ETHEL BARRYMORE TO WE'D.
Actress Engagement Announced
Captain Graham.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Duchess or
Sutherland was one of the first to con-
graduate Ethel Barrymore upon her
engagement to Captain Graham, who
is a son of the clerk to parliament.
Captain Graham, although not now in
the army, is veteran soldier, having
served for long time in the Cold
stream guards. He tired of the army
and resigned and has recently de-
voted himself to writing. The captain
is humorist and writes clever bur-
iesque skits. He is only 80 and has
ambitions that may result in his cleo
ton to parliament. His father has a
pleasant residence and there Miss Ethel
Barrymore met his parents, who gave
friendly dinner in honor of the en-
gagement.
Captain Graham's father, Sir Hem
ry Graham. is grand commander of
the Order of the Bath and knows in
timately every peer of the realm. Miss
Barrymore will therefore find no diff
ficulty in entering the very highest
society in England.
The Duchess of Sutherland is giving
a luncheon in honor of the engaged
copule. Miss Barrymore and the beau
tiful duchess nave been friends for
many years. and Miss Barrymore has
been her guest in Stafford house and
the Sutherland's country homes fire.
quently.
Captain Graham, being the second
son, will have to wait some time be-
fore he inherits the title of baronet,
which will enable the pretty Ameri-
can actress some day to be called
Larry Graham.

IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Over 200 Sightseers Rounded up by
Aberdeen Police.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Aug. "A squad
of police officers rounded up the no.
boes in the different railroad yards in
Aberdeen Tuesday night, arresting "a
found in an empty furniture car on
a freight train that had just pulled in
to the Milwaukee yards. The men
were packed in the car like sardines.
Thirty-two men were lodged in Jail
until morning and the other 80 were
taken to the junction of the roads
near the city and ordered to move
on. They scattered in all directions
and promised faithfully never to step
foot in the city again. Later the re-
mainder were taken to the city limits
and given the same Injunction.
All who professed willingness to
work were allowed to remain in town
and the police expect themselves to
find something for the men to do.
Most of the hoboes, however, re-
fused all offers to work, some of
them haughtily while others smiled
indulently at the question and de-
clined. None of the men carried fire.
arms and made no resistance to the
officers. Since July the records show
that 245 hoboes have been arrested by
the Aberdeen police.

luered and little lives once deemed
impossible of preservation are now
saved to become a credit to their par
ents and attain honorable old age
when once hope was never entertained
of saving them.
Everybody visits the infant incu-
bators at the fair, because they are
the premier attraction of all the
greater and better features. The ex-
position management made no mistake
in securing this wonderful scientific
curio. Here the spectator. will see
tiny mites of humanity struggling for
a mere existence, weak but warning TO,
life which the incubator alone can
vouchsafe. Here no racial line, colo,
line no social line is drawn. Humanity
and it's nobler impulses hold undis-

FACES AN INQUIRY.
Joint High Commission May be In
vestigated by Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-There will
be a congressional investigation of
the affairs of the joint nigh commits
sion, of which ce-President Fair
banks is the chairman. This commits
sion has been in existence for seven
years, and so far as can be learned
it has done nothing whatever except
to spend $4,000. 1t was created for
the purpose of settling all disputes
between Great Britain and Canada on
the one hand, and the United States
on the other. Although it has met
many times, nothing whatever has been
accomplished.
The settlement of the Alaskan
boundary line dispute was one of the
most important questions referred to
it, but after considering this subject
for several years without reaching
any agreement, the matter was taken
from the hands of the commission and
referred to the British American
commission of which Elinu Root, Sen
ator Lodge and ex-senator Turner
were members. This commission set
tied the vexatious question during one
season.
Representative McNarry of Boston
WILL when congress meets, introduce a
resolution providing for an investiga-
ton of the condition of the commits
sion. 1t will call on the department
of state for all the papers of the
commission, with a view to finding
what has been done with the $4,000
tenance of the commission.

Young Graybach has been in the

TO REFORM CRIMINALS,
Denver Jurist Announces He Will
Practice New Method in

DENVER, Aug. 2.-Hypnotism is to
be adopted by Judge Lindsey as a
distinct feature in the work of the
juvenile court, in which work he has
won prominence. The fact was an
nounced today by the judge on his re-
turn from Portland, Oregon, where
he has been attending the interna-
tional convention of charities and cor
rections.

edly the most sensational ever intro
duced in any court in any place, were
discussed at length by Judge Lind

He is under the impression that he
would be able to do more good which
will be lasting good by his mode Of
treatment than he has ever done here
tofore.

tice myself so that l may become pro-
ficient. 1 shall also nave my other
workers study the subject. l shall en-

PUBLIC GAMBLING.

