THREE THOUSAND GERMAN ATH-
LETES GATHER At INDIAN.
APoLIs FOR CONTEST.
Delegation From the FatherIand Are
the Special Guests-Big Festival
Begins Tonight

INDIANAPOLIS, June 21.-Three
thousand German turner's and several
times that number of other. visitors
are in Indianapolis for the twenty
ninth annual national assembly of
the North American Gymnastic union.
The visitors come from every section
of the United States, though the cities
having a large German population,
such as Cincinnati, New York, Cleve-
land, Milwaukee, st. Louis and Chi
cago, are naturally the best represent
ed. AS special guests of the occa-
sion there is a delegation of German
turner's from the fatherland.
The business district of the city is
tastefully decorated in honor of the
visitors. Myriads of American and
German flags and festoons of red,
white and black bunting meets the eye
at every turn. At four of the princi-
pal street intersections have been
erected colossal statues typifying iae
German idea of physical culture.
The competitions and drills will be
inaugurated at the state fair grounds
tomorrow and will continue through
the remainder of the week. Teams
and whole societies, some including 400
people, will participate, and there will
be events which will show the entire
5000 in beautiful formations.
The festival will be formally opened
tonight with a torcnlight procession
through the downtown streets. Her.
man Liber, president of the North
American Turnerbund, will deliver an
address in Monument Place. and
Mayor Hoffman will welcome the Wis
itors to the city. Following these for
malites there will be a concert in the
German House.

''eminent gentlemen" associated with
the Equitable Life Assurance society
no whit less immoral than those of
Larry Summerfield, the confidence
man, and urged the necessity of laws
which adequately would deal with the
crimes in high finance. His remarks
created profound sensation. Mr.. Je-
rome said:
within the last decade or SO there
has arisen an entirely new class of
in the pale of the law. In earlier days
of American history, when a man
wanted to rob his neighbor, he did so
by force, and there were laws provided
which attended to his case, if ne
should be detected and found guilty.
Europe Leads America
There are no laws to. cover ninety
nine out of one hundred crimes COM
mitted every day in this era of high
finance. In England, France and the
countries of Europe, the necessity of
safeguarding the people against finan-
cial crimes has been recognized by
end.
1.-The United States has singularly
been backward in this regard.
The trouble in this country is that
the morality of a great many people is
governed by what is on the statute
books. Thousands of New Workers.
are blind to the moral side and only
know an act is immoral when it is
written into the law as felony.
The Equitable Affair.
There is the recent exposure of the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. In the case of the eminent
gentlemen who governed it's affairs l
will admit the things they did were
not criminal, as defined in section 52S
larceny. 1 contend, however, that in
moral sense they should come with
in the purview of this section, and
defy them to distinguish their acts
from the acts defined in it.
Since the Equitable house cleaning
began, l have been receiving letters
by every mail from people who can't
see the difference between the actions
of the eminent Equitable gentlemen
and the actions of Larry Summerfield,
the confidence man. 1t is not so long
since that 1 sent Larry to Sing Sing,
and people who are writing me refuse
to see why the high financiers of the
Equitable should not follow him.
Send Them to Jail.
"'What is the matter with you?'
is the way some of the letters read.
Why don't you send these people to
jail?'
II met Summerfield in a restaurant
just before ne was convicted and call
ed him over to me. l told him /
would talk with hip as Jerome, not
as the district attorney. He said to
me that he did not see how he could
be convicted. He ended up with this
declaration: 7 did not think l was do
ing anything which was against the
criminal statutes. 1 was acting under
the best legal advice to be had, and,
so help me God, 1 thought l was doing
what all of the big fellows were
selling the suckers something that had
no value at a high price,"

Making the Hoboes Work.

With seven prisoners in the city jail
the city streets are fast assuming u
neater appearance. Chief of Police
Jackson does not believe in letting
them rest in the cool precincts of the
prison when there is work to do, and
he has divided them into two gangs
and put them to work cutting down
all the weeds growing around town.
All the prisoners are serving flve-day
sentences for either being drunk or
hoboes, and with this kind of punish
ment inflicted on them for a while
they will be glad to clear out as soon
as released. The chief also believes
that by giving these men a liberal
dose of work 1t may serve as a warm
ing to other vagrant gentlemen to
steer clear of Baker City.
The prisoners are all well fed when
at work. being given three meals a
day. When there is no work they
only get one meal.-Baker City Her

Drank Alcohol Straight.

Jim Summensuck died here yester-
day evening as the result of alcoholic
poisoning. Wildman, his partner,
was very sick at the same time, but
he recovered. Three men were ar
rested for selling the alcohol to the
Indians, but no evidence could be se-
cured against them. Bootlegging is
one of the growing evils Of Yakima at
present. The business Of selling liquor
to Indians is one Of the most profita-
BILE in the valley. Alcohol is sold to
them in its pure state. They are sup
posed to reduce it, but on this occa-
sion 1t appears that Summensuck and
Wlldman forgot to put water in their
bottles.-North Yakima Republic.

afternoon about 3 o'clock, by cutting

Mr.. Bryant was assisting in getting

struck a knot with the ak which
glanced in such a manner as to strike
his right leg about three inches above
the ankle joint, severlng the shin bone
and muscles.
He was placed in buggy and taken
to his home, distance of about 15
miles. DIR. McCusker was called by
phone, he driving down the river and
that night dressed the wound and
bringing the patient back with him,
and the next day placed him in the

A DOUKHoBoR HAREM.
Alarming Moral Conditions Found In
Canadian Settlement.

A harem is the latest acquisition of
the Canadian Northwest, says Win
nipeg dispatch. one has been dis
covered a few miles north of Dauphin,
Manitoba, in the Doukhobor colony,
which is ruled over by Peter Veregin,
who is hailed as the second Messiah
by the Doukhobors.
These simple people have blindly
followed the lead of Veregin, and his
every wish is a command. He wanted
a harem and his followers supplied
one. There are IS girls of tender age,
such as are usually seen in the school
room, in the harem. The Doukhobors
seem proud OF the new institution
despite their moral principles.
