessels which made their trade go profitable in former years.
 The barge line owners claim that limit ing the number of vessels in a tow to which will raean rise in the price of fuel to the consumer.
 On the other hand, the shipping inter es0 are strong in the opinion that the or der is not sufficiently radical as 1t fails to deal with the long distance towing from the Chesapeake and Delaware capes to northern waters. Sailing masters com plain that there is nothing to prevent a tug leaving Newport News with six barges lGshed together in two divisions of three each, and after getting outside the capes Of the Chesapeake to string them out into q tow two miles long.

BETTING ON RACES
 IS NOT GAMING

Cincinnati, December 1S.-'The decision of the Kentucky court of appeals on Fri day to the effect that betting on horse races Is not gaming within the meaning of the Kentucky statute against such ac- tion was of interest to Latonia track people. not alone because of the fact that the case went up from that track, but also because it seems to have an indirect bearing on the contest involving the life of the famous race course.
 The Latonia management sought an in- junction against the state racing com mission. wl,ich had forbidden the installa- tlon of regular bookmaklng at the various meetings thus year, the case being still fin the K eaton county court awaiting d hearing One of the contentious of the Latonia Jockey club was that the com mission had authority to fix dates. but go l further, so long as no law was broken. bookmakinS being declared to be not con trary to the law of Kentucky.
 By the McDevitt-Thomas case, decided Friday, this contention seems to be sus- tained
