TROUBLE FOR Mr.. CAMPBELL
United states Authorities Prefer
Charge of Fraudulent
Use of Mails.

Stanley V. Campbell, who was aTested by
the police some days ago, for alleged fraud
ulent practices in connection with the be-
stowal of agencies for a fictitious tailoring
establishment on youths who were ready to
make a small deposit in order to secure
job, has been turned over to the federal au-
thorities, by whom he will be prosecuted
for using the mails to defraud.
Campbell represented himself as a general
agent for the concern he pretended TO rep
resent, and advertised extensively for agents
to work under him in Nebraska and Iowa
territory. All applicants were required to
deposit s. on the plea that 1t was required
to secure a guarantee bond. and so far
the police and postal officials have been able
to discover no jobs were forthcoming. De.
teCtive Dempsey rounded up seven young
men who admitted themselves as victims
and their experiences were related TO AS
sistant United States Attorney Rush. Some
time ago Assistant Postmaster Woodward
reported Campbell to the chief inspector as
something worth Investigating but a COM
plant to the police by one of the victims
fcrestalled the action of the Postofice de-
partment.
Campbell was arraigned before Commits
sioner Anderson yesterday afternoon and
the hearing promises to be extended.
Nothing further was accomplished during
the afternoon than to get in the testimony
of the police officers who arrested the de-
fendant and who confiscated lot of corre-
spondence with which the government eX-
poets TO strengthen its case.

W0MAN'S POSITION IN INDIA
Light Thrown on the Subject by Il
Native of the Far Eastern
Country.

An interesting sketch of woman's position
large audience which listened to Mr.. Ma
garkar at Unity church last night.
Commencing with the most glorious epoch
of Hindu history, when women were the
ornaments of society and enjoyed privileges
of equality with men, the lecturer reviewed
the Mohammedan conquest and the direful
ravages of the sword of Islam in the elev-
enth century, when in order to protect their
women from the assaults of the desDoiler
a system of early marriages was introduced,
bringing in its train a gradual degeneracy
of females and a widespread revolution of
society.
with the fall of woman came the lapse
of man and, in the opinion of the speaker
the first step toward the rehabilitation OF
India will be the emancipation of woman
for, though he announced his unbelief in
the biblical fall of Adam through Eve, he
is emphatic in his opinion that woman is
mans only redeemer
His depletion of the pitiable condition of
infant widows in India was pathetic in the
extreme.
In referring to the crying need of some
system Of female education Mr.. Nagarkar
while deprecating the proselyting efforts of
English and American missionaries in mat
ters of religion, took occasion to thankfully
acknowledge their work in the mental de-
yelopment of women.
The Rise and Progress of the Brahmo
Somay'' is the subject of Mr.. Nagarkar's S
lecture Thursday evening.

Local papers are reviving the scheme of
changing the name of the city Several
names have been suggested but iIona have
been decided upon and it is possible that
the matter may go over again for an in
definite period. The packers will protest
vigorously against a change of name, as it
would cost them thousands of dollars 10
change the date line on stationery now on
hand and also on brands now in use In
this connection one packer told Mayor Ensor
that it would cost his house at least $50 600
If the name were changed. With five pack
ing houses here and one stock yard it is
inferred that change OF name would entail
an expense of at least $150,O0C. For this
reason the proposition will be combated

they had played pool and had been given
chips when the games were paid for. Some
times they shook dice with Holmes to see
whether or not he took chip or gave them
cigaH, as the check was not large enough

Detective Savage said he had been in
the resort a number OF times and seen per-
sons playing poker with pasteboard chips
In front OF them. He did not see man
leave the place and was not present when
a game began or broke up, so he could
not tell what the checks represented. He
had seen Holmes shaking dice for checks
