pastor of Trinity Methodist Church,
and Rev. J. A. Smith, pastor of Ep-
worth Church. Both ministers have
had conference with Mayor Myers,
and were promised his support.
At the request of Mr.. williams, May
or Myers did not make public the con-
ference. Mr.. Williams asked that
nothing be said about the matter, and
his wishes were respected. After it
became public Rev. Mr.. Smith said
that he had no objection to letting the
public know what was going on. The
addresses of three alleged policy
offices were given to the Mayor, and
were turned over to the superintendent
of police with the request that a plain
clothes man, suggested by the preach
ers, be put to work on the case. After
wards the superintendent himself WIS.,
tied the places, but found nothing going
on He caused to be issued instructions
to his men to keep their eyes on the
locations.
Mayor Myers said that he is opposed
to the running of policy shops and
promised, through the police, to do all
in his power to close them up.
81 think the Mayor is sincere in his
efforts to ascertain the whereabouts of
the policy shops" said Mr.. Williams,
in speaking of the matter. HE is a
splendid business man, no one can
gainsay that. and he readily recognizes
the i'll effect which the maintenance of
these shops have on the business of the
community. I believe that he will CO.
operate with us in suppressing the
evil
My mission is not that of a detec-
tive. l desire to hold up foible and
vice, that the community may be-
come aroused to action. The preVa-
lence of the policy shop is a matter of
common repute. Run them out, and
the greatest of the gambling evils will
have been dealt a death blow. I believe
that a conscientious effort will result
in their obliteration, and I intend to
keep up the fight"

ONE MONTH IN JAIL
FOR STEALING STAMPS.

Arthur Young, a young white boy
who was some time ago indicted joint
ly with Robert C. Gross for the theft
of stamps from the Thunderbolt post
office, pleaded guilty in the United
States court yesterday and was SEN
fenced to one month in Jail. In view
of the fact that he had already served
thirty days, while awaiting his trial,
the sentence was suspended and the
lad ordered discharged.
1t is not probable that Gross will
be tried. Young has always contended
that Gross had nothing to do with
the robbery, and this is thought to be
true. Young was represented by H.

from Midway. The trip was unevent-
full so far as any exciting experience
was concerned although it was moth
ing short Of good fortune that enabled
her to get through without considerable
trouble.
Rodman's good luck however stayed
with him on this expedition and the re-
suit was that he landed every scrap of

Captain Rodman did not expect to
get down to Midway without eXperien-

was regarded as a very hazardous one

The Dole administration final coun-
ell meeting today was livelier than any
other it has ever held. After one warm
discussion over land deals during the
early part of the session, the Council
plunged into another, over the signing
of Public Works contracts by the retir-
ing superintendent, George r. Carter,
the prospective governor, made vigor-
otis objections to the old administration
going ahead with such matters, declar-
ing that it was unfair and unjust to
the new administration.
During the discussion of the land
deals Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion moved that such matters be re-
ferred to a committee consisting of
Carter and Z. S. Boyd. He said that
the matters were suCn as he and some
other members were not familiars with,
and that it was a waste of time to
70 bring them up for discussion at pres
ent. DR.. c. B. Cooper seconded the
motion.
superintendent Cooper objected that
he was being shut off by such a mo-
ton. Carter Supported the notion
saying that the heads of departments
who were not familiar with the details
of the propositions it was proposed to
discuss wanted to attend to their own
work. Cooper then declared that he
had several matters to report which
had been ratified by a previous council
meeting and the motion was amended
to allow him to read them. His report
brought a more vigorous objection then
ever from Carter.
Cooper reported having signed a con-

The anti-mosquito campaign took
new turn today Hitherto one of the
great difficulties in the way has been
to get people to use the crude petro-
leum, and this because of the difficulty
and cost of obtaining it. 1t is easy
enough for Mr.. Larnach, who is the
special agent in charge of this work to
demonstrate to people that their cess
pools and a great mony other places
were breeding mosquitoes, and that the
application of crude oil once a week
would prevent the mosquitoes from de-
veloping, yet 1t was not always easy
to get them to apply the remedy. The
Mosquito Committee has given away a
good deal of oil for this purpose to peo-
pie who were not well able to buy it
for themselves, and has induced a good
many others to buy and use IL. But it
could not go extensively into the busi-
ness of giving il away, for 1t did not
have the funds, nor is it thought best.
That which has been given away so far
has been principally OIL contributed to
