INVENTS DEVICE THAT
EVADES GAMBLING LAW
Target Drop Bucket Machine That
Yields Prizes for Skill.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. "a
George L. Tonnoffski, deputy clerk of
the United States court at Raleigh, n.
c., expects in a few days to procure
patent on a machine which promises
to be money maker in its way, be-
sides being a great credit to the in
genuity and inventive powers of Mr..
Tonnoffski
1t is target drop bucket machine"
which displaces the old line slot ma
chine completely and does not come
within the statute which taxed those
machines out of business in this state.
The machine consists of huge rifle
target. Besides the "bull's-eye," there
are numerous holes about over the tar
get into which If the bullet should go
it would knock out a pin, freeing a
spring which would allow cup to
which it is attached to dump its con-
tents for the successful marksman.
There are quite a number of those
cups each connected with different
hole in the target, and they have coins
of different denominations ranging
from 1 cent to 81, and if desired even
larger amounts.
One who wishes to play the machine
simply pays or 10 cents, as the case
may be, for a shot. Then he stands
the chance of getting, say % cents,
for hitting the bulrseye or hitting
one or another of the holes in the tar
get leading to the buckets containing
coin, or, again, he may get no prize
at all, getting for his investment only
the pleasure of shooting.
Mr.. Tonnoffsh has had an excellent
model for his machine made and will
send it at once to Washington for the
purpose of procuring patent. He ex-
poets to have number Of these ma
chimes made at once and will probably

EXPERIENCE PERILous VOYAGE.
In a Balloon, Which Travelled at Rate
of 100 Miles an Hour

A sample Of what travellers by the air
route may expect was furnished when
two German aeronauts assembled from
Berlin In a balloon last Thursday, and
after perilous ride landed near Calais
just as they were about to be swept to
sea. on Friday morning
In some eighteen hours the balloon was
driven a net distance of 500 miles, but
probably actually Travelled more than
twice that distance. buffeted back and
forth by conflicting currents. In the end
1t struck the great gale raging along the
channel and was driven at speed as
high at times as 120 miles an hour.
There is something uncanny In travel

literally with the speed of the wind, the

The trouble with q balloonist in n

easy if he has ballast to keep up. The
danger comes when he must stop, either
because his ballast is gone and the gas
in the balloon escaping, or because he Is
being borne to sea.
The two German aeronauts were aided
in getting to earth by three peasants. 1t

Distressing Results of the Shut Down of

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept. "a
The steamer Minnie NJ. arrived from the
Michipicoten mining region today with IT'S
men from the Helen iron mine which is
owned by the Consolidated Lake Superior
company. This is the largest number of
men to arrive in the Canadian 500 from
the company's mines. Most of the men
have been employed from six months to
three years, and all have money The
men have six weeks wages coming to
them Al Grace mine, inland from Mich
ipicoten harbor, the company has about
100 employees who are under quarantine
because of smallpox. They will be cared
for. Nobody seems to know when the
woodsmen will be brought in. 1t is
thought they will be kept working until
Monday. They have about six weeks pay
due them. All can secure transportation
or immediate employment at other camps
The situation in the Canadian 500
which is suffering most from the shutdown

closing of the works. Added to the gen

THIS sWINDLER HAD A
TRULY METEORIc CAREER
Business Houses In Every Part of the
United States Nictinnizad.


CHICAGO. Sept. 24.-More than
$4,000 stolen, business houses in ev-
cry part of the United States victimiz-
ed, bank created, q waiter risen
from poverty to affiuence, and an ex-
convict again placed behind the bars
these are features in the meteoric ca
reer Of at least one of two men now
under arrest In Chicago. Postoffice in
spectors made the captures.
julius M. Nilsson, known also by a
dozen other, names, and Arthur J..
Herbst, said to have many aliases, are
the prisoners. Nilsson has confessed,
but Herbst will not admit that he had
any part in the big swindle
Postoffice Inspector A. e. German has
complaints against the two men from
nearly 200 individuals and corpora
unos who have lost amounts ranging
from $25 to $4,000, All these have
been victimized since June 20. when
Nilsson opened an office in Chicago.
In previous operations under different
names, the men are alleged to have Sc
cured at least $4,000 in the last
eleven months.
This was the mode of procedure,
according to the Inspectors Nilsson
and Herbst would go to a city and
open an Office, engaging ostensibly in
the retailing of metal ware, novelties
machinery or anything which they
could secure on credit. They would
operate under the name of some COM
pany well known in the business world
and in ordering goods to the value of
thousands of dollars would give COM
mercial agency references.
After the articles had been received.
the bogus company would transfer the
consignments to a warehouse and then
ship them to New York, where they
were disposed of through fence"
which has baffled the inspectors for
months. When suspicion was aroused
the men would flee to another city.
One OF the boldest moves of the
two men is said to have been to es-
tablish a bank to give financial
strength to their enterprises" One
such concern, called THE Cook County
Bank of Trade and Commerce." is al
legged to have existed on paper only.
Nilsson worked for several years as a
waiter and in 1900 owned a restau-
rant in Chicago. He sold his place
and toured Europe. Then he returned
to Boston and was sentenced there to
one year in prison for shoplifting.

pany ct al, appellants, VS.. the Board of
Trade of Chicago, appellee, reserving the
decision of the federal court of Missouri
and remanding the case to that court
with instructions to dismiss the bill at

of Trade secured an injunction in the
lower court against the Christie company,
restraining it from obtaining from the
telegraph companies any of the quotations
furnished by the Board of Trade. alleg-
ing that the quotations We're private

veloped that So per cent of the transac-
lions of the board was gambling in mar
gins, that by admission of the board it
was shown that it maintained bucket
shops
On this evidence the appellate court
holds that the Board of Trade did not
come into court with clean hands or for
lawful purpose and clearly it was not the
duty of court of equity to grant any
relief prayed by 1t and that the transac-
tions We're in violation of the statute of
