QUIETUS IS PUT ON RACE BILL

Indianapolis, Ind., March 17. One of the bills refused by the governor under the rule which provides that bills passed the last two days of Jhe ses- ; slon may be refused by the executive, i 'was the racing .commission bill which was intended to repeal the anti-betting laws of Indiana and create a racing commission which would have power , exclusive in the state over racing meets and race track conduct where the racing assoclat'on chose, to come under the benefits of the proposed law. ; , Whi'.e the bill .proposed expressly to repeal all laws In conflict .with It, and .while It exprssly statd that the racing commission would have "exclusive power" to make rules and regulations for racing In the. state, it did not rclulre that racing associations submit their meets and affairs to the rules and regulatipnsf of the commission. 'Havlrjff destroyed the anti-betting laws, the proposed law .would have 'left it optional- entirely with the betters whether., they desired to operate -tinder the commission or "gro It alone" at their own sweet bent. The ' bill "was accepted as a Porter - county product, and as It first was offered carried, a provision' permitting betting by. the Paris mutuel system.

when Mr, Manvllle returns from New Tork, he and his secretary, will enmo here and look over the locations. This in itself is more than has been promised any other city."' Telfc Why F.Igin W Dropped. The -reason this company lost interest in this, city and again revived It, was explained by Mr. Howell Saturday as follows: 'J

. "Mr. Younglove, who represented , Mr. Manvllle during his absence frem j Chicago, stated that they had come i here but admitted they had not seen the sites we had picked for them. They ) looked at on.j location not chosen by us and because it was not level dropped the proposition. They are now ready to come here again and look at the sites we have chosen. They once came here unknown to us, which shows they have ' a deep interest In Elgin." The company, Mr. Howell state ; must decide upon a location quickly. It has blue prints of its factory plans all ready and will begin building as' soon as it decides. All that the firm asks is that local real estate prices be allowed to remain at their present

status and not raised because any cer tain land may be wanted.

Well I remember how Doc Feder deserted the ship at the beginning of the cruise."

Navigable' to-118th Street.

The Calumet river is navigable for the largest freighters of the lakes, at least as far south as 118th street. This.

has been amply demonstrated by Capt.

Charles F. Miller, - manager of tho South Chicago office of the Great Lakes Towing company, who the other day brought down from 118th street 4 605-foot boat drawing 22 feet of water and having a tonnage of 12,000 tons, which had been successfully towed up

there by one of his tugs at the close of the navigation season. " This marks the "farthest south" trip for one of the modern lake freighter on the Calumet river. Big boats hate gone as far as the coke ovens slip at 112th street, but Capt. Miller took this craft nearly a mile farther south. In doing this he has made an important demonstration and one which ought t be productive of good results. He hail shown that there are still many splendid Industrial sites along the' river, all provided with the best of modern inland transportation facilities. South
