FLOATING POOL
ROOM IN DANGER
INDIANA OFFICERS WILL AID
THOSE OF COOK COUNTY IN
BRINGING SHREWD GAMBLERS
INTO THE COURTS.

Chicago, September ILLINOIS and In
diana authorities have combined to drive
the men who frequent the steamer City
of Traverse into Illinois waters so that
the Cook county authorities and the
Chicago police department may suppress
the floating pool room.
Governor Hanly of Indiana today as
sured States Attorney Healy by long dis
lance telephone that the Indiana authori-
ties would exert every power to prose-
cute the patrons of the City of Traverse
and compel the boat to seek other wa
tiers than those of Indiana. This is taken
to mean that Governor Hanly will by
raids and confiscation of property compel
the men who operate the boat to flee
to the waters within the boundaries of
Cook county This being the case State s
Attorney Healy, aided by Chief Collins,
will place detectives on board the vessel
who will arrest the passengers and gam
blers as soon as the first bet is made. A
tug will be on hand to tow the boat to
Chicago. If the tug idea fails, a pilot
who will accompany the detectives will
steer the boat into the Chicago river,
where patrol wagons will be In waiting
to convey the prisoners to the station.

The SEASONS BUTTONS.

Buttons for the most part are large
and fiat though some are slightly convex
says the Plttsburg Dispatch. Large but
tons will be used almost entirely on
tailor-made suits but so ornate are they
that they will be ornamental rather than
useful and other modes of fastening Will
be employed. A new button suitable for
black costumes is covered with silk or
some soft wooden fabric with knots of a
gay color embroidered on it with button
hole silk Very beautiful buttons are
made of onyx and mnlachite and jasper
and these are surrounded with narrow
metal rims. For white or very light ma
terials, crystal buttons are very effec-
tive. These are also large and fiat with
metal rims and a delicate design in silver
or gold. The bead button Is a pretty
novelty formed of small cut beads en-
closed In an enclrcling rim, the beads
either matching the costume in color or
of cut steel. gold or silver, and the en-
broidered button with a design worked
In colored silks on light background is
always pretty and effective.

Last January.

Washington, September THE pen
sion roll reached the maximum number
in its history on January Fl last, the
number being 1,004,196. The roll passed
the million mark in September of last

lowing May had dropped below the

sis of the annual report of Pension

year ending June 80 last. At the end
of the year the number of pensioners
had declined to 99S441. The total

Ruin OIL Industry for Year.

st. Petersburg, September S.-(4:45 a.
m. )-Inter-racial warfare and incendiar-
ism have done their work in Baku and
have completed the ruin for year of the
great oil industry of that Caspian port,
though the latest dispatches Indicate that
the military have gained the upper hand
in the town itself. and that the steadily
arriving reinforcements promise to turn
the tide in the outlying districts and to
enable the troops to drive the Tartars
from their positions around the city, and
to re-occupy the suburban towns.
There is little left unburned above the
ground in the outlying oil fields of Bal
akhan, Romani, Sabunto and Bibiebat,
from which the crude oil supply for the
Baku oil industry is drawn All the ex-
tracing plants including derricks, pump
ing establishments and the oil reser-
voirs in which crude oil is stored. have
been destroyed The breaking of the
reservoirs unloosened flood of burning
oil which it was impossible to extin-
guish. A large portion of the 'black
town" quarter, in which most of the
refineries were located, was also burned.
VIII Run Into Millions.
The financial loss has not yet been es-
tablished but 1t will run into the mil
lions. 1t is stated that the loss in crude
oil which will run waste until the reser-
voirs can be rebuilt, and the refineres
again started, will amount to 100000
daily. The bloodshed also has been APP
palling, as the troops in their efforts TO
restore order had to defend the APP
proaches TO the town of Baku and were
forced to fight regular battle with well
armed natives in which artillery was en-
ployed.
The Tartars and Armenians in their
fury turned their weapons against each
other. All the well-to-do Inhabitants fed
either by sea or overland to Tits. I'm
like the recent troubles at Odessa, the dis
orders at Baku cannot be traced to any
underlying hostility to the Russian gov
eminent. 1t is not revolution but an in
and the natives, based on the same causes
and the antives, based on the same causes
as the struggles in Armenia.
Thousands Are Killed.
The Tartars after driving the Russian
and Armenian operatives from the works
in the oil fields, massacred those who
were unable to flee in time, plundered
their houses and applied the torch. The
dispatch says several thousand were kill
ed by the Tartars at Balkan. where
they were entrenched and held out against
the troops. 1t is said that the green stand
ard of the prophet has been raised, and
that the Mullahs at Baku are preaching a
holy war, as they did at Eriztan a few
months ago. The Moslems, however, have
no special programme to carry out at
this time, and 1t is expected that order
will be restored in a few days with the
arrival of sufficient troops
1t Is thought, however. that the under
lying hatred existing between Armenians
and Tartars will not be abated.

ident and General Manager Wadley was
in Roanoke recently and signed up papers
with representative citizens of Roanoke
to this effect. The route has already

grounds.
Within Few Miles of Roanoke.
The surveying party of the Atlanta
branch of this road is within few miles
OF Roanoke, headed this way. and it is
almost a certainty that their branch Will
form junction with the main line at
this point. Mr. Wadley states that the
contract has been let for the construc-
ton of the section of the road betweeG
LAGRANGE and Talladega and that dirt will
be broken between LaGrange and Ro-
he intends to have all the grading TO
Birmingham completed by the first of
April, 1906, and by that date trains will
be running from the eastern end of the

With these railroad facilities, giving us
an outlet in four directions and with
the large and resourceful territory tribu-
tary to Roanoke this town is sure to
speedily become one of the foremost
wholesale and retail points in this en-
tire section of country. More manufac-
tories are already being planned, and
there is an inquiry in the minds of the
Atlantic and Birmingham officials look
ing to the locating of car shops here.
Our people are in high hopes of their
splendid future.

JIM LATHAM HAS NOT
YET BEEN CAPTURED
Young Highwayman Is Still at Large.
Manner of His Escape Is Unknown
In Birmingham.

J. F. Latham, the young highwayman
who escaped from the prison at Sanford
early Wednesday morning, is still at
large. So far no trace of him has been
found If a elew as to the whereabouts
of Latham has been found the officers
are keeping the fact to themselves.
1t is known that the officials believe
Latham is a desperate man, and for
that reason think that he will show fight
before submitting to arrest when he is
cornered. They are therefore cautious
in their movements.
How the young criminal made his es-
cape is SO far unknown to officials here.
