WILLIAMS TAKES AGGRESSIVE
Says Racing Would Cease
Without Gambling.
. HOT ATTACK ON CLERGY
California Senate Committee Says
Bill Should Not Pass After
Hearing Defense of Sport
by Jockey Club Jlen.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Jan. IS. The
Senate public morals committee decided
In executive session late tonight to re
port bark to the Senate without amend
ment tomorrow the Walker-Otis anti
racetrack bill with the recommendation
that it do not pass.
Thomas IX. Williams, president of the
New California Jockey Club, which op
erates the racetrack at Emeryville, In
adlresslng the committee on public
morals tonight, startled the assembled
legislators and the auditors who crowd
ed ;he galleries of the Senate chamber
l.v l"ctarlnK that In the last 18 years
more crimes had been committed In the
t'nited States and Canada by ministers
of the gospel than by any other class.
As he spoke he waved a paper-bound
book.
"I have the record here." lie cried.
"There are 4"00 of them, and they have
committed crimes of every description,
including murder and tralnrobbery."
Criminal Influence of Kaces.
Trior to making the foregoing dec
laration. Mr. Williams' anger had been
a re used by several questions put by ad
vocates of the bill In dispute, who
as'ted him what he had to say if regard
to the "criminal Influences of the race
track." Among the questioners was Arthur
T.etts. a f.os Angeles milllo. lire mer
chant and president of the Anti-Racetrack
Gambling League of Southern
California.
"Would you be In this business If It
were not for the profits In It?" asked
Mr. Letts.
Thafa none of your business," re
plied Mr. Williams.'
Chairman Weed gave Senator Hart
man the floor.
"I am for racing." said Mr. Hart
man. "If this Is to be my political
death knell, toll your bells. I don't
want to come here any more."
No Gambling, Xo Racing.
The speech of Mr. Williams occupied
a half hour. In part he said:
"Without gambling racing will cease.
It won't work without the element of
chance any more than the real estate or
any other business. It is the love of
gain that supports every business. If
you curb that, you ruin the trado of the
world. If you stop the racetrack, you
will have prohibition the next trip and
the Sunday-rest law the next trip, and
so on ad lib.
"Are we going to say that England,
Russia. Germany, France and other
great nations know nothing? They have
decided that racing was one of the
greatest features of their national life I
mean the Improvement of the breed of
thoroughbreds.
Only Increases Handbooks.
"Close the racetracks In California and
tomorrow you will Increase the number
of poolrooms and handbooks. That has
been the case In Chicago and New York
and many other cities where gambling
Is prohibited. You can't control gambl
ing In Canada and you can't stop the
telegrahp wires."
Senator Lcavitt interrupted to ask re
garding the. operation of the Hughes law
In New York. Mr. Williams handed Mr.
Iieavltt the affidavit of a citizen of New
York to the effect that there were over
' 4'fl handbooks there and many more
bucket shops than over before. Mr. Wil
liams then concluded:
Challenge to Spreckels.
" "I wish to make an announcement here
In public about a gentleman who has de
clared he is against racetrack gambling.
Rudolph Spreckels has stated that he
favors restricted gambling. If he thinks
he f an get along without gambling. I am
willing to give him one of my tracks. I
defy hlni to restrict gambling any more
than I have done and am doing."
Barney Schreiber, who called himself
the second largest breeder of thorough
bred horses in the world and has raced
horses and made books on racetracks all
over the United States for K years, de
fended the racing game.
He said there were Ij) persons em
ployed at Emeryville and Arcadia and
asked:
If you legislate us out of business,
what will become of these people?"'
Speakers In support of the bill argued
that betting on horse races was corrupt
ing the public and responsible for thou
iinds of cases of embezzlement.

Hushed Vp Though General
Manager Is Injured.
TRUCK BE, Cal.. Jan. 2S. (Special.)
Word has been received here of a serious
colliwion between two trains on the Boca
& Loyalton branch of the Western Pa
cific Railway, several days ago. Orders
issued by higher officials to train crews
for secrecy regarding the affair have
kept the story from becoming public
sooner. On account of heavy snows
trains were being run over the road be
tween Loyalton and Boca frequently to
keep tiie track clear. One train, with
Superintendent Stansbury at the throt
tle, he having desired to Inspect the road
during the heavy snow, was backing
down to Loyalton. Two heavy loco
motives with, a enowplow aheart were
also bound for Loyalton, and on rounding
a sharp curve crashed into Stansbury's
engine, six miles from town.
Tho engine crews Jumped into the snow
beside the track and were saved, but
General Manager Oti sustained' injuries
that will confine him to his room. The
snowplow was wrecked, one locomotive
capsized, and the other was badly dam
aged, the road belt? blockedi for some
time. Conflicting orders are blamed for
the accident.

