First Execution of New
YOrk's Anti-Race Track
Gambling Law.

New York, June 13-Three hundred
uniformed policeman and scores of
plain clothes men swarmed in the
confines of Gravesend race track to-
day and gambling was practically
stopped, in compliance with the Hart
Agnew laws.
A few book makers made quiet at
tempts TO take wagers and of these

Magistrate Tighe. Five bookmakess
were discharged and the others re-
leased on $500 bail for examination on
June 22
Sixteen thousand persons went to
the track today to see a day-of rae
ing without the interest of the specu-
lative element. Except for the desert
ed betting ring there was nothing to
indicate any unusual situation. An
hour before the trumpet called for the
mounts in the first race. a line of $50
policemen filed into the betting ring
The gathering crowds were informed
that the ring was to be used only for
a thoroughfare
Meantime John Cavanaugh, the
head of the boOkmakers club, mounted
a stool and told the boollmakers of the
Jockey Club to aid the police in the
execution of the laws. The bookmak-
ers filed out IF the ring and dispersed
amnng the spectators on the lawn and
in the grandstand.
With all hope. of gambling on a
large scale abandoned, some of the
bookmakers stood along the rail and

out of hearing.
Detectives in plain clothes moved
about the crowds and whenever they
saw three or four persons engaged in
quiet communication they pushed their
way between them and ordered them
to move on. In this way the crowds
were kept circulating about the
grounds and pre<nted from gathering
in groups. One boOkmaker who had
the temerity to inform a friend what
the odds were on a certain race was
promptly arrested.
All the arrests were made quietly by
the police and there was no disorder
! at any time. The police had no fav-
orites in this suppression of gambling

With Fitting Ceremony Perpetual Prosperity
Was Ushered In
After of OratOry Inspired by the Presence of
Cooperative Achievement Governor Kibbey Re-
leased the First Flow From New Diversion Works.

Eighty-five wagons, twelve autos,
three motor cycles five bicycles and
twelve persons on horseback. About
forty wagons arrived from Phoenix
the evening before and as many more
arrived from the south side, the occu-
pants of each camping on their respec-
tive sides of the river. Yesterday
morning at daylight another army be-
gan to move from Mesa City and Tenn
pc and from a. m. to daylight sim
liar procession left Phoenix. Later
came the power vehicles and some bug
gies did not leave town until late. II
is generally agreed however that much
the larger number of people were in
attendance from the south side, the
chief reason being that they had only
half as far to go. All told il is pre-
sumed that there were present between
1900 and 1900 people, men, women and
children.
There was not an untoWard incident
during the day except the expected
breaking of automobile tires and an oc-
casional mishap to some wagon, but all
finally got there and all are supposed
to have got home again. Probably the
run Will Il
was made by a Tourist with Clyde
Wilson as chauffeur and Nj. c. Nc
Dougall Barry Goldwater, H. l. Lath-
am and Harry Hancock as passengers.
The run up was made in one hour and
thirty-five minutes and the return took
ten minutes longer, with a stop on each
trip to repair a puncture.
Constructing Engineer ]. w. Martin
had thoughtfully provided every pos
sible convenience under the circum-
stances for the comfort of the crowd
and to insure its safety. Flights of
steps had been built at convenient
places from the river banks up to the
top of the headgates and diversion
works and down again to the dam
which was flushing with a few inches
of water over the crest A bridge
across the canal had been constructed
als0~a little distance below the head.
AS advertised at the proper time suf-
ficient water was released to lower the
pond, known as Lake Martin, so the
visitors could pass from one side to
the other, but late comers from the
southside took a pharaoh chance and
waded the stream on top of the dam
rather than miss the ceremonies. Some

The Gathering of Delegates to the National
Republican Convention
There is Enthusiasm About the A1lies Headquarters
In Spite of the Apparent Certainty of Taft's Nom
inatiOn On the First Ballot.

