HUGHES ORDERS
SHER|FFS TO STOP
TRACK GAMBLING
Commissioner Bingham VIII
Have Strong Force of Of
ficers at Gravesend.
SENATOR WALLACE'S RIGHT
TO SEAT QUESTIONED
Jockey Club Orders the Betting
Ring at Gravesend Track
Closed Today.

NEW YORK, June I2-In a letter re-
cetved today by the sheriGs in the State,
Governor Hughes calls upon those off,
cials to see that the provisions of the
Agnew-Hart anti-race track gambling
laws are enforced.
The betting ring at the Gravesend
track was ordered closed today by the
Jockey Club.
That the new law prohibiting betting
at the race tracks will be enforced, was
indicated by an announcement by Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham that he
had ordered two deputy commissioners
and an inspector to take a large num-
Der of police to the Gravesend track to
prevent betting on the races.
No important races were scheduled to
be held at Gravesend today, but the
attendance was expected to exceed the
ordinary attendance because of the
great curiosity as to the enforcement
of the new law, and the possibility that
1t would be put to a test by the arrest
of bookmaker selected to carry the
case through the courts.
Brooklyn Jockey Club, of which P. j.
Dwyer is president. Assistant District
Attorney Robert H. Elder, of Kings
County said there will be no betting at
the Gravesend track, If he can pre-
vent 1t.
The race track interests, headed by
many multi-miIiionaires, are to make a
fight "to the last ditch" against the
anti-race track gambling bills as passed
by the Legislature.
A test case Will be made. Gambling
will be done and arrests made, and the
case then taken through the courts.
It is the purpose of the allied racing
interests, as announced today, to fight
the matter through to the Court of
Appeals N an effort to have the law
declared unconstitutional
Admit Tight Corner.
If that fails, it is the purpose of the
racing interests to attempt to carry on
betting on a credit system. This would
mean that no actual money would pass
at the time bets were made, but that
the bettor on horse race would be
compelled to establish his credit with
a bookmdker.
A cablegram was received from Au-
gust Belmont, in Europe, who is presi-
dent of the Jockey Club, which con-
trolls all Of the tracks, and who is the
most potent figure in racing affairs, in
which he said chat all of the race meets
which had been scheduled for this sea-
son would have to be held, whether or
not there was betting. If there is no
betting, which now seems probable, the
owners of the race tracks stand to lose
a large amount of money.
Two Points of Attack.
In the fight to be made in the courts
the racing interests will allege two
points One is that the law is uncon-
stitutional, as it abridges the rights of
the people to do as they please, and the
other is that the law is void, as Senator
wallace. newly elected from the MI
agara district, did not have rigkt to
sit in this session, and, therefore, his
vote for the bills is void. On these two
noints the racing men propose to fight
the laws throughout the whole list of
courts

LEVER AFTER MONEY
For Soil Demonstration Work i'm Or

The Washington correspondent OF the
News and Courier says hearing Of
considerable Importance to the peo-
pie OF Orangeburg, Sumter and Lee
counties was had in Washington on
Monday afternoon before the House
tative Lever. in whose district the
three counties named lie. secured
the presence of Messrs. A. Bonsteel
and Frank Bennett, experts in soil
survey work in the department of
agriculture, in an effort to secure an
appropriation with which to carry
on work already commenced in those
counties.
Messrs. Bonsteel and Bennett, who
have been in South Carolina on fire.
quent occasions, and who have done
considerable work in Mr.. Levers s
District, demonstrated to the COM
mittee just what the soil in the coun-
ties named can produce under prop
er conditions anu how much the
farmers living in those counties
would be benefited by a continuation
of the demonstration work already
undertaken there.
Mr.. Lever believes that h will be
successful in securing an appropria-
ton with which to carry on the work.
1t will mean much to the farming
interests of all the counties in the
seventh district.

GIVEN GOOD TERMS.
Two ScoundreIs Sent to fhs Penl-
tentlary From Lexington.
For Twenty-Five Years Each For
Assaulting q Man and Attempting
Worst Crime ON q Woman.

