ANNUAL MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR HUGHES Proposal For Federal Income
 lax Is Rejected GAMBLING IS CONDEMNED Measures Are Recommended to Stop Even Oral Betting at Race Tracks and This Throws Scare
 Into Horsemen.
GAMBLING IS C0NDEMNED

Albany, N. Y, January 5.-Governor Hughes, in his annual message to the legislature, today made various recom- mendations on questions of widespread interest. In a supplementary message he dwelt at length upon the proposed con stitutional amendment conferring upon the federal government the power to lay and collect an income tax from what ever source derived" without apportion- ment among the states according to popu- lation, and in conclusion recommended that this amendment be not ratified. In this connection the governor says:
 q am for conferring upon federal gov ernment the power to lay and collect such tax I believe this power should be held by the federal government so as to properly equip it with the means of meeting national exigencies.
 .sBut the power to tax incomes should not be granted in such terms as to sub ject to federal taxation the incomes de- rived from bonds issued by the state itself, or those issued by municipal gov ernments organized under the state au- thority. To place the borrowing capacity of the state and of it's governmental agencies at the mercy of the federal taxing power would be an impairment of the essential rights of the state which, as it's officers, we are bound to defend"
 4 The governor recommended an amend fnent penaiizing the practice of book making, even though no bets are record ed He recommended suppression of the white slave traffic." favored direct nom- 1nations and a short ballot. approved the report of the committee appointed to in .vestigate the stock exchanges of New York and again recommended that the public service commissions law be ex tended to bring telegraph and telephone icompanfes under the jurisdiction of the commission.
 - He referred to Miss Mary Harriman's offer of tract of land for s1,o0o.0 to be held in trust for public park purposes and other offers of S .6250Oo from the Palisades park commission for park pur- poses.

Horsemen Are Dismayed.

New York. January 5.-The govern or's recommendation that Legislation be enacted to abolish oral betting at the tracks struck racing men here to- day with dismay. They stand to lose thousands of dollars if the suggestion is put into effect.
 Last year oral betting was little ln- terfered with by the police. There was a drop in attendance, and decrease in betting, 1t is true. but not sur ficient to keep thousands from the track. and as the season advanced, and a feeling of greater security estap- lished itself, hopes of better patron age another year found expression In large stakes and more entries.
 Bookmakers who suffer directly, whereas the racing men suffer indi- rectly through diminished attendance, were confident tonight that betting can never be abolished and any Legislation to prohibit it at the tracks would only result in more business for the pool rooms

HEINZE APPEARS IN
 CIRCUIT COURT

New York, January 5.-Hints of sen sational developments soon to come In the cases of the indicted United Copper company officials were circulated today when F. Augustus Heinze appeared in the United States circuit court here and pleaded not guilty to an indictment charg- ing over certihcation and misappiication of funds of the Mercantile National bank. the former Morse and Heinze institution.
 MT. Heinze inserted demurrer to the indictment against him and argument on the demurrer was set for January l3 MT. Heinzes original ball of $5o,ooo was continued
 The indictments were returned several weeks ago and MT. Heinze was told he would be wanted when the January term of court opened The court was called for today and this morning 1t was an nounced that Heinze was on his way.
 Both the indictments to whic hthe cop per man will have to say guilty or mot guilty" were sealed when found by the grand jury and have remained sealed ever since Heinze. will have distin- puished array of counsel at his side when he appears in court
 Counsel for the Heinzes issued a state ment tonight, questioning the regularity of the indictments against F. A. Heinze and urging that they be quashed.
 Flight of these transactions upon which IS or the IS counts are based" says the statement, rest primarily on the alleged insolvency of the firm of Otto Heinze x Co. at a period prior to the panic or october, 1907. This seems to us rather strange, in view of the fact that In bank runtov proceedings instituted against Otto Heinze & Co.,, 1t has but recently been tudiciaIly determined that on and before October 1, 1907 the firm was solvent. There are also incomprehensible mis- statements of fact as to the various loans made to Otto Heinze & Co.,"

 Later I had an experience with bear that came near ending my life, and I was chewed up pretty severely. I was greatly surprised when the Cook magazine article wGs published, after he returned to this country. to see in it my picture and the story of my experience with the bear. Cook told how his party had rescued me from the jaws of death.
 "As matter of fact, Cook was not within 15C miles of me at the time the bear and I mixed In the magazine also was a picture of my struggle with the bear, which, of course, was a fake"
