 The stories told by Wernan and Keevers differ materially. Werman said that because he had left his wagon in the way of Keevers car the latter became angry and punched him in the eye. He denied any assault himself. Werman is a garbage col fector employed by City Collector Fur man.
 Keevers told the authorities that Werman's wagon was in front of his car and he drove it to one side when the owner came rushing out and struck him across the legs with a heavy shovel. Werman raised the shovel to continue the assault when he punched him, Keevers said.

HUGHES RACETRACK
 LAW IS SATISFACTORY
So Wires Governor Whitman in Re- sponsc to Baltimore
 Query.

Baltimore, Md, March 23--John T. Stone, president of the Maryland Casualty company, gave out yester- day a copy of a telegram from Gov ernor Whitman of New York, refer ring to the Hughes Anti-Race Track law in that state, which the governor declares has been successful.
 Stone also made public the result of an investigation made by one of the officials of his company, which showed that many defalcations have occurred as a result of betting on horses at the Maryland tracks.
 Backed by fresh proofs of ruina- tion to young men and their families from race track gambling, Stone con- tends that law should be passed by the present legislature prohibiting race track gambling.
 It has been claimed by some of the advocates of the track that the Hughes law in New York did not eliminate betting and Stone sent the following telegram to Governor Whit man:
 We are interested in abolishing race track gambling in Maryland be- cause of embezzlements and defal- cations resulting thereform. Matter now before legislature. Advocates charge Hughes law in New York was worst blow to decent racing country has ever had; that it did not stop betting, but made it worse. Will be grateful for telegram from you stating whether or. not these charges against Hughes law arc true"
 The New York Executive sent this wire in reply:
 Answering your telegram, the Hughes law has been, on the whole, successful. It has accomplished all that can be accomplished by statutes to prevent race track gambling. The people of our state do not believe that it has been serious blow to decent racing"
