Special Dispatch to The Call. REDWOOD "CITY, Dee. 3.—Racing in Ban Mateo County is to be limited to thirty days in each fiscal year. This and no more can the horsemen have for their sport. The Supervisors of the county have not vet adopted the ordi- nance which will make this restriction & law, but they have indicated their pur- pose to do so and steps have already been taken which advance the reform well on toward accomplishment. An exciting meeting of the Supervisors was held to- day to consider the matter and on De- cember 17 it is expected that the ordi- nance-of restriction will be adopted. When the Supervisors met to-day, the Rev. Dr. Martin, one of the prominent clergymen of the county, appeared with & petition asking that racing be limited in the county to a period of thirty days. The reverend gentleman represented men of all classes, creeds and reputable con- dition in the county. The petition was Bigned by these men and was as follows: To _the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Ban Mateo County: Your petitioners respectfully request the en- actment of an ordinance forbidding horse ™ ing in this county for more than thirty da in any fiscal year. This petition is founded upon a desire to protect the county from the evils that inv. ably result from “unlimited racing. Wherever euch racing has been permitted there has been developed in the community e practice of habitual gambling that has affected every class of the community and p: uced all forms of crime from embezzlement to suicide. _The ex:grience of all great cities In the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast has demonstrated that there is a wide | difference between legitimate racing held for @ limited season in each year and designed for the encouragement of horse breeding and that unlimited racing whose chief object is to pro- vide a means for gambling. The one -bas been a benefit to the community, the other has been a blight. 8o notorious have been the crimes developing directly from track gambiing that unlimited racing i= now prohibited In every | important community in Ameriea. The crimes resulting from the alluremen and corruptions of track gambling in San Francisco were such as to compel the closing of the track there. Among those crimes were defalcations, robberles, murder and suicide. Nor were those offenses committed solely by low and vicious men. On the contrary, some of the most respected families in the city are mourning to this day because Some member was | tempted to crime by assoclations with the track, It is known that around the tracks where un- limited- racing is permitted there gather all mannerof disreputablemen and women, and that their corrupting Influgnces are widely felt, par- ticularly by the young. San Mateo County be- ing in & pecial sense a community of homes would suffer the gravest evils from the tolera- tion of such a class of persons around a race track within the county limits. In the county there are no slums in which touts and toug of the track gang could hide out of sight, so they would be always a conspicuous allurement to vice. Moreover, the county has no extensive Eh]]ce force to keep watch on the criminal and oodlum elements of the track gangs, and con- sequently their presence in the county would be a menace to property and person. Your petitioners for these reasons believe tho welfare of the county, both morally and mate- rially, demands that strict limitations be put ADVERTISEMENTS. County Will Limit,| upon horse racing here, as is done elsewhere, and accordingly we petition, that such limit be | fixed at thirty days in ea fiscal year. 1 Accompanying the petition was the pro- posed ordinance limiting racing to thirty | days. The document was as follows: i ORDINANCE. NO..... 4 The Board of Supervisors of the county of | San Mateo do ordain as follows: | | | | Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any per son, firm, partnership, association, corporation or fndividual, at any place within the county of San Mateo, either within or Without the in- closure ‘of a race track, park or grounds. to hold or give or permit or conduct horse races or horse race meetings or contests of speed or endurance 'between horses for any purse. | stake or premium for any period of time longer ! in or during any fiscal | ateo. | % 2. 1t shall be unla 1 for any person. I firm, individual, corporation or association own- ing or operating or conducting or in control of any racetrack, park or inclosure within the county of San Mateo whereon races have been | held during any fiscal year, for the time per- | mitted by this ordinance, to thereafter. during | such fiscal year, permit or suffer or allow an: other on, firm, assoclation, corporation or | individual to hold, conduct, manage or take part in any horse race or any contest of en- | durance or ‘speed or race between horses within | said racetrack, park or inclosure. i Sec. 2. Any person, ton, cor- | firm, assodi poration or_individuai violating a#y of the | provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed gwity of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both The presentation of the petition and the proposed ordinance provoked a discussion whick was extremely animated, and reached 2t one stage a point where the de- baters called one another emphatic triflers with ihe truth. The Rev. Dr. Martin pleaded eloquently for the ordinance on the lines suggested in his petition. He | was followed by his only antagonist, W. J. Martin, president of the South San | Francisco Land and Improvement Com- pany, who appeared for the racetrack peo- Tanforan and, he said, for other interests, ‘including the San 0 and San Mateo Railroad Com- pany. While he wa, aking the Rev. Mr. Martin interjected, and both gentlemen were called to order by President McEi- voy of the Board of Supervisors, President McElvoy announced that the board had decided to limit racing in the county to thirty-six days, but the mem- bers had no wish to take snap judgment on the racing men, and would set Decem- | ber 17 for the final hearing of the case. The racing men will then be heard, but no petition from*them is desired. This places racing in San Mateo in a | peculiar situation.

CALIFORNIA T FREE He Is Forced From the Field Into Which He Brought Scandal, Disgrace and . | the Debauchery Racing in California has been freed for- ever from the contamination of Edward Corrigan. The influence which prostituted a legitimate and high-class sport into a | game of desperate profit for thieves, | blacklegs and scoundrels of every degree | and character has been removed. Ed-| ward Corrigan's name will not be heard | again on the California turf and the sport which he degraded, which he made a menace to every home in San Francisco, will be restored to the plane of décency in which he found it when he came to | the coast. Edward Corrigan has been| forced out of the only racing institution on the coast in which he had a standing. This must be a subject of congratula- tion to every man who loves honest sport, to every one who does not want honest men to become thieves, to all who fear influences which breed crimes ranging from defalcation to murder. Corrigan’'s influence on the race courses of California | has been that of disease. He has run his race and as far as California sportsmen are concerned will live only as a disagre- able memory. Several days ago The Call published ex- clusively an account of the negotiations which were on between Ed Corrigan and his associate, Joe Ullman, and the San Francisco Jockey Club, represented by Prince Poniatowski and his associates. In ihe crash in which Corrigan fell Ullman also went down and the turf of California For some time Prince Poniatowski has been endeavoring to secure the stock which Corrigan and Ullman held in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, whose prop- erty is at Ingleside. The Crocker-Woolworth Bank, which s backing Poniatowski in the San Francls- co Jockey Club, naturally was deeply fearful for the success of the venture while the shadow of the names of Corri- an and Ullman was upon it.

But Corrigan and Uliman showed their greed. They demandec not only the amounts of their original investments in stock, but interest up to date. After kill- ing in San Francisco the sport which made Ingleside an investment of profit, they insisted that they should be paid i’ terest on the evil they had done. Thev fought several days for this point ani then lost. They were given the amounts of their investments and a trifle more, which does not by any means represent | demanded.

He bragged also that he could silence newspaper criticism which was not to his liking and censure which ex- posed his shameful methods.

Ingleside was closed by the law. Corri- gsn had gone toc far in his attacks upon ecency in sport and honesty in adminis- tration. Theft, defalcation. robbery, vio- lence, suicide, murder had been the fruits of the terrible-game which Corr} had substituted for racing. The people of the city afose in revolt and the place was closed.
