Ardmore is one of the most cosmo-

GAMBLING BILLS
CERTAIN TO PASS
AT. ALBANY
McCarren Amendment Will Be
Eliminated
FIGHT WILL BE IN Sc NATE
Gov. Hughes viii Insist That Bill Be
Drawn Ito Take Effect
Immediately"
FIGHT WILL BE IN Sc NATE

Albany March 16.-The critical mo-
ment is apparently at hand for the
bills intended to abolish gambling in
connection with horse races in this
state, which We're introduced in the
Senate by Senator George B. Agnew
of the Seventeenth district of New
York city and in the Assembly by AS
semblyman Merwin X Hart of the
first district of Oneida county, to EN-
body the recommendation of Governor
Hughes in his annual message to the
legislature. 1t is regarded as practical
ily certain now that the bills will pass
the Assen Ny without difficulty, prob
ably some day next week. They have
still to go through the stages of sec
ond and third reading in that House.
Whatever there is to be of real strug-
gle over the proposed legislation is
now expected to take place in the Sen
ate. II is, however the general belief
that the opposition of Senator McCar.
rem and his allies in this matter will
be futile: that the amendment defer
ring the taking effect of the bill until
September |. which was made last
week by the Senate codes committee
will be eliminated, and that, after per
haps day of debate. the Senate will
pass the measures in the form in which
they are desired by the introducers
and by Governor Hughes.
The governor has made no secret oil
his opposition to the postponement OF
the date taking effect. His attitude
is that the present statutory dscrimi
nation which makes gambling at race
tracks subject only to the recovery oil
the amount wagered in a civil suit
while it is a felony everywhere in the
state outside of a race track enclos
ure. is deliberate evasion of the will
of the people as declared in the state
constitution, and that there is no goot
reason for deferring obedience there
to- He has left 1t beyond Q doubt thai
he will insist that any bills on this
subject, to meet his approval, must b,
drawn so as to take effect immediate
lly."

AUSTRALIANS PLEASED
Already Planning Big Reception for
Evans Fleet.

Melbourne, March 16--The Austral-
ian commonwealth; officially and gen
orally, halls with pleasure the an
nouncement from Washington that the
American battleship fleet will visit the
Ahtipodes next July or August. The
federal ministers are delighted with
the idea of such visit, the minister
Of defense, Thomas Ewing, declaring
that the presence of Americas fleet
would be most gratifying to all Aus
tralians. I'VE feel that our future in
the Pacific" he said, lis bound up with
that of the United States"
Australians of all classes, indeed.
have decided liking and admiration
for Americans due to sentimental,
commercial and even political causes.
Aside from the cardinal consideration
that the commemorative whole scheme
of government is patterned after that
of the United States, there are strong
commercial and other ties between the
two countries.
While plans are not yet made, 1t can
be said that the functions and pleas
ures in Sydney will be rather more on
the naval side than those here will be.
Sydney is fond of jack tars and the
American sailormenwill not have cause
to complain of their stay. Melbourne's
round of enjoyments will be somewhat
more circumscribed, but this city is
still the federal capital and Melbourne
In the season is one of the gayest OF
places. 1t is more than probable that
here will be plenty Of sports and they

life-will play an important part In

MURDERER MAKES
AN ATTEMPT TO
BREAK JAIL
Anarchist Slayer of Father Helm
richs in Desperate Dash
SLASHES TRUSTY WITH RAZOR
italian Who Came to Denver With
Ala Believed to Have Furnished
Weapon.

Denver, Col, March l6-Since his
attempt to escape, Giuseppe Ala, the
condemned murderer of Father Leo
Heinrichs, has been placed under ad-
ditional guards. Ala made use of a
razor blade with which he slashed the
neck of ''trusty" who was cleaning
his cell, and made dash to get away.
The "trusty" despite his cut, rushed
after ALA, whom he quickly overpow-
Iered with the help of Deputy Warden
Corpen.
The "trusty' has a wound two and
one-half inches long in his neck, but
as the jugular vein is not severed he
will recover.
When returned to Jail after his con.
yiction Thursday. Ala was stripped OF
everything and a complete new outfit
was given except new socks. These
were turned inside out, examined and
returned to him. ALA was then placed
in the cell for the condemned which
had been thoroughly swept, cleaned
and supplied with new bedding. This
cell has been occupied by an Italian
named Benati, who accompanied ALA
from New York to Denver and has
been held since the assassination OF
Father Leo as suspect and possible
witness.
After Alias conviction Bernati was
removed to another part of the Jail and
the cell he occupied was then made
ready for the condemned man. Der
natl was released from Jail last might
and as he passed Alias cell he spoke
to ALA in Italian. 1t is surmised thai

Mass Meetings Today, It Is Thought
viii End Difficulty.

Montpelier, March 16.-While moth
ing is made public in regard to the
meeting at Barre Saturday evening
of committees from the granite cut
tiers and the manufacturers, the feeling
is prevalent that the strike that has
been on for two weeks is near its end.
The meeting of these two committees
was the first that has been held since
the strike was declared as each side
had been waiting for the other TO make
the first move.
II is said that at this conference all
the points in dispute between the men
and their employers were again taken
up in detail and were discussed with
good feeling on both sides. 1t Is also
said that new propositions for settle
ment were made and discussed.
The cutters, quarrymen and manu-
facturers held mass meetings at Barre
this morning and the hope and belief
prevails in both cities that the strike
| will very soon be thing of the past.

