RACE TRACK BETS
ARE HELD ILLEGAL
New York Senate Leader to Use
Ruling to Seek Constitu-
tional O. K.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, NJ T., May 6.-Senator
John j. Dunnigan'S drive to legalize
betting at New York State race tracks
and to restrict gambling to pari-
mutuel machines was revived today
on the basis of an opinion from At
torney General John j. Bennett, jr.,
that betting is illegal on New York
tracks at present.
The attorney general based his rul-
ing on the constitutional prohibition
against gambling.
Dunnigan has a bill in the Legis-
1ature providing for a constitutional
amendment to make betting legal and
then restrict it to authorized ma
chimes, thus eliminating the book
maker.
The practical effect of the Attor-
ney Generals ruling today could not
be estimated. The question involved
was one of law enforcement, and there
was no indication that enforcement
officers would stop book making.
Dunnigan sought the ruling of the
Attorney General to bolster his con-
tention that the New York State
statute limiting the penalty against
gambling to civil court actions are
not constitutional, because the Legis-
lature has not the power to pass a
law recognizing an unconstitutional
act He said he might test the law
In the courts.
The Attorney General did not rule
on the question of whether the pres
ent statutes are unconstitutional.

.LANDON HAS EDGE
IN SOUTH DAKOTA:
LOSES CALIFORNIA
Kansas Governor Keeps
Slight Lead Over Borah in
G. 0. P. Primary. .
COAST VOTERS FAVOR
UNRESTRICTED SLATE
Roosevelt Delegates Swamp Sim
clair and Townsendite Factions
in Democratic Contest.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas, can
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination, took a beating in Cali
fornia yesterday. but was winning in
South Dakota'S primary.
At the same time the California
slate of delegates to the Democratic
National Convention picked by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, ran away from the
Sinclair e. P. I. c." slate and the
Townsendite slate.
In the California primary slate
of delegates pledged to vote for Lam
don in the Republican convention was
defeated by slate of 'uninstructed"
Observation-Disclosures nominally pledged
to Republican state Chairman Earl
Warren.
The Landon-pledged slate had been
put in the field by William Randolph
Hearst and Gov. Merriam. Landon
had not given specific approval of this
move, but he had not taken any step
to Withdraw his name, as he could
have done under the law.
Gov. Landon today issued a state
ment in Topeka saying he was "en-
tirely satisfied" with the results in
California and South Dakota. John D.
NJ Hamilton, manager of Landon's
California campaign, said the unin-
structed delegation contains many
friends of Gov Landon.
But if the Kansas Governor lost
prestige in the California fight, where
he was running against the field, he
apparently gained ground in South
Dakota Senator Borah of Idaho ex-
pected to carry the South Dakota pri-
mary with a delegation pledged to
him. The latest returns, according 20
the Associated Press, show the eight
delegate candidates personally pledged
to Landon running ahead Of the
Borah slate of delegates by 1907 votes,
with 1927 voting precincts out of 1858
heard from.
The vote stood 33,067 for the unin-
structed Landon delegates, to 3l,460
for the Borah-instructed slate.
Dakota Vote a Showdown.
The South Dakota primary was a
real showdown between these two
Western candidates. The delegates on
the uninstructed slate had made it
quite clear they would vote for Landon
when they reached the convention.

KURTz|S INDICTED
ON TWO CHARGES
Securities Act Violation Is
Laid to Broker AIIegedly
Short 100000.

Reported to be short between $780,
900 and $500 900, Carl r. KurtZ, A,
socially prominent head of the long
established investment house of Stroud,
Kurtz g. Co., was indicted today on
two embezzlement charges and for an
alleged violation of the securities act
of 1888.
Kurtz is at liberty under $4,000 bond,
having been arrested three weeks ago
on Police Court warrant. His indict-
ment came as a climax to lengthy
investigation by the district attorneys
staff.
Although numerous persons well
known here we're listed among the
victims of the alleged defalcations,
only three could be persuaded to prose-
cute. These lost total of $40, IT'S 81.
Many Of the others were personal
friends of the accused and preferred
to take no part in the criminal action
against him, officials said.
Bail Increase Unlikely.
1t is expected there will be no
effort made to increase Kurtzs bail,
since he voluntarily submitted to ar
rest when informed by his attorney,
Milton King, that warrant had been
issued. An early arraignment is prob
| able.
| The broker, who is member of the
Metropolitan and Chevy Chase Clubs,
came here a number of years ago
from Philadelphia. He lives with his
| family at 2458 wyoming avenue.
In all the cases recited in the three
indictments Kurtz is alleged to have
been given securities or cash by
clients. with instructions to buy other
securities. In each case the COM
plainant did not receive the stocks
and bonds supposed to be purchased
for him. 1t is the contention of the
Government that Kurtz converted the
funds to his own use.
The three complaining witnesses
were Arthur Stedman Hills, an attor-
ney with Offices in the Munsey Build
ing; DR.. Howard E. Smith, Agriculture
Department scientist, and Comdr.
Claude S. Gillette, as secretary and
treasurer of the American Society Of
Naval Engineers.
Transactions Are Recited.
1t was alleged that on January 90
Hills turned over to Kurtz two Do
minion of Canada bonds valued at
$4,000 and 10 shares of Armour Co.
of Delaware preferred stock valued at
Sl,100, with instructions to sell and
apply the proceeds toward the pur-
chase of $1,000 worth of Republic
Steel Corp. bonds. To make up the
difference, Hills deposited about $4,000
in the National Metropolitan Bank.
which was to be paid to Kurtz when
he delivered the bonds. In another
transaction February II Hills gave
Kurtz IA shares of General Water, Gas
g. Electric Co. preferred stock to sell.
With the proceeds he was to buy rs
shares of United Corp. preferred stock.
The Government alleged that the total
embezzled from Hills was $6,472.54.
In another indictment Kurtz was
charged with embezzling $12,152.67

NEW YORK, May 6.-The threat OF
a suspension of operations in the

agreed on the major points of new

Aided by Edward F. McGrady. As

agreed in principle on virtually all
matters and had entrusted details to
a subcommittee.
While the announcement of the joint

of the continuous 14-hour session was
limited to a brief statement, an I'M

contract would be signed this after
noon.
The present contract, in effect for
five and a half years, expired March

conference, in session since February
"a, sought to reconcile the widely
divergent views.
The United Mine Workers, who never
have had cut in the basic wage level
since the first contract was signed in
1902, had asked a substantial in
crease" which producers said meant
20 per cent. The operators countered
with request that the 1918 wage level
be restored. 1t would mean % per
