that Japan should now insist upon her

That State Is Con
cerned.

New Orleans, May 26.-The sudden
an unexpected passage by the Louis
lama constitutional convention last
night Of measure which prevents
the transmission, publication of in
formation concerning odds on horse
races brought up today the question
ol what effect it will have on horse
racing in the state.
A variety of opinions were offered
by attorneys and others, ranging from
a belief that the action will stop rae
ing altogether, to the opinion that the
Whole question is an interstate mat
ter and therefore the state cannot
regulate it.
The measure was offered as an
amendment to the schedule of the
general provisions committee, which
reads:
Gambling is a vice and the legisla-
turc shall enact laws to suppress it.
Being introduced without previous
notice, the amendment was made the
subject Of one of the most interest
ing although brief parliamentary bat
ties YET waged in the convention. The
final vote on its passage was So ayes
to 4 nays m
The amendment came ias a bolt
from a clear sky. The convention had
the schedule Of the appropriation
committed under consideration and
was near an end when Rep. Brazeale
proposed the following is a new or
dirancc.
The transmission, publication or
circulation Of information concerning
horses entered in races or the odds
offered for same is prohibited. The
legislature shall provide penalties for
the violation thereof"
The point was made that it was a
new ordinance and under the rules it
could not he introduced as such with
out the consent of the convention.
President Bouanchaud sustained the
point OF order, whereupon Brazeale
ffe. ed it as an amendment to the
provisions of the general schedules
committee. A motion to lay it on the
table was voted down 66 to 43.