A RELIABLE SPRING MEDICINE
Recommended to the People Of Ben
nngton.

At this season of the year there is
hardly man, woman or child in Ben
nington who does not need a medicine
to purify and enrich the blood, to in
duce an appetite, to promote digestion
and create strength and we are safe
III saying we have never sold anything
in our store equal to the cod liver prep
aration Vinol for this purpose.
The reason Vinol is so far superior
to old-fashioned cod liver oil and emul-
sions is because it is made by scien.
tific, extractive and concentrating pro.
cess from fresh Gods livers, combining
with peptonate of iron all the medic
inal, healing and body building elem.
ents of cod liver oil but no oil.
AS a spring medicine and body
builder and strength creator for old
people. delicate children, weak, run
down persons, and after sickness vi.
mol is unexcelled, and you know what
you are taking.
Mrs. Rose Lavigne, of Burlington
VT, writes: "Vinol is the best spring
medicine | have ever used: it creates
an appetite, purifies the blood and
takes away all feeling of lassitude."
We could go on quoting from hun
dreds of such letters. but simply ash
the people of Bennington to try Vinol
this spring on our guarantee to return
money if they are not benefited. w.

TROY TO PiTTSFiELD
Work on New Trolley Road to be Be
gun at Once.

Construction of portion of the pro
posed trolley line between Troy and
Pittsfield, Mass, will probably be in
augurated this week Already the
Pittsfield Street railway system has ex-
tended its lines three miles westward
and will within a short time complete
the seven mile stretch TO the state
line. While this work Is going on the
Troy, Rensselaer, and Pittsfield inter
ests will undertake to lay tracks from
Lebanon Springs to Brainard Station.
The entire route has been surveyed
and there is strong probability that
the line may be completed this sum-
mer. 1t was authoritatively stated
yesterday that the recent stringency in
the money market could have little eff
feet on the plans of the road The line
Is we'll financed, 1t was stated, and
once the work is started there will be
plenty of capital forthcoming to rush
the work 10 completion. The Pittsfield
people and the Albany and Hudson raj.
road are in accord with the plans OF
the company and already the Albany
and Hudson is planning to raise funds
| for the double tracking of its line to
Electric Park. II is also reported thai
the residents along the proposed line
are heartily in favor of the road and
are anxiously waiting for its compile
| ton.
As soon as the stretches between
Pittsfeld and the state line and Leb
anon Springs and Brainard Station are
completed the work on the remainder
| OF the line will be started. The line
will connect with the Albany and Hud
son near East Schodack. From there
the Pittsfield cars will come into Al
bany over the tracks OF the third rail
system. Although all the plans of the
company have been prepared, nothing
has been made public in regard to ter
minals or branch to Troy.
At Brainard Station the line will
connect with the Rutland railroad
which connects Chatham with Ben
nington. BY steam road at present
the distance between Pittsfield and
Lebanon Springs is 43 miles, but the
proposed trolley road will be only 10
miles long. There will be similar
saving of distance and also of time be-
tween Albany and Brainard Station
and also Pittsfeld
The principal object of the trolley
promoters in building the line is to
open the beautiful Lebanon valley.
This region has been practically mac
cessible to Trojans and Albanians and
thus little known and little apprecia-
ted. A few months after the opening
of the road one of the best known
summer resorts will undoubtedly be
found nesting in the Berkshires. The
promoters feel that the delightful cli-
mate, the beautiful scenery and fam
GUS springs will call visitors from all
parts of the country.
Randall j. lie Boeuf, the attorney
for the road with Raymond H. Smith
general manager of the Albany and
Hudson railroad, visited Pittsfeld a
few days ago and conferred with the
officials of the Pittsfield line. A por-
ton of the proposed route follows
along the state road over Lebanon
mountain, and will pass through the
following townships East Nassau,
Brainard, West Lebanon, New Leban-
onfi. Lebanon Springs and Hancock.

Lumber Business Held Up.

Stowe, March 14.-Plans are being
made for tapping an unusually large
number of sugar trees this season.
Only few trees have been tapped as
yet, but these have run well. Much
new apparatus has been purchased by
sugar makers.
The warm weather has brought the
lumber business practically to stand
still leaving several million feet of tim

Last night about ten O'Clock there
was a thunder storm accompanied by

IRON ORE BUSINESS LIGHT
Opening Of Navigation on Great Lakes
May Be Retarded.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 16.--In view
OF prospective light business in the
iron ore carrying trade on the Great
Lakes, this summer, 1t is said In mar
inc circles that an effort will be made
to retard the general opening of navi-
gation until near the latter part Of
June. This will be done to prevent II
possible the cutting Of races for haul
ing ore. The curailment of business
brought about by the panic last Octo-
Der left most of the blast furnaces with
large stock of ore on hand and for
this reason it is thought not 80 much
ore will be required this year.
