AIM DEATH BLOW AT RACE TRACKS BILL INTRODUCED MAKIXG BETS OR POOLS CRIMIXAL Attorney General Makes Ruling That May Cause Supply Men To Lose Millions. (Special to Star.) Springfield, 111., Jan. 27. A bill which will end racing in Illinois, ac cording to its introducer, S.

E. Erick- son of Chicago, was put before the house today. It makes it a crime to take bets or sell pools on any contest of speed or skill anywhere in the state, wheth er on race tracks or fair iriclosures. or otherwise. Smothered Before.

'The present law does not apply to the bookmakers who operate in inclosed tracks," said Mr. Erickson. "Skilled gambling men haye told me the track bookmakers can not be touched under it. Fair and racing as sociation grounds are exempt from its provisions." This bill was introduced several years ago and got through the house, but was smothered in the senate, Mr. Ericfison said he would push it to success if possible.

Strict Ruling. Attorney-General Stead's strict ruling on the convict labor law has outlawed as actionable debts millions of dollars owed by cities, towns, villages, and school districts' oft Illinois for supplies purchased of private firms since last July. This applies to the debts contract ed by Chicago and every other "political division" of the state, an official of the state board of prison industries declared today. Penalty Recited. Moreover, besides preventing the private firms from suing for the money owed them, the construction put on the law by the attorney-general makes any official auditlqg or paying such an outlawed claim guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of from $500 to $5,000 and imprisonment up to one year.

These astonishing results of the strict interpretation of this ill-judged, mischief working act have been voiced by Mr. Stead in flat terms. Ruling Disastrous to Dealers. But unless the courts can compel officials to commit a misdemeanor, as they will have to do to pay these debts, or unless" Mr. Stead recedes arbitrarily from the position he has already taken In explaining the law partly, experts say he can make no ruling less disastrous to supply deal ers.

HARRIMAX SAYS CENTRAL WILL BUILD IX SPRIXG Faltli Has Been Invoked So Often That Mattoon Xow Awaits To Be "Shown." On no less statement than that of Superintendent Harriman i of the Chicago division of the Illinois Cen tral is Mattoon to have a new station next spring. The Morning Star has pursued the ignus fatuus of a new station so long and ardently, because It is absolutely needed, and has been betrayed so often, that it approaches the subject with the veneration one has for the business end of a Missouri mule. Nevertheless Supt. Harriman has said Mattoon is to have a new sta tion in the spring and so the Morning Star, pressed by public necessity, once more perks up faith and hope. Circumstantially speaking, the new station talk was started several days ago in this wise: Supt.

Harriman was in the city and took an especial Interest in the matter of handling the mails, a task performed by the Illinois Central baggagemen, Powell and Price. The baggageroom of the Illinois Central, Is just 27 feet within the limit prescribed by the government, which compels railways to handle mails to and from the postofflce. The Big Four baggageroom is without this radius a few feet and the government furnishes a carrier. Supt. Harriman was conversing with Powell and Price with reference to the mails and stated it would become necessary to put on another to handle the work.

"We'll worry along until spring," he said, "and then the road will build a new station in Mattoon It will be built so that it fails outside the government limit and then your men will be relieved of the mails." Mr. Harriman said other things in connection with a new station which added strength to his declaration. The Morning Star, however, is a member of. the Missouri "Show Me Club" on all new depot propositions. It's almost too good to be true.

Marie, the two-year-old babj whom her father," Joseph Burrows, awaiting trial in the county Jail for the killing of Charles Templeton, has never seen, died Friday evening. "If only Joe had seen her," Is tn.

lament of the heart-broken mother, who is hardly expected to recover from the ordeal through which she lias passed. Sorrowfully she reflects that neither father or mother will follow the casket containing their first born to the cemetery and watch it as, it is consigned to the last rest, ing place. The thought almost mad' dens her. Brothers Held. Joseph and William Burrows are held to await the grand jury's action for the death of Charles Templeton who was shot and killed In front of George Houston's residence several weeks ago.

The fatal bullet was fired hy William Burrows, the coroner's jury found, but both men were held on -a charge of murder. Joseph Burrows' wife, naturally a delicate woman, was greatly affecfed hy the news of her husband's trouble If. was a sharp nervous shock. Baby Is Born. Two weeks ago little Marie came, bringing happiness to the mother.

