declared that there was no direct evil
eence on which Deputy Police Commits
siener Deyery could be indicted in the
matter of the alliance between the police
department and the gamblers. Devery
decided yesterday to be interviewed, and
in his characteristic fashion talked. He
said among otner things that Mr.. Moss
and his men were "a gang of highbind-
ers, blackenin' and degradin' the city in
the eyes of the whole country" and
should be indicted; that as magistrate

which began with wind and rain
Wednesday. reached its severest force
about 5 O'Clock Thursday, the maximum
wind velocity being sixty-two miles an
hour. Considerable damage was done in

Public interest in the controversy with
regard to the relations between Cecil

Phoenix Ariz., Aug. 17.-Unted States
Senator Clark has shut down the United
Verde copper mine, which brings reye-
rue of 81, 100000 yearly. because he re-
fuses his miners demands for an eight
hour day. AS he pithily put it: II
would rather let the grass grow in the
streets of Jerome than grant my men
an eight-hour day" Those who know
Clark know that he will adhere to his
resolution. He has studied the eight
hour movement and he does not believe
that it can prevail in coal or copper
mines. He is watching the course of
the steel strike and upon Its outcome
will depend his action in starting up
his big mine. AS he isslosing a million
dollars a month by the lockout of his
miners, he is of course anxious that
work shall be resumed. but he is so OBJ
stinate that he would keep the mine
closed down for a year rather than sur

Detectives Are investigating

Toledo. o., Aug. 17-Unknown to the
beads Of the police department. until last
evening, Mrs. Dr. Pauline Mason, who
says she is the widow of Ex-Governor
Mason. of Michigan, has been at the po-
lice station In care of the matron for one
week She is "a Years old and is critical
ly i'll with dropsy She says she was
robbed of sl.742 in this city by another
woman a short time ago.
Mrs. Mason has lived here for forty
years, and for the last four years, until
five weeks ago, had resided on Adams
street. According to her story, she was
poisoned by woman whose husband
died at the hospital, and that while she
was sick the woman ransacked her
trunk and robbed her of her money and
other property.
1t is thought that she is slightly de-
mented. Five weeks ago Mrs. Mason
went to Detroit with friends for treat
ment, but was brought back to Toledo a
week ago Thursday and placed in the
care of the natron at the police sta
ton The matron has cared for her as
best she could, but last night was COM
PEELED to call DIR. William Walker, altho
Mrs. Mason objected to medical attend
aIice.
Detectives O'Brien and Kruz are in
vestigating the story of the robbery. The
woman whom Mrs Mason charges with
stealing her property left Toledo for De-
troit after the death of her husband. One
of Mrs. Mason's most sensational state
ments is that the woman also poisoned
her own husband with fatal effect. He
was taken to the Toledo hospital on July
and died two days later.
