which Drlacoll contends will remove all
doubt as to who Is to blame when auch
cases come before the courts
Mayor Lane, on the other hand, con
tends that the ordinance will only re
sult In benefits of the saloonkeeper.
An effort was made by the mayor yes

Drlacoll on the ordinance, and Mayor
Lane nronosed that an amendment
should be added to the ordinance com-
ellins: the saloonkeeper to keen a reg-
ster and sign up all doubtful seekers

Drlsooll demurred to this and said'
that it would only result In hardship
upon the aaloonman. He aald that the
ordinance) wu framed ' to keep minors
out of saloons and predicts that It will
pass over the mayors veto.
Mayor lane vetoea rour otner omi

propriating $1,860 for the arch of wel

to grant permission to C W. Notting
ham to erect a frame structure within'
the fire, limits, on East Second and
Washington-streets-another to vacate a
strip or land on Belmont street, and
the last to regulate employment agen
cies. ' Mayor Lane gave his reasons for
all of these vetoes, and his message ac
companying the .veto of Drlscoli's ordi
nance follows:
"I herewith return, ordlnanoa No. 17,
668 not approved. i
"Thla la an ordinance to punish minors
for . misrepresentation as to their age
for the purpose of obtaining spirituous, ,
vinous or ma t llauors. and applies to
an minors over i years or aga.
"It is made the duty of the orosecut
lng officer to ascertain If the minor has
misrepresented his ago to tne saloon
keeper, and, ii so, such, fact may bo
taken aa a mitigation of the offense.

the supporters ot the Agnew-Hart
anti-race gambling bills are ezpress-
! lng emphatlo opinions ' today that
, these measures will be taken up and
' passed next Wednesday, It is plain
they are by no means easy over the
five days' respite won by the race
track Interests. They have heard
the rumors of a million' for defense
; of the race track betting ring, 'the
. race track men are Jubilant. They
' see great possibilities In the five
days. They know that only three
senators stand between them and the
death of the bills which. If passed,
will sound tbe death-knell of the
betting ring In this state. Both
sides are watching each other like
cats. The faove are marked. The
situation Is a tense one. Never in
the history of legislation In this
state has there been a crisis where
the sonate has taken sides' with such
grim determination as in this case.
The turf men know, and so do
the men opposing them, that $1,000,
000 would be a cheap price to pay
for victory for the racing interests,
betting ring In this straggle. In
proof of this is the enormous profit
made at the various tracks of this
state last season. At Sheepshead
Bay alone the profits of the season
amounted to $1,080,207, while the
combined profits ot the 10 racing
associations of the state reached the
grand total of $4,028,583. Five of
the tracks of the state- made more
than $500,000 each In the season of
1907. The combined value of the
racing tracks of the state is placed
at $14,300,000. If the anti-racing
bills pass, this value1 will shrink to
the nominal value of the land ai
real estate, and this means it,s lvalue
will decrease by mlllons. Not only
this, but there is the racing etock
worth millions, owned by such men
as James K. Keene, Harry Payne
Whitney and others. Despite the-1
fact that the horses represent the
finest strain of racing blood in the
world, their value would decrease
vastly If gambling at the tracks were
stopped.
