PUSHING WAR ON BETTING
MORE INDICTMENTS FOUND
AGAINST RACING MEN.
Gov. Hughes Activity Expected to
Cause a Cleaning Out of the
Big Tracks.

NEW YORK, October Gov. Hughes
renewed activity against betting at the
race tracks, it was said today, had re-
suited in the indictment by the Kings
county (Brooklyn) grand jury of the
Coney Island Jockey Club and the Brook
Ign Jockey Club, charged with aiding
and abetting the making of gambling
books. Though the customary grand
jury secrecy still surrounds the case. it
was generally reported that the four
indictments returned yesterday had been
swehed to thirty, including certain Off
GERS of the clubs named, one important
police official and several private de-
tectives in the employ of racing associ-
ations.
No warrants had been served tonight,
but general opinion among racing men
was that officials of the racing associ-
Monday morning for their clubs. Philip
Dryer is president of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club and Schuyler Parsons is
president of the Coney Island Jockey
Club, w. X. Vanderbilt, who is abroad
is said to control 80 per cent of the
Coney Island Jockey Club stock
The action, as generally interpreted
today, is the most drastic since the pass
ing of the Agnew-Hart anti-betting bill.
Many were of the opinion that if prose-
cution is successful every track in
Kings and Queens counties-the rich
metropolitan district-the Empire CITY
track at Yonkers and the Saratoga
courses will be forced to clean house.

Price and Sell Product at

CHARLOTTE, N. c., October "A
critical situation and one of rare occur

because Of the high price of raw cotton,
and unless there is decided drop in the
price of staple in less than two weeks,
according to ex-President S. B. Tanner
of the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association. southern mills will be forced
to shut down.
1T is very easy question to answer
said Mr.. Tanner as to what the mills.
both cloth and yarn. will do in the event
of thirteen-cent cotton continuing as at
present.
1T will mean that there will be no
money in textile products, and the mills,
after using up what small stocks of cot
ton they have on hand. will have to shut
down-that is, If cloth and yarn. espec-
tally the former, do not take decided
jump upward-a bigger jump than cot
ton manufacturers would expect under
the circumstances.
1t was further declared that the mills
are buying practically no raw cotton at
they lay in stocks at that figure, for the
quotations on cotton goods and cotton
warns are far too low to leave any profit
to the manufacturer today.
Meeting Called for October 8.
In other words the mill that makes
warn or cloth out of thrteen-cent cotton
and sells it's product at prevailing prices
will lose its profit and great deal more

and will not be experimental I'm by any
of the manufacturers.
Many of the mills have some little cot
