The Commissioners today approved the general purposes of Senate bill 1305, to amend an act relating to the incorporation of certain corporations within the District of Columbia. The first proviso of the bill is for the relief of the Union Security Com- pany, which was organized last February. ‘The capital stock was put at $1,000,000, the minimum amount authorized by the act. It was found impossible to raise that much, and the bill was introduced to get a reauc- tion in the capital stock. Severe Gales Prevailing in the Eng- lish Channel, CONSUL SAVAGE OF DUNDEE DEAD. Growth of a Bohemian Anarchist Society. OTHER MATTERS BY CABLE. LONDON, Jan. 3.—A blinding snow storm, accompanied by a heavy’ wind and furious sea, prevailed in the English channel last night. The packet service between English and French ports was interrupted and some of the steamers suffered damage.The packet from Ostend was unable to land at Dover, owing to the tremendous sea, and put out into the channel again to await high water, when it was thought the storm would abate somewhat. A dispatch from Broadstairs, on the east coast of the Island of Thanet, county of Kent, says that three vessels off that coast displayed signals of distress late last even- ing and that the Broadstairs Hfeboat put out to render assistance. No headway could be made against the gale and the boat was compelled to stand off and make for Rams- gate, two miles south of Broadstairs. Here the assistance of a tug was procured and the lifeboat was towed to one of the disabled or wrecked vessels. In the meantime, so far as can be learned, two of the vessels that had signaled for assistance had disappeared, and it is be- lieved by many persons that they foun- dered. It is possible, however, that they managed to claw off shore and stand out to sea. It is thought that the lifeboat stood by the remaining vessel and that she took off the crew this morning. At the time the dispatch was sent the lifeboat had not re- turned. A fishing smack that had lost its bearings ran ashore at Broadstairs. All on board of her managed to reach shore safely. The German ship Georg, C: Schotz, from Bremen for New York, which was towed into Dover roads January 1, disabled, was seen to be drifting on the shore at Do- ver during the gale. Tugboats went to her assistance, and it thought that she was taken out of danger be CONSUL SAVAGE DEAD. The American Representative at Dun- dee Passes Away. DUNDEE, Scotland, Jan. 3.—Mr. George W. Savage, the American consul at this place, died this morning after a lingering illness. For two months he has been in- capacitated by age and increasing feeble- ness from performing the duties of his office, but it was only recently that he de- veloped alarming symptoms. George W. Savage, consul to Dundee, Scotland, who died in that city this morn- ing, was born at West Point, N. Y., in 1815, his father being in com:mand of the United States troops stationed there at that time. Mr. Savage was aproir ted consul to Bel- fast, Ireland, under President Cleveland’ first administration and to lee, Scot- land, in 1893. He was appointed the first law judge of the Union county common pleas court, by Gov. Olden, and acted as draft_commissioner during’ the late war. Mr. Savage was the first president of the board of underwriters of New York, repre- senting the London Merchants’ Associa- tion in the board and was the father of the national board of underwriters. He took a very active part in organizing the present fire patrol of New Ycrk city, having been president of the National, International and Star Companies at various periods. He located in Rahway, N. J., in 1853, and re- tired from business many years ago. He was a man of fine physique and command- ing appearance. He was married twice and leaves a wife and five grown sons, OA r THE OMLADINA, It;49 Claimed to Have a Membership of Seven Hundred. VIENNA, Jan. 3.—It has been learned that the Omladina Society, the headquarters of which was at Prague, Bohemia, had a membership of 700, and that the society was closely connected with the anarchists in Vienna and other parts of the country. — The Omladina, it will be recalled, is the society that owed its origin to Rudolph Mrva, who was assassinated a short time ago by some of the members, who, it is said, had learned that Mrva was an agent provacateur of the police, and was engaged in systematically betraying the members of the society to the authorities. In conse- quence of the discovery of the connection of the Omladina with the anarchists, the pros- ecution of the members of the latter organ- ization now under arrest here will be post- poned until after the trial of the members of the Omladina now in custody, as it is ; thought that much of the testimony in the latter case can be used to convict the an- archists. Among the members of the Om- ladina are Russians, Galecians and Hunga- rians. GROSS MISMANAGEMENT CHARGED. Difficulty of English Exhibitors in Getting Their Goods From Chicago. LONDON, Jan. 3.