MICKEY CENARO FALLS INTO BIT
 OF GREAT LUCK
Holds Half of Ticket on Golden Miller in Sweep
 stakes

Mickey Genaro, very well known Waterbury boxer and a lighting nomad" for the past five years dur ing which time he has boxed in half of these United States, to say nothing of few appearances In Cuba and Mexico, may have had a little bad luck on decisions against him during his long and varied career, but there Is noth- ing unlucky about his present predicament. Only last Friday night he won a sizzling ten round star bout in Phoenix, Arizona, ther went on to Hollywood where he joined the stable of Maxie Rosen- bloom, former worlds light-heavy- weight champion.
 Rosenbloom and Genaro got to be pals. They decided to take q little flyer on an Irish Sweep stakes ticket, calling for an invest ment of $2.60 on the race to be run tomorrow in Aintrce, England. Their investment brought them a ticket on the horse Golden Miller, winner of last years Sweepstakes in record time, and q short odds favorite to repeat tomorrow. IT he wins, Rosenbloom and Genaro will split more than $143,OO0. As it is they already have $500 coming on him, once he starts in the race. The two boxers are re- ported to have refused a $25,OOO offer for the ticket.
 All of which seems that Lady Luck has laughed out loud, and with them, not at them. though both have had their share of dis appointments in and out of the ring,

 Message of Gov.
MECHANIZED GAMBLING

Exploiting of All Classes of People For Benefit
 of a Few

Hartford, Conn, March 28 - (UP) - Hopes for legal ized horse racing in Connecti- cut were shattered today when the house sustained the gov ernor's veto of the bill by a 235-16 vote.
 It definitely killed off enact ment of a racing bill at this session. The vote came with in ten minutes after the veto message was read to the house by Majority Leader Daniel Hickey, republican, Stamford.
 The same body previously had passed the measure by a vote of 129-121 and sent 1t on to the senate where the vote was 27-S in It's favor.
 Senate Cannot Change It Whatever action the senate takes will not alter the situation and racing was declared shelved. The veto came unexpectedly, inc asmuch as it generally was re- garded the governor would give his approval.
 Considerable pressure had been brought to bear on the executive during the past week from civic and church organizations. Many pastors denounced the bill from their pulpits.
 Still awaiting action in commit- tee is a similar proposal to legalize uR aVNd Ntx aEyf spelled its defeat.

 'The motive behind this bill, !" the governor wrote, lis clearly not the improvement of the breeding of horses for speed. nor is 1t the promotion of horse racing as a sport.
 Tt appears to be primarily a mechanizezd gambling scheme on I a large scale for exploiting all classes of the people, the poor as | well as the rich, for the benefit of a few, with the state as partner.

 Quintuplets Verified
Provincial Police Know the Plotters But Cannot Arrest Them Babies Are 10 Months Old To-day-Every
 Care Is Being Taken to Guard Them
Copyright, 1885. by United Prcss)

Copyright, 1885, by United Prcss) Callander, Ont, March 2S.- UP).-The existence of we'll organized plot to kidnap the Dionne quintuplets was certified today by the provincial police.
 The United Press learned that the plotters are known but can not be arrested because no overt acts were committed.
 The plan of the would-be kid napers, 1t was learned, was to steal the babies from Dafoe hospital and take them across the United States border by automobile.
 There they would have been put on exhibition for profit. Dis covery of the alleged plot pre- vented it from being carried out and now Dafoe hospital is guarded day and night by provincial po- lice in uniform.
 Another precaution against kid naping has been taken within the hospital. A nurse now sleeps in the same room with the "quins." Today the five Dionne babies are 10 months old. Their weight has increased an average of one pound each in the last month. They sleep well and laugh out loud. Dr A, k. Dafoe, who delivered the babies, says that their intelligence is above the average.

MASS. VILLAGE
 GOES SBANKRUPT

Miilville, Mans, Feb. 20-(UP) A police station with no police- men in itg fire hydrants empty of water, street lights with not a light showing--this is the physical evi- dence that MillviIIe has a treasury bare of funds. Once O busy little community, today more than half the land in Millville has been condemned for taxes. What prop erty is left in private hands is largely supported by the HOLC. A large part of the residents are on the D. R. A. The tax rate, ale though limited by law to $39.60, has been raised by increasing val- nations until now 1t would be around $75 at the old values.
 Crushed by these burdens, Mill- vile is ready to give up the ghost. A plan has been drawn up by which the town will be absorbed by its neighbor Uxbridge, but Ux- bridge is not very enthusiastic about assuming the responsibility. Instead 1t suggests that Millville be divided among the surrounding towns. Millville doesn't care. Mill vile is dead.

even their own membership in line, however, and Chase was ac- quilted. This case, the only impeach- ment of Supreme Court Justice, helped to make firmer the place of Marshall and the rest of the federal Judiciary.
 Then followed series of im- portant decisions by the Supreme Court, each strengthening the cause of union, federal power, and the Supreme Court as the last word in interpreting the Con- stitution.
 In Fletcher vs. Peck he court as- serted it's power to annual state laws it considered contrary to the federal Constitution, and denied that states could pass laws impair ing the obligation of contracts.
 WEBSTER PLEADED CAUSE
 Next came the famous Dart mouth College case, argued so forcefully and emotionally by Daniel Webster. C'It is, sir, as I have said, small college. And yet, there are those who love 1t .D
 The state of New Hampshire had passed law reorganiZing the college under public control | despite it's old private charter from the king in -Revolu- tionary days. MarshalPs opinion stated clearly that this old charter was a contract, not to be impared by state action without violating the Constitution.
 Many lawyers consider Mar shall's decision in McCulloch vs. Maryland his masterpiece. The federal government had chartered a national bank, and the state of Maryland tried to tax it's Balti- more branch.
 The Supreme Court ruling was that a state cannot tax thus a federal agency, since that would give states the power to tax out of existence agencies created by the federal government. But the case turned on the question of whether the government had a right to estab ablish such bank in the first place. ~ IMPLIED POWER UPHELD
 Here Marshall made his best exposition of implied powers" Admitting that the Constitution did not say directly that Congress could establish a bank, Marshall argued that this power was inn piled by the granted powers of laying and collecting taxes, bor- rowing money, regulating com- merce, and waging war.
 Here again the attacks on Mar shall and the Supreme Court as undermining state power were bitter and long sustained. They lasted until the only really popu- lar decision he ever made, in Gibbons vs. ogden, in which the court ruled that steamship monopoly granted by state was unconstitutional This laid the foundation of federal regulation of trade under the commerce C1anua

ling to leave the territory at Georgia's order, was arrested, and put at hard labor in! the peni- tentiary.
 The Supreme Court heard the case Georgia for the second time refusing to take part, or admit the court had any right to hear the easel and Marshalls flat de- cision was that all Georgia's Cherokee laws were void, as going against the Constitution and the treaties and relations between the United States government and the Cherokees.
 DEFEAT FOR MARSHALL Georgia scoffed, her governor called the courts opinion "usur- pation," and President Jackson, who had been for Georgia all the time, is reported to have said scornfully, "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."
 | Of course he could not, for the Supreme Court has never claimed power to enforce it's rulings, nor has it any. The Cherokee laws were actually strengthened by Georgia, and Worcester stayed a year in jail after the decision.
 Then, Georgia having success fully defied the court, he was par doned.
 Three years later John Marshall died, and with him died whole era of American history in whose making he had vital part.
