BAR MINORS FROM TRACKS
STEWARDS OF JOCKEY CLUB
RESTRICT BETTING.
No Wager of Less Than s. to Be
Accepted in Grandstand and
So in the Field.

NEW YORK, April 16.-The final de-
cision of the race track managers on the
question of popular betting was reached
Tuesday, when the managers of New
York race tracks settled on the terms
that will govern racing for the COM
eng year. The question under con-
sideration when the meeting assembled
in the rooms of the Jockey Club. in the
Windsor Arcade. was that of betting as
a general thing. This was the first de-
cision reached:
'At meeting of the stewards of the
Jockey Club and representatives of the
various racing associations held this aft
ernoon in the Windsor Arcade it was de-
cided that no minors should be permitted
upon any track except accompanied by
parents or guardians"
Of the Jockey Club considered general
matters concerning racing and agreed on
trial of the general conduct OF the
sport under the conditions that ruled a
year ago. The decision reached made
every concession to the Jockey Club.
which from its inception has taken the
stand that the Jockey Club did not rec
ogniZe betting AS a body the Jockey
Club still declines to recognize betting,
but the general promise Of the racing
organizations is that they will find means
to curb public betting.
Minimum Bets.
AS far as any statement could be OBJ
tanned from any Of the race track man
ayers the obligation entered into with
the Jockey Club relates to the control OF
the men who may conduct betting on the
several tracks under the Jockey Clubs
jurisdiction. In the matter of promiscu-
Gus betting it was settled that certain re-
strictons should be put on speculation for
the future. AS part of these StipulatiOns
it is provided that no bOokmaker or layer
who accepts a wager Of less than So shall
be permitted to conduct business or enter
the grand stand, and similar rule is
made to apply to any layer who may
accept wager of less than 81 in the field
stand.
The action of the race track managers
constitutes the first actual recognition OF
betting under the prevailing laws in New
York, but at the same time the ruling hits
at conditions with which the racegoing
public has been familiar for the last ten
years.
Queens County Club Conforms.
In the general arrangements for the rae
ing today. the opening Of the season, the
officials of the Queens County Jockey
Club have conformed with the wishes of
the race track managers.
The Queens County Jockey Club, OF
which p. J. Dwyer is president, is the
only racing association which is COM
mitted to a program for the entire meet
ing of twelve days. which will about
cover the term of actual doubt over the
legislation recommended by Gov. Hughes
If there should be any doubt at the end
of that period the next race meet fol-
lowing is that Of the Metropolitan Jockey
Club at Jamaica. also owned in the mann
by politicians and dependent upon the ac
ton of the present legislature.

1t is clear that no good to Dickin-

nomination Of Judge Rees. A man
who will violate his sacred oath will
violate any pledges or promises he
may make.
s. s. Smith has stood for the Re-
hpublicans Of this county for twenty
five years. He has fought with them
and for them, and his success means
that Dickinson county will have for
the first time in its history a repre-
sentative in the lower house OF con-
gress. Advices from other parts Of
the district indicate that the paid
notices for Rees are reaeting and that
the incincerity of that campaign is
recognized. As result, Mr.. Smith
is gaining in every county in the dis

him the majority, as it should, he
will without question receive the
nomination.
1t is up to Dickinson county Re-

Kansas bar and a powerful force In
politics, died suddenly of heart failure
shortly before 8 o'clock Sunday after

door with her, being in his usual good
spirits. When she returned she found
him dead.

The excitement occasloned by the
speech and placing the money on the
table was so great that, none Of the
reporters was able TO make any notes.

MR.. rAFT's PLATFORM.

In a speech in New York city, Mr..
Taft said that he really believed that
in cases of contempt the party charged
with contempt should have jury trial.
if the contempt alleged was committed
outside the presence of the court.
Mr.. Taft's platfor mdoes not say so.
Mr.. Taft, in that same speech, de-
clared himself in favor of having an
Injunction hearing in labor dispute
heard by some other Judge than the
one issuing the original order.
Mr.. Taft's platform does not say so.
Mr.. Taft declared himself in favor of
publicity of campaign contributions.
Mr.. Taft's platform does not say so.
Mr.. Taft's record on the bench,
where he heard several labor disputes,
is about the only thing his platform
endorses. That record is one of open
hostility to organized labor-and the
platform os hostile. Those who say
that Mr. Taft on the bench was merely
constituting the la was he found it can
not point out the law which says that
because a man carriers a union card
he can not refuse to work to the injury
of his fellows. Mr.. Taft jailed rail-
road enginere who refused to obey Mr..
Taft's order to perform work that
would be injurious to that engineers
fellows.
Organized labor ought to be thinking
of all these things. The union man
who lets his republican partisianship
lead him into voting against his inter
ests as a workingman has but one COM
petitor in the race for fool prize and
that competitor is the union man who
lets his democratic craftsmanship lead
him into voting against his interests
as workingman.
Think, Study. Investigate!
An ignorant ballot is menace, espe-
cially in the hands of a workingman.
In his name it may menace his fellows
without benefitting his friends.
