Random Notes

We print today Secretary Ickes' impress
sions of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
In his flying trip he has seen, understood
and is able to discuss the situation in these
parts of the United States territory.
The people of ST. Croix hold President
Roosevelt dear to their hearts. They know
that what has been done for them by the
Federal Government has been done at the
request and order of the President. They
have not made up their minds about Mr.
Ickes. A few fatterers, when it salts them
will say otherwise.
From the st. Thomas Bulletin we note
that the Colonial Council has endorsed
the Governors proposition to insure against

somewhat and March cotton. after

points net higher. Later months
closed to IL points net lower, with
the tone barely steady.
The March demand was attributed
to overnight reports from Washing

intention of dumping 12-cent loan
cotton on the market below that level

TRACKNEN SAY
LUCIANOWAS
'B00K|E'
Trace Betting History
Through Years in
His Defense
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS
international News Service

NEW YORK, June 2 Q.N.So.
A parade of jovial, bright-eyed
men in checkered suits, who
looked like characters from a
Damon Runyon play, testified for
the defense at the Charles
Lucky" Luciano vice trial today.
The witnesses were book
makers, handicappers, betting
commissioners and other race
track figures. They swore that
the swarthy, scar-faced Luciano,
accused as the city'S vice car,
was in reality a gambler and
bookmaker.
Basis of Defense
For the first time Luciano's
defense, that he booked horses,
began to take shape.
Max Kalik, a sprightly, gray
haired man, the first to take the
stand, admitted he is considered"
the biggest bookmaker in New
York.
Said George M. Levy, chief coun-
sci for Luciano:
do you know Charlie Lucky
here?"
Kalik replied:
eyes. see him around Sara
tOga and the big tracks for the
past several years almost every
day"
He explained that Luciano both
bet on horses and clay" horses.
Kalik explained to the blue-ribbon
jury that to LAY" a horse is to bet
against him.
Henry Goldstone, another book
maker, told of seeing Luciano
booking bets at the big tracks. He
told of seeing him in the crap
games at Saratoga also. He said:
"CharIie Lucky's average bet
at the track is $500 to $500. Five
hundred dollars is q big bet for
him"
Thomas Francis, a large, blue
jowled character, who said he was
q handicaper and also owned
horses, told of going to the tracks
daily with Lucky for the last three
or four years.
Discuss Horses
He told of how he and Lucky
for years have been meeting for
their drive to the track and how,
when the day was over, they would
go to a restaurant for dinner and
then to Lucky'S hotel to discuss
horses"
Joseph Forgione, a betting COM
missioner, substantiated Francis
testimony.

Uncle Sam today SHE'D away

A complete "handS-off" attitude
prevailed at the State Depart
ment, where officials took the posi-
ton it was no affair of this Gov
eminent whether political factions
in the Latin-American republic
shot up one another or not.
This position was being main
tanned in an effort to abide by the
Administrators policy of nom
interference in the internal af.
fairs of Latin-American republics.
There was reason to believe that
large element of the Nicaraguan
people expected American Ma
rineS would be sent to restore or
