NEWEST CRUSADE
AGAINST RACING
Wholesale indictments Are
Made By Grand Jury
TEST CASES Will BE MADE
Some OF the Wealthest Men Connect
ed With Racing Are Indicted as
Well as the Bookmakers
and Private Detectives.
TEST CASES WILL BE MADE

New York, October 4.-After two
years of agitation against race track
gambling in this state, marked by the
passage of the drastic anti-betting bill,
generally referred to as the Hart
Agnew law, it remained for the Kings
county (Brooklyn) grand jury to write
new chapter in the crusade today,
when there were handed up in court
indictments against the two big Kings
county race tracks, three police Of
ficials, five private detectives and 20
bookmakers.
The Brighton Beach Racing associa-
tion was similarly involved last year.
but the case failed and action has
heretofore been against bookmakers or
betters the defendants in which pro-
ceedings have been generally exoner-
ated by the lower courts which held that
oral betting was no crime. The first
test of these cases Will be made by the
court of appeals this week. 1t was
the increase of "oral betting" conducted
by the so-called memory brokers" that
resulted in this latest evidence of Gov

WOMEN GOLFERS
ARE PLENTIFUL

Philadelphia, October 4-Out of 70 en-
tries for the woman's national golf cham
pionship today at the links of the Me-
rion Cricket club, Haverford, all but three
started and every one finished. Although
it might have been warmer, tn exter-
nal conditions could hardly have been
more favorable and the range of the
cards in the qualifying round of is holes
was high.
Not more than six of the scores were
passably low. OF the seven British visit
ors all played but one only four qualify
ing. Miss Dorothy Campbell. British
champion, was the only one of the four
to fall in the first six. Low score was
triple tie at Sc between Mrs Caleb
Fox, Philadelphia, Miss Margaret Cur
It's, Boston, ex-national champion. and
Miss Anita Phipps. Springfield, Mass.
Miss Curtiss was the least even of tba
three and but for her unprecedented drfv-
ing to atone for variable putting, would
have been some distance below the tor.
Miss Dorothy Campbell came In second
with 81. While not equal to Miss Teache ]
of the visiting delegation as a stylist.
she is far more of a possibility as a
finalist. She was weakest around the
cups. Her driving was exceptionally
straight with no pressing for distance
and her approaching admiral No one
came within five strokes of the woman 5;
record. Mrs Ronald Barrow, Merton, for
mer Philadelphia champion. finished with
SO; Mrs. S. F. Lefferts, Englewood n.
j., with 80, and Miss Mary Adams, Bos-
ton, eastern champion, AT 81.
The qualifying figure was 1903, there
being four at that total On the play OFF
Miss Nobltt of Wilmington won and

Hughes was dissatisfied with the APP
parent increase in oral betting, con-
Quoted on a comparatively small scale
during the first part of the racing sea-
son, and for several days there have
been rumors of indictments. But it
was not until today that it became def
nitely known who the defendants were.
Foremost are the Coney Island and
Brooklyn Jockey clubs, charged as cor
porations, with conspiracy in allowing
betting to go on. This involves a
number of the most prominent support
ers of racing In the United States.
w. K. Vanderbilt owns a controlling
interest in the Coney Island Jockey
club, of which Schuyler L. Parsons is
president. George Peabody Wetmore
and Mr.. Vanderbilt are vice presidents.
The president of the Brooklyn Jockey
club, which operates the Gravesend
track, is Philip j. Dwyer.
The police officials indicted for con-
spiracy on the ground that they know
ingIy permitted the Sheepshead Bay
race track to be used during August
last for betting purposes are Inspector
John ]. O'Brien, who is accused also of
neglecting his duty in failing properly
to supervise the work of his subordi-
mates, Sergeant Hugh Reynolds and
Hugh Meyers of Inspector O'Brien's
personal staff. The private detectives
arrested are Seymour Butler, who was
in charge of the race track forces, and
for years has been a we'll known figure
to followers of the sport on metropoli-
tan tracks, and four of his subordinates.
John G. Cavanaugh, who for years has
been the dominating figure in the betting
rings of the Metropolitan tracks, leads
the list of 25 alleged oookmakers who
are indicted. The list includes the best
known bool1makers in the country.
The three indicted police officials were
arraigned in the Brooklyn county court
today, pleaded not guilty, and were re-
leased on parole. Warrants for the ar
rest of others were issued and a search
for them was Immediately begun. 1t is
expected that the cases will all be set
for trial on October Is.
There was much gloomy speculation
among local followers of racing tonight
as to the probable effect of the new
crusade against gambling.
During the present season the new sys-
TEN of betting, which was evolved for
the purpose of evading the law. has put
new life into the racing game and the
tracks, while by no means as successful
as they were before Governor Hughes
signed the anti-gambling bill, have re-
covered a measure of their prosperity
and have been well patronized.
The betting system used has involved
the use of three bookmakers In the case
Of each wager, one of whom takes the
bettor's money while another register
the transaction and a third pays the
winners the following day. 1t was sup
posed that this three-cornered transac-
ton was so involved as to evade the
! law, but for weeks county detectives
| have been collecting evidence through
which the authorities hope to find con-
victions. Upon the outcome hangs the
| success, to a great extent, of racing on
| the tracks hereabouts.

the clubs manager, Charles Carr, who

ROUNDUP HAS
ITS FIRST FIRE
Company House and Tar Paper
Shack Destroyed Early
Tuesday Morning
LOSS ABOUT $4,000
Almost Entire Contents of Com
pany House Saved-Shack
Insured for $500.

Early Tuesday morning, one of
the miners houses of the Republic
Coal Co., and tar papered shack
owned by Billy jenkins were dis
troyed by fire. The fire originated
in the Jenkins house. and, being
only short distance from the
company dwelling, was commune
Gated to the latter before it was dis
covered. The loss of the fire is
estimated at about $4,000, practically
all of the contents of the company
house being saved, while those Of
the other were consumed. Jenkins
had $500 insurance on his shack
and furniture.
The fire was seen about half past
four when the little black shack
was already in flames only small
blaze being visible on the other
building. If means had been at
hand at this stage to fight the fire,
most of the damage could easily
have been averted. Before water
could be procured. however, the
blaze was beyond control and both
buildings in a short time were Il
mass OF ruins. The fact that there
was not breath Of wind saved the
greater portion of that part OF the
city, as ii would have been almost
impossible to check the blaze in
the face of a heavy breeze without
adequate fire fighting apparatus.
The fire was caused by an over
heated stove pipe.
James kibhle. who occupied the
company house, has secured one OF
the other houses and has moved
his effects therein. He sustained
very little damage.
