Fighting Anti-Gamblins Bills.

New York, Ncv. 30.-In addition to
the so-called "slush fund" OF $500, 900
alleged to have been raised by interests
associated with racing to fight the
Hughes anti gambling bills, the Or
ganized racing associations and the
Jockey Club expended for legal ser
vices" in excess of S264, 900 in oppos-
ing the bills.
This was developed by the New York
legislative gait investigating commit
tee today through the examination OF
former Senator William H. Reynolds.
president of the Metropolitan Jockey
Club, and Victor A. Schaunburg, secrc-
tary OF the Coney Island Jockey Club
This is an amazing sum to be OK
pended in opposing racing legislation, "
said Judge NJ. Linn Bruce, chief coun-
sci for the committee today. We will
call witnesses sufficient to find out how
this money could have been expended,
rs it seems uncomfortable that more
than quarter OF million dollars could
have been legally expended in fighting
a bill that was under consideration less
than six months. Before Reynolds
testified, the committee took up the
question of pure milk legislation, prob
ing allegations that combination OF
milk dealers had combined to secure
the passage OF law allowing the sale
OF inferior quality of milk. A number
OF members of milk dealers organiza-
tons, were examined in this connec-
ton.

BOMB WRECKS SALOON.

A kidnapping case, originating five
years ago, in which the late Lieutenant
Petrosino, who was murdered in Italy,
played the part Of investigator, is be-
lieved to have led indirectly to Il bomb
explosion in the early hours OF yoster-
day which shook up one OF the most
thickly populated blocks in New York,
did extensive damage and created Il
panic in the neighborhood.
The bomb exploded in the doorway
OF the Bella Trinaoria saloon, in the
heart of the Sicilian settlement in
Elizabeth street. 1t completely wrecked
the saloon, the front Of which was
blown inward, badly damaged adjacent
stores, hurled sleepers in the tenements
above from their beds and cracked
windows for blocks around.
francesca lie Barbera is the owner of
the saloon. He had left the place
about half an hour before the explo-
sion. Yesterday he gave the police his
theory OF the animus behind the out
rage. About five years ago, he said,
his son Pietro, 6 years old, was kid
mapped, and he has never heard from
him. The police were notified, and
Lieutenant Pctrosino worked on the
case. lie Barbera received many letters
threatening his life if a large sum OF
money was not paid for the return of
the boy, but paid no attention TO them,
and it is believed by him that the kid
nappers are now starting in their re-
ypnpp

Murderer Arrested.

Paris, Nov. 29.-Capt Meynier, a
French army officer, who murdered the
Baroness Olivier in his lodgings, on
November II, was arrested this after
noon at the Offices of the ministry OF
marine, after he had sent in his card to
a personal friend. He made no effort
to escape.
The murder Of the baroness, who
was divorced, had been disclosed 10 the
commissioner of police in the following
letter from Meynier:
II caused the death last night OF my
Gancee, La Baronne,in fit OF jealousy
at my lodgings in the Rue de Rome.
Go and see. My fiancee confessed to
me that she had another lover. /
watched by her bed all night. 1 am
going away to have another reyeng'.
Ia a few hours you will find my
corpse"
Long search failed to find Meynier's
corpse"
The body Of the woman, however,
was found. There we're black splotches
all over her body and lips, as though
burned by acid. Her divorced husband
declared she had been lured to the
ROOMS, and was innocent OF
wroDgdoing.

The Trial of Miss lie Blanc.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 3O.-The
court room in West Cambridge was
packed today to overlooking by those
who believed that before the day ended
Hattie lie Blanc, the little Fren ch-Ca-
madam girl, would be freed of the
charge of numbering Clarence F. Glover
They based their belief on the fact
that Judge Bond ruled last night that
Glover's statement Hattie LIE Blanc
shot me-" was not made when he was
in apprehension OF death.
Judge Bond refused to allow District
Attorney Higgins to use this statement
in his opening address, and declared he
might rule it out as evidence when the
case began. He announced that he
would give final decision today.
As soon as court convened, Judge
Bond ruled that the prosecution might
not bring out in testimony the alleged
dying words" OF Glover, in which the
girl was charged with the shooting.
This was generally regarding as mean
ing the eventual acquittal of the girl.

