DENOUNCED
h Society For
Gambling
DR.. GLADDEN. Discussed Social
Evils at Yale.

New Haven, CT, March 11.-Rev. DIR.
Washington GLADDEN. Of Columbus, o.,
at Yale, denounced L-gh society for
its gambling and laxity of morals, and
declared that the people who took
away the saloon from the workingman
were bound to give him a better place.
DR.. GLADDEN. said: The impression
made on the mind of a drunkard, or
a gambler by reformers is that the
community is responsible for his con-
dition, and that he is victim rather
than a sinner. | cannot help feeling
that the effect of the temperance prop
aganda, especially for 40 years, has
been to undermine character. The
unwillingness of young people to mar
ry Is the prime cause of the increase
of the social evil. The artificial and
luxurious life of our modern society are
part of the trouble Polite society Is
suffering from an invasion of gamb'
ling. A girl from Columbus found her
self in New York city and was urged
so hard to gamble at a card party that
she lost large sum of money. The es'
sential vulgarity and brutality of so
ciety in which that can happen need
not be pointed gut.

TROUBLE
Promised For B.,
A. & E.
Promoter French Filed
Mortgages
And Claims to Have Money to
Garry Out Plans.

Mr.. c. w. French, president and pro-
moter of the Richland & Mahoning
Railway Co., now regards himsel in u
position to drive to shelter all persons
who ever doubted the feasibility of his
schemes.
On Tuesday there were filed in the
Recorders office mortgages showing
that the Columbus Savings & Trust
Co. has become trustee under the
mortgages for the bonds of three OF
Mr.. French's lines, aggregating 1,4O0,-
600, and it has been announced that
the company has obtained plenty of
money anu will begin work in short
time to build the lines which have
been under survey for about year.
The lines indicated in the mortgages
are the Akron Belt line, to connect
with the Northern Ohio and Richland
& Mahoning and continue to Barber
ton; the line extending from Akron TO
the eastern boundary line of Summit
county to connect with the II. 81 NJ.
and line from the Northern Ohio to
Quarry st.
Moreover. the French people prom
ise trouble for the Barberton, Akron
& Eastern Co., claiming that the lat
| ter pOunced upon the plans and sur
veys of the Akron Belt Line Co., anc
must give them up. This phase of the
situation was mentioned some time
ago, but it was believed to have dice
out. Now, the French people say they
will bring action to oust the b., A. y
Il. from certain sections of the survey
it now enjoys.

MADE MILLIONS ON DEAL.
Gov. Francis and John Scullin Cleared
One Million Each on Colorado
Railroad Sale.

According to the testimony of John
Scullin, president of the Virgins
Ferry Company, given in the case Of
Mrs. Carrie Wann, Of Chicago, against
the Mercantile Trust Company Of st.
Louis, he and ex-Gov. d. r. Francis
each received approximately $780,
900 in cash and SS75,000 worth Of Rock
Island stock, for their holding in the
st. Louis, Kansas City s. Colorado
railroad, which they sold short time
ago to the Rock Islgnd.
Although the exact price paid by
Messrs. Scullin and Francis for the
Colorado road has never been made
pnblio. it is known that thaV cleared
upmore than million dollars on each
deal. The records in the clerks
Office of the United States Circuit
Court show that while the road was In
the hands of Receiver Adiel Sherwood
the Santa Fe stepped in and assumed
its liabilities, whereupon the case was
dismissed and the receiver discharged,
The records show that the case was
dismissed June 20, 1901, but 1t is said
the Scullin-Francis interests pur-
chased it before that time. According
to a director of the Santa Fe, who was
in st. Louis recently, the road was
sold "for little more than a song,'
considering its strategic Importance
to any railroad desiring to enter the
city.
