Dear Editor of the WHICH, desire
to congratulate you on your recent edi-
torial on the Notorious Race Track"
in Hartford county. You deserve GREAT
CREDIT for showing this business up in
the right light 1t is certainly shame
that the representatives of the people
of our fair State should go down to An
napolis and so misrepresent her decent
voters as to lend their aid to passing
such notorious laws, wholly in the in
terest of gamblers, and crooks. This
bill was put forth as an act to promote
the interests of the farmers and Cover
nor GoldsbOrough was pleaded with to
sign it, because it would help the Bel
Air Fair" (Belair has not had a fair
for a number of years.. THE SNAKE
was pretty well hidden-but he soon
warmed up after the bill was signed If
our three delegates did vote for this
thing it was strange thing for them to
do. ! trust it will appear later that they
did not. From all accounts 1t is worse
than the notorious Iron Hin racing of
recent memory. Keep up your fight.
Mr. Williams, and If you want any help
let us know.
Very sincerely,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1912-09-21

Judge Baker has just finished hearing

All Mailed ct Grand Central.

Although all three bombs bore the
postmark Of the Grand Central Station,
this stiH leaves a very large section Of
the city TO be searched for the exact
point from which they came. Wagons
Of the Grand Central Station collect
from street and Office building and
apartment house boxes from Spring
street 10 Goth street and from Fifth
avenue 10 the East River. There are
also half dozen sub-statons in the dis
trict where the bomb might have been
mailed and from which IL would have
been taken to the Grand Central Sta
ton. This possibility, however, is con-
sidered to have been practically elimi-
mated toy the work on the case already
done by the police and the postoffice in
spectors, who are working together.
Inspectors Jacobs and James, Of the
Postofice Department, have been spe-
cially detailed TO the case while Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty has q dozen Of

The Commissioner still adheres to the
theory that the man, when caught, will
oe found to be a man who has been well
AnoWn for many years and has de-
Neioped paranoia OF character that
makes him consider himself specially set
apart TO right the wrongs Of the world.
commissioner Dougherty thinks that
