12 TRACKS ON DEFENCE Jock f Club Stewards to Take Ac tion to Protect Betting. Stirred by the campaign which has been start ad against all forms of gambling in this state. •ud which is trying to put an end to racetrack betting, the stewards of the Jockey Club, it was reported yesterday, will hold a conference at Saratoga to make out a plan of defence. The racetrack, say the enemies of gambling, is the source of the cvii, and until br-tting there is stopped it will be difficult to check the tendency in other directions. The agreement made be tween the Jockey Club and the Rev. Thomas R. Hicer, under the terms of which the Jockey Ciuh wai to do its best to prevent racing in formation from reaching the poolrooms, has failed to put the. poolrooms out of business. When the metropolitan racing season opened at the Aqueduct track, and later at Jamaica, the plan caused the poolroom men much incon venience. Since then, however, they have had little trouble, and are as flourishing as ever before. Probably the greatest amount of gam bling being done in New York at present is on the horse races. But the poolroom men, not content with making books on the races, have Introduced into their establishments still other forms of gambling, which are all liberally patronized. They now conduct roulette games, faro, keno, craps and almost every game of chance in the curriculum of gambling. All of this. It is alleged, is more or less traceable to the racetrack.". The Rev. A. S. Gregg, field secretary of the International reform bureau, has announced his intention of placing before the Governor the evidence of gambling which he has acquired at the racetracks, and • declares also that he will Institute an active campaign in the fall. The defeat of the Cassidy-Lansing bill in the last session 'of the Legislature, which was aimed against betting at racetracks, was a sore «iis appointment to the Rev. Dr. Gregg and others, •who r. -commended and fought for it. Dr. Gregg, however, has not given up the battle, and hopes to resurrect the measure in the next session ot the Legislature. Governor Higgins. at the time that the Cassfciy-Lanainjc bill was awaiting final action, expressed himself in favor of it. The agreement entered into between the Jockey Club and the Rev. Mr. Slicer was responsible in a degree to bringing about the defeat of the bill. If gambling should be injected into the cam paign as an jssue it would look rather badly Ear the racetrack interests. The Jockey club has always maintained that no gambling is done undor Its auspices, and that the betting at the racetracks is not under Its supervision. GET NEWS FROM A POLE. Poolrooms' Win, Temporarily at Least, Over Saratoga Track. {By Telegraph to Th«> Tribune.) Saratopa Sprinßß, N. V.. Aug. 11.— war of the N>iv York poolrooms npainst the racetrack gatn bl*-rf-' is evidently on.

Will -Learn How. to Grow Sua-'.r. Tobacco, Rics, etc. ' Washington, Aug. 11.— Philippine students sent to this country by the insular government to study agriculture will heredfter devote their attention chiefly to the Southern states, where sugar, tobacco, rice and other crops well suited .to the islands are grown extensively. At pres ent there are thirty young Filipinos In the United States studying farming in various agri cultural schools. in the Northern states. Because of race prejudice in the South, the young Filipinos have not taken kindly to . the idea of attending Southern Institutions, but as corn is practically the only Northern crop which is grown in their home country, many of the young students realize that they should go into states where the tropical crops flourish, and this fall a number of the boys will take up work in Louisiana and other states in. the Far South- WASHINGTON MADE P 0 REDUCTIONS Smaller Appropriation Necessitated Cut in Salaries at Sub-Stations. Postmaster William R. Willcox denied yesterday that he or any one cennected with the New York Postofflee, was responsible for the reduction In the pay of the drugstore superintendents of sub-sta tions. Mr. Willcox explained that the reductions were due to the fact that Congress appropriated only $600,000 this year for the maintenance of such sub-stations and that a reduction in pay neces sarily followed. He said that all orders pertaining to the reductions came from the Postofflee Depart ment and that he merely carried oat the orders given him. To prove this fact he shewed the circu lar letter which he had sent to all superintendents of stations, explaining the department orders. The letter read as follows. This office is advised by the First Assistant Postmaster General, under date of July 30, 1906. that the act of Congress making appropriations for the postal service for the current fiscal year pro vides an appropriation of $475,000 for clerks In charge of contract stations at » rate of compensa tion not to exceed $300 each, and an appropriation of $225,000 for clerks in charge cf contract stations. at a rate of compensation above $300 each and not to exceed $1,000 each, and that this law necessi tates a material reduction in the amount now al lowed for contract stations in the grades above $300. since the aggregate of salaries in these grades Is more than $300,000. while the appropriation is only $225,000 for the current year. The department states that in meeting this re duction it has been necessary to fix the salaries of the clerks in charge of contract stations attached to this office at rates In conformity therewith, and that under this rearrangement your compensation ■will be $ per annum. You will please Inform the bearer as to whether or not you desire to continue in charge of the sta tion now under your direction at the above com pensation. At a meeting of superintendents on Friday It was openly charged that some superintendents do ing a business of 150,000 yearly received less com pensation than some doing only $35,000 yearly Mr AXillcox said that the auditor of the Postoffice De partment at Washington was responsible fcr this error and that the New York office was in no way responsible. * SAY HE IS CONCERNED IN GEM THEFT.

