All Betting Now Illegal in New York

The fixing of the liability on the race
track directors themselves put thing,
in an entirely different light.
The laws apparently leave no loor

handbook men, who have done q

put up the shutters and others have
intimated that they will make No
further fight for a play when it may
mean arrest and a Jail term. If any
plan has been devised to evade tho
law 1t is not. generally known. OF
course there are many who will con,
ttnue to bet al they have before, but
the handbook men are looking for new
customers. There is fear and tremb
ling all along the line.
Though horse racing is a favorite
medium for bettors, there is anothe,
sport that will feel the effects of the
new law. It is boxing. At all of the
club affairs there has been plenty OF
bets made on the result, and it has
been the custom to make them openly,
Now it will have to be done under
cover, and then in violation of the
law. "Orally or otherwise" as the law
reads, puts up the bars just about as
tightly as could be imagined.

Today was sentence day in the dis

Probably the most interesting case
was that of A. J. Harris, convicted of
forgeries and uttering forged checks.
When asked If he had any statement
to make before the passing of SEN

extended address, which failed to ~
veal any trend toward insanity. He
put up quite an argument on his be
half, but ii failed to impress the court
very strongly.
When Harris concluded his har

him to the state penitentiary for
term not less than four years and not
more than seven. After court ad-
journed Harris expressed his belief
that he would be pardoned out by
Christmas. He seemed quite hopeful
of getting out of confinement in
short time and seemed to base his
hopes on the strong interest which
Senator DeLong had taken in his case.
In fact he said he was going to write
the senator asking him to stop off and
see him on the senator's return from
the legislature this week. 1t remains
to be seen, however, if Harris former

The school children of Colorado
have added to their heritage hundreds

The population of Colorado has in
creased many thousands by reason of
the land boards policies and the
wealth of the state has been augment

The most fruitful source of graft
in every State outside of the original

ment for the benefit of the school
children, were sold at prices ranging
from fifty cents to 81 an acre.