President Would Be Sure Lock
Level Construction Is Best
Before Term Expires.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.; Jan. 28. (Special.)
Word has come from Washington to
the office here of James D. Schuyler, one
of the engineers bound for Panama with
President-elect Taft. explaining .' Presi
dent Roosevelt's mut-h-dlscussed purpose
In having the trip of inspection made.
Tiie- adoption of lock level construction
In place of sea level, construction took
place during the Roosevelt administra
tion. Recently there has been much ad
verse criticism of the lock level - plan,
many engineers alleging that the foun
dation for the monster Gatum dam is
.insecure, some even asserting that the
present plan of canal construction is
one Immense engineering blunder.
The President, by sending a board of
eight of tho foremost engineers in the
United States to report upon the re
spective merits of the lock and sea level
types, will receive a final competent
opinion before lie retires from office.
Should the board report in favor of the
lock level, criticism will be silenced. On
the other hand, should they agree with
some critics in pronouncing the sea level
plan the only practicable one, Roose
velt will have ample opportunity to cor
rect the error before he becomes powerless.
WIFE HIS PUNCHING BAG
Louisiana Cotton Man Accused of
Fiendish Acts of Cruelty.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S. In granting
a divorce to Mrs. Alice E. Hall, wife of
W. R. Hall, a Louisiana cotton broker,
Judge Graham said today that the1, tale,
of the husband's cruelties as recited by
Mrs. Hall was the most shocking he had
heard in many years of divorce-court
work.
Mrs. Hall said that, while she was liv
ing with Hall in a cottage at the edge of
a swamp two miles out of Alexandria,
La., her husband repeatedly fastened her
feet to a ceiling beam with a rope and, as
she swung thus, head downward, beat
her face and head unmercifully, as a
boxer in training rains blows on a punch-Ing-bag.
He wore gloves during the
process In order to protect his hands
from injury.
Not content with this, Hall, his wife
declared, took her out on the swamp in a
small boat at night and. after compelling
her to disrobe, forced her to Jump into
the water arid swim to a tree, where she
clung, naked and shivering, until lie
chose to return for her.
The Halls were married two years ago
in Oakland, where Mrs. Hall's mother
Uvea. Hall Is In Louisiana and allowed
the proceedings to go by default.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28. A vigorous
fight against the Indorsement of Gif
ford Pinchot's administration of the
Forest Service enlivened the final
session of the American National Live
stock Association. It was waged by
half a dozen delegates who were mem
bers of the Colorado Cattle & Horse
growers' Association, led by er-State
Senator E. M. Ammons, of Littleton,
Colo., and Congressman-elect Frank
M. Taylor, of that state, and resulted In
their defeat.
Colorado Men on Warpath. .
The right of Mr. Ammons to represr.it
the sentiment of his state as opposed
to Federal land control was cha'.ienged
by Vice-President Mackenzie, of Trini
dad, Colo., but he showed that the
Colorado Cattle & Horsegrowers' As
sociation had so voted. He ws asked
by Mr. Mackenzie if a number of com
ponent organizations of stockmen of
Colorado had not withdrawn from the
parent organization on account of that
stand, but he replied that but three
had withdrawn and four others had
since Joined. Mr. Taylor declared that
Mr. Ammons correctly represented the
sentiment of tho state and asserted
with spirit that "the policies of Mr.
Pinchot had brought irreparable in
juries to the Industries of Colorado."
Federal land control was favored by
several delegates led by ex-United
States Senator Joseph M. Carery, of
Wyoming, who maintained that the
policy of the present National adminis
tration had proved of Inestimable ad
vantage to the whole Wester- cbuntry.
The substitute resolution offered by
Mr. Ammons was overwhelmingly voted
down.
The resolutions aa reported from com
mittee by Mr. Carey, the chairman, were
adopted by a practically unanimous vote.

Amendment Lost by Close Margin
After Vigorous Struggle and
Many Personalities.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Jan. 28. The
amendment to the constitution enfran
chising women, which Representative
Grove L. Johnson proposed for submis
sion to the people at the next election,
was defeated in the Assembly today by
a vote of 39 to 37, after the most stub
born struggle of the session. Roll was
called shortly before 4 o'clock this af
ternoon. From 11 o'clock until that
hour, with the exception of a short re
cess, the champions of the fair sex used
every argument In their power to
swing the necessary two-thirds vote to
carry the measure, and their opponents
presented equally vigorous arguments.
Many personalities were indulged In by
both sides and the women who crowded
the galleries hung over the railings in
breathless Interest, as the debate devel
oped into a whirlwind of contention.
George M. Perkins, of San Francisco,
one of the spokeemen for the opposition,
said:
"I am against this measure because I
do not believe that our wives, our moth
ers and our sisters wish, nor should they,
the privilege of rubbing elbows at the
polls with depraved women and dope
fiends. It Is the duty of all men to pro
tect their women from such influences.
Manly men will not make it possible for
their daughters to stand shoulder to
shoulder at the ballot box with fallen
women."
CHILE AND ERU QUARREL
Relations Ruptured and Memories
of Last War Revived.
VALPARAISO, Chile. Jan. 2S. The rup
ture of diplomatic relations between Chile
and Peru, signalized by the withdrawal
of Senor J. M. Ecliinque, tho Chilean
Minister at Lima, has aroused more or
less excitement here, and the old animos
ities between the two countries, dating
back to tho war of 1S79 and the conse
quent acquisition of the Peruvian Prov
inces of Tacna and Arlca by 'Chile, have,
to a certain measure, been revived.
It is declared here today that the
Chilean squadron under Admiral Wilson,
now in tho Strait of Magellan, has been
ordered north.
The difficulty between Chile and Peru
came to general notice when the Peruvian
government, a few months ago, refused
to permit Chile, represented by Sunor
Kchlnque, to place a tablet on the monu
ment erected bytPeru to the memory of
her soldiers who lost their lives in tno
war of 1879. Senor Ecliinque was then
recalled. The controversy Is entirely
diplomatic and has not yet assumed a
serious character.

SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 28. (Special.)
Pedestrians in the neighborhood of the
new home of Mr. and Mrs. Clay Ijiw
rence in the suburb of Green Lake Inst
evening might have been astonished to
see six and a half feet of clerical hu
manity descending hand-ovcr-hand from
the third story on a rope made of bed
sheets.
It was Rev. M. A. Matthews, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, and the
leading minister of the city. Ho had
united Clay Lawrence and MIks Dora
Gunn in the holy bonds of matrimony a
few minutes before. Tho ceremony over,
it was found that tho doors of the house
were locked. A crowd of chartvariers
had crept up, and with wire and rope
fastened every door and even fastened
the windows on the lower floor, com
pelling the minister to adopt the un
dignified means of escape.
