THINKS INDIANA WILL
Be TURFMEKS MECCA
"Woodie" Hoffman Illinois
Man Arouses Expecta-
tions at Los Angeles.
SAYS NEW TRACK IS PLANNED
Claims That Bill Will Be Introduced
in Legislature the
Coming Week.

Once more the bewhiskered report
comes that Lake county Is destined to
have racing the coming summer. This
time the evangelist of the movement is
FWoOdfe" Hoffman, who is quoted at
length In dispatches from Los Angeles,
stating that the sport Is to be re-
sumed across the boVder in Indiana.
He asserts that the Chicago racing
contingent will have nothing to do
with the proposed meeting and this
statement is borne out by John Con-
don, owner of the Harlem track.
Condor laughed at the idea last even
ing, said that he did not believe any
meeting would be held and stated also
1 that he was not connected with any
revival movement
ROby Track Torn Down.
Hoffman claimed meeting might be
htld at the old Lakeside track. Con-
don said that the track was not only
dismantled, but that sheds had been
built on the site.
One point brought out by Hoffman
was that bill would be introduced in
he Indiana legislature to legalize bet
ing for percentage of the receipts
going into a general fund for the
maintenance of charitable institutions
and schools.
He claimed that a pretentious plant
would also be built across the Indiana
border, to be opened in June, costing
more than s75O.O00.
Chicago Man in Movement.
William Hoyt, an attorney and pro
moter of this city was named as one
of those behind the movement in Hoff
mans statement. Hoffman said he
thought the measure to legalize the
sport under proper conditions. would
pass without a dissenting vote in the
Legislature.
According to Hoffman, all available
tracts of land just across the border
were placed under option several weeks |
ago, so that the present movers in the |
scheme would be sure of having a site
to locate their plants
indianapolis, Jan 12-Nothing is
known here of any general movement
to revive racing in Indiana, although
1t is thought that a bill will be intro
dueed to legalize betting under GER
an conditions. Just what he attitude
OF the governor will be is not known
but it is thought likely that he NAV on
pose the bill on account of pressure
from the anti betting contingent. He
mas not expressed himself on the point
as yet.

people.
Too many Keokuk citizens are
handicapped with a bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery
making work a burden and stopping or
lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and linimenss may give
relief, but cannot reach the cause. TO
eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
news and cure them permanently. Can
you doubt Keokuk evidence?
Louis G. Kraft, 419 Timea street,
Keokuk, Iowa, says: II can confirm
the statement my wife gave two years
ago recommending Doan's Kidney Pills
in my behalf | had considerable
trouble from my kidneys, the secre-
lions passing too frequently. also

able to get relief until l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills from Wilkinson

rected and my kidneys gave me no
