ANTI
SALOON
LEAGUE

Or. D. Paul RAIDER, the newly-selecteC
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloor
League, preached in Salem yesterday
At the Y. NJ. c. A., in the afternoon
he spoke to the young men and in the
evening delivered an address at the
Methodist church to an audience that
packed the auditorium.
Taking for his subject: "And There
Wasted His Substance" DR.. RAIDER
called attention to the great wastes Of
modern life. He said the sin Of waste
was the greatest sin Of modern tim,s.
The energies Of men and women were
going TO waste. Twenty percent Of
energy is used for working and so per
cent for loafng. The churches were
great wasters A magnificent pile Of
stone work. q high.priced choir back
of the pulpit a high.salaried minister
to preach, and 30 TO 40 people in the
pews-and The saloon men and evil dis
posed stand around and laugh. They
get the moncy-they get the boys.
they get many Of the girls. In all Of
our cities we could see suits going by
that ought TO have men in them.
The great trouble was that men had
wrong kind Of ambition No man
could afford 70 give up honor.

GENTLE REMINDER TO SEN
IoR usUADA.

OYSTER BAY N. y, Sept 49,
After protraeted conference with
Secretary of war Taft, Acting secre'
tary of State Bacon and Secretary
OF the Navy Bonaparte, President
Roosevelt last night addressed an Inn
portant communication to Cuba, and
arranged to send Secretary Taft and
Bacon to that island on Sunday to
make a thorough investigation Of con-
ditions there and lend their influence
to restore peace.
The communication is addressed to
the Cuban minister to the United
States, senor Usuada. 1t is an inn
passfoned plea TO Cuba to realize her
responsibility as a self-governtng re-
public and to restore peace in the
island. Her attention is called in no
uncertain Language to the response
bilfty which the United States bears
to the island, and the certainty that
such responsibility will necessarily be
exercised should peace not be pre-
served.

created CONSERVATION in both Mary
land and West Virginia, has passed
strasburg Junction, on ths Valley
branch Of the B. q o. railroad and
lis now thought to be in or near Rich

Police we're detailed to GUARD the
station at winchester to prevent the
landing Of the dreaded man who was
travelling in an open gondoia car, lord
of all he surveyed. the railroad crews
being afraid to approach him for the
purpose Of putting him on the train.
He was well dressed with one arm
in sling, an eruption and ugly run
ming sores were apparent on his face
and hands.
Railroad men say he is the identical
man they saw taken several weeks
ago from Brunswick, Md, to a lonely.
hut in the mountains Of West Ytr-
eInia. The leper states that his desti-
nation was Richmond.

FOUND GUILTY
SHORT CHANGE ARTISTS TRIED
AND CONVICTED BY WHEEL
ING COURT.

WHEELING, Sept. 1.-THE jury in
the case Of Edward L. Robinson and
George Morgan, which was tried in
the criminal court yesterday, came in
yesterday afternoon with verdict Of
guilty as charged in the Indictment.
The Indictment faced by the men
charged them with short changing L.
3. KIetzley. the Market street book
dealer, and the State made clear
case. Prosecuting Attorney schucIt
looked after. the interests of the State
and the man were defended by s. O.
Boyce. When the case was called for
trial the following jury was empanel-
ed: George w. Guy, Charles Holiday
Thomas Cox, w. F. Rumble, ]. M,
Gooch, D. A. Toomey, A. H. Werder,
Joseph Debold, Jacob Richenbrod, j.
M. Wilhelm, e. w. Dodds and Thomas
Templeton. The Testimony was brief
and the case went to the jury before
noon. After being out about an hour
the Jury returned with a verdict OF
guilty as stated above. Attorney
Boyce made motion for new trial
which will be argued later.
The testimony showed that one OF
the men purchased 25 cent box OF
paper protferIng $40 bill. After re-
ceivtng the change he explained he
had intended offering SO bill and
securing the $50 handed back s. bill
and $4.75 in change, Thus swindfinG
the store out of $40. 1t was also
shown by the police that the men
have bad records, they having been
arrested here several weeks ago on
the same day they were released from
the Allegheny county penftentiary. 1t
was also shown they had served time
in other prisons.
The small amount secured by the
men makes the offense misdemean'
or, which is punishable by imprison
ment from one day to two years.
