TO Reform HOT SPRINGS, ARK
Secretary Hitchcock Will Try to Prevent
1t Being the Resort OF Gamblers.

WASHINGTON. June 30.-Hot Springs,
Ark. sometimes called the Monte Carlo
Of the Southwest, will no longer be haven
for the sporting element Of the country
II Mr.. Hitchcock. the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior, can prevent it. The Hot Springs reser-
walton is under the jurisdiction of the Gov
eminent, and Secretary Hitchcock Is the
responsible officer. He has received many
complaints from Government az ents re-
Gently to the effect that Hot Springs is COM
ing to be looked upon rather as a gambling
than as a health resort
Secretary Hitchcock intends to preeerve
the utility of the reservation as q health
resort If possible. but he is at loss as to
how to proceed. The gambling resorts
and questionable houses are OF the reser-
walton proper, and Government authority
is accordingly limited. 1t is believed,
however, that by amending the regulations
governing the use of the springs the moral
tone of the place can he bettered. Failing
in this, Secretary Hitchcock will take
another tack.
Politics is said to be responsible for the
fact that Hot Springs is a wide open town.
Complaint is made by reputable citizens
there that efforts to reform are frustrated
by the politicians. If the Secretary Of the
Interior finds that he is powerless TO reach
the lawless element he will call the attention
of the Acknowledgement to the conditions,
with request that he endeavor to bring
about the enforcement of the laws by tho
local authorities.

THE COST OF LIVING.
Agents OF the bureau OF Labor VIII Report
That There Has Been Slight Decline.

WASHINGTON, June so.-Agents Of the
Bureau of Labor have just completed an
exhaustive investigation into the cost of
living, based on retail prices, and arc now
preparing their report, which will be made
public late in August. While the data have
not been fully compiled, and all the COM
parsons have not been made, the present
Indications are that the figures will show
that there has been a slight decline In
retail prices for staple food products during
the last year. This apparently substan-
Just before the last election, which showed
that there was decrease in the COST Of
living. The figures OF that bulletin we're
somewhat involved and were ridiculed,
and it was contended that they we're pre-
pared for political purposes.
