NEW RULES TO
GOVERN RACING
Rigid Lines Dayn Between
Amateurs and Professional
hiOt5rbOat Drivers

The lines on the professional we're
drawn tighter. or at least recon-
mendation to that effect was made
by the National Council Of the Amer
ican Power Boat Association. which
met at the Bollevue-Stratford. Phil
adclpbia last week.
II. S. Koerner, president of the as
scciation read prepared address on
sae subject OF professionalism in
which he said that The offering Of
cash prizes IN motorboat races was
bringing about a deporable state OF
affairs
He said that the, accepting Of a.
cash prize in the shape Of a convert
ed trophy was an evasion Of the
rules. regardless OF the fact that the
rules were interpreted SO this year.
The question Of the drawing the
lines tighter on the amateur question
caused long discussion
Some Of the council wanted to GO

Assembly

Hartford, Jan. 1.-THE state Senate
this morning, took the first step to-

may not produce harmony. After a
conference of Democratic Senators in
which Senator Perry, the minority
leader, took part, Senator Mcneil pre-
select committee to consider the joint
rules and propose amendment to them.
The resolution names as the mem berS
of that committee Senators Landers,
Perrys@Speaker Webster of the House
and Minority Leader Thoms.
In supporting the resolution, Sena-
tor Mcneil called the present rules
he desired reasonable representation
on the joint committees. Senator
Perry took exception to the cOndern-
nation of the time-honored rule and
objected to the appointment of the
committee on that basis.
Senator Landers said that if this
committee was appointed it was his
be referred to it.
Senator Keeney was very definite in
his assertion that tine two houses
were not likely to get together.
The resolution was passed and
transmitted to the House and a recess
taken.
Very little business has been done
in either house. The only legislation
introduced const@ted of a couple of
drawing of life insurance policies.

GREAT TRIUMPH

Greater success could not have at
tended the minstrel show produced by
the knights of Columbus at the Lyric
theatre last evening. Greeted By an
audience that far surpassed the seat
ing capacity of the theatre. the show
proved a capital production through
out, and its presentation, in even the
smallest detail, was along the lines Of
the leading professiontl minstrel per
formances.
The show ran for more than three
hours, the encores being 50 euthusi-
astic and persistent that it was uu-
usually prolonged. Flowers galore
greeted the various principals. the
chorus gave forth a volume OF melody
that would do credit to a veteran
troupe.
One of the features of the opening

Frank Ruch entertained with a
opening feature of the oIiO. He en-

was capitally staged. Lester Burdiclc

of girls and boys in blackface as the
next feature. Then came twenty min

Regnery and Vincent Ben

The most effective laughing number
was that of Captain Casey and his
traffic squad. James r. Casey ap.s

LAUNDRYMAN IN

ASSAILANT FLEES
Badly Done Up Celestial Dis.
covered by School Children
He Will Recover

Leon Gin, Chinese laundry pro-
prietor at. 788 Broad street, lies badly
wounded at st. Vincent's hospital
where he was taken after he was
found lying unconscious in a pool OF
blood in the front of his shop by
school children yesterday afternoon
His supposed assailant, Santo Sciotini
or Santonini, a barbershop proprietor,
is missing. AS no eye witnesses OF
the affair have as yet been found by
the police, the actual happenings lead
ing up to the nurderous assault are
not fully authenticated, but from the
position of the wounds as well as the
upset condition of the premises, it is
believed that the 1aundryman was at
tackled from the back, and while bad
ly wounded defended himself until
loss of blood caused him to drop ex-
hausted to the floor where he lay at
the mercy of his opponent.
Wild runaors in the vicinity of the
store yesterday va.riously credited his
wounds to a knife, razor and hatchet-
1t has been aseertained that after
leaving the store by the front door
Sciotini went into his shop, washed
his bloody hands and in white coat
and apron made his escape through a
rear yard livery stable.
The laundrynan asserted that when
refusing change to Sciotini argu-
ment had ensued after which Sciotdnl
had returned with a weapon and in
At ST. Vincent's the victim was
placed upon the operating table upon
admission and his wounds carefully
cleaned. There were three, all SUI
perhciaI. The first was in the upper
angle of the right shoulder blade, one
below the bone and third upon the
right arm If infection does not fol-
low, he will recover within a week,
greatly weakened from the
of blood lost.
An aII-nfgnt search Of the city by
detectives and patrolmen assigned to
capture Sa1Ito Sciorteno, the assailant
of Leong Gin, resulted in the &appre-
hension of his cousin, Don SciortenO,
long sought for assault upon John G.

Don was located at II Higgins ave
