Saturday night in a raid on the Manhattan

lice Court yesterday afternoon. The trial
was so long that it had to be continued from
the morning session of the court. The police
showed the court dice and other gambling
implements which they had confiscated. 1t
was noticeable that every time one of the
prisoners testified that he knew of no gam
bling there, the others smiled broadly. Bud
Banks, the proprietor and four others were
fined $40 and costs and the others were dis
charged because it was not shown that they
had been gambling.

BLAMED GENERAL SKATER.
Left In Tampa-Prevented Forward
Ing of Cooking Utensils.

Ing If Cooking Utensils.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Col. Jacobs,
who had charge Of the transportation
facilities at Santiago, testified before
the war investigating board, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that there were not
o sufficient number of wagons. He
thought there should have been at least
one wagon TO each troop or company in
addition to those at headquarters. Cen
eral Shafter's first order had been to
take only 90 wagons. When General
Miller went to Tampa he doubled the
number. but even this order did not Sc
cure sufficient number.
General McCook developed a quite
animated episode by asking if there
were any reason why the cooking uten-
sis and camp equippage of the troops
should not have been forwarded from
Dalqulri to the troops in the field.
''There was no reason" Colonel Ja-
cobs replied, Except that General Shat
ter's order forbade"
1t was most specific in providing that
only forage and rations should be for
warded. General Skaters orders to
this effect were written and the general
to see that the orders were observed.
The food had been sent to the front
cooked, but he thought the men should
have had some facilities for cooking.
The order had never been changed
during the month he remained at Dali
quiri.
DR.. Conner asked whether orders had
been given to leave all the hospital
equipments behind at Tampa, and Colo
mel Jacobs responded that it was his
impression such was the case. He had
personal knowledge that General Shat
ter had gwen such an order concerning
the ambulances.

doctor.

MRS. CAIiT'S ADIEU.
Babe Farewell to w. c. T. u.
Until Temple Is Paid For.
MISS WILLARD MEMORIAL CIRCLES
These Will BE Organized Throughout the
World to Save and Sustain the Temple
Enterprise--Dramatic Scene About Miss
Wizards Vacant Chair.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-THE closing day
OF the twenty fifth annual convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union of the United States was very
full of business, many delayed superin-
tendent's reports being heard in the in
tervals of business. The last of the
temple was heard when Mrs. Matilda
b. Carse of Illinois who, for 10 years,
has been president of the Women's
Temperance Publishing association.
made her last report from that affiliated
organization, and then, laying aside her
report, delivered brief and very touch
ing farewell to those with whom she
had so long been associated. She said
she would not return until the temple
was paid for. On Miss Gordon's mo-
ton she was asked to attend the next
convention anyway.
In a dramatic scene on the front of
the stage she clasped hands with Mrs.
Stevens and Miss Gordon beside Miss
Wizards vacant chair. The photo
grapher, who had just come in to take
picture of the general officers, caught
the group on the camera.
In announcing her retirement from
the publishing association Mrs Carse
said she would fill once more her we'll
known column on the temple in The
Union Signal, the organ of the w. O.
L. u, after which it would be trans
ferred TO the columns of The Appeal, the
publication which will be transferred
from Nebraska to Chicago, to become
the organ of the Willard Memorial cir
cles, which will work on behalf of the
temple
In the afternoon the usual resolutions
were adopted, those on Miss Wizards
death and against the army canteens
being new subjects, while the others
had simply new wording of the we'll
known sentiments.
The evening session was the farewell.
Invitations for the next convention
Angeles, on the Pacific coast; Portland,
Me-, Detroit, Niagara Falls, Cincinnati
and general invitation from the state
of Texas. The choice of place was left
to the executive committee.
Pennsylvania was awarded the old
banner for largest membership Ohio
was gwen the old banner for increase
IN numbers.
In brief interview with a reporter
Mrs. Carse said the temple trustees will
Immediately send out memorial circu-
lars all over the country, and around
the world, for the organization of Will
lard memorial circles, to save and sus-
tain the temple enterprise. The organ
OF circles will be The Appeal, to be here
after edited by Mrs. Carse, at Chicago.
temple rally was held here, and
large sum of money for the temple, and
many names for The Appeal were sub
scribed.
