Enormous SluSh Fund.

New York, Dec. In addition 10
the so-called "slush fund" of $780,
900 alleged to have been raised by
interests associated with racing tn
fight the Hughes anti-gambling bills,
the organized racing association and
the Jockey club expended ''for legal
fees" in excess of $264,000, in op-
posing the bills. This was developed
by the New York legislative graft in
vestlgating committee today through
the examination of former Senator
William II. Reynolds. president bf
the Metropolitan Jockey club, and
Victor A. Schaunburn, secretary of
the Coney Island Jockey club.
This Is an amazing sum to be ex-
pended in opposing racing legisla-
ton" said Judge NJ. Linn Bruce, chief
counsel of the committee, today. 1--WE
will call witnesses sufficient TO find
out how this money could have been
expended as II seems inconceivable
that more than quarter of n mil
lion dollars could have been legally
expended In fighting a bill that was
under consideration less than six
months"
Before Reynolds testified the com
mittee took up the question of pure
milk legislation. probing allegations
had combined to secure the passage
of law allowing the sale of infer
ior quality of milk.

Drunks Who do Not Pay
Must go to Works.
FIRST DELINQUENT TO SUFFER
Plan Will be Adopted at
Once.
Attorneys Question Mayor Settlers
Right To Pursue Such Course
But His Honor Says he is Right
And Refuses TO Back Down.

"The next drunk who comes In here
is fined and then fails to pay his
fine will go to the workhouse to
stay there until he pays the fine or
works 1t out" This is the announce
ment OF Mayor j. G.. Setter today
after letting out a bunch yesterday
that he had held from five to ten
days for non-payment of their fines.
The mayor is sore about the way
he has been fooled by drunks. He
told one the other day: "You promise
to pay, do you? Well this room here
Is full of promises. You could take
knife and cut a bunch they are SO
thick. Now, you are either going To
pay or stay in Jail until you do pay"
He paid.
Attorneys question the right Of the
mayor to send any one to the work
house for non-payment of a fine fol
drunkenness. They say that the or
dinance and the statute covering the
offense both state that the fine shall
be IS and there is no mention of i'm
prisonment. 1t Is under statute
which says that where the mayor has
right to send a defendant to the
payment of fine that he may be
sent to the workhouse instead, that
the mayor expects to send them to
the workhouse. But here legal authorl
ties say he is in error as that statute
does not in any way refer to or COW
er the statute or the ordinance regu-
lating the punishment for drunken
ness.
The mayor has heard this argued
number of times but is far from
being convinced. 1t Will be interesting
when the occasion arises and the ma
yor puts into effect his prenun-
cimiento of today. Perhaps an in
teresting point, having to do with
practice in the police court, will have
to be settled by higher tribunal.
Mayor Setter is confident that, ii
there is workhouse sentence at
tached, drunkenness will be mater
tally lessened here. That is his rea-
son for deciding upon the new course
of procedure.

Another entertaining program was
given by the Morning Musical club
at the parish house this morning be-
fore an exceedingly appreciative
audience.
The opening number was a paper
read by Mrs. Charles Allen on Or
chestral instruments, prepared by Mrs
Gedtge Schweinfurth. The subject
was handled in a skillful and enter
tanning manner, the author showing
the evolution of the different instru-
ments their use in orchestral work,
the value placed on their aid to music
and the different construction of each.
The subject of the paper was especl-
ally opportune, coming just as 1t did
after the concert given locally in
which the use of the various instru-
ments was noticed.
Miss Rhea Munnell gave very ar
tictic rendition of Debussy's Valse
Romantique. Ting Ling Foo. a dainty
little Japanese song was sung by Miss
Florence Shaw in a very pleasing
manner. (a) Call of the birds and (b)
Alarm clock, were two piano solos
played by Miss Matte Meredith with

Sadamae Allen gave her audience an
especial pleasure, when she sang two
French songs in the French language.
The songe were Les Berceaux and
Roses DIspahan, by Saint-Saens.
Miss Bowen gave an excellent redn-
dition OF Brassin's Nocturne. (a) La
Cloche by Saint-Saens and (b) Rose

tlcularly pleasing selections sung by
Mrs. b. L. Wallace. Mrs. Harry Ram

At Louisville.
Rv United Press Wire.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 1.-When
| criminal court convened today for the
trial of Joseph Vending. the COM
monwcalth again took up its task of
marshalng the facts which point to
Joseph Vending as the murderer of
| nine -ycar-old Alma Kellner.
In Wednesdays testimony the COM
| monwealth presented a case that look
| ed ugly for the defendant. II was
shown that Vending had sole charge
of the premises. Four women saw the
| child resembling Alma Kellner in
church and the janitor was noticed
watching her suspiciously They were
left alone in the church
Father Schuhmann smelled pecu-
liar odor "a few days later, which
Vending said was due to burnins :
rags
The glove and shoe found on the
premises were identified as Alma
Kellner's.
James Priton, "A meter reader for
the gas company, gave damaging tes-
timony against Vending yesterday.
He said the church meter was in the
music room over the cellar i'm which
the child's body was found. He was
accustomed to get the key hanging
over the door to the music room. In
December after the child disappeared
the key was not there. He found
Vending had 1t. When he asked
Vending for it, he objected and said
there was no use to read the meter
as no gas was used. When he insist
ed ,Wendling said: well. by God,
If you must go in, you must" and
gave him the key.
The first witness of the morning
was Dr. j. c. Budy, dentist. He was
shown a tooth found with the jaw
bone. and said the filings were ex-
actly the same as he had done foI
Alma Kellner
Policeman Jerry Quill testified that
on the night the child disappeared
he went to st Johns church and
| found Vending sitting on the steps
apparently watching, although It was
bitter cold. Vending had bulls
eye lantern. He shoewd Quill around
the premises.
Detective Burke, of San francisco
told of arrcsting Winding. The pris-
oner said he left home to get away
| from his wife and changed his name
to elude her. Burke said that when
Carney told Vending he was accus-
| ed of murder, Vending said: "If
| kill little girl nobody but God see and
| He can't come down to tell"
Evidence tending to show a per-
verted strain in Vending was Civ.

Frank Fehr, the millionaire brew,
cr, cousin of the Kellners, who led the
search for the child, told of going to
St Johns church January IA. He
asked Father Schulhmann about his
help and whether the panitor was

The defense objected to the identi-
Rcation of this man as Wendllng as
that was the day Vending disap-
peared.
There was buzz of interest in the
courtroom when Mrs. Cora Munea
took the stand. She is milliner OF
Hume, Missouri, whom Vending met
in Houston, Texas, last February and
who gave the police the clues that
led to the capture, Mrs. Munea told
of meeting Wendler who went under
the name Of Henry Jacquemin.

dark gloom, began to settle about
Jack Johnson today although friends
of the big black who are assisting
him in getting off some of the weight
he has picked up of late, are wear
ing broad smiles. Since his return
from the East Johnson has been
pounding the boulevards near his
home but as it has been three days
since he saw his automobile he is
beginning to get homesick for the

Johnson has nearly driven the

said today she was beginning to wish
the cars would show up as she fears
Jack will buy another one.
