RIGHT TO REGULATE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

The three judges of the minority were represent
ed by concurrent dissenting opinions written by
Judges r. \. johnson and Wright They held that
the Legislature had taken only another step within
its constitutional right of regulating the liquor traf
c that it had provided for the sale under certain
conditions of liquor for mechanical, medicinal
and sacramental' purposes Judge Comstock, how
ever. had met this in his opinion by saying:
These only the occasional and incidental
of the article. 1t is the general and primary
which is aimed at. 1t is the mass of property
which is struck down. and the possible conserva-
ton of extremely insignificant portion cannot
change the character of the law

their platforms they predicted that New York as

The pen of a romance writer could ask for no
more interesting theme than that contained in the
career Of Charles Francyn Reglid whose death has
just occurred in this city. His father butcher
in Brooklyn, who afterward kept a saloon in New
York. The son went upon the stage. and in order
to have name appropriate to his calling spelled
his humble patronymic of Dilger backward. AT the
age of thirty-two he succumbed to the venerable
charms of woman of more than twice his years,
connected with leading families. and after mar
riage became well known in social circles to which
butchers boy could hardly aspire under any ordi-
nary conditions. At the death of his wife he in
herited her fortune and maintained his place
among his associates and became the hacker of
theatrical enterprises with which his stage train
ing put him in thorough sympathy.

That Governor Charles E. Hughes should
make a recommendation that booknaking and
poolselIing at racetracks be prohibited as
felony the feature of his recent message 70 the
Legislature is proof positive that there is a
strong element at work in the state against TINS
denartnnent of thoroughbred racing. There have
been attempts to eliminate racetrack gambling
I'm previous years. but they have been hai1-
hearted and unsystematc, and almost compete
failures.

A CLERGYMAN TAKES L HAND.

The Rev Thomas r. Scer obtained an agree
ment with the stewards OF the Jockey Cluo' the
controllers of racing in New York State lhiS
agreement was that the various ASSOCIATIONS
should do all in their power to prevent inIor-
nation being supplied to the poolroonS- 1his
was 2 radical move. Previously Telegraph
operator seated near the finish could nash the
results of the races to the pooirooms an over
the country. With the making of the agree
ment this was impossible. The poolroom teie-
graph service was soon crippled. 1t meant an
immense loss to the telegraph companies put
+bev had to grin and bear il. 1t was held that
a racetrack was private property ana that
telegraph company had no legal right to set up
IT'S instruments inside the fences without per-
mission.

didn't get the privilege. II Mr. DIS de-

outside the tracks and men with powerful

after it had served one day of usefulness. anu
others had their views shut off by screens Then
the heliograph was brought into play. but 1t
was not success. Rooms were hired IN houses
overlooking the tracks, but they failed 10 serve
their purpose. The poOlrOOms have had hard
fight and they certainly haven't had the best