Chicago, June 13-The tramp of
the convention hosts is now fairly
under way, and tonight Chicago is
beginning to throb with the confu-
sion incident TO the arriving of the
throngs. Many representatives of
foreign governments came to witness
the national convention. A driZzling
rain tonight after a hot muggy day,
tended to restrain Outbursts of en-
thusiasm but there is promise of
good convention weather ahead.
The centers of interest today were
the arriving delegations, with many
leaders of conspicuous national prom
ipence and the followers of the va
rious political candidates Among the
notable convention followers to ar
rive were Don Cameron, former
United States senator from Pennsyl-
vania, who has not attended a ma
tional convention since 1880, when he
stood with Roscoe Conkling and John
A Logan as leaders of the third
term movement in the interest of
General Grant; Henry Taft. brother
of the secretary of war; Chauncey
N. Depew, who eight years ago at
tended the Philadelphia convention
with a speech seconding the nOmina-
tion of Roosevelt for vice president;
Representative Serene Paine of New
York. chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house of
representatives; Senator Long of
Kansas, who is reputed to have the
Dolliver vice presidential boom in
cold storage; James S, Sherman and
Timothy L. Woodruff of New York,
both receptive vice presidential pos
sibilities; Ex-Governor Yates of Illi-
nois, and a host of others notable in
the political world.
New York's delegations arrived at
noon. A considerable part of the
Pennsylvania delegation was added to
that already here. Other state con-
tingents struggled in during the af-
ternoon and evening.
The Taft headquarters are divided
between three large hotels. The
Hughes headquarters took on added
brilliancy at the Auditorium after the
New York delegation arrived today,
for whatever personal sentiment may
be toward the governor, the dele
gates are standing by the instruc-
tions of the state convention for him.
Accordingly a huge portrait of the
governor was mounted aloft in the
hotel lobby. topped by a sunburst of
red, white and blue, with Hughes
in electrical letters two feet high just
below.

1HE TERRIBLE MISSILE.

Norfolk, June 13.-Upon her arrival
at the navy yard today the Monitor
Florida was Immediately run into the
stone deck and the water was pump
ed out in order that a close examina-
ton of the damage done by the tor
pedo could be definitely seen. The
examination showed a clean hole eX-
tending from the superstructure ter
feet down the hull.
The destructive power of the tor
pedo is a marvel of the examining
Officers. The injury internally ex-
tended in about eight feet at the cen
ter but varied from four to six feet
in margins. 1t is the opinion of ex-
perts that without a bulkhead the
Florida would have gone down in a
few moments at the most. With II
she could easily have kept afloat in
definitely with the use of pumps.

The Cannon men were somewhat
, envious of these two-fOOt letters and
tonight Joe Cannon is blazing forth
from in front of the Auditorium in
letters ten feet high. The Knox and
Fairbanks headquarters are also cen
ters of attention, each resplendent
with color and electricity. Real en-
thusiasm awaits the arrival of the
rank and file of the supporters of
these candidates.
Ex- Governor Herrick of Ohio said
tonight: $50 far as the presidential
nomination is concerned we consider
it settled settled beyond the shadow
of a doubt. Secretary Taft will be
nominated on the first ballot by j
considerable majority. This is not a
mere claim; it is an established fact"
The presidential nomination having
failed to develop a contest calculated
to thrill the convention, the vice
presidency has fortunately come for
ward as a real factor, the doubt
promising to keep the convention on
the keen edge Of expectancy until the
final ballot is taken.
With the positive declaration of
Governor Hughes that ne viii not
take the nomination under any cir
cumstances, the New York men have
been trying. without much success, to
get together on some name. for if
they can do this there appears a
strong tendency in the middle west
to join forces with New York. Rep
resentative Sherman of New York
appears to have wide support. The
name of Cortelyou continues to be
mentioned and is one which will de-
velop increasing strength as the bal
loting draws near. Ex-Governor
Woodruff also has vice presidential
supporters among the New York del
egatiOn.

June I3, 1903, at 2:35 o'clock on a blis-

casion as their enthusiasm welled from
grateful hearts and drifted over the
audience from a still higher sand levee
extending beyond the headgates up the
river bank.
The feet of the multitude were bur
led in sand almost hot enough to cook
an egg, but they knew that in like
manner the speakers suffered with
them and without mention of the fact
there was an intuitive understanding
that all were mentally rejoicing in the

the effect all the worshipers attend in

this is it." At the church entrance

back, but again driven away BY anoth-

was asked
II know something about it by OBJ
servation," he answered, land a little
by experience. When / had reached
the age of twenty-five, with fair in
come and good prospects, thought it
was time for me to marry. l had al
most decided to ask certain Naomi
Henthorne, but didn't altogether like
the family, and was in an uncertain
frame of mind about her, when some
Of my friends began to take it upon
themselves to assist me. They told
me that Naomi was the very girl for

try, and SO on. In short, they praised
her so highly that made up my mind
I'd follow their advice. l began pay

reluctance, "she said she wouldn't mar

The fearful tetanus, or lockjaw, was
ascribed in all the books when I was
q student to puncture or irritation of
q nerve, and both hands and feet were
sometimes cut off to stop the irritation
going up the nerve to the spine. Now
we know that it is due to fatal
poison in the blood which acts like
strychnia, though more painfully, and
which is produced by bacillus lodged
In a punctured wound made by some
stick, nail or pistol wad on which this
evil bacillus happened to be. It is a
