tempts to bring both subjects to
vote were defeated by the inabil-

The plan for federal aid to pub
lie road building in the states will
be considered Monday, and a vote
taken on several important
amendments pending. This will
be followed by a vote on Senator

$4,000 to $1100. Senator Clapp OF
Minnesota declares the rural car
riers would still be underpaid al
this figure. Senator Gronna de-
manded a greater increase OF
compensation for carriers, whose

EMPl0YE
WILL Make
CONFESSION


New York, Aug. i0.-In q start
ling exposure Of the gambling sit
uation, the Hearst newspapers
will publish the confession Of an
employee of ane Of the wealthiest
gambling houses in New Cork, q
man who has been in the business
for q number Of years.
"The net profits of the gam
blers Of New York for the past
eight years have been 3,0O0,-
more than $12O,00O,000. The
profits of the gambling houses
dwindled steadily from 1905 to
1909, but since Mayor Gaynor's
inauguration the profits have been
climbing by leaps and bounds. In
1911 the gamblers cleared $14,-
100000; in 1910, the first year
Of the Gaynor administration, the
total was $i2,900,000. During
these two years there was NO
race track open in New York, YET
the; figures are higher than when
racetrack gambling was at its
height:.'''
The man who makes the above
statement acted as collector for
the gamblers on "credit" bets
placed by men who seemed to be
able TO meet such obligations. He
tells Of the connivance to two
newspapers TO terrify gamblers
who played on credit and then re-
fused to pay their losses.
