THE SHERIFF REPLIES.
Says He Endeavorcd to Enforce Anti
Gambling Race Track Law.

Albany, N Y Aug. 1s.-Attorneys
for John Bradley. jr.. sheriff of Sara
toga county, has filed with Governor
Hughes the sheriff's reply to charges
that he had failed to enforce the anti
gambling law at the Saratoga race
track.
The charges were preferred by Wal
ter Laidlow. chairman of an organiza-
ton of citizens known as the antirace
track gambling campaign committee.
The committee alleges that through
the present racing season public bet
ting had been openly conducted with
out interference by the sheriff and his
deputies.
Sheriff Bradley's defense is gen
eral denial of the charges and he sets
forth that he enforced the law as he
understands ii to the best of his IN
formation and ability. He has been
advised by counsel, he says that he can
not make arrests for a violation of
section 351 of the penal code. except
when the offense is committed in his
presence, unless a warrant has been
placed in his hands for service.
No such warrant has been given to
MIN, he adds, nor has violation of
the law been committed in his pres
ence, or. so far as he has been able
to learn. in the presence of his depu-
ties.
Attached TO and made a part of the
reply is the written opinion of Senator
Edgar T. Bracket of Saratoga, along
whose advice the sheriff has shape his
course. In his opinion. Senator
Bracket reviews the antirace track
gambling law pointing out that it is
the sheriff's duty to arrest any person
violating the specific provisions of the
statute. The attorney says:

Construction.


Guthrie, Ok, Aug. 18.-A change in
the route of the Choctaw Northern
railroad, a subsidiary line of the Rock
Island, is contemplated by the COM
pany, and contractors are busy going
over the proposed line, which includes
the taking up of the track north from
Homestead, in Blaine county, to the
Cimarron river crossing, distance of
fifteen to twenty miles, and relaying ii
into Fairview, Major county. A new
country will be tapped, and the
Cimarron river crossing, always a cost
ly one, avoided.
Orient officials in Oklahoma are
pre- dicting that trains over that line
between Kansas City and Chillicothe.

Whyte is universally liked by the men
of the road. On numerous occasions
he has taken their part, and has al
ways won their respect by his fair
play. They believe that "Bin'' whyte
is on the level. When the strike
started Mr.. Whyte was in Vancouver,
but he Immediately started for Win
nipeg in order to be in the center of
the fight. One of his first moves was
to issue statement which put the
men right on one point, that of the
importation of strike breakers from
the United States. This report has
been generally circulated and was
creating no end of trouble and discord
among the strikers. AS soon as Mr.

Whyte's statement was issued denying
the report, the men generally took his
word for it and ceased harning on this
unpopular phase of the situation. At
fairs at the present time are at a dead
lock. Almost every day some sympa-
thetic union. which il not directly
allied with the strikers. but which is
in sympathy, walks out, as for m

headquarters in Montreal that he had
vacancies for 1000 mechanics. and
wanted them forwarded at once if pos
sible.
The question on every mans lips is,
will William Whyte be able to make
good on some compromise which will
appeal to both employer and emproye.
What the result will eventually be
can not be determined. but Whatever
it's outcome, Mr.. Whyte will be back
of it directing his policy.

of his contemporaries. He thinks tnat

would like to see would be revival OF
activity in the industrial and mercan-

occurred. and thus far he can see no
unmistakable signs Of its Immediate
