ILLINOIS TRACKS
TO BAR HOBBIES

Chicago. January 3.-There is fear
horsemen who campaign over
the Illinois valley Racing Association
tracks that hobbies may disrupt the
OH organization before the meeting
scheduled for Ottawa, Ill, is termi
mated.
The directors are equally divided as
to the use of hobbies. President Aid
rich, of the association, is leading the
fight for free going horses. He and
his supporters will fight to have all
horses barred off the Illinois tracks
which cannot trot or pace without the
use of straps. basing their stand on
the fact that the American TrottinS
and Racing Association has barred the
hobbled horses from it's affiliated tracks
after 1915.
Those who believe in getting the
speed out of the animals, 10 matter
how. retort that the Hartford associa-
ton. the ruling body in the East, has
sanctioned the use of hobbies.

The One Clew.

1t is not fancy or Imagination that
ascribes SO much to the fortunate cir
cumstances of an automobile number
murderers did not trouble to remove or
to falsify. The crime and the fight
were so cunningly planned by experts
in assassination that it is doubtful if
the gun men w would have been
identified or Becker. their employer,
exposed had not they been guilty of
unbelievable stupidity in a trivial mat
ter. District Attorney Whitman has
said more than once that the case
would have been hopeless if the car
number had not been obtained.
The whole work Of a year was based
on that. If the number had been lost
there would have been no arrests hot
after the murder: no confessions by
Rose and Weber and Vallon and
Schepps: no conviction Of Lieutenant
Becker and Of the gun men; no Curran
quent convictions of Inspectors Swee-
ney. Hussey. Murtha and Thompson
and of their tools and collectors; no
probing Of the relations between
! t~reacherous policemen and their vile
business partners: no such awakening
