December 16.?R?- 1 mors of several weeks which culmi- i naiea ihsi nigni in rne anmiuncemeiii that races would be conducted today at the City Park race track and that bookmaking would be allowed in spite of the Locke anti-racing: law. was in ^ reality nothing more than an invitation from W. w. Lyles. a Kentucky turfman, supposed to-be representing Ed Corrigan.. to the New Orleans po- 1 li< o to attend the opening of the meet. I The police will accept the invitation. , It omitted to mention the time, but inasmuch as* the bookmaker and the persons registering bets expect to be arrested. it is probable that they will put 1 the police to as little trouble as pos- < sible and call the first and probably the Inst race early in the afternoon. Today's meet is nothing more or less than the lorg-threatened attempt to '' test the so-called Locke law, which J prohibits bookmaking. It is under- ' stood that the meet will come to at 1 least a temporary close as soon as the ' arrests are made* E. Howard MeCaleb. counsel for the ' racing people, said bets will be enter- ] ed on a slate. "That is not bookmaking." said Mr. MeCaleb. "but slatemaking, and the , Locke law does not prohibit slate- ' " making. There is an injunction we can secure. We can go to the court, l the district court or any one of several , others. No, I don't think it will be \ necessary to go Into the federal court." The lightest penalty provided for violating the Locke law is a fine of $100, with six months in jail. MAT BELONG TO GANG OF TEGS. Four Alleged Post Office Bobbers Ar-' rested at Tazewell, Va. ROANOKE. Va.. December 16.?Four alleged post office robbers were arrested Monday night at Tazewell. Va., and are in jail there. Post office Inspectors say one of the men is J. R. Cunning, known | as "Shorty."

The last surviving chief of the old Bourbon brigand bands, which were secretly subsidized by tihat dynasty and infested j (vell-nigh the whole of southern Italy in I Lite 60s, has been pardoned by King Victor Emmanuel and was released from the convict prison at Fayignana recently. This venerable, benevolent-looking old man. wltose name is Vhieenzo Rucci, is now eighty-two years of age. At the end it a forlorn campaign, which- lie carried an for six years at the head of a big body it banditti, with the object of reinstating the Bourbons, he fell into the clutches ot the soldiers of the new regime, and was sentenced to death by the supreme court it Langiano in 1806 for the assassination it a German engineer named Victor and a liberal Catholic archpriest, Don Giuseppe, both of whom were supposed to be salaried spies co-operating with t?he new government in the repression of brigandage, i The death sentence was afterward com- ! muted to penal servitude. Having served six years. Rucci organized a clever plot, and in 1872 succeeded In escaping, in company with ten convict comrades. Reeaptmed after sixteen months of liberty, Rucci was kept heavily laden with chains till as late as 181>2, when the ministry of justice sanctioned their removal. ts Are Cured n i n i kidney itemeay TK ? u> want every per * rrOOI *on who suffers with any form of Kidney ailment. no matter bow many remedies they have tried, no matter how many doc. tors they have cor. suited, no matter how serious the give Munyon's Kid9 BjjB You will be astonished jflHfc to see how quickly It |Qk relieves alt oalns lu 'jfi&r the bai.-lc. loins and V groin* caused I"- the Kidneys.

The annual A sessions- of the National Civic; Federation V in this city were brought to a close last * night with a brilliant, banquet which 5, grouped together at one of the fivescore of Individual tables the next President j|j on/1 Tnft Comiiol llAmnArct nrooMntl t QIIU o. i mi. ><<i ?i* ?t*- i o, I" '??" | of the American Ffdfration of Labor; & August Bolniont.

