GOVERNORS END
THEIR NEE TING.
viii Organize For More Work
and Less Play Next Year.
FAVOR DIRECT PRIMARIES
LouisviTle's Whining and Dining Has
Kept Them Too Busy to Allow
Time for Discussion-A Plea
for Woman's Suffrage.

Louisville, Ky.--The third annual
conference of the house of governors
came to close following short So
eret session at which plans for the
meeting next September at Spring
Lake, N. T., were discussed It was
decided that dinners, receptions and
other entertainments will not in fu-
ture be permitted during the confer
ence, as time is consumed by them
which the governors believe should
be devoted to questions of impor-
lance
Heretofore the cities in which the
conferences have been held have wed
with one another in entertaining, and
matters of moment have been forced
to wait. Another resolution UNDER
stood to have been adopted at the Sc
eret session was that in future all
governors will pay their own ex-
penses and will stop only at hotels.
"A resumption of the discussion ON
direct primaries, which began at the
conclusion Of an able address by Gov.
John Franklin Fort of New Jersey,
was the feature of the meeting.
Governor Fort made strong plea
for direct primaries. He said that
money was rapidly losing its hold az
factor in elections, and that young
men with high ideals are more and
more becoming factors in politics.
He said that if the rules of the pri-
mary system are observed "bossism"
is impossible. Party organizations
should try to elect, but have nothing
to do with selecting nominees, he de-
c1ared.
He was followed by Governor Dra-
per of Massachusetts, who declared
that the people OF his state felt that
the system is not an Improvement
over the convention system. He be-
lieved that the direct primary system
would, of necessity. cost more.
Gov. Herbert S. Hadley Of Missouri
said il was apparent to students of
public affairs that the direct primary
had come to stay, and it was tho
abuses of the convention system that
had made it possible.
Governor Ansel of South Carolina
and Governor Noel of Mississippi par
ticipated in the discussion also. Both
favored the direct primary system
Governor Hadley introduced res
olution providing that each governor
should report to the others the result
Of Investigations by commissions into
the liability and compensation acts OF
their states ii was adopted. ss.
At the afternoon session Governor
Wilson asked that Miss Laura Clay.
president Of the Kentucky Equal
Rights association, be allowed to ad-
dress the conference. Miss Clay made
an appeal to the governors to recon-
mend equal suffrage to their legisla-
lures.

MEAT GENERALLY LOWER.
Reports From Several Cities Show
Reductions in Various Cuts.


New York. An inquiry made in
New York and in several other large
centres of population seems to indi-
cate that in the majority Of the places
the retail butchers have been made to
feel the influence of the general cut
in the wholesale price of meat and
that consumers are now getting some
of their meat at considerable reduc-
ton from the price a month ago.
In certain sections of New York
city the price Of lamb has fallen 20
per cent. Rib roast is from three to
five cents a pound cheaper, and there
is like reduction in porterhouse and
sirloin steaks.
In Philadelphia the price Of pork
has fallen somewhat, but the price of
the best cuts of beef and lamb re-
main stationary. Buffalo reports de-
clines ranging from two to four cents
a pound on pork and beef products.
In Boston beef and pork are mate
rally cheaper. The best cuts of beef
have been reduced fully S cents a
pound. Lamb and veal are station
airy. Out in Indianapolis beef prices
are steady, but reductions on pork
run from one-half to three cents.

MILLION SPENT
BY RACE TRACKS
Huge Corruption Fund Used to
Fight Hostile Legislation.
PAID BIG LEGAL FEES
Treasurer Sturgis Says So - Legal
Services Included ''Daily Confer

Citations Raised S125,O0O.

