Graft Investigating Committee Re-
jxrts Bill to Put An End to Evil for
All Time Racetrack Gamblers the
Cause.
Albany, X. Y., Feb. 1. What is de
scribed as "the most drastic anti

day by a committee which had been
investigating the reports of wholesale
! graft' Partiru'arly with respect to the
race track campaign against the
Hughes anti-betting bill. The com
mittee recommended all legislators
who don't inform on their fellow
members of a prosecutor who at
tempts to unduly influence them
shall be guilty of a felony and pun
ishable by forfeiture of fine and a
fine of five thousand or Imprisonment
or ten years. Threats are also to be
construed as bribes under the pro
posed measure.
Referring to the reports that a co
terie of race track owners had raised
a huge slush fund at a meeting at
Delmonicos to fight the anti-race track
bills, the committee admits it was un
able to trace the fund because the co
teries stayed out of the committee's
jurisdiction and defied its process
servers.

were also reviewed and the committee
fathers eleven sweeping fire insurance
bills that are expected once and for
all to end legislative holdups and bills
