EUCHRE sTIRs TOWN.
Society Gambling Alleged to Be Ruin
ina Homes at Beaver, Pa.-Profes-
sional Men Want Society Women

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 14.-Gambling
is alleged to be running homes OF
scores of we'll to- do citizens of Beaver
Falls, Pa. Euchre parties are said to
be the subject Of discourse to the
exclusion of every other subject, and
a number of merchants and profess
sional men have revolted.
The men first went to Justice Will
liam Piper and asked that warrants ba
issued for the arrest Of the leading
society women of the town. some of
them being Spartans enough to In
clude the names of their wives.
They said the prize winnings were
dragged into the church to the extent
that one-half the congregation was at
loggerheads with the other, and all
kinds of charges were being made of
cheating at cards to gain a miserable
prize. They also said they were being
impoverish by their wives in having
to put up for these prizes.
They declare they get no more
cooked dinners, the children We're ne
elected, and the town, If rooted, would
be one big gambling house.
Justice Piper dissuaded them from
making informations. They turned to
Representative W. H. Bricker and re-
quested that he present an act to pro-
hibit card playing for prizes. He told
them there was such law on tho
statutes, but the penalties were too
severe. and he favored passing an act
with nominal fine and an imprison-
ment of twenty-four hours or so
against this form of gambling, which,
if enforced, would break 1t up.

KITCHENER MORE HOPEFUL.
His Latest Report Contains no News
About Dewet.

London, Jam 14.-Perhaps the most
important point In Kitchener's weekly
report Is the omission of all mention Of
Dewet, from which it is deduced the
British commander in-c chief is more
than usually hopeful of effective results
from his present effort to surround De-
wet. Since the disaster at Beafontein
strong British columns have been per-
sistently dogging Dewets force. while
armored trains have prevented him
from crossing the railroad line and have
forced him northward. Kitchener is
supplying Dewet's pursuers with relays
and remounts. Kitchener reports that
since Jan. 6 twenty Beers have been
Killed, nine wounded, twenty-three cap
tured and ninety-five have surrendered.
Kitchener also reports the narrow es-
cape of General Botha from capture by
Bruce Hamilton on the 18th. Hearing
of concentration of the Beers at KNAPP
dar, Bruce Hamilton went to the spot
but only to find the Beers had been CIV
en- the alarm, 400 of them trekking,
three miles distant. with Botha. in a
cape cart, leading. Hamilton chased
the Beers seven miles until his horses
gave out, capturing thirty-two men and
quantities of ammunition and stock.

Market furry.

Chicago, Jan. a. Notice was posted
at the opening of the board of trade to-
day calling for the closing Of all open
deals with George H Phillips, the for
mer corn king" A heavy call for ex-
ira margins is said have been the
cause of the posting of the notice. The.
trouble is said to be due to 31z cent
break in rye yesterday. Phillips Is cred-
tied with holding line of a million and
half bushels. of May rye. Phillips is
said to have on his books also from A.
00G, 900 to 100000 bzusheds of May
wheat and about 100000 bushels of'
May corn. The effect of the notice post-
ed was instantaneous when the list
opened off sharply. Wheat opened a
cent to 1 Y lower; corn, II to cent and
oats nearly cent. Phillips could not be
seen following the announcement of the
closing of his deals, but members Of his
staff stated he was still in good finan-
cial condition and that he traded but
little on his own account, the grain for
the most part belonging to customers
Phillips opened negotiations with tha
elevator men before the opening Of the
rye outside of the pit, but the negotia-
tions fell nru, and May rye, which
closed vest erday at 66A.. opened with
sales from 51@60. The whole Phillips
line was dumped on the market. Brok-
ers acting for Armour & Co. bought
nearly ali of it and tine market In conse-
quence rallied sharply to 65.
Later Jacob Ringer, attorney for Phil
lips. gave out a statement saying his
client had been practically wiped Off the
financial slate. Hes broke" said Ring
ec. 'aThe men whom he worsted in for
mer de;.ls went after him and got
him" In statement issued by Phillips
he said: The amount involved In my
trouble of today Is about 100000. MY
customers had their trades we'll mar
gined and if the trades today bring
fair price can meet all my obligations.
/ was lon1 about 100000 rye, 100000
wheat, 500 600 corn and oats. Saturday
a member Of the board interested in
breaking the rye market sent notices
calling for an extra margin Of 10 per
cent. This naturally caused selling or
ders Monday, and a representative or
the firm mentioned, finding the market
bare, forced the market down cents.
This caused CONSERVATION among hold

CRANE TO SUCCEED LONG.
Revival Of Rumor That He Will Take
the Navy Portfolio.


Washington, D. c.. Jan. 14-It is
now understood here thai Winthrop
Murray Crane, governor o. Massachu
sets, is slated to succee John D..
Long as secretary of the wy.
So far as can be learned the present
program is that Governor Crane shall
remain where he is until after the ad-
tournment of the Massachusetts, leg
islature. Then he will resign as gov
ernor Of the state and accept the po-
sition Of secretary of the navy. to
succeed Mr. Long. 1t is understood
that Governor Crane would have ac-
cepted the treasury portfolio had Ia
not been for the fact that this would
have necessitated disposing of all his
interests in the paper company of
which he is president and which has
the contract for furnishing the gov
ernment with distinctive paper for it's
notes and bonds.
Governor Crane felt that to give up
all of his vast business interests would
be too great a sacrifice. He will be
enabled to hold on to them, however
If he goes into the cabinet as secretary
of the navy. 1t is perhaps a coin
cidence that he. too. has been FIRE
QueHtiy mentioned as a possible pres
idential candidate, and thus Mr.
Roosevelt removes from his path two
possible rivals in 1904 because, of
course, a cabinet officer could not
properly oppose his chief in nation
al convention.
Aside from that, however, Governor
Crane, like Governor Shaw. has dem
onstrated his executive ability and
will undoubtedly make strong mem
ber of the cabinet.
Governor Crane was a caller at the
white house today. This was his first
visit TO Washington since he declined
the fiattering offer made to him by the
president
Governor Crane was at considerable
pains to explain that his visit here was
on private business exclusively. It
