GAMBLERS RAIDED AGAIN,
But the Sheriff OF Dads Refuses To Make u
Thorough Search.


Thorough Search.
The Beach club, at Palm Beach, was
again raided last Saturday. The com
plant was made by Cromwell Gibbons,
Esq, of Jacksonville, who had been there
for two or three days for the purpose OF
further pushing the case against the club.
Armed with a warrant from Justice Root,
the sheriff of the county, X. j. Chilling
worth, of West Palm Beach, accompanied
by Mr.. Gibbons and Mr.. Isaac Brereton,
of Jacksonville, and Detectives VIM. Nc
Hwraith and ID. III. Hunnicutt, proceeded
to the club house, where they were met
in the ante-room by J. r. Bradley, the
other managers of the club being out of
town.
Bradley engaged his visitors in CONVEX
sation, and during the talk Mr.. Gibbons
and the others heard the sound of heavy
furniture being moved from the club house
TO an outbuilding, leading them TO the
conclusion that the gambling tables We're
being moved out. Mr.. Gibbons demanded
that the sheriff search the entire prem
ises, including the Outbuildings, but the
sheriff positively refused. Mr.. Gibbons
MAS naturally highly indignant that an
officer of the law should thus openly I'M
dertake to protect alleged lawbreakers,
and made the following statement in
writing I'd correspondent of the Times
Union and Citizen:
at was decided that another raid
should be made, and hence ID. III. Hunni-
cutt made affidavit rs To the place being a
gambling house, and a warrant was Is
sued and placed in the hands of the sheriff

door 10y the younger of the Bradley
brothers, but were delayed in getting into
the gambling quarters. While waiting
on the sheriff, who delayed the proceed
ngs, the gambling outfit was removed u
an oHtbuilding. demanded of the sheriff
that he make thorough search, but he
absolutely refused 10 do 20. then begged
Of him 10 do his duty, but he met me

J. H. Bradley was arrested on the charge
of keeping and maintaining a gambling
house, and was taken before Justice Root
Saturday afternoon for preliminary hear
ing. He was bound over 10 await the
action of the grand jury. Bail Was fixed
at 81 900 which hr furnished, and was re-
leased.

batable ground, and it is believed
by some that the gubernatorial
contest will remain pretty much a
scrub race until the two congress
sional conventions are held the lat
ter part of next month.
Aside from the four leading can
didates for governor-heretofore
mentioned in THE STAR-viz: J. d.
Beggs, Fred T. Myers, w. S. Jen-
nings and d. H. Mays, we have rs
additional candidates Ex-senator
Call and Major w. H. Milton. The
former is hustling with his usual
energy, but no one seems to regard
his candidacy seriously, while Ma
jor Milton may secure the support
of a few counties in the western
part of the state, still he lacks the
strength of any of the four above
named leading candidates to go
before the convention. Judge Beggs
has the best backing which holds
him in a most commanding posi-
ton, and as South Florida feels she
is entitled to the governorship the
biggest efforts will be put forth to
nominate him even if one or more
of the other state offices have to 60
to the present incumbents.

daily paper in that city a paying
venture. Editor McNamee made
a splendid paper since last August

THE latest surprise in political
way is the startling announcement
made in the New York World that
Admiral Dewey has consented to
run for president. This statement,
following the one he made when he
first arrived home, when he said
that nothing would induce him to
be a candidate, shows pretty con-
clusively that the admirals head
is rather turned. Queer things
have happened in politics, but it
would be queer, indeed, if the adj
miral should succeed in getting the
nomination. There is very little
probability of this however. The
admiral has undoubtedly passed
the zenith of his fame.

Hon. FRANK CLARK has with
drawn from the race for congress-
man from this second district. In
his letter announcing that fact in
Wednesdays Times-UniOn and
Citizen he also states his detcrmi-
nation to quit politics forever, so
far as being IA candidate for office
himself is concerned. We do not
care to analyze the reasons Mr..
Clark gives for Withdrawing, for
We believe some of them are rather
far-fetched, but we cannot help be-
lieving that he acted wisely in
Withdrawing from the contest this
year, for the tide in favor of re-
turning Capt. K. w. Davis is too
strong for any man to stem.

IT seems to be the consensus OF
opinion among Democrats that il
would be well to hold only one pri-
mary in this county this year to
select delegates to the several con-
ventions. The call for meeting
of the Democratic executive com
mittee for the 18th inst, at this
place. appears elsewhere in THE
STAR this week, and at that meet
ing definite action will be taken.
BY holding one primary for all
purposes it is claimed that the
Democratic voters in each election
district will turn out and take ac-
tive part in the selection of dele
gates, where as heretofore where we
have had several primaries the
voters in sparSely settled districts
found it announcement to spend So
much time and often travel quite
a distance To attend the meetings.

Troubles of a Trust.

The tremendous antitrust senti-
ment that abounds in this country
has, no doubt, been created largely
by the arbitrary business methods
such aggregations of capital have
formulated for their aggressiveness
and hope of maintaining position.
Take the sugar trust as an example.
There has been, and still is, much
hostility to this trust. But, never
theless, the sugar trust seems to
have troubles of its own. With all
its power it seems it cannot have
its own way, for it cannot set prices
TO suit itself. While it used to pay
over II per cent. annually in divi-
dends, its last quarterly dividend
was only at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, and now its president
has said that the next quarterly
dividend will possibly not he as
large, and unless the ArbucGles,
the opposition refiners, consent to
the putting up of the price ofsugar
it Is doubtful if the sugar trust will
pay any dividends next quarter.
A few days ago the Arbuckles
gave notice of the reduction in the
price of refined sugar. Immediate
ly the president of the sugar trust
made statement To the public, in
which he said: A competitor this
morning reduced the price of re-
fined sugar on an advancing raw
market. This is unparalleled in
the history of the trade. This fur.
ther diminish,s the margin be-
tween the raw and the refined, III
which to us there was no profit.
The American company will not
meet the prices while the raw mar
kct remains aS il is.
This shows concluSively that the
sugar trust is no;longer setting the
price of sugar. I'm other words, it
has been compelled to take back
seat, and now it remains to be- seen
if it will ever be in ii position again
to make the enormous profits it
once did for its stockholders.
The theory is held by some that
the trust evil will correct itself
that rs soon as IA trust begins to
make profits that ARE not legiti-
mate it will have competition.
There Is some truth in such theory,
but trust may..rob the people for
several years before it will have
competition of sufficient strength
to command respect. There are
several trusts now.that are taking
profits that are beyond all reason.
simply because they control the
market for the products they man
ufacture. 1t may be that bv the
time they are a old a. the sugar
trust they will have competition
that will inrce them To accent
smaller profits,
The people, however, are not
willing to wait for such COMPETE
ton, when it is not absolutely GER
tain either that it will come. They
want IL remedy that will prevent
trusts from practically robbing
them at anytime.

The open date, October 18th, has fl

that better results can be obtained and
it will be more desirable to have no
