TRAGEDYIN DAYLIGHT
THIEVES MURDER AND ROB
ACTOR AND ESCAPE.

NEW YORK, June 13-While a dozen
terrorized men and women looked on
from the windows of surrounding houses
in West 22d street two highwaymen yes
treday beat to death and robbed a man
believed to be Albert Crosby of Boston.
Crosby was an actor and had been play
ing in THE Road to Yesterday" He was
still breathing when witnesses of the
tragedy ran up to him after the robbers
had fed but he died in a hospital while
the surgeons were preparing to trephine
his shattered skull.
According to stories Of eyewitnesses.
the victim Of the assault was sauntering
slowly down the street when two men
who had been walking behind him sprang
upon him. One of them seized him by
the throat. and while he he'd him the
other struck Crosby crushing blow on
the forehead with a blackjack.
Then. as the man continued to strug
gle in an effort to free himself. the man
with the blackjack struck him a second
blow Crosby fell to the sidewalk UNI
conscious. AS he lay there the robbers
rifled his pockets and fled before an
alarm had been given.
An ambulance was called. but Crosby
lived only a few minutes after reaching
the hospital. The dead man was about
thirty-five years old.

WOULD CLOSE TRACKS
THREAT LATEST PHASE OF THE
RACING SITUATION.

NEW YORK. June 13.-The racing sit
uation assumed an entirely new phase to-
day. when Assistant District Attorney
Elder of Brooklyn came out with an open
threat to close the tracks and force the
discontinuance of the racing unless eff
mediately discontinued. Mr.. Elder said
that despite the assurances made to him
yesterday by the race track officials and
the special policemen at the track he 10
confident there was no sincerity in those
assurances.
IF the law is not lived up to. both in
letter and in spirit said he, 'the police
will raid the track and close it up just as
they would any common gambling place.
We have authority to do this. and for
precedent can refer to the case of Delan-
cey VS.. Flood, which was passed upon
oy the court of appeals"
Open Conflict Feared.
Nearly every indication today pointed
to open conflict between the authorities
and those who favor betting on the
horses. Deputy Police Commissioner
Baker expressed himself fully as deter
mined as Mr.. Elder to see that the law
is enforced to the letter. When he went
down to Gravesend this afternoon he was
at the head of about $50 patrolmen. and
he declared that he and his men meant
business.
Assistant District Attorney Elder in tell
ing of his determination to stop racing
entirely if that became necessary TO OBJ
tain enforcement of the law said be be-
came convinced soon after his arrival al
the track yesterday that there was little
sympathy there for the anti-betting law
I'VE were assured by the track officials
and the Pinkerton detectives that We
would be given every assistance in en-
forcing the law, said Mr.. Elder, but the
persistent Efforts of every one at the
track TO get down a bet convinced me
that there was little sympathy with the
law or a desire to see il enforced. Down
in the betting ring | even heard Pink
erton man telling a group of bookmakets
to go carefully and not spoil the game.

Morrow Blames Congress
Il have also invited his attention to the
fact that the pavements Of Washington
will compare faporably with those OF any
other city, and that the reason that some
of the older pavements arc not In good
condition is that they have outlived their
usefulness and should have been repaired
years ago, but owing to the parsiunonious
action of Congress In refusing to appro-
pirate the sums asked by the Conmls-
sioners. for resurfacing. it has been I'm
possible to improve their condition
The life OF an asphalt pavement Is
about twenty years The period Wnen
most of our asphalt paveunents were laid

have been granted. In the recently en-
acted appropriation bill the Commission
ers' estimates were reduced by 100000

ing these pavements Is progressing rapid