DECIDES FOR /, ') IN. Vice-Chancellor Stevens Dismisses Suit Brought by H. C. Haskins. Trenton. N. J.. Aug. 11.-Vice-Chan.ellor Stevens has tiled an opinion dismissing the suit Instituted by Harry C. Haskins to compel Thomas F. Ryan to account for alleged enormous profits from the organization of the Tnite.l Lend Company nn.l com bining the lead Interests not already Included in the National Lead Company. Hawkins himself daime.i to liave originated the combination of the lead in terests in the country after many years of study. and bis plans were carried out by Ryan. The Vice- Chancellor holds that If Mr. Haskins has any claim 1t would b° by an action at law for damages. Saying: The charge of th«» bill is that Ryan should account for complainant s share of any profits reaprd by him from or In connection with the pro motion or exploitation of the I Hited States Lead Ccnpany Now. what profits could the defendant reap therefrom. The suggestion I<= that he niifiht reap the profits of :\ promoter. A promoter may fometinifs get shares not Issued for money "r property purchased. Such shares, viewed from the legal standpoint, are not of much value. But be may also get by contract fully paid shares. It is pre sumably of such shares that the complainant de sires an account. Now. on what basis- could there \<r an equitable division of sin h shares? The complainant charges that It was r part of his plan, personally, to contribute up to Sjoi.iko., if neceeimry He has. tu fa.-t. contributed nothing. The plan contemplated the raising of H5.000.000. Ryan's interest In the company would depend. In part, upon the extent to which he had himself contributed, and. in part, upon other considera tions having no relation to the complainant. This being so. it would seem to he Utterly Impossible on any recognised basis of apportionment to take from Ryan a part of his shares and giv»- them to the complainant. complainant, no doubt, expected to secure Rbares, Partly In return for the money to he put In by him «»nd for services to he performed t-y him. and partly for the prior work done in fornmlatbig the scheme. How mirh his collaborators in the undertaking. had they taken him in. would have nllowed him for what he had done, or would do. is altogether conjectural. It would naturally have lieen n matter of express contract. 1 am quite unable t.> ser h'W a court of equity could mnke him nti allowance by way rft account nf profits, bused upon a condition of affairs wholly unanticipated nnd wholly un provided for. Manifestly, the only way of' com pensating him on any rational basis would be to ascertain what his plan was reasonably worth and then give him damages This, of course would presuppose a property right In the plan Conced ing such right, the damages, if recoverable at M n would be recoverable in a court of law in an action on the case, and not in equity. T think the complainants" bill should be dis missed BUSY CHANNEL BLOCKED. Bridge Draw Wrecked at Duluth Thirty-five Steamers Held Up. Duluth. Minn.. Aus. 11 -The wrecking of rh« Interst.Tte* Bridge this morning by a steamer i,:ts completely blocked navigation to the upner harbor. and to-night thirty-five big steamers are Tier! up. and streetcar and team traffic between Superior and Duluth is impossible, except by ferries, it la hoped, however, that navigation will be opened within a few hours, as a contract was signed late this afternoon under which the channel was to be clear for navigation by midnight. A larse force i>f men are now at work, and the contractor is san guine that the passage will be ready at the time set The accident was caused by the MM-ton steel freighter Troy, which hit the draw span of th« bridge, knocking it from the pier on whtali : r« volves and blocking the channel on both s.d^s of the pier. Edward Williams, the night engineer In charge of the bridge, .'eelares that the Troy approached the bridge and blew for It to open in the usual way. "She seemed to be about 500 t^» 6(i© feet distant." said Williams. "I at once started to open the* draw, and when I had it one-third open the steamer struck it about twenty feet from the cen tr«» pier In the channel r»n the Superior side. The span gave way." The bridge is owned by the «Jrej>t Northern Kail road. The draw span was u<>o feet In length, one of. the longest in the world. Thirty-five, steamers now In the- upper harbor nre cut off from returning to the lake or tn the Du luth side of the harbor. Most of the cnal pockets nre on the upper bnrbur. ulao many of the grain elevators, merchandise pl"rs and the shipyards on the Superior fide. Water communication with all th!fi is cut off. The great part of tiie tonnage of the Duluth Superior harbor originates in St. Louis Bay. where nre the pic-rs of the Duluth, MisKabe Jk Northern road. The steamer was badly damaged, her bow bring Move in. Th« bridge cannot b« put in commission again Ihir season. Kstimates of th# financial |0.