called at the White House today. He
did not see the president, and would
not hazard an opinion regarding the
work OF the coming session. Any
body's guess Of what We will do is as
good as NINE" he said.
From CIaud Graham-White, the
English aviator, President Taft, today
received the following telegram: On
sailing from your hospitable shores
allow me to thank you most heartily
for your kind appreciation OF aeroplane
flights. I trust that I may have the
honor Of demonstrating to you the
rapid advance in the science OF avia-
ton on my return to the state next
year"
President Taft today abandoned his
plan Of representing to Congress on the
first day Of the coming session the
names Of his appointees to the Supreme
Court and the court of commerce.
Although he has been casting about for
suitable men since early in the sum
mer, the executives not yet ready def
nitely to announce his choice. His
plan now, after disposng OF his mes
sage, is to devote two or three days to
conferences with representatives and
senator's, and then pick out the new ap-'
pointees to the highest bench and the
commerce court. Already some two
hundred candidates have been urged
upon the president. The executive has
had prepared careful statement, en-
bodying the record and qualifications
OF each applicant. Next week he will
receive delegations which may desire
ing to urge candidates and talk the
matter with his friends and advisors,
and then retire to his inner sanctum
to pick the men. As yet the executive
has an open mind regarding men for
the places but it is understood that he
inclines toward the selection Of Asso-
ciate Justice Hughes as chief justice OF
the United States. He also will become
n successor to Lloyd w. Bowers, sollc-
itor general.
Harvey c. Miller, OF Philadelphia
was arrested at Savannah, Ga, today
on charge OF violating the Elkin's law
by accepting concessions in freight
rates.
Edward Taylor, a former well-known
broker, committed suicide here this
morning by inhaling gas.

Death of Jeiu 31ace.

London, Nov. 30.-Jem Mace, the
noted old English fighter, died today:
Mace was ut one time England's
greatest pugilist and made as he him
self termed it barrels OF money in
the ring" Despite he died almost
poverty stricken. About q year ago he
was obliged to apply for public old
age pension of five shillings week.
Mace vas born at Becston, Norwich,
in April, 1881, and for years before
his death enjoyed the reputation Of
being the oldest living pugilist. He
prided himself Oh being the one man
that the game hadn't killed, and at
tributed his longevity to careful living
and fighting shy OF tie booze habit.
Mace was declared at ono time to
be worth $500, 900 but in spite of his
ability to keep himself in fine physical
trim, he was unable to hold onto his
roll, and was in poverty when ho died.

Another Revolt.

Hong Kong, Nov. 3O.-The first re-
volt against the new Portuguese revolu-
ton is said to have occurred at Macao,
q Portuguese colony, just below the city
of Canton, China. News of the up
rising has just been received here. II
is reported that several hundred SOL
diers and sailors joined in the revolt
and there is intense anxiety as to the
safely Of foreign residents.
The revolt was startled by the sailors
on q gunboat, who marched from their
dock to the public square, where they
fired three volleys, as signal to the
land forces. The troops Immediately
Joined them. The combined forces
marched to the Santa Clara convent,

Girls Wed TO ShIrk School.

New York, Nov. 30.-.New York s
board of education is alarmed over the
increasing marriages Of Italian girls,
Of 16 years or less, who become wives
with their parents consent in order to
avoid the compulsory education law.
Edward B. Shallow, who is in charge
OF the department Of compulsory
education, said yesterday that fifteen
girls, all under 16 and several under
IA, had married and left school within
the last three months. While being a
wife does not necessarily exempt them
from school attendance, the board
finds it difficult to handle such cases.
It is probable that the board will hold
a meeting in the near future to discuss

DR.. COOKS CONFESSION.

SAYS He was Half-mad when he Con-
WINGED Himself he had discovered tho
Pole-Cook says 1t would be Impossible
for any Person to Demonstrate he
reached it
New York, Nov. 30.-Dr. Cook has
made o written statement. He says:
Did / get to the North Pole ? Per-
haps I made mistake in thinking I
did. Perhaps I did not make a mis-
take. After mature thought, confess
that I do not know absolutely whether
l reached the pole. This may come
as an amazing statement. but I am
willing to startle the world, if by SO
doing l can get an opportunity to
present my case. By my case I mean
not my case as a geographical discov-
erer, but my case as. a man. Much as
the attainment OF the North Pole once
meant to me, the sympathy and con-
tidence of my fellow-men means
more.
Fully, freely and frankly, shall
tell everything-and leave the decision
with you. If, after reading my story
you say Cook is sincere and honest;
half crazed by months Of isolation and
hunger he believed that he reached tho
pole; he is not n faker, then l shall be
satisfied.
DR.. Cook tells his life story and pic
lures the ovcrpowering ambition for
exploration that beset him Until finally
it eliminated in his effort to reach the
pole. He declares that at the time he
convinced himself that lie had discover
ed the pole he was half mad. He
spent two and one-half years in his
quest and during that period endured
hunger and privation that, he says,
would unbalance any mind.
Cook declares that it would be im-
possible for any man to demonstrate
that he had been to tho North Pole.
He characterizes the far north as 4
region OF insanity where one cannot
believe the evidences gathered by ono S
own eye. "
He says that he had always looked
upon the discovery OF the pole rs M
achievement for his own personal salts
faction-for the satisfaction OF n craving
aud desire that was greater than any
other factor in his life. When he
found how tremendous sensation his
statement that he attained the pole
created, he WAS overcome with be-
wilderment.
One Of the most remarkable facts
brought out by Cooks story is the fact
that all the time ho has been away,
with the shrewdest newspaper men in
the world on his trail, with newspapers
offering sums that ranged into the
thousands for the slightest definite news
of his whereabouts, lie has never worn
disguise and has never taken any I'm.

