 Judge Shook denied the motion and then made another ruling favor able to the state.
 At adjournment yesterday Elston had asked Miss Ruth Holmes Rcmus. daughter of the slain wom- an. whether she had told reporters after the shooting that her father acted like a crazy. insane man.
 The prosecution objected that Elston was anticipating his defense and Judge Shook today upheld the prosecution.
 Hence Elston must recall Miss Remus as a defense witness if he is to put such statement in evidence.
 Elston's objections to the alienists' report were made on two grounds, first. that the law permitting such a report was unconstitutional. and second, that it was incomplete with out hearing the defendants case.
 The state rested its case shortly before noon.

HORSE RAGING
 LOSING FAVOR England Begins to Fear for
 Popular Sport

Manchester, Englan, Nov. 26 P) English horse racing is going to the dogs in more ways than through the trend in favor of greyhound rac- ing.
 As the season for flat racing closed today. its followers looked back upon dreary year, with the worst weather for years, the small lest crowds, the fans harassed by the betting tax and threatened with the pari- betting system, to say nothing of the new rival sport of greyhound racing, imported from America-old England has never seen such a horse racing season and never wants to see another.
 Companies owning tracks and racing tablishments report losses and bookmakers are upset because the government Is interfering with their activities.
 By next season the betting tax may be supplemented by the pari- mutuel system. The English race goer doesn't take kindly to machine made wagering. He likes to risk his money with picturesque book maker in a loud, checked suit, a satchel around his neck, heavy gold watch chain, and placard on his hat "The Old Girm."
 Nobody knows whether greyhound racing is g. fad or a permanent love with the British public. Never be- fore has a sport established itself so quickly in England. Tracks are being built all over Great Britain and companies formed overnight as during oil and real estate booms. Dogs can't be found to supply the demand.

AL though the Canadian and American governments have been in prolong- ed negotiation over the matter. there has been no sign that the ap- plication of the strict immigration law provision would be delayed, a period granted for foreign born Canadian citizens to straighten out their status expires December ], and the point now uppermost is whether the immigration service will allow any extension after that date.
