NEW YORK, July 10. -'Indictments, which if sustained on trial, may send twenty two men charged with bookmaklng to jail for one year each, were reported by the Kings county grand Jury today, under the recently enact antl-bettlng laws. The Indictments followed an Inquiry ex tending over several days and marked the culmination of the enforcement measures adopted by the Kings county authorities immediately after the passage of the law at a special session of the legislature, which has been convened by poverncvr Hughes after the bills failed of passage nt the regular session. I'nder the law, which makes the offense charged in the Indictments s misdnmeannr only, a prison sentence can be Imposed upon conviction. It Is not likely that In event of one or more convictions on the Indictments at least one case will be carried to the highest court on appeal for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the law. If this Is done, the chief contention of counsel for the respondent is expected to be based upon the severity of the penalty provided. They will tnke the ground that the punishment is so excessive as to stamp the whole law as contrary to the constitution. That news of the Indictments became known before they had been reported to the court, became apparent when It was found that every one of the twenty-two men named by the grand Jury was present In court when the Jury's report was adopted. They were accompanied by counsel and all expressed a desire to enter rleas to the Indictment at once. Pleas of not guilty were accepted and Judge Drlke paroled all the men In the custody of their counsel until later in the day. when they will be called on to furnish ball In the sum of 5C0 each. Of the twenty-two men Indicted, three are members of the Metropolitan "Turf as sociation, an organization of bookmakers. They are George Cafferetti. Orlando A. Jones and Edward J. Callahan. Another. George R. I,lchtenteln, Is a brother of Sol. IJphtensteln, long one of the most promi nent bookmakers on the American turf. All the men were operating open books at the Metropolitan tracks previous to the passage of the antl-gambllng lawa. MRS. KEHX DOES UT I.IKU IT HUi of (aaaldat Sorry He la Nominated.

"I had boed," said she, "you would give. ui ths. good news that Mr. Kern had not been nominated - "L of course, appreciate the honor con ferred upon Mr. Ksrn, but I cannot un derstand what conditions at Denver have arisen that would cause him to have ac cepted the nomination. Mr. Kern has In jured his health In past campaigns by his activity, and he means vastly more to ina than any political honors. I am sin cerely sorry, although I suppose I snouid not say so."

That the rail roads of tho United States could not lower the wages of their employes without bring ing on a strike which would paralyze the country for months, and that an Increase in freight ratea by the railroads in the west ss well as In the east, cannot bs avoided. If the railroads are to continue to meet the demand upon them. Is the view by E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka aV 8anta Fe railroad. To this. Mr. Ripley sdded that most of the railroads of this country are mere Imitations of rail roads, a senlment which has great lr.ier est, coming, as It does, from the head of one of the foremost roads In the country. "Public sentiment toward the railroads, generally apeaklng." President Ripley said, "haa not undergone sny change for the better. Here and there some are found who express the view that public feeling has gone too far, but nothing tangible In the way of improved public sentiment has ds velopad, nothing which might lead to the repeal of soms of the laws affecting the railroads adversely. The railroads In the west have been considering the question of an Increase in freight rates. I am In thorough accord in this matter with ths position taken by Mr. W. C. Brown of the New York Central that wages will havs to come down or rates bs Increased. But the wages of railroad employes could not be reduced without bringing on a strike which would paralyse the country for months. The only thing left seems to be to Increase rate. .
