There were no developments in the
Steunenburg case today. It ie balieved
that all th indictment have been re

taking th prisoners to court to plead. , It
is thought that perhaps the reason is that
it is a part of th general plan of the
prosecution to not serve any warrants of

TO STOP RACE TRACK GAMBUNG
(Scrlpps New Association)
Albany, N. Y, Mar. 7 The Code 'Com
mittee of the senate and the State As
sembly will hold a joint meeting this after
noon, to considsr arguments for and
gainst th Cassidy Lansing bill, which
prohibit gambling on racetracks. Th
hearing was called at the request of th
Rsv. A. AGregg, field secretary of the
International Reform Bureau, who also
represents th Christian Endeavorers, th
Society for. the prevention of vice and
various ministerial associations.
It now appear that the attack on race
gambling originated in Washington, the
prime mover being th Rev. Dr. Wilbur
F. Craft, superintendent of the Interna
tional Reform Bureau, which has its gen
eral headquarters in that city. For sev
eral month th Bureau has been sending
literature and ' letters broadcast in this
state, urging its member and supporters
to ask Governor Higgin to do something
to stop rac gambling. Th Governor
admits that he ha received many letters
of that kind.
Dr. Crafts visited 'Albany a few week
ago and interviewed th governor; He
wa informed that th governor was in
sympathy with the legislation against
ambling on th rac tracks. ' Dr. Crafts
drafted th bill which wa afterward
put into shape for introduction by Anthony
Comstock. Th Rev. A. S. Gregg, who
ha been lecturing for the Bureau in Mas-
saohuMtt, wa shifted to Albany and,
with th aid of influential friends, 'ar
ranged for the introduction of the bill in
both branches of th Legislature. Mr.
Greca' will now giv hi entire time to
th interests of th Cassidy-Lerising bi
and othsr bureau. work in this state.
It is known that Governor Higgin
favor th bill There are also a number
of senator and assemblymen, not
suspected now,' who will support th bill
decisively whso th tims cornel. Th
principal opposition to th bill will com
from th fair and agricultural associations
who fiv per tent of racing receipts
would b imperilled, should th bill be

Washington D. C. Mar. 7. A frequent
comment heard here ie, deprecatory of
the Pacific Northwest' attitude toward
th salmon fishing' Industry, Officer bf
the bureau of fisheries do .not .' veil their
disgust at what they regard Unpardonable
indifference toward salmon. ' This same
spirit is finding broader reflection, and
will soms day develop into a positive op
position to Qovernment aid for work in
which the state do not show mors in
terest. .- . v '.;..: . :
This criticism is not based so much
upon failure to appropriate ; funds' f jr
DroDacration. as unon laws . which the
I Federal effieiale believe vtrv tmor
tection to fish. Th decreasing number
ot salmon caught at th hatcheries where
rtificiftl propagation is conducted is ac
cepted as - proof- that he industry wiU
wan to an unimportant business, which
s not worthy maintenance of hatcheries.
Those officials of a more optimistic
turn, hops that the peopl of Oregon .and
Washington wilt ' improv on their old
customs befpre it is too late., If each
state would put in fore measure paten
tly affording great assurance of th per
manency'of th salmon industry, th,.t
feet woul d b Immediate here, and no
doubt is felt that the Government would
be ready for all time to co-operate every
way possible in continuing . th salmon
industry as on of th most priceless
gifts of nature. Men of th ' East who
read of what their- river afforded' In
pioneer daye, and deplore : soms of th
ravages of civilization, offer many ardent
prayers that the Pacific Northwest will
b aroused before th noble , : salmon
ceases to be a general commercial com
modity.
