COMES BACK
 AT TAGGART Governor Hanley Makes Statemg,. DENIAL NOT E,s-N GOOD JEST  Gambling 2 -asino Was Stopped,
 Zen Resumed. Executive say. Profits of Games at French Lick and West Baden
 Were stored in Hotel Safes.

wiona Lake, Ind. July Ex-Governor !. Frank Hanly at whose command the raids on the casinos at French Lick Springs and West Baden were made today made the following statement:
 'T promised the people of Indiana last September in public address that the Monte Carlos at French Lick and West Baden should be closed If 1t could be lawfully done. l gathered in- formation through special represen- tatives upon which TO base the action similar to that filed this week and would have instituted proceedings then but was assured that gambling should cease and that the law would not De further violated.
 .I was informed through what I be- lieved reliable sources that gambling did cease in December, that the casi- nos were dismantied and the unlawful paraphernalia removed. This condi- tion as was advised continued until March or April this year. when both casinos were opened and gambling re- sumed.
 we shall now learn whether the management of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company and the West Baden Hotel Company Is above the law The issue is not between the managers of these companies and me. It is between a far greater and more enduring power. between them and the law. may soon cease to be factor in the case at all, may cease to have to do with public affairs But the Issue raised between these men and the law will remain until the law IS vindicated and the authority Of the State Is established and respected.
 Not Even Jest.
 asThe statement of MT. Taggart that the French Lick Springs Hotel Com pany has not and will not tolerate gambling on its premises in the light of recent developments and evidence in the possession of the State scarcely rises to the force and dignity of jest. If his statement is true. what is | the meaning of the car load of costly paraphernalia taken from premises oi | the hotel company1
 He admits himself that gsmbitns | has existed. His counsel yesterdaysf open court agreed that it should no' | be permitted between yesterday and the 18th, instant. when the cases ars to be heard. Where did he find thi' new power to stop itf
 The hotel safe itself has been used l for weeks nightly as a place of safs l keeping for the money earned by ths Casino. The truth is that MT. Taggar as manager of the hotal company hal at no time desired anything in connec l ton with the casino that has not beer granted by it's operator. On specia 1 days like that when the members ol the national editorial association visi | ted French Lick he had the power tc cause the suspension of gambling fl the casino during the whole time o their visit and it was actually closed | except as to the lower floor where the J slot machines were allowed to run.
 MT. Taggart will nos be able to foo either the people of Indiana or deceive | the people of this country in this mat | ter. believe that the suits filed bs \ Attorney General Miller to be wei | founded"

 In case there is a conflict between the antagonistic forces in the Island of Panto Domingo. 1t is the duty of the United States, according to Q high ofh- cial to see the Marquis of Queenshury rules are observed.
 The Influence is that the United States Government will not interfere until the interests of this government under the existing modus Feels bound to protect are disturbed. 1t Is evident iy the belief of officials that the nos tiuties cannot proceed far without making necessary the landing of ma rines from the American war ships to see that none of the agreements which baya heen made with the Santo Do- minuo government are violated.

 "There are some peculiar features about these two pending suits to cam eel the leases. Why were they brought in a justice of the peace court at o'clock at night and tried with great effort and secrecy and then as quickly appealed to the Circuit Court whel . they have remained covered up and un- known
 "They were brought to meet exactly such contingency as this and to be dragged out and used as defepse' when needed.
 "rhis State is under obligations te the hotel companies for those official records. for in their complaints the ho- tel companies set Un ownership to the property and base their petition on the ground that the people operating the casinos have been using them for ssar- bling purposes.
 sambling. in all other respects tt" suits for possession are jol<es--as characterized them In the court yes' terda1."

''I thought Tommy Atkins was the best In line, so ! am surprised at what have seen here. While the American soldier Is not so beefy as the Britisher he is smarter and better set up.
 "He Is the best looking soldier Tn the world. superior to the fighting men of Germany, France or England. The only improvement in the uniforms is to give him q better fit. giving full effect to his fine qualities.s
 The patterns submitted by MT. Winter indicate numerous minor chang es in the uniforms. but no radical departure from existing styles.