Weak and distraught, the pressure of the tiny body by her side made her in a measure reconciled to her husband's absence would be acquitted, her greatest pleasure was in the thought of what he would say wjfen he Baw their child. Her Joy was short-lived. Little Marie did not thrive as she should and a week ago symptoms of brain fever appeared. The doctor and relatives did all they, could, but the baby sank each day. Friday Mrs.

Burrows was gently told that Marie could not live. Above the grief that' "racked her enfeebled frame over giving up the child was the thought that her husband had not seen the babe. Mrs. J6hn McClellan a sister-in-law, was so affected that she telephoned to Sheriff Baird at Charleston, Friday afternoon, and asked him to allow Burrows to come home under guard for an hour and see the baby before she died. Petition Denied.

As the chaufee is not a bailable one and there wap no order from court, the sheriff could not grant the request. He repeated the message to Burrows and did all that was possible under the touching circumstances. The baby died at 7 o'clock Friday evening. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the residence of the infant's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.

Isaac Hopper. Burial will be made in Beftiel cemetery, southeast of the city. LUNG FEVER Proves Fatal to 'Cliarles Farrar, Young Dorans Farmer.

INVENTION Device For Aerial Transit Is Perfected In Mattoon HOMECAPITALINTERESTED Experiments on Miniature Cur Are Successful To Carry Packages Between Cities Closely Connected. W.

B. Harris, of Waveland. who has been in the city for the past month perfecting a patent which has been engaging his attention for some time, has completed his work and for several days has been giving demonstrations of his invention on Broadway between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets. The invention, which he has termed the Harris Aerial Transit, Is in the nature of a minia ture trolley car which will run be tween towns on OHo wires suspended from poles instead of a track upon the ground The invention is so arranged that there are automatic switching de vices along the line, making it possible to stop the car, reverse it, cutting in and out the currents according to the condition of the track. For instance.

It will go from Mattoon to Charleston, dropping a car at Loxa on the way over and picking it up on its return trip. The object is to establish messenger service In large cities or towns not far apart and connect the two companies up with this line. This will any resident of Mattoon to have a message or package delivered in Charleston and get a return at home In less than forty-five minutes. Speedy Service. Quick service is one of the strong points of the new invention, for by its use a deed can be sent to Charleston and recorded in a few minutes after it was made, doing away with the necessity of waiting for the mails or Interurban company to "convey the deed to Charleston.

When the aerial car arrives in Charleston, a messenger would meet It and at once deliver the package to the clerk's office, thereby seeing that the work was done effectively and promptly. By this device an opportunity is given for constant communi" cation between two cities, and for local service also, and the expense would be only a trifle. There would be no long waits, for the car could be kept constantly going to and fro, and it would only be a matter of a few moments for service to be had between the two places. Plenty of Capacity. The inventor claims that on a line constructed especially for his new device he can maintain an average speed of twenty-five to thirty miles in hour.

In this way it will be possible to send out sixty cars an hour, with a carrying capacity of from 75 to 100 pounds each. This gives sufficient capacity to carry all mail and packages that go betweerl St. Paul and Minneapolis In a day's time. Another great advantage of the new patent is that it can take the place of railroads In mountains and hilly countries where it is impossible to construct roadbeds on account of the steep elevations and bottomless chasms. It may also be used on roads which, at certain seasons of the year, become impassable on account of.

the mud, making it impos sible for buggies or rural mail carriers to travel. Operated By Electricity. It is an electrical apparatus, hav ing power furnished from city elec trical plants, the current being conveyed by wires which are used as tracks, the current passing from the wires through the wheels to a motor on the inside of the car. which gives power to run the car and trailers. The reason Mr.

Harris is conduct ing his experiments in this city is that he has interested several of our business men in his patent, and if the car proves a success, of which there is little reason to doubt after the experiments made the past day or two, a company is to be organized here for the purpose of promoting the enterprise. To Locate Here. Mr. Harris is not new at the business of inventions, and previous to the one he has now perfected placed several others on the market, frorc which he ts receiving handsome royalties. He is now working on other features to improve the aerial tran sit.

This device will certainly lead to national Importance within a short time. If the meditated company is formed here, Mr. Harris will make this his permanent residence. OFFICERS ELECTED Oakland Poultry Association Ready For Year's Work. Oakland.