Seth T.ow of the federation and Mrs. Low; . former Judge and Mrs. Alton B. Parker A and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. V At other tables about the banquet hall j of the Hotel Aslor sat employers and employes of many corporations. John D. Rorkefeller. jr.. and "Frank B. Kellogg, A who has been prosecuting the govern- *i ment's inquiry into the Standard Oil Company, were near neighbors, though Y not at the same table. Andrew Carnegie V and John Mitchell sat side by side. J The notable throng of men and women A brought together hv the federation led Mr. Taft. wiio \vas> the principal speaker ? of the evening, to remark that lie had #X( been sitting with company with which it hardly would have been weli for him to associate prior to the election. He then a declared, amid cheers, that all that had A happened before the election was as a A closed hook to him. and lie would be the ?S President of all ibe people. A Last of Eight Speakers. Ijl Mr. Tnft was the litst of eight speakers. Those who preceded him were Mr. A I.ow. who acted as toastmaster. and Messrs. Mitchell, Gotnpers. Carnegie. Bel- *3 niont. Ingalls and Garretson. Mr. Taft *t] spoke entirely extemporaneously, and A briefly. ^ Much had been said during the evening *;] concerning the problem of the "twilight zone," where state jurisdiction ends and ' I federal authority begins. t' The Sherman anti-trust law also had *J, been attacked by Mr. Ingalls, who as- A sailed it as an antiquated measure which A should be entirely driven from the stat- A tite books. Mr. Taft came to the rescue of A the Sherman law. and said that while lie } believed witli others that certain amend- A menfs were necessary, he would be op- A posed to any attempt at its repeal. As A to the "twilight zone" and its problems. A M,r. Taft declared the country had got } along very well under the Constitution. V and he believed It would find that Instru- Y ment all-wise and indispensable. ^ "Mixture" Entirely Safe. "It is a great pleasure to l>e here tonight." said Mr. Taft. "laioking about me. I see some who, before election, it would not have been well for me to as sociate with." but with the mixture that is here tonight the association is entirely m safe, f am a great believer in tthe efflrleney of the National Civic Federation. * I believe that mos: of our differences and J?f our controversies are really the result of ,,, misunderstandings which would enth-eiy *s, disappear If the contending forces could be brought together. When we do come j* together we usualig find that we agree on J?, most points and differ as to few. V* "Time was when everybody who emplo>ed labor was opposed to labor unions. ~ Time was when these organizations were , regarded as a menace. That time now has largely passed away, and the man . who today objects to the organization of labor should be relegated to the last cen- ;l tury. Labor unions have done marvels f for labor, and in the future will do more. They will avoid that reduction to a dead level of all workingmen, whether earnest and energetic or shiftless in their work. Leadership and Reward. w "l.abor unions will encourage workingmen not to a level down, but to a level m up. and will exemplify that those who w lead iti energy will have the leadership re and reward. "Time was, too, when those who labor with their hands violently opposed the . introduction of machinery as a menace L to labor. But through intelligent discus- SF sion and understanding that controversy ?a has passed away and ceases to be a contention between the employer and the em- CQ ployed. Trade agreements, which have been the constant subjects of disagree- w merits in fie nasi have now coma t<-? ho Of regarded as making for peace." Mr. Taft declared that he believed that Pr laborers, on the one hand, and capitalists on the other, have equal rights of or- Wl ganlzatlon for the protection of their own Pi interests. He believed that in this way at and through these organizations they could meet on level ground, neither at af arm's length nor one at the mercy of the other. Pi Battered Old Constitution. ^ "I feel a delicacy." said Mr. Taft, amid laughter, "in discussing some of the sub-!aI ry jects that have been touched upon here! .j tonight, for I am sworn, or will be sworn "tj, soon, to uphold the Constitution of the 01 United States. F5ut I feel I really must jf rally to the support of that battered old P1 instrument which has been so widely dis- e cussed. It Is true that it is ancient of origin, but we have gotten along pretty n< well under it. I "We have differed at times about the P' meaning of some of its provisions, but we hi still have a most efficient government. There have been problems In the past which seemed as difficult as that of the 'twilight zone,' and the proper apportionment of state and federal power, but they have been solved. "And I think now that we can depend k upon the acumen, the patriotism and the ability of the members of the Supreme t'ourt of the United States to recognize J; the necessities that from time to time . arise in our progress, to so construe the '' Constitution as to enable us to carry out ' the reforms that are needed as the nation " advances, giving to the government the , power of dealing broadly with the greater problems and the states the power of dealing with the lesser ones. Not to Be Perverted. n "By this 1 do not mean at all that the j* Constitution is to be perverted. But when we examine that wonderful instrument we rr find that the men who made it. made it fs short, comprehensive and simple that It ? might dp open ior us to carry oui wnai . the future had in its womb?problems ol v> which they could see only the hazy out- u lines. ii "Having thus acknowledged fealty to t, the Constitution, I want to say that I ant ^ not quite ready either to part with the a anti-trust or Shermun law. I will agree f, that it probably needs amendment, but t ]f do not think the amendments should be a too extensive. Tt is more Important to f, enforce that law than to repeal it. The o difficulties with reference to legislation jy like that are the loose statements and the D sketchy, impressionistic pictures that are ,, draw.n concerning it. without study ot the necessity of making definite what Is a crime, what is an offense and what should be subjected to the equal control of the courts.
