CHICAGO DIVES.
GRAND JURY MAKES A SENSATION
AL REPORT.
Cappers and stool Pigeons Fleece
the Unwary, and Are Protected,
For a Consideration, BY the Heads
of the Police Department..

Chicago. July S0.-The grand jury,
today, filed report, saying:
1--WE find that gambling is being car
ried on to its fullest extent in Chicago
with doors wide open and cappers and
stool pigeons plying their vocation to
catch the unwary for the purpose of
freezing any victim who happens to fall
into their hands, and that the heads of
the police department of this city are
giving some of the places mentioned
below ample protection from arrest
and prosecution"
A list of the places at which it is al
legged that gambling is being carried on
is appended.
The jury gives as a reason for not
returning indictments against the pro-
prietors of these places that the assist
ant states attorney informed them
that it would be impossible to secure
convictions.
The assistant states attorney denies
having made this statement. He says
he merely told the jury that it was diff
ficult to get testimony which would re-
suit in convictions

BADLY SHAKEN.
Los ANGELES FEELS THE TERROR:
OF AN EARTHQUAKE.
Other Coast Cities and Towns
Thrown Into High State of Ex-
citement By the Earth Trembling.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 30.-This city
was shaken by an earthquake last even
ing at 9:11 O'clock. The direction was
from the northeast to southwest,
though most of the movement was more
of an upheaving than undulatory char
acter.
In most of the churches the services
were just being finished and were con-
cluded in some instances in a more
hasty than dignified manner. In the
New Era church a tremendous con-
gregation started at once to stampede,
panic-stricken by the violent tossing
about of the building, but the ushers
by prompt cool-headedness succeeded in
staying the flight moment, which
was sufficient to bring the people to
their senses
At the hotels there was some excite
ment among the guests, but not many
had retired.
In one of the high-storied blocks of
the city, panes of glass were broken
and things generally shaken. Tele-
phone reports show that the shock was
felt as far east on the line as Ell Monte
and to the coast. 1t is described as a
sharp shock, but not doing damage at
all PAGES. AT Santa Monica, RedOndo
and San Pedro tidal wave was looked
for by the timorous but no indication
of one was noticeable
At Action there were three distinct
shocks, the most severe ever felt in that
region, but no particular damage is re-
ported. The peculiar feature Of the af-
fair at that place, however, was that
Immediately after the vibrations ceased
a large meteor, similar to the one which
attracted SO much attention on Friday
night here, was seen to fall in the
north. It appeared like an immense
ball of blue firesend apparently moved
from the zenith to thu, north in a
rapid way.

MAJOR-GENERAL HOWARD FAyORs
AN INCREASE OF THE ARMY.
Dangers That Confront Many Towns.
md Particularly Those of the
West-ForeiSn and Criminal Pop
uIation Rapidly Increasing.

New York, July 3O-'I am in favor of
almost any plan to increase the regular
army" said Major-General Howard,
commanding the division of the Allan.
tic, in speaking of General Schofeld's
proposition to increase the army ITO 49,
1000, $4,000 or $4,000.
The generals idea is to give the pres
ident power to enlist a, large force at
his disposition seems TO me a valuable
|one and the result of mature thought.
EI should think it would meet with
general approval. I believe that a bill
should be passed by which each state
|should have an additional 1000 regulars
assigned to it. AS General Schofield
says, here in the east we have fine
militia. The efficiency of the New York
regiments is we'll known, and l want no
better drilled troops than I saw in
camp in New Jersey few days ago.
But out west the situation is entirely
different Then, too, the members of
the militia have their daily work to do,
and it is a great hardship both to them
and their employers that they should be
|called upon so frequently When it is
considered that it takes fully 1000 men
Ito guard the governments property,
one realizes how insignificant our force
really is. When the first anarchist out
break was made in Chicago, even Fort
Sheridan was practically without a gar
rison- AS the mob at that time num-
bered $4,000, the general, his staff and
the governmental buildings in Chicago
were absolutely unprotected.
There is another point which must
be taken into consideration. Our
terminal class is steadily increasing. as
well as our foreign population. Esti-
mate the number of convicts who
serve their time and are uniformly I'M
able to get work. Then assume that
this class should organize, and there
Ishould be an uprising on their part. at
such a time as during the recent law
less troubles. New York city held IFS
own, but what other city could? Please
Iquote me as favorable to an increase in

Members of the washington National
Guard Have Rumpas.
San Francisco, Cal, July 3O.-An Ex-
aminer special from Tacoma, Wash
ington, says:
Brigadier- General Curry, commander
of the national guard of Washington,
has knocked out Commissary Sergeant
Tom Box, of the First cavalry batal-
lion in a hand-to-hand encounter.
When the fight began Curry was
talking to Acknowledgement O'Brien at
the state capitol at Olympia, and was
examining a new rife. He tried to
strike Box with it because Box called
him liar. O'Brien secured the rifle,
and Box told Curry to apologize or
he would hurt him even if he was an
old man.
Curry responded with blow in
Box's face. Then he threw off his coat
and tried another round in his shirt
sleeves. Box edged away and Curry
chased him to the head of the stairs
with his walking stick. The fight was
the result of an old difficulty. Box has
been reduced to the ranks. Box is a
much larger man than the white
haired general.

Cincinnati. July 3O.-Shortly before

the siding at Cochran, Ind, twenty-six
miles from this city, wrecking the pas
Isenger and a dozen freight cars.

the trainmen state they left it closed.
There were no trainmen in the caboose
and none of the freight crew were
hurt, but the rear part of their train
was wrecked as well as the engine of
the passenger train.
John Little, of Washington, Ind, en-
gineer of the passenger train, was so
badly injured that he died an hour af-
terward.
Daniel gladden., fireman, of Washing
ton, Ind, was caught in the wreck
land lost a leg.
William Bell. of Midland, Ind, also
lost a leg.
None of the passengers or others are
reported to have suffered any injury

Chinese official version of the Engage
ment between the Chinese and Japan

FARMERS LEAVE NEBRASKA.
Sick at Heart Over the Fate of Their
Crop.


Crop.
Omaha, July 3O.-Never before in the
history of Nebraska did the future for
farmers look so discouragirg as at pres
ent. Fields of corn that promised a
bountiful yield and winter of plenty a
week ago, stand today dry and withered
as though swept by flames. For hum
dred miles. back Of the river there is a
prospect of a partial yield, if rain comes
soon. Light local rains fell in this region
last night but there is 40 likelihood of a
fail soon. In the western two-thirds of
the state there is no hope Every. grow
ing thing is withered. Farmers who had
calculated on an unusually heavy crop
of corn and had invested their all in cat
tie and hogs to feed, find the mselves with
out anything in the way of fodder and are
ser6ing their stock to market as fast as
possible to get rid of animals before they
begin to starve This is shown in the re-
ceipts of hogs at the South Omaha market
on Saturday, when 10000 head came. The
normal Saturday receipts at these yards
are about 1000 hogs. During. the week
1900 head were ceceived. The normal
weekly receipts are about 10000 head.
Many farmers are already on their way

them for the winter
