Austin, June 10.—The Stale Sen-
ate, acting swi/Uy in the Legisla-
ture's war to curb gambling in Tex-
as, struck twice today, unanimously
approving bills to outlaw bookmak-
ing on ail forms of raring and sports
as well as betting on dog races.
After a bitter contest in the Sob- &
ate, the Legislature last week re-
pealed the law which four years
ago legalised the certificate'system
of betting on horse raring, having
been called into special session for
that primary purpose.
Texas laws long have prohibited
bookmaking but prosecutors have
complained they contained so many
loopholes enforcement was difficult
or impossible. There have been
rhaiges, too, that in some local of-
ficers made little or no efforts
at enforcement.
Vote* 26 to O.
The bookmaking bill passed by
the Senate, 26 to 0, made it unlawful
•to take or place for another a bet
on a horse, dog, automobile, motor-
cycle or other race, or on any ath-
letic contest or sport* event. Penal-
ty was fixed at from one to five
years imprisonment, in jail or the
penitentiary, and from 3100 to II,-
000 fine.
It was made a felony for the own-
er or agent of property knowingly
to permit it* use in connection with
bookmaking, and it was further pro-
vided that properties so used could
be closed for a year a.« public nui-
sances under injunctive proceed-
ings.
Telephone, telegiaph and radio
companies were forbidden to serve
bookmaking establishments and were
absolved from damage suits if in
good faith, believing their equip-
ment was being used for bookmak-
ing purposes, they discontinued ser-
vice.
Considered Evidence.
Moreover, the bill provided that

Austin.—The state health depart-
ment has asked county and city
health officers to enforce strictly a
state law which requires that the
stoppers of beverage bottles must
be kept above the water line in the
ice boxes, tubs or refrigerator*.
"The practice of submerging bot-
tled foods and drinks in water in ice
boxes is a more or less general one
over the state,’’ says Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, state health officer.
“In many instances milk and oth-
er products put up in bottles with
paper stoppers a* well as other bot-
tled goods, have been found entirely
submerged in water which had not
been changed for hour* or possibly
days, and into which the hands of
attendants and customer* had been
plunged many times, thus contamin-
ating the water.
“Sometimes it has been proved
that an actual exchange of liquid
had taken place between the sur
rounding water and the liquid in the
paper-capped bottles.”
TEACHER PENSION
Moscow.-—Seven of the highest
officers of the 'Soviet Army will go
on trial today for their lives,' a gov-
ernment announcement issued at 3
a m. Thursday said. They are charg-
ed with treason.
A communique said all the accus-
ed had pleaded "fully guilty." This
was considered to make it certain
they faced early execution.
Some held important commands
until Wednesday, when they were
displaced in sweeping charges in ..the
Red Army's highest posts.
They were accused of treason to
the Fatherland, the people and the
Army, violations of their oath of al-
legiance to the army and traitorous
relation* with an unnamed foreign
government.
It is generally believed this last
referred to Germany or Japan.
They will go on trial behind closed
door*. Conviction will mean they
will be sent almost immediately be-
fore a firing squad without the right
of appeal.
