Congressman Watson and
Rev. Kuhn Will Speak at
Old Settlers Picnic.
Is TO BE HELD SATURDAY
NEITHER WILL SPEAK ON A PO.
LITICAL SUBJECT BUT BOTH
WILL USE THEIR BEST ORA
TORiCAL EFFORTS

Although it is the understanding
that nothing in political way will
be said, the coming battle of oratory
between Congressman James f. Wat
Democrat, the opponents in the pres
ent congressional race, at the Old
Settlers picnic at Centerville next
Saturday is looked forward to with
much interest in this county, and it
is probable that the largest crowd
that ever assembled at an old set
tiers picnic will be present to see the
fire works go off.
The committee on the arranging of
the program made it one of the re-
quirements that neither of the two
candidates should speak on any po-
litical subject and neither will do so,
but it is expected that the two will
make a good display of their foren-
sical powers along other lines.
The picnic will be held in Kings
Grove North of Centerville all day
Saturday. The program which has
been arranged is as follows:
Music-Hagerstow Band.
Prayer.
Reading Of Minutes.
Reading of death roll for the past
two years.
Recitation.
Talks by Old Settlers.
Music.
Short Addresses-Hon. James Z.
Watson and the Rev. T. H. Kuhn.

Police Raid Ed. McKay's Bar
ber Shop Getting Old
Cards and Dice.
COLORED MEN ARRESTED
1T HAS LONG BEEN SUSPECTED
THAT GAMBLING HAS BEEN CO.
ING ON BUT 1T WAS NOT PROV
EN- TILL YESTERDAY.

The gambling which has been going
on for some time at Ed MCkays bar
her shop on East Main street has
come to temporary, if not a perman-
ent stop. as Ed Mckay and three men,
all COlOrcd. were arrested by Officers
McManus and Wierhake yesterday on
the charges of gambling and keeping
a gambling house. The police have
been keeping the place under watch
for some time, thinking that gaming
was going on, but they did not make a
raid until Sunday night. This was un-
successful as no one was found in the
shop, but Yesterday when Officer Nc
ManuS and Wierhake were called to
the shop to stop fight between Will
liam Paine and Mckay, it came to
light that Paine had lost in the neigh
bOrhOOd of SIS in the game the night
before and this was what had caused
all the trouble between the two men.
The officers placed Mckay, Paine and
Joseph Jones and Howard Harris two
other mon who were in the shop at
the time under arrest, and they were
taken TO the police station, where a
charge of gambling was placed
against them Paine. Harris and
Jones plead guilty of the charges and
were each fined $40 and costs, but
when Mckay faced Judge Converse
charged with keeping a gambling
house, he plead not guilty, and his trial
WAS held over till today.
The gambling paraphernalia which
was captured, consisted largely of Old
greasy playing cards and dice. which
showed that they had been used to
great extent in the last few weeks.

REWARD OF $4,000
FOR STENSLAND
Bankers OF the Chicago Clear
4. ing House Association ,
Make up the Purse.
DISCOVERIES BY POLICE
COLD BLOODED SWINDLER HAD
SECRET ROOM IN HIS DEN AND
TELEPHONE so HE COULD
HEAR WHAT EMPLOYEES SAID.
Publishers Press1

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Five Thousand
dollars reward will be paid for the ar
rest Of Paul O. StensIand fugitive
president of the Milwaukee Avenue
State Bank. The banks of the Chica
go clearing house association will pay
the reward. Announcement Of the
determination of the bankers to stOl
at nothing in the capturing of the ac
cused bank officer accompanied the
passage OF a resolution to pay the re
ward. The bankers were in confer
ence for an hour.
Their resolution was as follows:
"Whereas the banks of Chicago
have a special and peculiar interest
in securing the conviction and pun.
ishment of persons guilty of forgery
defalcation and other like crimes
when such offenders are Chicago bank
officials; and,
Whereas, Paul O. Stensland, presi-
dent of the Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank, is accused of such crimes on
apparently good grounds and is a fugi-
tive from Justice:
"Resolvod that the clearing house
be and it hereby is authorized and
directed to offer and pay in behalf of
this association a reward of $4,000 for
the apprehension and delivery into
the hands of the sheriff of Cook
county, Illinois, of said Paul O. Stems
land"
Discovery of a mysterious room in
which Paul O. StensIand is believed
to have prepared to hide himself in
his big house in Irving Park this af-
ternoOn brought new interest into the
police hunt for the banker.
Inspector Shippy learned of the sup
posed existence of the room of mys-
terry and sent two detectives to search
the house. These men, with yard
sticks and tapelines, measured all
through the house. They discovered
adjoining Stenslands den" a portion
of the house the use of which could
not be accounted for.
Finally they tapped upon a panel in
Stenslands den. 1t sounded hollow
and was partly concealed by draper
les. When the door was forced there
was disclosed an opening large en-
oCsh for man to stand to conceal
himself.
A secret telephone was discovered
in the back part of a desk in the so
called "directors" room of Stenslands
bank.
Inspector Shippy was making inves-
legations there. He broke open the
desk and discovered the telephone re-
ceiver, locked in a special compart-
ment at the back of the desk. He
called for an expert from City Elec-
trician Ellicotts office. An electrician
went out to the bank and traced out
the connections of wires radiating
from the receiver of the instrument.
The police say that this phone gave
Stensland direct access to all mes
sages coming into or going out from
the bank.

CHAIRMAN SHONTS CALLED
WITH CONGRESSMAN SHER.
MAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE
AND TALKED OVER MATTERS

oyster Bay, y. Y, Aug. 13.-Chair-
man ShOnts of the Panama Canal
Commission and Congressman Jas
~. Sherman, of the Republican con
gressional committee, of Utica, who
were guests of the President at Sag
amOre Hill today, returned to New
York City this afternoon.
I'VE discussed the Republican cam
paign text book said Chairman
Sherman after his talk with the
President. 1T will be issued next
week, and before getting it out
wanted to have the Presidents final
opinion upon certain matters it is to
contain. The next house of represent
tatives will be safely Republican.
There is no doubt about that, we
may not carry as many districts as
we did last congressional election but
we will have safe majority and
plenty to spare
Chairman ShOnts said he had had
a long talk with the President about
canal matters and that he would ad-
vertise Immediately for $500 Chi
nese coolies to dig dirt in the 18th
mus. Mr.. ShOnts said that he did
not intend to employ Chinese eXclu-
sively as had been charged by critics
of the canal administration.
I'VE want competition in labor as
well as competition in everything
else for the good of the canal" he
said. IF we employed one rationale
ty exclusively they would soon begin
to think that they owned the 18TH
mus. We have found the negroes
practically worthless. The Spanish
workmen have made good and we
will employ more of them

Jerome Not a Moral Censor.
New York, March 30.-In the course
of an interview published today in
which he discussed his actions follow
ing the revelations made by the leglsla-

Attorney Jerome advocates the enact
ment by the present legislature, of a
law making it larceny for an officer
of a corporation to make political con
tributions from the funds of any cor
poration. Mr.. Jerome stated tina. he
did not believe such political contribu-
tions constituted larceny under the ex-
isting statutes. In conclusion he said:
"There never has been for one mo-
ment thought in my mind that the
bulk of the transactions condemned by
people generally could be justified
from a moral standpoint, but ON the
other hand, was not censor of NOR
ais in my official capacity. I was an
officer sworn to perform my duty un-
der the law as | found it"