-4s fo the bridge alone vary from Jlun.OO) to l@oo.ouo. The bridge, when built, was bnnded for MOA.OOO and cost, approximately. U.fluO.OM. The pier whleh held the balanced draw span is not badly injured and it Is believed that, with salvage subtracted, the actual loss will not exceed »00,COC .//./. STF.EL TUNNEL CAHS. Pennsylvania Railroad Evolves New Fireproof Coaches. "AH future passenger equipment of the Penn sylvania Railroad will be made of steel. The neces sity of providing non-collapsible, absolutely tire proof passenger cars for the New York tunnel has simply hastened the day when this transformation must take place. The car of the future must be as safe as engineering science can make it." This statement was authorized yesterday by a high official in the motive power department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and it follows the experi mental use of the new all-steel Pennsylvania coach. No. 1651. This car was placed temporarily on one of the company's regular local runs. The future passenger equipment is to be of steel, not only si. el frame and box. but steel and non combustible material In every particular. This will involve a large expenditure, but the management feel that no expense be spared to remove the danger from fire and collision in future railroading. One thousand of the new cars will be ready when the New York tunnel is completed. There will also be some five hundred Pullman cars which will also be of completely non-combustible construction. At the request of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pull man Company is now building the first all-steel sleeper ever constructed. So-called steel coaches have been built for the New York subway, but they have been only partly of steel. The first a'.l-steel car to be built is saldj to be Xo. 1651. The new car weighs 103..V.0 pounds, against 84,900 for the standard wuodfn coach, but it Is found that the added weight greatly reduces the vibration and VMs to the comfort of the passengers, No incon siderable part of the additional weight is due to the burden involved in carrying .-t-«raye batteries and battery boxes. All the now cars are to be lighted by electricity, and the Pennsylvania will carry no gas, illuminated cars of any kind into the New York tunnel. The electric wires in the new cars are insulated in heavy metal conduits, thus adding to the safety. The new car is non-collapsible. Its hidden frame is like a cantilever bridge, suspended on the trucks as piers. This safety against telescoping is secured by the use of enormous steel girders, the principal feature in th» body of the car being a central box girder 24 lies wide by 19 inches deep, extending throughout the length of the coach. To show something of the effort made to make this car absolutely fireproof, it is only necessary to state that the flooring throughout the car and plat form consists of an imitation of stone spread while in a plastic state over the steel plates of the car. The framing above the windows is composed of steel plates The doors are ' composed of ste l prates pressed into a shape imitating the wooden doors used in other cars, and filled with cork to deaden the sound. The roof is constructed of composite boards covered with copper sheath ing. The inside lining consists of composite boards covered with fireproof paint. XEIV HAVEN STRIK E ENDS. Switchmen Not to Have Old Jobs, Union to Fill Them. New Haven, Aug. 11.— The strike of the switchmen in the local yards of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad is declared to be at an end by Seconr] Grand Vice- President Val t*itzpatrick of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainman, who has not only ordered the strikers to return to work If they can get th«ir old places, but. further, orders all local unions to assist the grand officers in filling the* vacancies here with competent men. The order to en»i the strike was given to-night in the form of a notice to the chairmen of local grievance committees on the New Haven system* and by the posting of a duplicate copy here, so that it could lie read, by the striking switchmen. Mr. FHzpatrtck maintains that the sincerity of purpose of the brotherhood in its dealings and agreements with the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad must l>" upheld, and, a- he finds that the strike was both illegal and un warranted, and as the company will refuse to take liack the strikers, th^ duty of the brother hood, through the grand offl< ere, is t<< tiil every striker':; place with competent, trustworthy men. even if men must l>e taken from other railroads for the time being.