New York. Leads to amazing
revelations concerning the boodling
operations of the race track lobby at
Albany were opened up by the joint
legislative investigating committee.
Based upon estimates made by
members of the committee and it's
counsel, it seems likely that before
the inquiry is closed it will be shown
that more than million dollars was
raised by the race track interests in
1908 to defeat the Agnew-Hart law.
The books of the Jockey club,
brought to the hearing by Frank K.
Sturgis, banker and secretary-treas-
urer of the club, show that in 1907
more than $4,000 was paid on the
authority of August Belmont as chair
man of the club to defeat the Cassidy
bill, which sought to increase the tax
on the gross receipts of racing asso-

All of this money went to e. p.
Coyne as legal fees" Coyne was
retained by the racing interests the
next year to beat the Hughes anti
gambling bills. According to Mr..
Sturgis, Coyne was employed in that
capacity on the recommendation of
James w. Wadsworth, Jr., at that
time speaker of the assembly.
The million-dollar corruption fund
seems to have come from two sources
the eight racing associations and
the bookmakers, under the name of
the Metropolitan Turf association.
Assistant District Attorney Elder
of Brooklyn already has testified that
former State Senator Frank Gardner,
who was employed as lobbyist by
the racing interests, told him that at
meeting at Delmonico's at the open
ing of the fight on the anti-race track
bills, fund of half million dollars
was subscribed by James r. Keene,
Henry Payne Whitney, Schuyler Par
sons, Charles H. Hyde for his broth
er-in-law, Engemann, and other
wealthy horsemen, and was sent to
Albany to be disbursed.
1t was brought out by M. Linn
Bruce and his assistant, Isador Kre-
sci, that the bookmakers' combine
probably contributed as much as
100000 to the corruption fund in
1908 in desperate effort to save the
gambling monopoly they had enjoyed
for SO many years. This estimate is
based upon the belief that the 200
members of the Metropolitan Turf
association we're assessed $4,000 each
for the fund.

FALL HUNTING SEASON
HAS COST 113 LIVES
Eghty-one Persons Injured Through
out the Union-Fatalities
New Record.

Chicago.-The hunting season of
1910 cost 113 lives. This is consider
ably more than were killed during
any previous season of record. The
loss of life in 1909 was 81; in 1908,
So; in 1907, so, and in 1906, "a.
The number of injured this season,
however, is smaller than year ago,
only 81 having been hurt this year,
against 104 for the season of 1909.
It is likely the death list this year
will be considerably increased later
by reason of the fatal termination in
the cases of many of the injured.
mistaken for DEER and "shot
by companion" continue to lead as
the reasons for the shootings of hunt
ers. 1t is small wonder there are so
many cases OF hunters being mistaken
for game, as in some states the for
ests practically are alive with hunters
during the season. The state game
warden of Michigan estimated that
there were no fewer than $1,000
hunters in the upper peninsula this
year. Carelessness in the handling
of guns Was responsible for most OF
the cases where hunters shot them
selves.
A pathetic incident happened in
Michigan. While hunting near Dry
berg Samuel Smith was killed by his
cousin, True Smith. As some com
paRions started to carry the body
home they came across True Smith,
with his head shattered by load Of
buckshot- In pocket was note
explaining that it was he who had
shot Samuel, and TO atone for his
earelessness he had killed himself.
Another case Of acute remorse Is
recorded at HaIlock. Mimi Walter
Smith, while lighting his pipe, acct
dentally discharged his gun, the con-
tents tearing off the lower part of
Edward Simmons face, including his
tongue. Smith, crazed with grief, or
dered Simmons to do the same to him
or kill him, if he preferred, and hand
ed the iEfigured man his gun. Sim
mons pulled the trigger, and both
men were disfgured for life in practi-
cally the same way. Both may die.

Washington. The acquisition of
aeroplanes for military use is recon-
mended in the annual report of the
board Of ordnance and Notifications.
The report says:
while further improvements in
the mechanical features of aeroplanes
are certainly to be looked for and will
continue to receive the careful con-
sideration and encouragement of the
board, it is the opinion of the board
that the art of aviation is now devel-
oped sufficiently to warrant the pur-
chase by the war department of a
number of aeroplanes of existing
types for the training Of certain Sc
lected officers in the art of flying,
from whose experience valuable in

development of suitable types of mil
