IND, GAMB[IN
|. BILL UNLIKELY
To PASS

ANNAPOLIS. Md, March L.
Delegate Irwin c.. Hamilton, of
Cumberland, has introduced his bill
providing for heavy penalties. fines.
and imprisonment for betting or
gambling in any form at the race
tracks of the State.
The long delay in introducing the
bill, however, together with certain
complications which have arisen.
make the passage OF the bill most
unlikely.
The bill has been referred to the
ways and means committee of the
house of delegates. the committee
which considers all matters relating
to the finances of the State. 1t is
likely to strike a snag there, as the
bill provides that it shall go into
effect July /. 1929.
As the budget for the next two
years is based partly upon expected
receipts from the race tracks. the
bill viii be strongly opposed on
the ground that it will upset the
finances of the State.
1t is generally thought that the
bill with its late introduction and
the financial complication, has very.
little chance of passing. 1t is also
true that the support of the bin IS
little organized at this time.

With his mind a complete
blank and with a mystery sur
rounding his adventures after
receiving his monthly pay at
Boiling Field yesterday, David
Gardner, private soldier, about
80 years old, today is being
treated at Gallinger Hospital.
The amnesIae victim knew neither
his name. his whereabouts. nor his
station in life when he walked up
to Policeman ]. L. ,Rinker. at Penn:
syIvania Avenue and Fourteenth
Street Northwest, last night. and
asked him; What town am in?"
Further converse developed the
fact that the soldier, then dressed
in citizens clothes. was In real
know nothing" condition. and he
was taken to police headquarters,
where persistent efforts to revive
his mental functioning proved futile.
There were no marks Of violence
on him, no evidence that he had
met with foul play.
He had only 90 cents in his pocket,
however, out OF the months
pay which ne had drawn in the
morning.
Gardnsr's identity was established
early today when officers at Boil.
ing Field read the story of the
mentally blank man picked UP by
the police and went over to Calm
ger Hospital to find out IL possible
what had happened to him.
All Gardner could say was that

Europe was approximately 10000

that Europe is In another interglacial

CHICAGO. March | tLN, 81
Col. Robert w. Stewart, chairman
OF the board Of directors of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
was in personal charge today of
the fight to retain control against
John d. Rockefeller. jr., of his
100000, 900 corporation.
With the battle due for a show.
down within d short time, Colonel
Stewart, in his first public an.
nOuncement dealing with proxies,
declared he had proxies from $4,000
of the eompany's 81 600 stock
holders.
The Stewart statement follows, In
part: HThe statement issued last.
night by the Rockefeller proxy com
mittee. who claim that their com
mittee now has 81 per cent of the
stock and the proxies of 16. 900
stockholders, and there are is 900
employees who own stock in the
company and that many of whom
would have executed Rockefeller
proxies had they not been afraid of
losing their jobs, is another mani
festation of the amazing ignorance
concerning the affairs OF the com.
pany.
Instead of $4,000 employees who
own stock and are qualified voters,
the actual number is only 1913.
Knowing that tremendous major.
ity of the stockholders have signed
proxies in favor of me. they en-.
deavored to deceive the stockholders

None of the Rockefeller companies
plans has the provision OF an an.
peal to the Department of Labor,
which is real test of whether an
employe council plan is founded in
equity or is mere sop thrown to
the employees"
Colonel Stewart added that 99.67
per cent Of the 1913 employees of his
company who own stock have exc
cuted proxies in his favor. He added
that no coercion was used and that
the employees were free to use their
proxies as they wished.
