DIDN'T SERVE
THE INJUNCTION.
Sheriff Hotz Visited Venice Pool
room, but "Monte Carlo" Was
Operating When He Left.

The injunction that was supposed to put
the Venice Qll)"Monte Carlo'out Of business
was not served by Sheriff Hotz yesterday,
as far as any of the officials OF the Illinois
town know, and the historic poolroom was
operating in full blast all day and was
crowded to the DOORS
Rumors of raid had gone abroad, and
the boys wanted to see the fun. But they
were disappointed. The poolroom opened at
/ o'clock and continued until the regular
hour for closing in the afternoon.
Sheriff Joe Hotz was in Venice, but when
approached at his home in Edwardsville
last night he declined to talk in regard to
what he had done. He arrived at Venice in
the forenoon, and is said to have visited
the poolroom in the afternoon. He returned
to Edwardsvine last night.
When q reporter called at the pOolroom
at 4 D. m, the proprietors. Messrs. Celia,
Adler and TILES, were not present. The
bookmakers In charge said they had moth
ing to do with the management of the pool
room and would continue to operate until
notified to quit by their bosses, who had
not been on the East Side all day. They
knew nothing officially about the injunction

DOCTOR De COSTA
TALKS ON AMERICA.
Distinguished Catholic Convert
Addresses st. Louis Uni
versity Alumni.

Doctor B. T. DeCosta, formerly rector Of
the Church of ST. John the Evangelist, one
of the leading Episcopal churches of New
York, who was converted to the Roman
Catholic faith about two years ago. ad-
dressed an audience of 800 Catholics at
Memorial Hall last night.
Doctor DeCosta came to st. Louis at the
invitation of the Alumni Association Of ST.
Louis University. The subject Of his lecture
last night was America"
The talk was rather broad in its range
The speaker dwelt at length upon the his
tory of America, bringing out prominently
the events in which Catholics played the
principal part. He talked on the future Of
the United States. which, he held, has the
most promising outlook of any of the civ
ilized nations of the world. In America, he
said. all the religions Of the world meet on
equal footing, with the result that the peo-
pie enjoy the good points Of all sects, while
mutual supervision eliminates extremes.
Doctor DeCosta's talk was interlarded with
clever stories. which caused considerable
mirth. Many Of these had no bearing what
ever on the subject at hand, but were none
the less acceptable.
The speaker said that the term Anglo
Saxon Is erroneous. At some length he told
Of the races which Joined to make UP the
English-spealking people. and concluded the
Saxon element is so small that at the pres
ent day 1t should not be denominated in
speaking of the American and English ma
tions.
Doctor DeCosta devoted a considerable
portion Of his address to the cause of tenn
perance. He presented various statistics
showing that the money spent In drink
yearly vastly exceeds the money expended
for education.
In the audience were many Of the promi-
nent Catholics Of st. Louis. Among these
were Archbishop Kahn, Conde Pallen. Harry
Haydel. Frank Gaiennie, Doctor Louis Bois-
liniere, William B. Papin, Mullanphy Gates,
Amadee Reyburn. Julius Foy. Jr., Howard
Benoist, Jules Desloge, Father P. F. O'Reil-

FAULT MAY LIE WITH

Guardsman Said to Have Con-
fessed He Heard Rios Signals
and Paid No Attention.

San Francisco. CAL. Feb. 2s-Captain
Hodgeson Of the Fort Point Life-Saving Sta
tton notified Major Blakely superintendent
of Life-Saving Service. this morning that
Mark Ellingson, the guardsman, who was
on duty In the lookout tower the morning
the steamer Rio de Janeiro was wrecked.
had confessed to him that he heard the
Rios signals Of distress. but paid 10 atten-
tion to them. and neglected to arouse the
station. Captain Hodgeson Immediately
suspended Ellingson.
This afternoon Ellingson appeared at the
office of Major Blakely and denied en-
phatically that he had made the confession
related by Captain Hodgeson. He made his
denial in the presence Of Captain Hodge
son. who very positively reasserted that
Ellingson this morning had made a clean
breast of negligence.
Ellingson maintained that he heard only
two short signals, possibly Of perhaps ten
seconds duration. and that he had attached
no importance to them. as they were not
long blasts.
The matter will be investigated by the
proper authorities.
