Middletown, May $.—Through a ! vote of the student body at Wesleyan, ' PASSES SENATE| —Livic Leaguers Opposed It May 3.—Theo Boylan " bill i the bookmaking law was the senate yesterday by & vote of 26 to 17. The measure makes anti- bling prohibition more re- strictive, but at the same time tends to protect -the interests of racing and i the racegoers. ! Representatives of reform organisa- tions opposed the bill. They sald it would weaken the present laws. In moving it for pagsage Senator Boylan merely stated it was advocated by the district attorney of . Queens county, where several race; tracks are located. The bill adds t‘a following clause to the present laws: “A person shall be guilty under this section of bookmaking without writing if he shall solicit or make generally with the public bets or wagers or ac- cept the same, or shall make any such bets or wagers accompanied with the delivery of the money .80 bet or wagered. The measure received just enough votes in the senate to pass it. It must now go to the assembly. The- Clvic League, which is vigor- ously opposing the measure, insists that the bill would lezalize betting ua- accompanied by money and would make it necessary in ofder fo conviuvt a bookmaker to prove that he had made bets with the public generally.
