PROTEST OF PEOPLE
 AGAINST GAMBLING
Great Crowds Parade Streets of Brooklyn and Pay Personal Tribute to Governor Hughes Who Speaks the Throng Upon His Efforts to Secure the Repeal of the
 Present Racing Law of New York State

New York, April 19.-A remarkable dem onstration against race track gambling that at times assumed the form of per sonal tribute to Governor Hughes was made in Brooklyn today. The demonstra- tion began in the streets leading to the Bedford branch of the Y. M. C. A, where the governor was announced to address an,anti-race track gambling meeting and attended the speaker from his carriage to the platform of the spacious hall.
 The mass meeting was a non-sectarian affair. for men, called, as the chairman, the Rev. John F. Carson of the Centrsl Presbyterian church, explained, with the object of impressng upon some of otr representatives in the legislature the ne- cessity of their changing their views re- garding race track gambling and he added, ..and if they do not change thoir views we will see to it that we change the men,"

HE MONTGOMERY PRETzELS
 PASS THROUGH BIRMINGHAM

James Ryan and his aggregation of Montgomery Pretzels were in Birmingham for a few minutes last night.
 The Pretzels were en route to Nashville, where they play four games this week with Bill Bernhards Volunteers.
 ''I am still of the opinion that my team is as good as any other in the league, ' stated the veteran leader last night, and am confident of winning a fair proportion of the games against Nashville. My best men are in excellent condition, save for the trouble with Third Baseman Gremin- gers ankle"
 Although Ryan's men beat the Barons three straights last week, the Pretzels' manager does not underestimate the strength of the locals. There is no doubt said he, "but that Birmingham m will be in the running. Vaughn has a very valuable team

 ID TAKE ACTION Bills For Campaign Fund Pub Iicity Will Be Presented TO PREVENT CORRUPTION Senator cuIberson Will Present Meas ure in the Senate and Representa-

 Similar Bill In House.
TO PREVENT CORRUPTION

Washington April 19.-Congress is urged to act on legislation requiring the pub licity of campaign funds in a petition which will be presented to the Senate tomorrow by Senator Culberson of Texas and to the House by Representative Me Gall of Massachusetts. The petition is signed by a committee of the National Publicity association, and is accompanied by letters from numerous members of the organization. The petition says:
 "The National Publicity organization re- spectfully asks Congress to enact at the present session d suitable law for the publicity both before and after election of campaign contributions made to na- tional committees to be used in the elec- ton of November g. 19OS
 "The association has limited the scope of it's efforts to securing publicity of contributions made by national commit tees and congressional committees formed to influence in more than one state cleo tions where members of the national headquarters are to be chosen; and to promote by all appropriate means state Legislation designed to accomplish in every state the same purpose of publicity.
 Tt is thought that the wisest method of preventing election corruption through money contributions will be not through national laws alone nor through state laws alone, but through both methods; each -to-operating and not conflicting with the other, and both making the best and most effective system There cannot be any doubt of the power of Congress to do what we propose, nor any doubt about the power of the state to provide the additional regulations de- sired.
 "rhe national publicity bill organization is non-partisan and hopes that the efforts to secure the beneficial laws so much needed will not be involved in the con troversies of political parties. But 1t IS impossible to overlook the fact that the present minority party will impose upon the majority party the weighty respon- sibility for the failure of legislation, IT such failure shall ensue. To avoid such a deplorable case should not the mem bers of both parties unite in postponing all propositions on which there may be a sincere division of sentiment, and Tn passage through Congress without TUT ther delay a bill upon which all cor dially agree.'

 Within the hall there was a second out burst, the audience first cheering and thon rising and singing "The Star Spangled Banner"

 Many of his remarks were delivered in a semi humorous spirit, and he kept his audience in good humor throughout.
 The audience then adopted resolutions, denouncing the Percy Gray law, which makes race track gambling possible.

PRINCE DE SAGAN
 DODGES REPORTERS
THE SUlToR OF MADAME COULD LANDS IN FRANCE AND STARTS TO PARIS IN AN AUTOMOBILE AFTER LEAVING TRAIN.

Paris, April l9.-Prince Helie De Sagan, Who arrived sat Cherbourg and dsem- parked early this morning from the steamship St. Paul, essayed to resume the secrecy which he unsuccessfully sought to carry out in the United States. Instead of coming direct to Paris he left the steamer train at Evereaux, about 65 miles from the city, after having re- quested his fellow-passengers not to men ton his plan. At Evereaux ne resumed his journey to Paris by automobile.
 The prince declined to grant an inter- view to the newspaper men who finally discovered him and refused to answer questions relative to the statement pub lished by the Cri De Paris that he and Madame Anna Gould were already mar ried
 The passengers on the steamer, with whom the prince freely intermingled dur ing the voyage, say that he told them that he regretted he could not entertain them in Paris as he expected soon to leave that city going. probably, to Italy Some of the passengers added that the prince did not act like a married or en- gagged man, being devoted to young English girl throughout the voyage.
 The French newspapers generally ignore the De Sagan-Gould affair, except where they ridicue the prince on account of his reported interviews and his conduct in the United States and express the hope that ''the international farce" will soon be ended.
