MAY ABOLISH
HORSE RACING
Attempt May Be Made to Do
Away With Every Form
of Betting.

New orleans, May "A campaign to
abolish horse racing in Louisiana. backed
by some of the wealthiest and most in
fluentiaI residents of the state, will be
launched before the legislature, which will
meet at Baton Rouge one week from next
Monday. The attempt will be made to
suppress absolutely every form of bet
ting at racing tracks, and it is expected
that this will result in the permanent
closing of the tracks.
No suggestion of what opposition the
racing interests will make has yet become
public. Those who claim to be friends
of the sOprt without financial interest
therein, have proposed a state racing
commission as an alternative for the COM
plete closing of the tracks.
The avowed opponents of race track
gambling in any form include to date
most of the newspapers of the state and
several hundred influential citizens. The
states political leaders of both parties
have declared strongly against race track
gambling, but without indicating in all
cases what the remedy shall be.
Govenor-eiect Sanders made race track
gambling a feature of the recent cam
paign and his message is awaited with
interest The Democratic state central
committee recently recommended sup
preston of the vice of gambling in all
its forms"

about this time repeatedly risked their

shrieking for help. Ladders and life nets
were quickly brought into use and most
of the inmates were thus rescued.
Victims Lived on Third Floor.
The Abrams family lived on the third
floor. For some reason the flames swept
through their apartments so that the only
way of escape was by jumping from the
windows. Charles Abrams and his sister
Anna did this, but both struck an iron
railing and were dead when picked up.
Mrs. Abrams and her other children, Sa-
die and Carrie. were burned to death,
clasped in each others arms. Mrs.
Abrams was the widow of Michael
Abrams, who was an Interpreter In the
Brooklyn police courts for many years.
One of the families in the building,
that of Max Tolar, was in the SlOcum
disaster, and each member escaped az
that time. Their good fortune followed
them today. for all got out of the burn
ing building without injury.
Although there is no evidence of in
cendiaTism, the origin of the-fire was
so peculiar that the authorities will make
a rigid investigation.

At a point about six miles this side of

probably thrown the train into the river
