Closing in on the Race Gamblers.

signs accumulate TO prove the steady
sprSad of sentiment in behalf of the SUD-
preston OF race-track gambling through
out the country. Prohibitory laws have
been passed recently in the District and
the state of New York, and such a law is
now IN process of enactment in Louis
lana. In Denver court has just ruled
that race-track betting is gambling in the
eye Of the state law prohibiting such a
practice, and has thus for the time put
the institution under the ban In that
commonwealth. a dispatch from Licking
Ton, Ky, just received is as follows:

Business men throughout the United

Immediately after the enactment of the

that the raCe-track gamblers, driven out

Coroners' InQuests.

There is a dispute just at present be-

fact. often commented upon. that the in

date. young woman shot and killed a
physician in that city few days ako in
circumstances which left no possible
question as To her motive and all the
facts OF the crime. There were eyew.t-
MISSES and the slayer admitted the act.
Nevertheless. under the somewhat archaic
laws relating To homicide. an inquest was
held and The girl was remanded for ac-
ten by the grand jury. Meanwhile the
district attorney, possibly with the idea

show speed on occasion. took the in
- alive without waiting for the coroner s
verdict. and the grand jury returned an
Indictment before the jury had formu-
latsd its findings. Now the coroner
wants TO know why this should be. being
a man inclined to stand upon the dignity
of his office

petence or indifference to the laws Of
safety the inquest serves useful pur-
pose in collating the evidence while the
circumstances are fresh in the minds of
men and while the physical facts remain
unchanged to testify to the conditions
and degrees Of responsibility. But even
when the coroner's jury in such cases
has rendered it's verdict the grand jury
proceeds independently. and often ignores
the findings returned by the coroner and
of a homicide what the grand jury chiefly
needs is the testimony of medical off,
Ger of the court relative to the exact
cause of death. and of the police regard

The coroner as the medical officer of
the court. occupies an important position.
and is valuable adjunct to the process
OF ascertaining guilt and administering
punishment but his usefulness is virtual
ly at an end when he has ascertained the
physical condition in cases of death by
violence or inquired into suspicious cir
surrounding deaths. without
the attendance of physicians His report
to the court through the district attorney
should be the full measure of his activ-

the continuation of the coroner's inquest
as the first step of investigation is that
