Swift House approval OF the SeneSe
bill to outlaw the numbers racket was
predicted today by Representative
Shafer, Republican. of Michigan. at
whose insistance the measure was re-
vived after languishing for a year in
the House District Committee.
The bill is due to come before the
House Monday.
Il can't believe any real opposition
to this legislation will develop on the
floor" Mr.. Shafer said. 1T is de-
signed to rid the National Capital OF
its worst racket This is q racket
which has spread crime in every city
where it has flourished, and I'm sure
the House will be glad OF the chance
to pass the more drastic lottery law
which the authorities here have been
seeking for several years"
The Michigan Representative point
ed out that law-enforcement officers
had been emphatic in their testimony
at the recent hearings before the COM
mittee in declaring the numbers game
was one of Washington's worst in
fluences. Mr. Shafer regards the
present District lottery statute as
archaic. because it was drawn early
in the century. long before the num-
bers game-the most popular lottery
racket in recent years-was invented.
PalmisanO Agreeable.
Chairman Palmisano of the District
Committee, although opposed to the
bill, has agreed to bring it up when
District Day is called in the House
Monday.
Mr.. Palmisano explained today that.
whatever his position on the measure
the committee has voted it out, and
he would not seek to obstruct it. but,
on the other hand. would insist on
bringing 1t before the House at the
earliest opportunity.
The Maryland Representative op-
poses the search-and- clause in
the bill as too drastic He contends
that this gives the police authority

BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, Jr.

American sportsmen were jubilant
today over the fact that little Battle
ship, a tiny son of Man O. War, had
won the English Grand National for
Mrs. Marion du Pont Scott of Mont
pelier, Va. wife of Randolph Scott,
the actor. Their exhilaration was due
to at least half a dozen reasons.
First of all, the little chestnut stall
lion is the first American-owned,
American-bred jumper ever to take the
century-old classic Second, he is the
smallest horse ever to jump the huge
Aintree course and finish winner.
Standing only 152 hands, he was
jumping some fences just as tall as
he is when he went around the 80 ter
rife obstacles in the Aintree course.
Some of the fences there are over S
feet tall. Battleship's 1872 means he
is just feet inches in height.
Principally, Americans were excited
because most Of them had seen the
big little horse" win some of the best
jumping stakes at the hunt meets and
at Pimlico and Belmont in this coun-
try. They knew he was game, but not
many were aware just how much quail
ity he did have.
Trainer Held Confidence.
Selby Burch of Washington, who
trained the horse two seasons for Mrs.
Scott, said today that he always had
tremendous confidence in the little
fencer. but that some of the amateur
jockeys who rode him were inclined
at times to doubt the horses ability.
One Of these was Carroll Bassett, who
rode Battleship to victory in the Billy
Barton Stake at Pimlico in 1888 and
IN many another race. Mr.. Bassett
sailed for England on the same boat
with Mrs. Scott, and Mr.. Burch said
that in last-ninute conversation he
remarked to Mrs. Scott II think he will
win if he has any luck"
To which Mr.. Bassett replied, II still
say / don't think he's that much of a
horse"
Battleship has good record. not
only as jumper. He was bred by
Walter j. Salmon, well-known New
York sportsman, who raced him on
the fiat and won several stakes with
him. Then the horse developed slight
leg trouble, and Mrs. Scott, who al
ways has had an eye for a jumper
prospect, wanted to buy him. She is
reputed to have paid only $4,000 for
the horse. He has won much more
than that in America, and coupled
with his Grand National winnings to-
day. the horses earnings probably are
near the 100000 mark.
Incidentally the last race Battleship
won in this country was also named
the Grand National. the richest of
American jumping stakes which is run
each year at Belmont Park. He took
down that purse in fine style in 1884
beating such famous jumpers as
Joseph E. Widener,s Arc Light and
others His racing record on the
hunt circuit alone during 1888 and
1884 shows he won four times in
seven starts in 1888, five times In seven
starts in 1884 He was "in the money"
only once when he didn't win,
significant fact because apparently he
is a horse that either Is fit and goes
on to beat them all. or else he needs

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, March 25.---
Two North Pelham residents were in
dicted today for blackmail growing out
Of a futile attempt to collect the
$4,000 ransom for kidnapped Peter
Levine.
Edward j. Penn. Is. Pelham High
School senior, faces a possible 15-year
term as second offender because he
once stole an automobile.
Werner F. Luck, father of a baby
son and the alleged engineer Of a kid
naping plot interrupted by the abduc-
ton Of Peter Levine 90 days ago, faces
possible 10-year term
Capt. Thomas v. Herman of New
Rochelle police said he believed Luck
may have some connection with the
kidnapping Of Peter.
The indictment says the pair threat
ened that Peter would be beyond
mortal assistance" If $4,000 was not
paid In response to typewriter in
structions in note left on the lawn
of DR.. Paul C. Morrissey, New Ro-
chelle, on March 5.
The doctor did not find the note.
Luck was arrested on information
given Capt Herman. and only after
confession of the two was the message
discovered. Police say they had
planned for six months the kidnapping
Of l2-year-old Pelham boy and were

sued on mere suspicion Of an officer.
Mr.. Palmisano, however, does not OBJ
jcct to other features of the bill.
The measure outlaws the numbers
game specifically by making possession
of numbers ticket or records of such
wagers evidence OF violating the lot
terry law. In seeking the legislation,
the authorities explained that under
the present law the records of bets
kept by numbers operators were not
considered evidence and 1t was neces-
sary to prove q receipted sale to obtain
q conviction.
With this law. Capt. George M.
Little. head Of the police vice squad,
promised the House District Commit
tee the authorities could do almost
as we'll as Dewey did in New York. I"
New York's district attorney, Thomas
e. Dewey, smashed the Dutch Schultz
numbers mob, which the prosecutor
regarded as the richest and more dam
gerous racket group in the racket
ridden city.
Passed Senate Over Year Ago.
The District numbers bill, patterned
closely after the law Dewey invoked,
passed the Senate on February 10,
1887. It rested in the archives of the
House District Committee until re-
Gently.
AS reported out by the committee
the bill contains an important amend
ment by United States Attorney David
A. Pine, which makes records of num-
bers bets-in other words, the original
slips written by numbers writer's
evidence of guilt. Mr.. Pine feels that
this amendment strikes directly at the
operators of the racket, who might
have wiggled out of the amended law.
The courts have held that the present
lottery law applies to the numbers
game only when carbon copy of q
bet-the receipt sometimes given the
customer-can be produced in evi-
dence.
The Senate is expected to agree to
the Pine amendment promptly In
dications are the bill will be on its
way to the White House the latter part
Of next week.
