Aroused Great Interest and Was Killed by Narrow Margin Baton Rouge La June 9 Attended by such excitement as has not been witnessed here in years over a measure in the Legislature the Louisiana House of Representatives late today defeated the bill that would have made horse racing in Louisiana possible The House vote was 55 to 50 on a motion to indefinitely postpone action on the measure This action was equivalent to killing the bill outright Only five Representatives were absent At each session of the Legislature since 1908 when horse race gambling was abolished in Louisiana there has been talk of introducing a Mil to regulate and restore the sport Not until this session was such a bill put forward however The Reinhardt bill was introduced four weeks ago At the time it was not taken seriously because at the time those who favored it did not think it had a chance to pass Its friends began to grow in numbers however until the whole Stale was aroused The brief campaign for and against the bill was murked by three mass-meetings in New Orleans two for and one against it organizations took action and ministers preached about it Two hundred men from New Orleans working for the hill arrived here yesterday Those against the bill also had workers here Those against the bill made no attempt to marshal their forces to win two preliminary votes but waited until today when a motion was made to advance it to third reading and passage This was amended to indefinitely postpone and the amendment carried The Reinhardt bill provided for the pari-mutuel system of betting and a State commission to govern racing COT LANDRUM OX TRIAL Criminal Charge Against Member of Staff (Special to The Observer) Spartanburg June Col Landrum of Governor Rlease's staff and Fred Robertson were

by Huerta Should Succeed to the Presidency Niagara Falls Ont June 9 The United States is unwilling to extend recognition to a new provisional president if named according to the method prescribed by the Mexicon delegates which is that General Huerta would appoint as Mimster of Foreign Affairs the man who Is agreed on here to head the new Government The Washington Administration contends that if General Huerta is permitted to name the Foreign Minister who by constitutional succession would be evated to the presidency even though the selection be made here such an act would be construed as recognition of the Huerta Government On this issue the mediating plenipotentiaries came to a flat disagreement late today For more than two hours the mediators and American delegates argued in vain and it was apparent when he conferences ended that what hitherto had been considered a matter of detail suddenly had developed a snag The Mexican delegates had not discussed the point at any length with the mediators when the latter took it up with the Americans Although the thiee South American diplomats argued strongly from the Mexican viewpoint there was good reason to beliee onight that the Mexican delegates would not insist on this arrangement if they found the United States absolutely determined against it One Mexican delegate Insisted that the Mexicans regarded the form if transition as a technicality which could be dispensed with if the American Government found it impossible to agree to the method sugges'ed by the Mexican delegates The mediators contended with vehemence that the forms of the Mexican Constitution should be preserved The American delegates are understood to have pointed out that the Constitutionalists certainly would not agree to a plan of transition which legalized Huerta's status Also the American Government it was declared could not extend what would be tantamount to recognition if Huerta actually appointed his own successor There is a possibility that a compromise will be agreed on Pedro Lascurain Minister of Foreign Affairs under Madero could be reappointed to the Cabinet and succeed to the provisional presidency and then appoint as Foreign Minister the man agreed on by all parties for the new provisional executive Lascurain is persona non grata with the Constitutionalists but it is not believed there would be objection from them to the tenure of office necessary1 to have transition effected constitutionally Predictions that an agreement soon would lie reached were abandoned today in quarters hitherto optimistic for a quick conclusion The counter proposals of the American Government to the Mexican plan have not yet been taken up with Mexican delegates: though they received them from the mediators earlier in the day BETTER WEATIIEH CONDITIONS Improvement In the South the Past Weak Washington June 9 Better weather conditions for crop growth prevailed in the South during the week which ended yesterday according to
