The National Trottipg Association :,
of which the Bridgeton Driving Asso-
citation is member, has struck blow
to padding entry lists, In the change
adopted compelling race track associa-
tions to send to horsemen making en-
tries to all stakes and purses a CORE ct
list of horses actually entered In the
forthcoming races at least IS days
previous to the date of the races. The
intention and purpose of this rule is TO
give the entrants a correct idea as to
what horses are to compete In the race
and not allow race associations to send
out padded entry list as is the GUS
tom now
Besides the changes mentioned,
several others were made In the rules.
A change to rule adds fine to the
possible penalties OF expulsion and
suspension that may be imposed for
false entries and permits. entries to
be made by mail. the letter to bear q
post mark not later than II q. m. OF
the day following the closing of the
entries, and In case q race is not filled
and the association member fails to
notify the uominators to the race
within limit time of 70 hours he js
liable to fine, suspension or expulsion.
The rule of entries is changed, re-
quiring in all purse events three
entries and two starters, unless other
wise specified. Formerly the rule had
it five entries and three starters

BOTH PARTIES EXPECTED TO HELP DEEP WATERWAYS

Washington, June 10.-With the adj
journment of congress, interest in the
rapidly crystalizing movement for the
development of the waterways of the
country, for which the National Rivers
and Harbors congress enthusiastically
stands, is temporarily transferred from
the seat of national legislation to the
coming conventions of the two great
political parties.
Senator Francis G. Newlands. who
Las taken commanding position in
behalf of systematic appropriations on
the part of the federal government

assumes that the movement which
reached such height last year, when
President Roosevelt made his now
justly famous trip to Memphis, will

platforms will declare for the conser
vation of the natural resources of the
country by the exercise of both ma

that all these. developments will dove
tail into complete water system,
the Mississippi and the Great Lakes.
And the fourth great project will
comprise the Pacifis coast waterways,
including the Sacramento, the San
Joaquin, the Snake and other rivers
in which they empty.
''In my judgment an administrative
or service board of experts consist
ing of the officers of the engineer
corps, heads of the various scientific
bureaus of the government, with civil
experts and engineers, should be or
ganized and given large powers not
only for investigation, but for actual
work. And a large fund should be

be provided for by authorized bond

Otte Huber introduces Strong
Iy Worded Resolution on
the Subject.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 10.-The
United States Brewers association to-
day adopted a Set of resolutions de.
claring sympathy for and cooperation
with any movement looking to the pro-
motion of habits of temperance in the
use of fermented beverages.
Neither Abuse Nor Disuse.
They define temperance as neither
abuse nor disuse and declare that the
temperate use of beer promotes health
and happiness. The passage and en-
forcement of laws for the regulation
of drink traffic and keeping such traf-
fic free from unlawful and improper
accessories by doing away with low
class saloons is strongly favored.
Ask Public to Help.
Existing evils however. the reso-
lutions say, ''can be eradicated by
action on the part of individuals in
trade only if they are aided and sup
ported by public sentiment and suita-
bic laws which will make il impossi-
bic for the small number who may not
wish to abide by the concerted action
of the majority of the trade to make
such action futile Brewers are ready
and anxious to do their share to CO.
operate to the extent of their power
in the work of eliminating abuses
connected with the retail trade"
DO Not Aid LawIessness.
That brewers and commercial inter-
ests are served by encouraging or con;
niving at lawlessness or that they are
iii politics for the purpose of infiuenc-
/ ing legislation TO protect the disorder
iy saloon, is most emphatically denied.
Hear Two Addresses.
Milwaukee, June 10.-Last evening
was devoted by the brewers to ad-
dresses, the principal one being by
Arthur Brisbane of New York and E.
j. Giddinss of Oklahoma. Giddings
was for open war on the prohibition
lists. but Brisbane declared there were
two sides to the question, and told the
brewers they should clear the question
about resorts. He declared prohibition
was not only not feasible. but not pos
sible, but that prohibitionists should
be argued with as brothers, and not as
lwild-eyed anarchists.
