ALL BETTING IN
NEW YORK IS
ILLEGAL
Several Prohibitive Laws Went
Into Effect Yesterday.
RACE TRACKS SHOT DOWN
Directors and Managers Do Not Wish
to Run Risk Of Prosecu-
ton

New York, Sept. 2.--All of the sew
eral laws prohibiting betting of every
character in the state of New York
became effective yesterday. These
laws were originally aimed solely at
racing, but amendments and changes
were made until now it is hazardous
to offer to make wager by word of
mouth. While there can be no wager
unless there are two persons to the
transaction, but IL the offer is made
and accepted, though no money be
passed, the law is violated.
Directors and managers of race
tracks are made liable for any viola
tons that may occur within their
grounds. 1t was this last section
that caused the various tracks of The
Jockey Club to surrender their fall
dates.
Just as long as the blame was not
fixed on them directly they were will
ing to race, and those desiring to bet
on the races could find ways of their
own to evade the law. The fixing of
the liability on the race track Direc-
tors themselves put things in an en-
/ tirely different light and IL is for that
reason that a session Of sport origin
ally intended to continue until Nov.
10 came to a close at Saratoga, Aug.
81.
The laws apparently leave no loop
hole and several of the poolrooms
and handbook men, who have done a
thriving business in New York, put up
the shutters yesterday, and others
have intimated that they will make
no further fight for a play when it
may mean arrest and jail term. II
any plan has been devised to evade
the law 1t is not generally known.

The Socialists will have their clos

day evening at s o'clock at the corner
of Main and North streets with G. +.
Ordway, the Socialist candidate for
governor, as speaker.
The rally was arranged several
weeks ago. before either of the other
parties had made any OF their cam
paign plans and it is therefore no
fault of the Socialists that it comes
on the same night as the Democratic
rally, as Mr.. Ordway's schedule Of
addresses did not permit him to come
here any other night.
