PROHIBITION RALLIES
Briefest Statement of the Party Meet
ings Held in Many States

ings Held in Many States
Readers of The National Pyohibitionist
have doubtless noticed the growing rec
ord of public meetings held during the
campaign just closed. Probably less than
one-tenth of those actually held have
been reported. There could hardly be
more cheering or more profitable matter
to go in a newspaper. They have indi-
Gated the things DONE They chronicle
the successes of the Prohibition move
ment. They show that the work is
mounting on greater heights of dignity
and power. If every point where the
people have followed the counsels of this
paper and held meetings could be known,
the party would have list of the points
where gains have been made in the Pro-
hibition vote. A constituency which
reads the Prohibition press and then pro-
ceeds to do things, is seat of growing
power.
The meetings held by Prohibitionists
all over the country have been marvel
to all who have known the facts. The
National ProhibitioniSt has made vigor-
Gus effort to chronicle them all, but these
y,
executive power have come literally in
showers, far beyond the ability of the pa
per to find room for them, although
every effort in the way of condensing
them and allotting extra space was made.
There are in the news editors hands
at this writing accounts of many meet
ings held in nearly every state in the
union-meetings just as cheering as any
that have been published, meetings that
ought to have been put before the people,
if only the space could have been found
for them. 1t is proposed now to tabulate
and condense all meetings reported up to
the time of going to press, in the follow
ing list:

Thomas r. Shcer Praises Jockey
CTub-Dr. LQidEa.C BeHttles 1t.

The Rev. Thomas r. Sicer, in interview pub
lished yesterday on the betting situation in New
York State. heartily commended the efforts Of the
Jockey Club TO carry out the terms agreed upon
between Il and the Ministerial Association, which,
he said, had resulted in practically forcing the
poolrooms ont OF business He refused 70 com
rnent the Agnew-HaFt bills saying that the
proposed legislation outside Of the work he
had in hand.
In regard 70 the Jockey Club. however he said
his reports showed that from the middle of April
10 the middle Of November the poolTooms enjoyed
only thrty-two hours OF uninterrupted service. At
all other times during this period, he said, their
reports were demoralized 10 such extent that
they were una ole to do business
4 hold brief he added. for the regulation
If a common vice against The effort to prohibit,
when that effort cannot possibly be successful.
Ny efforts have been directed toward stultifyIlg
the pooroOms, because their influence IS iemoraIz-
ing and degrading. There be comparison
between the man who goes to a racetrack and the
man who fraquants a poolroom. Admitting that
bota bet the one does so under decent supervision
and under physically healthfuI surroundings. The
other Is gambler pure and simple. Furthermore
believe that for one man who goes to the race
track there are six who would bet in poolrooms
were they able tc secure the necessary details of
the races
There are two classes Of refo.mers. and they
are trying along different lines TO achieve the same
results One body In Its efforts to suppress COM
mon vices tries up things by the roots and
their work has beel ineffective To the hest OF
my Judgment regulation is the best thing at this
time
Dr " alter Laidlaw, chairman of the co-operst-
ing committees of the anti-racetrack gambling
campaign, said last night he had received word
from Albany that the Agnew-Hart racing bills
would surely pass
The light over the bills will be only in commit
tee, said DR. Latdlaw. and the constituency Of
the committeeman is watching every move that is
made The fear OF the Jockey Club is shown bv
the fact that ii has thought necessary to retain
an Ex-Governor of the State bolster up its case
! can hardly credit the rumor that Ex-Governor
Black has consented to lend his abilities TO de-
feating legislation commanded by the constitution
of the state. When he himself was Governor he
swore 10 support the constitution of state; is
he now going TO attempt thwart the fidelity of
the present Governor?
Mr. keene. in opposing the Agnew-Hart bills
dropped into theology and stated that only the
Almighty could make q good man and that il
was impertnent for endeavor TO assist by
taking the gambling temptation from his path.
But was not Mr.. keene a little deistic in stating
that the Almighty cannot produce satisfactory
horses unless a bunch Of booknakers is present
every race, eighty least of the class who pay
to the exchequers Of the Jockey Club the largest
contribution for the right fleece their fellows?"

The trouble occurred in the Raymond street jail
on Tuesday afternoon, when Robinson called to see
Giuseppe Farnarro, one of the two men held on

tanned fer Farnarro by relative, but Farnarro
apparently did not know 1t. The lawyer found his
client undergoing examination at the hands of
Assistant District Attorney Carrao and Lieutenant
Eachrs. Robinson explained that he had been re-
tanned to represent Farnarro- Nachris turned u
the prisoner and asked him If he had retained
Robinson. He had not and said Fachris re-
fused TO permit Robinson to talk 10 his client.
Hot words followed and then blows. According
to Robinson Vachris hit him Half dozen blows
and knocked him into chair, and kept up the
work until Warden Mclaughlin stepped in and
separated them. Vachris says that Robinson struck
the first blow. The detective promised TO appear In
court this morning to answer the charge against

SPECIAL MESSAGE ON NIGHT RIDERS. i"
Governor Says Third of State Is Affected by
Condition of Anarchy-Asks S25, 900.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb Ex-Governor Wilson sent a
long message to the Legislature to-day urging
prompt legislation against the night riders and
renewing many former recommendations.
After denouncing the rule of terror, the mes
sage pointed to the fact that the prosecuting Off
GERS have indicted only one man and convicted or
punished no one for these crimes, and recon-
uended an immediate appropriation of $4,000 TO
assist in prosecuting the night riders"
The Governor noted that the use OF the militia
had already cost $1,000 said that condition of
anarchy prevailed in nearly a third of the state
and appealed for additional power for the Attorney
General in cases where it appears that the local
authorities ARE likely TO fail from any cause TO
prosecute such offenses faithfully
