CHILDREN GAMBLE
Minds of School Children Corrupt
ed By Racing "Dope."
! DISTRIBUTE SPORTING CARDS
Investigation Shows Children are Em
ployed to Distribute Race and Base
Ball Cards Minds Are Cor-
j rupted by Work.
CHICAGO, May 3. Complaints that
the minds of certain school children are
being corrupted by race track "dope"
led to the arrest yesterday of J. S.
Murray president of B.ntley. Murray
1 Company, printers of sporting score
card. Twenty-five charges of the illeg
al employment of children are made
against Mr. Murray. The prosecution
was instituted by Edgar T. Da vies,
chief of the State Bureau of Factory
inspection.
Two weeks ago a truant officer re
ported to the compulsory education
department of the board of education
that certain boys who had some under
his observation showed evidence of de
moralization caused by their employ
ment to distribute race and baseball
result cards. The boy, who were said
to be under fourteen years of age, were
employed, it was found by the Bent
ley Murray.
The instructors of the youths in ques
tion testified that the boys were list
less in their school work that their minds
were fixed only on the work of distri
buting the racing results, and that they
were absorbed in sporting topics as a
direct outgrowth of their employment.
In several instances actual betting on
the races and the ball games was dis
covered in the school precincts and trac
ed directly to the boys thus employed
by the scare card company. Some of
the boys employed, are said to have
'"made books" on the races and other
sporting events, in which other school
children were taught to hazzard their
pennies.
STOP PLURAL VOTING.
LOXDOX, May 3. Lewis Harcourt,

mons yesterday a bill prohibiting plur
al voting.
Hitherto the practice in this country
for a voter to exercise the franchise
in perhaps half a dozen different lo

once yearly the constituency in which
they de-ire to exercise the privilege of
voting. If discovered voting elsewhere
they will be punished under the corrupt
practice act. The measure, if it becom
es a law will mainly affect the land
owners vote.
NO SUCH REPUBLIC.
LOXDOX, May 3. Foreign Minister
Grey, replying to a letter of inquiry

merce, as to tiie status of the so-called
Republic of Counani, declares that the

.that its political existence is not ack
nowledged by Brazil or any other coun
try.