—Truth today publishes an article in reference to the Chicago Co- lumbian exhibition, in which it says that perfect chaos prevails in the management ‘ or ex-management of the fair. It adds that unless some superior authority comes to the | rescue, the prospects of any British exhibi- tor getting his goods back safely are ex- tremely remote. The forwarding agents state that it was fully three weeks after the closing of the exhibition that they got possession of the package cases for the goods to be sent back to England. It is re- ported, Truth says, that the Columbian guards were withdrawn on January 1, leav- ing the buildings free to looters, News From the San Francisco. LUNDON, Jan. 3.—A dispatch from Per- nambuco, dated yesterday, says that the’ American cruiser San Francisco, the flag- ship of Rear Admiral Benham, has received orders to join the American squadron at Rio Janeiro. She filled her bunkers with coal at Pernambuco, and intended to sail for her destination today. The usual in- ternational salutes were exchanged on New Year da; Rear Admiral! Benham visited the governor of Pernambuco yesterd: and later the governor returned the visit on board the San Francisco. German Soldiers Growing Less Stal- wart. BERLIN, Jan. 3.—The war departme: order that aluminum vessels be substituted in several tegiments for the heavier vessels now carried by the soldiers is due to the reduction of the physical standard among recruits since the new army law went into effect. Many of the men now to be accepted will not be able to carry the present amount of baggage on forced marches unless lighter metal be used in the dishes. An experiment with aluminum helmets will also be made. The Matiny in the Cameroons. BERLIN, Jan. 3.—The colonial office states that the recent mutiny in the Cameroons was entirely due to the improper absence of the German gunboat Hyaiene, which had gone off on a cruise for the benefit of health of her officers and crew. The leaders of the mutiny were Dahomeyans who had formerly been slaves and who were serving the Ger- mans in return for the price paid for their freedom. it is stated that Lieut. Morgen or Baron Stetin will probably be appointed governor of the Cameroons. Ducret’s Determination Not Changed. PARIS, Jan. 3.—Ducret, editor of the Cocarde, who was pardoned by President Carnot on New Year day, after serving about four months of a one year’s sen- tence, imposed on him for complicity in the forgery of documents alleged to have been stolen from the British embassy in Paris, says that he intends to continue his former campaign. He also says that he is con- vinced that the mulatto, Norton, who was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for forging the documents, did not act alone in the matter. Ducret is determined, he says, to ferret out the matter to the end. Bookmaking and Winter Tracke Have Done the Work. Origin: y the Sport of Kings, It Has Come to Be a Tool tor Betting. Racing is no longer “the sport of kings.” It is to be regretted that under the system known as “bookmaking” it has become a sport in which even gentlemen indulge with many twinges of conscience, because of the associations that have become woven into the warp and woof of the sport. Primarily, racing was introduced to improve the breed of horses. Betting, originally, was begotten by the rivalry between owners and the partisans of the several horses in a race, and has become such a passion among the Anglo-Saxons of America that the thorough- bred, the most perfect specimen of the equine race, is nothing more nor less than @ gigantic gambling machine. His plebelan brother, the American trotter, it is to bé regretted, is fast following in his footsteps. Gamblers excluded, every man who be- lieves in improving the blood-horse regrets that betting has become necessary to the success of race meetings. Could gambling be eliminated from racing the undesirable elements would not dominate the race course as they now do, and the track would be sought more frequently by our wives and daughters. So interwoven, however, is bet- ting with racing that there is little doubt if the law against it 1s rigidly enforced, nearly, if not quite, every race course in the United States will for a long time be snut up, and as a necessary consequence a severe blow delivered to the breeding interests of the country, as far as it relates to the blood- horse. But while this is true, and while also the loss to breeders all over the country would be greater than it now is, for tnere is already a great depression in the horse- breeding industry, owing to over-production, when tne great question of public morals is at stake the interrogatory as to which siall be sacrinced is easily answered by every citizen who has at heart the weifare of society. A History of Bookmaking. At this juncture, when our local courts are about to be engaged with the trial of an alleggd violation of the law against betting on one of the tracks of the District, a brief history of bookmaking and its off- spring, winter racing, may prove instruc- tive, as well as interesting. Each had its inception in what fs