INTRODUCES BILL
ON RACING LAWS
WOULD HAVE MONIES DIS
TRIBUTED ON MONTH
LY BASIS

TALLAHASSEE, May 81
Splitting a $145,0O0 jackpot
among the sixty-seven counties
is provided for in a bill intro
duced in the Senate today by
Senator VIM. c. Hodges, amend
ing the racing law to limit to
$4,000 the amount to be held in
the state treasury for racing COM
mission expenses between the
close of the season and the open
ing of the next. Senator Hodges
amendment strikes from the orig
inal racing law the provision per-
hitting the treasurer to withhold
10 per cent of each seasons re-
, ceipts for expenses between sea-
sons and directs that all monies
on hand each April 18th, in ex-
cess of $4,000, shall be distri-
buted to the counties.
This year the 10 per cent
amounts to $4,000.
The Hodges amendment also
directs the treasurer to make
monthly distributions of funds
on or before the 5th day of the
months of January, February,
March and April. The treasurer
and the comptroller have been
making preliminary distributions
each season and paying most of
the excess after April 18th but
the authority is not clear and the
Hodges amendment make it man.
datory, thus insuring the avail
ability of the monies to the coun-
ties earlier than the close of the
season.
There is no reason why these
monies should be permitted to
accumulate and lie idle in the
state treasury when financially
pressed counties need every
penny possible at the earliest
possible moment" said Senator
Hodges. Realizing the possible
plight-especially with the pos
.sibility oS- $l45,O00 being held up
for nearly a year, plan to press
this measure to make the monies
more quickly available. The re-
serve of $4,000 for the racing
commissions between season ex-
penses has been determined to
be ample and there will be no
cramping of the services the COM
mission is directed to render"

LONDON. May 3.-More and

used to The constructive thought
that. after all. there may not be
a general war for some time 10
come. AT least. developments of
late point out that diplomatic
centers in Europe are making all
moves with extreme caution,
rather fearing that the present
status of "all's uuiet". might be
upset if hasty and rash actions
are made.
Prime Minister Chamberlain,
it appears. has decided to call
Adolf Hitler's April 18th bluff, if
indeed it was bluff concerning
GermanY's willingness to nego-
tiate with each of the 81 coun-
tries mentioned in President
RoOSevelt's non-aggression plea.
Steps are being taken today to
suggest that England and Ger
many enter into non-aggression
pacts.
Strengthening Neutrality
Hitler, following his lengthy
answer to the Democracies last
week, is reported to be busy this
week in Strengthening neutrality
arrangements with the Scandina-
Wan countries. This, to the Fueh-
Ter. appears important as Sweden,

ready access TO iron and food

tries.
NATURALIZATION of islands in
the North Sea will also be sought
by Germany as means to StaVe
off any Russian efforts to that

Poland Stands Ready
In Poland one million soldiers
will stand at attention. DIplo
mats of this country will reply to
HItler'S remarks IN regard to Dan

the Polish corridor the latter part
OF this week.
Chamberlain, on behalf of Eng

marks in regard to Poland-British
pacts, asserted today that there
was nothing in the mutual ar
Tangement that warranted scrap

Congress today moved to reno

At the same time from the in

wood being smashed. and Ransome

After Miss Murgatroyd had
gone. the sound Of hammering and
smashing continued for long
time. Then as the darkness be-
gan to close in, ii died away, and
in its place came the dim, ghostly
sound Of bare feet ascending and
defending the stairway to the roof.
The sound continued until it was
quite dark outside, and then pre-
sently from the roof above their
heads, the sound of Mr.. Banner
jee's wailing began again, louder
now, for his voice was rested, and
then after a moment from the
roof above them appeared glow
which illumined the leaves of the
trees all about.
Ransome thought, 81 suppose I

nothing. He was aware now of a
kind of apathy which had trans
formed everything, changed all

Mrs. Bannerjee were right. No one
would ever conquer India.
While he listened to the sounds
from overhead he became aware
presently that flame had sprung
up on the roof of the shattered
palace, tiny at first, no more than
a pinpoint of light, growing until
Ransome understood that there,
too. a body was being burned.
The wind blowing toward Mr.
Bannerjee's house carried the
smoke across the water and pres