Can public gambling be stopped? IS
this city a good many times, says the
Minneapolis Journal. We are under
the impression that just now a good
deal of it has been stopped and we
are inclined to think that a good deal
of it will not be resumed. Nor do we
hear anyone say anything nowadays in
favor of public gambling. There was
a time when certain class Of business
men pretended to believe that public
gambling was a good thing, because
it made business lively" Perhaps they
actually believed this to be true, but
probably they have progressed beyond
that mistaken notion, for it is now
very rarely advanced by anyone.
The professional gambler is a para
site of the worst variety. There is
absolutely no excuse for him, nothing
tude of large business institutions to-
ward employees who associate with
him contradicts fatty the once enter
tanned notion that gambling is food
for business, and no employer or man.
ager of any important commercial en-
terprise is now disposed to justify len
iency with this vice as a public in
stitution.
OF course, it is not contemplated that
the private habits of individuals shall
be regulated or that the gambling pro-
pensity privately INDUCED, shall be an
tagonized by police power, but gam
bling as a public business, where it's
influence reaches the young, the UNI
wary and the inexperienced, is against
the law, and in this community, for
the time being, at least we are likely
to be rid of it's blighting influence
With sentence to the workhouse as
q reasonable certainty for violation of
the gambling law, the business will be
much less attractive than formerly
when the fleeing of the next victim
would discharge the burden of the Gus
tomary fine.

was brought in by an election officer
who was VIGOROUSLY a member of the
gang. Another election judge de-
manded that it be opened, it being sus-
piciously heavy for a box that had
not yet done duty. Immediately Hart
man marked a ballot and thrust it in
the box, shouting that voting had be-
gun and that it was too late to inves-
tigate the box. At the close of the
voting another member took the check
books into a back room. Then the
votes were counted. There were 373
votes. An inspection of the check
books showed 374 names, but TIA OF
them were written in brown ink and
200 in blue ink. OF the 200 in blue ink
it appeared that they had voted exact
ly in the alphabetical order in which
their names appeared on the assessors
books 1t was also noteworthy that
they mad arrived at the polls in the
exact order in which their homes
stood upon the streets in the pre-
cinct. The man who lived at 1927 of
a certain street voted just after the
man who lived at 1925, and he, in
turn, was Immediately preceded by
the man who lived at 1923.
- The whale 200 votes were, of course,
fraudulent All of the names which
were written in the blue ink had
either already appeared in the brown
ink columns and were voted twice,
or they were manufactured. The fact
that the assessors lists were used
would indicate that there were such
persons living in Philadelphia, but
popularity. of Philadelphias politics is
that the assessors belonged to the
gang ana were quite serviceable in
manufacturing voters. Several of the
assessors have disappeared rather than
face the music. There is also a case
on record in which the gang not only
manufactured list, but also manufac-
tured an assessor to swear to 1t.
When it came to manufacturing the
Philadelphia gang worked overtime.
While this kind of fraud is being
relentlessly exposed by Mayor Weaver,
it is worthy of note that the head and
front of the defense of this kind of
politics is a senator of the United
States. Boies Penrose, a serviceable
yonug fellow whom Quay discovered
and made a state leader, and whom
he promoted to the senate after hav-
ing tried him as state chairman and
found his nerve immaculate, is in
daily consultation in Philadelphia with
the leaders of this kind of work, plac-
ing all the obstacles mis- feeble intel
lect can suggest in the way of the ex-
posture and punishment of such gross
perversions of the election laws.
Comment on the depths to which
partizanship can descend is unneces-
sary when we can point to a United
States senator who has no more sense
of shame than by his acts to openly
avow the connection. -

IT IS UP TO CHIEF BROWN.

Mayor Hunts annual message to the
city council, published in full in to-
days Statesman, is a strong, clear and
comprehensive discussion of munich
pal affairs and it should be carefully
read by every citizen. After pointing
out in forceful and eloquent man.
ner the wonderful growth, progress
and improvement of the city during
the last three years under his admin
istration, Mayor Hunt takes up the
defects of our city government and
suggests what should be done for its
improvement. He urges the adoption
of a new charter such as has been
provided by the legislature for cities
of the second class, giving the mayor
power to appoint the chief of police
and most of the other officers of the
city, thus placing the responsibility for
efficient government on one man.
When it has been established that the
city has 10000 population the city may
adopt a charter suited to a city of the
first class.
One of the best features of the
mayors message is that portion in
which he clearly expresses his deter
mination to demand a strict enforce
ment of the laws against gambling, in
GLIDING the use of nickle-in- the-slot
machines, and the publication of the
Rose street tenderloin district. 1t is
notorious fact that during the greater
part of the last two years gambling
has run openly in this city under the
eyes of the police without molestation.
That it can be easily suppressed in its
most fragrant aspects was clearly
proven during the six weeks before the
recent city election when all gambling
resorts were closed. 1t is certainly a
remarkable fact that the next night
after the election gambling opened full
blast in all the old places and in many
new ones. Who gave the gamblers the
tip? Certainly there was nothing in
the result of the election in the First
Ward to warrant the conclusion that
the violation of state and city laws
was to be winked at in the future.
1t is now up to Chief of Police
Brown to do his duty by enforcing the
laws. The mayor has left no question
as to his attitude on the question of
gambling and there is no reason to
doubt that. his views have the ap-
prOval and support Of a majority of
the city council. The full response
biiity for the enforcement of the
laws now rests upon the chief of po-
lice and he can not shift it to other
shoulders. His faithful lieutenants are
ready to obey his orders, and, if he
gives the word gambling will be clos
ed within twenty four hours and the
use of some saloons as bagnios and
designation houses will end, for the or
dinances against the frequenting of
saloons by women either as solicitors
for trade or as musicians will be en-
forced If the chief gives the word.
The law-respecting people of Walla
Walla would like to know what Chief
Brown is going to do about it and in
this case action will speak >louder
than words.