known as dash racing. A dash race, except between half-breds on country roads‘in the vicinity of a tavern, or at country fairs, was not tolerated by gentlemen who raced thoroughbreds pre- vious to 1861. Races prior to this period were usually run in two, three and four mile heats, endurance being considered a greater desideratum than speed. In 1864 dash racing was maugurated at Saratoga as an xperiment, and in imitation of a like sport that had gradually been growing in public favor in England. John Morrissey was one of the moving spirits in the venture, and society at the springs, then as now, was quick to patronize everything labeled Eng- lish. The system proved a howling success from the start. Recognizing its popularity, the shrewd turfman, Leonard Jerome, back- ed by August Belmont, William Astor and others, founded Jerome Park. Mr. Bel- mont’s idea in adopting it,however, was not make money, but to afford sport in which gentlemen could indulge. While Jerome Park was a silk stocking organization, and heavily patronized by the wealthy class, Morrissey, at Saratoga, catered to the populace and daily coined the dollars. He was shrewd enough to see that the public preferred to witness five short races in an afternoon, instead of two long ores, Contests between two-year-olds were also encouraged, and poolselling was es- tablished from the beginning. While Mor- |rissey adhered to the system of French pools, Jerome and his associates transplant- ed the English system of bookmaking to American soil, where, like the English spar- row, it has conquered a habitation and a name, and has more than held its own, al- though less fair and honest to the bettor than the French mutual plan. At Monmouth Park. Stimulated by Morrissey’s success at Sar- atoga John Chamberlain and other sporting men of New York established a track at Long Brancti, known as Monmouth Park. This was in 1870. Bookmaking was an essential feature of money making, and the Monmouth Park Association was the first in the racing annals of the United States to openly proclaim that it was not doing business solely for its health, but for the money that was in it. Then followed in succession the brood known as the Brigh- ton Beach and Sheepshead Bay associa- tions. In the meantime the passion of gambling had been stimulated to a white heat among the middle and lower classes, until there had been created a constituency of gamblers, male and female, that reached far into the thousands in New York and within a radius of sixty miles of the several race tracks. The passion of gambling be- came a craving one. It did not take the associations named long to see that patron- age for continuous racing could be had. Then it was that winter racing was added to the program at the tracks controlled by the several associations, the revenue being mainly derived from the percentage paid by bookmakers to do business, who could afford to pay large sums, when they got 99 per cent on the average, while the bettors only got one. As the citizens in the vicinity of the above tracks rose in their wrath and drove out winter racing the fer- tile minds of the race track men founded the Guttenberg track, vulgarly known as the “Gut.” Routed from the last named resort, a brief engagement was recently played at Benning, and a briefer one still at Ivy City. As fast as the octopus has lost one tentacle it has thrust out another. Whether its hold on Ivy City is permanent or not the courts will soon decide. * Profits of the Business. As an exemplification of the profits of bookmaking and as an illustration of how necessary it is to the success of modern race meetings it was stated, by a member of a local racing association in the presence of the writer during a recent meeting, that if the gates of the track were thrown wide open to the public the club, he believed, would make more money than it was then making by charging an entrance fee. What he meant was that more people would at- tend, more books would go on and betting j would be stimulated thereby. Bookmaking has not only revolutionized racing in the | United States in the manner already stated, | but in addition thereto it is largely respon- sible for the low state of morals that exists upon the turf, and thereby has brought racing into disrepute. It is responsible also for the revolution that has gradually gone on in the ownership of horses that are raced. Gentlemen of high character still own and race horses, and all who are in- terested in thé sport know who they are, and it is equally well known that they are sadly in the minority. it was to the inter- est of bookmaking that the ownership in race horses should be diffused, hence by the aid of bookmakers shrewd fellows who were mere “rubbers” of the thoroughbred, and the trotter as well, a few years since now either own or control horses. With such influences insidiously at work it does not require a diagram to explain why rac- ing, founded for a noble purpose and for the development of a noble animal, has fallen into such disreput ———— CONTEST OVER LOTTERIES, New