New York, Dec. 2.-The books of the
Jockey Club organization which con-
trolls and sanctions horse racing
throughout the United States were
produced before the joint legislative
Investigating committee today. They
showed that in 1906, 1907, and 1908,
the club expended $1,000 for legal ex-
penses, advertising, and the press bur-
eau. This total was shown by entries
from three accounts numbered 1, 2
and 8. According to the entries the
heaviest expenditures were in 1907,
the year preceding the passage of the
anti-betting bill. In that year by en-
tries the legal expenses of the Jockey
Club were $175,62O. The year previous
they were $92,642 and in 1908, the year
in which the Hughes legislation fin
ally prevailed by one vote, they were
$52,500 paid out of a special fund.
Frank K. Sturgis, treasurer of the
Jockey club, testified that all of these
disbursements were at the personal
direction of August Belmont, chairman
of the Jockey club and that $42,290 of

the special fund was paid to E. P.
Coyne, lawyer recommended to the
club by James w. Wadsworth, Jr.,
speaker of the assembly. The books
of the Metropolitan Turf association,
composed of bookmakers, were not
produced because John J. Evans, treas
urer of the ass ociation said that none
was kept. He admitted, however, that
the association still had invested the
fund of $120,OO0. Sturgis was asked
to explain the nature of the three &C.
counts, numbered 1, 2 and 3. He re-
piled that No. / represented moneys
spent by the Jockey club in it's own
interests, that No. 2 contained expen-
ditures made in behalf of other rae
ing associations contributing to the
Jockey club, and that No. was for
joint expenditures. Receipted bills
were produced showing that Coyne

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 2.-It was sew

the office of Governor Stubbs with
two beautiful bearskin rugs. One was
white polar and the other black
bear. When he went away he had a
roll of bills large enough for a stage
comedian, and the governor had the
skins.
The rugs were allowed to lie in the
executive offices for several days so
that all who entered might see, admire
and comment Their great yawning
red mouths and glistening teeth typi-
fled the word fight, which is the gov
ernor's proudest characteristic.
Finally the fur were taken to Law
renee. Colonel Roosevelt stepped up
on them, stopped and gave an ex-
clamation of delight as he ad mired
their beauty.

onel Roosevelt. "Never have l seen
