j WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The
j Senate held a night session last
night, devoted entirely to consider
1 ation of the ship purchase bill which
[ the Republicans are trying to talk
to death. One of the best organized
and most powerful lobbies ever mob
ilized at the national capital is
occupying the * outside trenches, ’
and the "big guns” are operated
under direction of those who believe
it is all right for the government to
appropriate public funds for sub
sidies to shipping concerns but all
wrong for it to build or purchase
1 and operate shipping of its own.
WASHNIGTON, Jan. 28.—Presi
dent Wilson, in a special message,

OLYMPIA, Jan. 28—A bill, which
if passed, will open up the race
tracks of Washington for horse rac
ing under the direction and confrol
of a state racing commission has
been introduced in the Senate by Dr.
J. A. Ghent of Seattle.
The proposed law is said to have
the backing of business men of
Seattle and other cities of the state
where the. ponies formerly pranced,
and its promoters claim for it that
if enacted into law it will be pro
ductive of a clean, high class amuse
ment which will make all of the fairs
in the state, most of which are now
losing money, more than self-sus
taining.
The bill provides that every detail
of the racing meets shall be under
the direct control of a competent
racing commission, and that instead
of adding a dollar of tax burden to
the state, it will be productive of
revenue to the state.
The bill provides for betting on
the horses in an enclosure provided
for that purpose, under t~e Paris
mutual machine or totalizer system,
wherein the public makes its own
odds by the number of wragers placed
on any one norse or set of horses. *
It is said in support of the meas
ure that the act will encourage atate
fair associations, county fairs ana
the breeding of thor"ughbred horses
in Washington. Kentucky, Maryland
and Colorado have laws similar *o
the one proposed in this state which
has been declared valid by the
highest court of Kentucky.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Theodor*
ftoosevelt, in an address last night
on the question of the unemployed

sary in pushing railroad building U
open up the coal fields.”
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—The meas
ure proposed for Alaska by the sec
re.tary of the interior, described at
contemplating the concentration 01
management of all Alaskan re
sources under one local commission
was a subject of protest at the an
nual meeting of the American For
estry Association here.
Prof. H. H. Chapman, of the Yal*
Forest School, said that the bill
would transfer the 26,000,000 acres
of Alaskan national forests to this
commission, which would be “inimi
cal to the proper management ol
Alaskan forest lands.”
NEW YORK. Jan. 27.—Freddi*
Welsh was given a decision over

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27—Presi
dent William Sproule of the South
ern Pacific railroad says that the
Pacific Coast commerce is in the
throes of a transportation crisis era
account of the Panama Canal. It
was assumed in advance that the
steamship lines would be able to
reach successfully for bulk cargoes
and imperishable foodstuffs like
grain, onions, potatoes and unre
fined sugar, but now one of the big
gest companies announces itself on
the market for fruit and vegetables
which were hitherto shipped by rail
in refrigerator cars. This commerce
has been one or enormous value to
railroads. In three months the sea
carriers’ proportion of the California
products has increased 17 per cent,
the railroad share decreasing cor
respondingly.