Orle: d@ Country Districts in Louisiana Opposed. The Louisiana state lottery closed up bus- iness at New Orleans on December 30, and moved away, but it is evident that the lot- tery business is not to be surrendered en- tirely, for the several lottery shops opened as usual yesterday and began selling tickets in a daily drawing, conducted by the “New Orleans Premium Club.” Some of the yena- ers were arrested for violating the anti- lottery law, the desire being to make a case. It is understood that the old Louisiana lottery is not running these new concerns, but that their backing comes mainly from local politicians, and that the present city government will aid the lottery. At the last election New Orleans voted 2 to 1 in or of the continuance of the lottery, but was outvoted by the country districts. It is evident that an attempt will be made to continue the lottery system in the city, in spite of the state officers, and there is promised a conflict between the state and the city authorities over the matter. st INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS. tt} SoreksSsbses EXCURSIONS, &c. .

John Wetherell and his wife, Jennie, were arrested last night by Detectives Rhodes and Wheeler and locked up as suspicious characters, their actions for the last week having led the officers to the conclusion that they were engaged in working what is known as “the badger game,” wherein it is the part of the woman to entice men to her room, then have the husband break in upon them and thereafter a stormy scene, have the matter smoothed over upon the payment by the lured man of a sum of money to the alleged outraged husband. Wetherell gave his age as thirty and his wife admitted that she enjoyed twenty-six summers. The man and woman were neat- ly and well dressed, the woman being par- ticularly attractive. This morning they were brought before Judge Kimball, charg- ed with being suspicious characters. Detective Rhodes testified that he had shadowed the couple for the past week, having had his suspicions aroused by the strange actions of the two. He had seen them frequent eating saloons, when, after leaving the places, the couple would sepa- rate, the woman later picking up any man she could. He had traced the man to Benga A ag 9th = a} streets, w such a could ccessfully carried out, but had never succeeded. i tracing the woman and the men she picked up to their resting place. He had seen the woman pick up men as late as 11:30 night. The man had admitted to the wit- ness that he and the woman were the officers explained, were man to lock on the outside the room into which the woman enticed her victims, the ring being so wrapped cord as to prevent a noise when the fell in it, while the gimlet was used to a hole for peeping purposes. The “boodle package” was a roll of paper wrapped around with a $1 bill. Wetherell stated that the woman was his wife and that they had stopped at the Ash- ton House, but denied that either had done or intended doing wrong. He said he was a bookmaker, thrown out of employment by the stoppage of betting at the Ivy City track. He could give no satisfactory ex- a 6 a Oe, eee bs pacl “What do you want done with this cou- ple?” asked the court of Prosecuting At- torney Pugh. “I will be satisfied if they leave town at once,” replied Mr. Pugh. ‘That course met the approval of the court, and the couple were put under per- sonal bonds to leave town at once, which they gladly agreed to do. Before being re- leased, however, their pictures were taken for the “rogues’ gallery.” eRe SA DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, A Protest. A petition, signed by Henry Vogel, John C. Weedon, Christiana K. Raab and Henry W. Kern, was presented to the Commis- sioners this morning protesting against the issuance of a liquor license to John Jamison, 1502 B street southeast. Fines Approved. The Commissioners have approved the findings of the police trial board in the fol- lowing cases: Private W. W. Andrews, neglect of duty, fined $10; Private T. J. Roberts, neglect of duty, fined $10, and Private W. W. Men- denhall, neglect of duty, fined $10, An Assessment Complaint. The Commissioners today received the following letter from M. Jane Shaw, rela- tive to the late assessment: “It has been my purpose ever since I went to the tax office in November, to add | my protest against the action of the last assessors. From what I had read in the local papers after my return to the city, I feared to ask for my tax bill till late in the month,thinking it might be higher than last year, and when I found twenty-five dol- lars had been added, I can assure you I was angered. As I look at it there was just about as good reason for such an ad- vance as there would be for some one to take that sum out of my pocket without my knowledge and consent. As a sample of the judgment exercised by assessoré let | me say one house which costs a thousand | more is assessed $400 less than another. I certainly hope another and fairer assess- ment will be made before another year passes.” ee First jue Book.
