Jewels valued at more than a billion francs sparkled from the throats, ears, arms and fingers of the throngs of women at the opening of the casino here. Diamond and pearl experts appraised the marvelous mass of gems at this huge figure after inspection of the gala crowd, dining at the Ambassador and afterward playing with the goddess of chance at a chemin de fer table. Gigantic diamonds, enormous ropes FILER of pearls, huge emeralds, collosal rubies and titanic sapphires glittered dazzingly from the bare shoulders of their wearers. Prominent among those ablaze with jewels were Mme. Jean Sapene, singer, the wife of the publisher, Moten, and Miss Mabel Ball, an American society girl. Warm, snnshinny weather marked the second day of the grande sem-aine- , luring hundreds to the cool surl at the beaches in the forenoon and bringing out a record crowd for the races in the afternoon. A dazzling blonde beauty, wearing bathing tights, created a furor at the beach, attracting the stronger sex and photographers and emptying the beach cafe of cocktail drinkers as she passed. Fashion experts looked in vain foi advance hints of fashions. All the sumptuous creations in evidence followed the regulation lines, with knee-lengtdresses, bare arms and low necks. All forty-twtables of the casino were Insufficient to provide places for the crowds. Tables were installed in the corridors until the supply of couplers was exhausted. The baccarat room, where men only were playing, continued to grind out millions of francs In winnings and losses, with a Greek syndicate of bankers alternately winning and losing deals. Early in the morning Martin Huf-fe- r of New York won a clear million francs. Ward and Ben Fanny Throops, husband of Ruby Dermer, motion picture star, made big winnings. The gaming rooms presented a weird spectacle, with the women in deeollette gowns, revealing various shades of sunburn from palest lobster pink to mahogany brown. flesh-colore- BETTING AT UTAH RACES WILL BE ARGUED IN COURT ROOM INMATES AT OREGON PENITENTIARY RAID ARSENAL AND SECURE ARMS Mrs. J.

Lake City Reply Charges Play Creates Unhealthy Attitude And Will Endeavor To Have Same Stopped d o pari-mutue- three principal points in the answer of Salt Lake City to the suit filed recently by the Utah State Fair associations and others to restrain Salt Lake City from enforcing Us ordinances against betting on horse races. The answer was drafted in the office of W. II. Folland, city attorney for filing w'ith the clerk of the district court. Those portions of the law providing regulations governing horse racing in the state are not challenged by the city. On the contrary, the ciy indicates that such regulation is proper, but the one section of the law which pretends to legalize betting on. such race is assailed as being unconstitutional, hence void. The validity of this section Is attacked on the following three chief points: First. That betting on horse races, even by the system, Is gambling, hence that section of the law permitting such betting is in violation of the constitutional provision prohibiting gambling in any form. Second That the racing act contains two separate and distinct subjects and only one is set forth in the title which is in violation of the constitutional provision that an act shall have but one subject and that this subject shall be fully and clearly set forth in the title. The two subjects which it is contended the racing law has is horse racing and betting. The title of the act deals with horse racing and does not cover the betting nhieh the dty contends is a form of gambling. The city will contend that that portion of the act providing for and regulating horse racing is one separate and distinct subject m itself, while the section providing for parimutuel betting is another separate and distinct subject. This is set forth as a technical and secondary point on which the constitutionality of the law Is challenged, but it is relied upon as an important factor in the ahole. On this point It is contended that the law has the effect of giving to the state fair association or other associations, as the case might be, the special and exclusive privilege of conducting pari mutuel betting on horse races, thus giving special privilege to one party, or certain parties, to do at a certain place, and under certain conditions, that which others are prohibited from doing. pari-mutu- pari-mutu- Operator Halts Train.

"The balance of trade Is against Belbegium, the Belgian franc has fallen low that of. the French. So early payments WUl have to be scaled down. There will be no actual moratorium, however" one government official taid. The American commission wai particularly aitftlous to avoid an actual moratorium for Belgium with its $490,000,000 debt, for the reason that aone was permitted Great Britain, end It did not want to establish a that would prove of such great benefit to France whtch owes more than $4,000,000,000. .The apparent happy conclusion In striksight for the negotiations Is In so with pessimism .the contrast ing evident earlier In the, week. The American commission is understood to feel that the formula laid down in dealing with the comparatively small Belgian debt will prove of thO utmost advantage In dealing with by the Infinitely larger France. Only the most unexpected opposition from Brussels or Plymouth, VL, some high officials on both sides can upset their calculations. Cityf1 gem-lade- n River Pact Conference Ends Phoenix, Ariz.
