Half Million Is Bet
in Area on Relief

Last year, for instance, Massa-
chusetts' racegoers backed their
lunches thirty-fve million dollars
worth; Kentucky LET go of about
eleven million; Florida guessed
about twenty-five million dollars
worth; California, always seeking
to better its rival, took more than
thirty million to and from the race
tracks; while Michigan, Texas, Ore
gon, West Virginia, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Nevada, Rhode Island,
Louisiana, Maryland, Illinois and
other race-loving states contributed
something like a hundred and ten
million.
This money was wagered IN
places where pari-mutuel betting is
permitted and where it is possible
accurately to gauge the amounts
riSked. Incidentally, it might be in
teresting TO know that in one New
England district where nearly a
hah-miIIion dollars poured into
races in a single month, the major
ity of persons In the area were on
relief.
Besides the pari-mutuel betting
must be considered the bookies sys-
tenn of betting in New York, where,
it is estimated, nearly three hun
dred million dollars were wagered.
This, according to the average
mans belief, is all the money which
went into racing, either through
bookie or pari-mutuel systems. How
ever, there was another system"
which made no reports, and which
handled more money than all the
racetracks combined. That was
gangdom. There was time when

 the Dominicans

PORT ALI PRINCE, Haiti, Dec. (P)Eight thousand Haitians have been slain on the soil of the Dom- inican republic since October, President Stenio Vincent of Haiti estimated in an interview in Port au Prince. He declared the slay- ings and assassinations of Haiti ans took place lon Dominican soil far beyond the Haitian-Dom- inican boundary"
 Ordered From Country
 The fir sittaemtth..A A...-'bb1
 The first time that an official Haitian version of the slayings of Haitians on Dominican soil was made public was recently when Haitian Foreign Minister George Leger of Haiti said they occurred after the Dominican authorities had ordered a roundup of Haiti an workers in Dominican cane fields for expulsion from the country.
 Haiti occupies the western 3rd of the island of Santo Domingo, the Dominican republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of the is- land. The boundary between the two countries is l93 miles long. Haiti's area is 1O,2O4 square miles and the population 2,550,000.
 The Dominican republics area is 19,325 square miles and the population l,478,0OO. Both popu- lations are comprised chiefly of Negroes.

 Victory For Estate
 Donald Shepard, executor of the Mellon estate, however, said immediately the decision was "a victory" for the estate. He de- clared some of the points in the decision, particularly those relat- ing to corporate reorganization, were surprising.
 Lawyers for the estate won de- duction of the taxes on the cost of five priceless paintings that Mellon gave to a charitable and educational trust, which trust, with it's art treasures has since been donated to the federal gov ernment.

 The litigation has been pending since 1884 The government con- tended the income of Mellon in 1881 was $13,OOO,OO0. The estate contended his income that year was $6,000,OOO.
