BAD ALLIANCE
Rumors of Gambling That May Be
Investigated by Grand Jury.
Some Women involved.

The grand jury may have to deal
with the professional gamblers CT
Alliance before long. The Alliance
Leader is after the poker joints and
crooked gamblers with a vengeance.
In a recent edition of that paper the
whole 'sy'lem" was explained. 1t
was shown how the loaded dice were
manipulated upon the "dupes" and
how marked cards were used at all
times and upon all occasions. 1t was
also stated that women were ire
quent visitors at the gambling rooms
and that the men and women partici-
pated in the game at the same time.
The Leader states that the games are
run as rank robberies and that they
are not what are known to the frater-
nifty as Square" 1t is stated that
the local authorities of that city have
been requested to take action upon
the matter but that they have not
done anything up to the present time.
The matter will probably be brought
before the grand jury if there is no
further attention paid to it by the city
authorities.

MRS, MOOREHOUSE
Will Not Take Stand as Witness in
Her Trial on Charge of
Murder
Murder.

Wooster, o., May 27.-AtDrneys
for the defense in the Moorehouse
murder case argued motions to strike
out the evidence of DR.. Carver, to re-
quire the prosecution to elect on
which indictment they would rely,
to direct the jury to find for the de-
fendant for the reason chat the state
had failed to show where the poison
was administered, if at all, and to di-
rect the jury to find for the defendant
for the reason that the state failed to
make a case.
Judge Eason overruled all. When
the case is called Monday the attor-
neys for Mrs. Moorehouse expect to
finish in few hours, as they will call
but four witnesses. Mrs Moorehouse
will not take the stand.

MEET WITH POVERTY
At San Francisco Instead of PIent,
of Work--Hard Time to Make
Living.

Cincinnati, o., May 27.-The idea
entertained by many that San Fran
cisco is suffering from labor fam
inc and that there is work there at
fabulous wages was dispelled in Gin
cinnati labor circles. Word was
received from the joint carpenters
council of San Francisco, advising
all mechanics to stay away from the
devastated city, for at least six
months, as there is no work now for
anyone.
1t was stated that, while)the normal
population of Oakland is 100000,
there are now 100000 there. These
100000 in excess are mostly all men
who went there believing there would
be plenty of work at good wages.
instead, they are having hard time
to get enough to eat and find place
to sleep.

SCOUNDRE[S

Revelations.
Chicago, May 27.--Londbn Icorre-
spondent of the Chicago Daily News
says:
Americans trying to do business in
England are fighting an uphill battle
owing to the revelations of dishones-
ty in the United States. The idea
is sedulously promoted by English
traders who have felt the force of Am
erican competition, that all Americans
are scoundrels and that not only the
big insurance companies but CONNER
cial enterprises of all sorts are af-
fected.
+. G. Vanduser, honorary secretary
of the American society in London,
informs your correspondent that two
Canadians asked to have their names
stricken from the active list of the
society because they were assumed
to be Americans and therefore found
it increasingly difficult TO sell their
goods.

no."

years ago." continued Mr. Vanduser,
we were widely distrusted. l have
lived to see this feeling disappear,
but now come these reports of Amer
lean recklessness and rascality. The
newspapers from America, as well as
those here, fairly teen with them.
Englishmen, some honestly and some
out of selfish interest, begin to con-
demn us in a lump as q bad lot"
The importance of the agitation to
American manufacturers and mer-
chants may be judged from the
fact that Americans are regularly
selling in the British isles nearly ev-
everything worn, eaten and used by
man. They sell metal products, from
locomotives to needles; household ef-
fects, from divans to mouse traps
shoe brushes, wagons. carriages.
cordage, drugs, watches, smokeless
powder, lead pencils, fountain pens,
peanuts, popcorn, candy and so on

tion, implicit or explicit, is that the
taint of American fraud may reason
ably be suspected to lurk in all these
articles. --,:"

Wooster, o., May 27.-Joe Frittes
and w. ID. Ellenbarger engaged in
fight with hatchets and stones, and
one of the men may die. The fight
grew out of family feud. Ellenbar-

house. They disagreed as to the col
or which the house was to be painted.
Frittes said white and Ellenbarger
said green. Neither would yield, and
the house was painted half white and
half green.
When the men saw the ludicrous
appearance of the domicile their ire
rose to such a pitch that a fight en-
sued. Frittes is badly injured.
