BOOkMAKERS INDICTED
The Chicago Determination to Break
 up Betting on the Races.

Chicago, July IA grand jury today voted indictments against forty-two persons alleged to have been taking wagers at Hawthorne race track. As result of this action Sheriff Barrett. who has refused to proceed against bookmakers unless warrants were is- sued for their arrest, will be compelled to serve the capiases and to take the accused persons into custody or com~ pei them to furnish bonds for their ap- pearance in the criminal court.
 Bills voted against the bookmakers are under the section in the law which has hitherto been ignored in the pros- ecution of race track gambling in Chi cago. In the past indictments have al- ways alleged that the accused persons were inmates of gambling houses. Con- victions under that section have been impossible, SO today's indictments charge the bookmakers with keeping gambling apparatus.

THE NEW SUPERVISOR
The Appointment Yesterday of John
 P. Orme.

John P. Orme was yesterday elected member of the board of supervisors to fill the vacancy made by the resigna- ton of Supervisor Jake Miller. AS soon as the remaining members of the board met the resignation of MT. Mil fer was taken up and read. At the same time a numerously signed pe- tition for the appointment of Mir. OTme was presented. Probate Judge Phil lips was sent for. He declined at first to attend the meeting on the ground that his presence was not necessary. District Attorney Baker believed that it would be better to have the full ap- pointing board present and the probate judge acceded.
 The matter of the resignation was passed upon by the two supervisors and the question of the election of MT. Orme was then put. MT. Orme received the votes of Messrs. Norris and Hun saker, Probate Judge Phillips not vot- tne. The probate judge had nothing against MT. Orme. who was the only candidate. But the propriety of a re- publican office holder voting fer q democrat was an ethical question which had not been solved. The two votes cast for MT. Ormc. however. were sufficient and when a motion was made to make his election unanimous it received the support of Judge Phil Tips.
 This business having been disposed of. the board of supervisors resolved itself into a board of equalization and took up the assessment roll. MT. Orme did not take part in the proceedings. but later in the day he filed his bond and will sit with the board this morn ing.
 Two letters of the assessment roll were disposed of, but not finally. No important changes il valuations were made and perhaps none will be until theboard has gone through the entire roll.

LEADING ROLE
Proposed for United States in the Far
Fast

Berlin William Grunow, editor of
Die Grenzeboten of Leipsic, in analyz-
ing the play of international interests
in the Far East, says the late field
marshal, Won Waldersee, after his re-
turn from China, often talked with
his close friends on the certainty that
the United States would have a lead
ing role there. His solicititude for
the future interests of Germany was
also connected with the United States
position in Far Eastern affairs.
Herr Grunow does not say where
Won Waldersee' utterances and the
editors begin, but the article contin-
ues:
"The United States attitude to-
wards Japan is Understandable be-
cause of her commercial relations with
Japan and Manchuria, and by reason
OF her aspiration to the hegemony of
the Pacific. If the United States
should maintain her claims to pre-
dominance in the Pacific she must
reckon with Japan either as friend
or an enemy. For the moment the
United States interests require friend
ly relations with Japan, taking into
consideration the limited strength Of
the American navy and the existence
of the Brithish-Japanese alliance. For
time this alliance will check Ameri-
can hegemony on the Asiatic side of
the Pacific.
The editor regards an American
British-Japanese alliance as possi-

THE PRESIDENT
ON NEUTRALITY
In AN ORDER ISSUED TO GOV.
ERNMENT OFFICIALS.
MUST OFFEND NO NATION
Is the Gist of His Appeal. Deplores
Breaking Out of Hostilities and
Hopes That the War Will be Speed
lily Terminated.

Washington President Roosevelt.
after conference with Secretary of
State Hay, has issued the following
executive order respecting the obser-
vance of the proclamation recently
promulgated declaring the neutrality
Of the United States between Russia
and Japan, the two eombatant nations
in the far Eastern war now in pro-
gress:
All officials of the government, civ
il, military and naval, are hereby di-
rected not only to observe the Presi-
dent s proclamation of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which can legitimate
Iy cause irritation to either OF the
eombatants. The government of the
United States represents the people
Of the United States not only with the
sincerity with which it is endeavor-
ing to keep the scales of neutrality
exact and even, but with the sincerity
with which it deplores the breaking
out Of the present war and hopes II
will end at the earliest possible mo-
ment and with the smallest loss to
those engaged. Such war inevitably
increases and infames the suscepti
bilities of the combatants to anything
in the nature of an injury or slight
by outsiders. Too often combatants
make conflicting claims as to the du-
ties and obligations of neutrals, so
that even when discharging these du-
ties and obligations with scrupulous
care, it is difficult to avoid giving of
fense to one or the other party. To
such unavoidable causes of offense,
due to the performance of national
duty, there must not be added any
dvoidable causes. 1t is always unfor-
tunate to bring old world antipathies
and jealousies into our life, or by
speech or conduct to excite anger and
resentment toward our nation In for
eign lands that are friendly; but in a
government employe, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mis-
chief of such action is greatly In
creased. A strong and self confident
nation should be peculiarly careful
net only of the rights, but of the sus-
capabilities of its neighbors; and
nowadays all of the nations of the
world are neighbors one to another
Courtesy, moderation and self-re-
straint should mark international nc
less than private intercourse.
All of the officials of the govern
ment, civil, military and naval, are
expected to carry themselves both In
act and deed so as to give no just
cause for offense to the people of any
friendly power-and with all man.
kind we are now in friendship.