WOrSt Cr1me ON woman.
At the term of the Lexington
Court last week the two negroes
who some months ago committed an
attrocious assault on Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckley. of that county, were tried
and convicted by Judge Wilson to
twenty-five years in the Penitentiary
One night the two negroes went to
thee ountry store kept by the Bick-
leys, and while one of them asked
Mr.. Buckley to come outside and
sell him some whiskey, the other
remained in the store, where Mrs.
Buckley also stayed. A gun was
fired and Mr.. Buckley was shot. At
the sound of the gun the negro inside
seized Mrs. Buckley and attempted a
horrible Grim e.
While his wife was In the clutches
of this brute, Mr.. Bickiey, wounded
and bleeding, staggered into the
store and reached for his shotgun In
the corner. The negro made his es-
cape, however. The alarm was given
and the two negroes were sought all
over that territory for days.
When hnally captured sentiment
against them was still high, but a
lynching was prevented At the
trial each negro denied any knowl-
edge of the presence of the other that
night and told a story quite different
from the evidence put up by the
State. Each Of them was indicted
on two counts. assault with intent to
kill Mr.. Buckley and assault with in
tent to ravish Mrs. Buckley, and both
were convicted on both counts.
Judge Wilson, in passing sentence.
congratulated the county OF Lexing-
ton that a lynching had been averted
under strong provocation and that
justice had been done, regardless Of
the fact brought out in the evidence
that the Bickleys themselves were
violators of the law in selling liquor.

Arrested, Yet But
WARRANT is ISSUED
For His Arrest, and Has Been Out
Two Weeks.-His Present Where
abOuts Is Unknown, But His At
tomey SCOTS Mt the Suggestion
That Farnum is n Fugitive From

Justice.
Where is j. s. Farnum?
Is he fugitive from justice?
Or is he out on a business trip?
Is he man of such unbusinesslike
methods that his employers do not
know where he is?
Is he aware that the dispensary
commission has had issued a warrant
charging him with conspiracy?
Has he seen no South Carolina
newspapers in the last few weeks.
has he received no statement from his
wife,, no notification from the An
heuser Busch Brewing company?
III he did know of the existence of
the warrant. then has he not treated
the commission with contempt i'm
evading service Of the warrant?
These are the questions propounded
alphabetically in the meeting of the
dispensary commission on Thursday
morning says The State.

culating as widely as F. s. Farnum

sued for him on the 10th day of

When the commission Thursday
resumed its Investigations, the case
of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing as
sociation was first on the docket 1t
had been stated that there would be a
bookkeeper from that concern who
would produce books of record. He
was not in evidence at 10 o'clock. At
1890 the commission was formally
convened.
Three times the marshall. in reg
ulsr court fashion. cried the name
of the defendant. No response.
Three times the name OF ]. s. Far
mum was called No responce. 1t
was reported that lawyer, the same
who had represented w. ID. Roy.
and others at former meeting, had
communicated with the Anheuser-
Busch association, to inquire If they
wished to be present to establish the
validity of their claim. This attor-
ney had not been advised to proceed
with the case.
With something of mock distress
dressed the commission:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:
We were hopeful, though not san
guine, that Mr.. Farnum would be
present on this occasion. But he is
not. However. / will assume the bur
den of proof in this case and will
establish by documentary evidence
that the plaintiff has no just claim
against the State"
Continuing, Col. Fielder said that
he wished to go just far enogh into
the matter to show that this Bud

one of the basest conspiracies on re-

day were Miss Lemmie Giddens and
Mr.. b. r. Giddens. both of Worth

Miss Gidden's father objected to
her receiving the attentions of GER
tain young man of the neighborhood.
He ordered his daughter to remain
in the house day and night. b. T.
Giddens, a third cousin, went to her
father. and offered to cooperate in
the plan to save her from the objec-

Young Giddens kept his part OF
the bargain so far as other men were
concerned, but he construed the
agreement literally in favor of him
self and married the girl.

which the claimants were notified to

books Of record and of expenses to
show that their claims were just and

Mr.. T. Moultrie Mordecai, attorney
