what is approximately the present

America-the advocates of Govern

A little more than two years ago,
when open discomfort over such rail-

self, Hartman made speech at
Kansas City, in which he repudiated
the charge He then declared:
'The impression prevails that l

any other man. That statement is
made frequently. I deny it. 1t is not
true. | do not control one mile of

vast interests of this kind. There
are fourteen or fifteen thousand per-
sons who cooperate in the control OF

This is, no doubt, one side of it

CALIFORNIA RACING
GETS FATAL BLOW
Walker Otis Anti Race Track
Gambling Bill.
VIOLATION OF ACT is A FELONY
Governor Gillett Will Sign Measure,
But Present Season of Racing in
State Will Not Be Affected by
Law.

Sacramento, Cal.--Racing in Cali
fornia received fatal blow when the
Senate, by vote OF 33 to z, passed
the Wa1ker-Otis Anti-Race Track
Gambling bill, which prohibits pool
selling, bookmaking, or gambling on
horse races.
The bill had already passed the AS
sembIy, and it will now go to the
Governor for his signature, after
after which it will become law.
Governor Gillett his signified his in
tention to sign the measure, but he
will not take this action until thirty
days shall have elapsed. AS the bill
permits pool sellers and bookmakers
sixty days time in which to close
up their affairs, the present season
of racing at the Emeryville and Santa
Anita courses will not be disturbed.
The Walker-Otis Anti-Gambling
bill follows closely the text of the
bill which was passed by the Legisla-
ture of New York in extra session
last year. Violation of the measure
is made felony, the punishment for
which is Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary and heavy fine. .
The Senate galleries were packed
when Senator Walker, sponsor for the
bill, presented the measure for con-
sideration. He explained that it
would not prevent horse racing, and
would not injure the business of the
State one iota. 1t was agreed by the
supporters of the bill that there
should be no doubt on the part Of
those favorable to its passage,
Senator Wolfe, in speech oppos-
ing the bill, said:
81 am against this bill because it
is unfair. You don't stop the hand
books by this measure, and if you
pass it and it becomes law you will
stop racing in California. But they
will continue to race in Canada, Mex
leo, and every other State where
gambling on speed contests is per-
mitted. At the running of the Burns
Handicap at Emeryville over $4,000
persons witnessed the contest. They
did not all bet. They loved to be
there-it made their blood run freer
Ito see that noble contest"
Wolfe closed with an eloquent plea
to his fellow-Senators to vote against
the bill on the ground that it would
kill the breeding industry of the State
and result in loss of millions of dol
lars annually.

ton.
The contract was placed August 6
1907, at $3,987, 900, to be built in ac-
cordance with the departments de-
sign for both hull and reciprocating
machinery. Her keel was laid Mo-
vember IL, 1907. The Delaware is
$40 feet in length on load waterline,
IS feet 2 inches in breadth and her
mean draft to bottom of keel at trial
displacement about u feet. She will
have triple expansion reciprocating
engines and will require more than
900 men.

breech loading rifles and her second
airy battery will be fourteen five-inch
rapid-tire guns, four three-pounder
saluting guns, four one-pounder
semi-automatie guns, two three-inch
field pieces and two machine guns of
80 calibre. She has two submerged
torpedo tubes.
The Delaware will have displace-
-nent on trial of 10000 tons, or 2100
tons more than the British Dread
nought and $50 tons more than Great
Britain's latest vessel of that type,
the Vanguard.
