force was augmented by the arrival
here of a special train bearing almost
200 men from New Orleans. These

At,each session Of the Legislature
since 1908, when horse race gambling
was abolished in Louisiana, there has
been talk of introducing a bill to regu-
late and restore the sport. Not until
this session was such a bill put for
ward, however. Four weeks ago the
Reinhardt bill was introduced. At
first 1t was not generally taken Sc.
riously because even many of those
| who favored it did not think it had a
chance. It's friends began to grow
in, numbers, however, until the whole
state was aroused. The brief cam.
paign for and against it was marked
by rec mass.meetings In New Or
leans. two for and one against 1t:
Women,s' organizations took action
and ministers preached about it
Those against the bill made no at
tempt to, marshal their forces to win
in the preliminary votes. but waited
until Tuesday, when a motion was
made to advance it to third reading
and passage. This was amended tc

ment carried. y.

This was the first test vote after

The most optimistic senators who IA
vored repeal had not expected the

bill itself can be put through by so
great a margin.
Nine democratic senators-Ashurst,

Several, however, are expected to vote
for the repeal bill, while several repub.

would provide that though the repeal

BALLOONS CAUGHT IN STORM
Lightning Strikes One During Race
in Northwest - Pigeon Brings
Newo-location Uncertain.

Portland, Ore.-Anxiety prevails
here regarding the fate Of three Of the
four balloons which started from here
in the first national balloon race ever
held in the northwest. Shortly after
their departure the aircraft were
caught in a terrific wind, thunder and
lightning storm. Definite knowledge
of the storms treatment Of the bal.
looms is confined to a single case.
The Uncle Sam, piloted by Capt.
Honeywell Of st. Louis and carrying
as a passenger DR.. w. I. Stewart, was
driven to earth near Oregon City.
Honeywell and Stewart were not In
jured. Later a carrier pigeon fluttered
into its cote here. Tied to it was a bit
| of paper and on it was written: "Bal.
loon struck by lightning. Berry hurt.
Come quick. Morrison"
The balloon Of which Capt. John
Berry is pilot is the Million Popula-
ton club of st. Louis. The passenger
was George G. Morrison.
Morrison made no mention Of the
balloons location. It is thought here
that If it was not wrecked in the dense
forests Of the Cascade mountains II
may have been stranded In the sparse
ly settled plateau that stretches be
yond the western slopes.
An hour after the first carrier ar
rived another pigeon, minus its tai
feathers, flew In. There was no mes
sage attached to 1t. 1t, to, is believed
to have been loosed from the Millior
Population club.
Nothing has been heard from thu
Kansas City III, piloted by John Watts
and the Springfield, piloted by Ro!
Donaldson. Every possible effort hal
been made to locate the missing bal
looms.