Cook will return to the United States

ALEX .NDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV.

An entire page OF one OF the New
York papers OF last Sunday was de-
voted to scenes following the aSsasSi-
nation OF President Lincoln on April
IA, 1865, and spccuationS on the final
disposition OF the body Of John
Wilkes Booth. The writer, among
other things, says:
Nine days after the national tragedy
Booth lay dead in the new grass on
the Garrett farm in Caroline county.

from Washington by hard riding
across the Long Bridge which spans
the Potomac, swinging wide into the
wild country with one loot il the STR.
rup and tho other hanging limp and
broken. At Alexandria the fractured
member was swathed in splints and
again he pressed on in the darkness.
That Booth left Washington in an
opposite direction is wcil-known. He
did not escape over the Long Bridge
into Virginia. He made his way across
the Navy Yard bridge from Washing
ton into Maryland. wiicrc his leg was
set by Doctor MuGd, who was after
wards sent to the Dry Torsugas for
his services to the assassin Booth
subsequently crossed the Potomac
and went to the Garrett farm where
he was shot TO death in burning barn.
Several years ago an attachc Of q"
Ohio newspaper visited Acxandria.
Upon his return to his home he at
tempted to write 4 description Of the
dual tragedy at the Marshall House en-
May "a, 1861. He prefaced his art!ci"

Louisville, KY, Nov. 30.--The gov
errors who came TO Kentucky to con.
fer on how the ship Of state should be
pioted, have started off by iettisoning
heavy cargo OF burning issues and
are merrily sailing away on placid
sea of tea parties, banquets and recep-
tions. The governors thus far have
absolutely refused to have anything to
do with the income tax which was on
the programme for discussion. They
taboo also all public talk about the
popular election Of senators which was
likewise OH the programme.
The questions, they declare, verge
close to the shore Of politics. Some Of
the western governors who came to the
conference TO help the advance Of pro-
grcssivo political ideas are wondering
what they are here for.
The governors of the west expected
to tell the governors Of the east what
the big west thinks OF the big issues,
but the governors OF the east who, as
committee on procedure, control the
doings OF the conference decided at the
last moment that they didn't want to
talk about these matters.
And they have also refused to discuss
votes for women and uniform laws
which the women want The House
OF Governors has been the recipient OF
a bombardmeut OF letters from woman's
suffrage organizations all over the
country, asking that they please do
something or at least show where the
House stands on the issue The House
lodges the issue.
The duties of the governors are cx-
ecutive, not legislative" said Governor
Wilson, of Kentucky, explaining.
1t seems to me that the questions Of
the popular election OF senators and the
income tax amendment are very i'm
portant," said Gov. Norris, democrat,
If Montana, later.
There is likelihood that an insur-
gent movement may develop among
the eastern governors who will demand
that these issues be discussed before
the governors start for their homes.
This morning the house of governors
moved from Frankfort, where it held
its first session, to Louisville, where the
remaining sessions are to be held. Gov
ernor Norris read paper on conser-
vation from the states standpoint
He favors state conservation as
against national conservation. He
called the national conservationists
"faddists,i and made the issue stated
vs. national conservation,

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF.

The jury in the case of Chichester,
administrator of the estate Of the late
Charles A. Waller, against the P, F.
& 7. r. Z. in the Circuit Court of Or
ange returned Monday with verdict
Of So, 900 for the plaintiff, SO, 900 to
the children and $4,000 to Mrs. Waller.
The railroad company will appeal the
case again. The damages awarded arc
the same given in the first trial OF the
suit, which was appealed to the Court
OF Appeals by the company and re-
vcrsed.
Waller, who was employed as &
brakeman by the company, met his
death at finders in 1908 by falling from
4 car and beneath the wheels of the
moving train. According to the plain
tiff claim the accident was due to the
negligence on the part of the company,
while the latter contends that Walters
death was entirely accidental and could
not be avoided.
