STATE
STREET
Make a DuStIeSS Drive From
Depot to City

As the beautiful spring weather is
approaching and the streets are becom.
ing dry and dusty, some steps should
be taken either by the city government
or private parties to have state street
sprinkled at least to Twelfth, and from
there to the passenger depot This is
the street that all strangers travel when
they come into salem, and they should
not be treated to a dust bath the min
ute they arrive here. Many other
streets ought to be sprinkled and kept
free from grass which are not, but thil
is especially true Of the thoroughfar'
mentioned.
II the city council cannot assume thi'
work and expense some steps should b
taken by private individuals TO that
end. Many euterprlsing citizens will

MANY DAYS
OVERDUE
ANXIETY FOR SAFETY
OF STEAMER AMERICAN
With 150 Souls on Board She Has
Not Been Heard Of Since Leav-
ing Azores June II.

New York, July 3.-No news OF any
kind has been received of the steam
er American which sailed from Mar
seilles on June for this city, car
rying 110 passengers and forty men
comprising the crew, and anprehen'
sion for the safety of the steamer was
expressed in shipping circles today
The steamers agents, however, ex-
plain that she likely has become dis
abled by a breakdown OF her machlh-
cry or the loss of her propeller.
1t was June IL that the steamer
left the Azores, and she should have
come into port here in in nine days
with good weather. Twenty-Five days
have passed and no vessel arriving
from Mediterranean ports mas sighted
America.
The anxiety as to the fate Of the
ship was increased today when II WAS
learned from the photographic bureau
that n derellct had been for some time
directly in the path which the Amer
lea would have taken after leaving
the Azores. 1t is the dismasted
steamer Lizzie Chadwick. who was re-
ported In latitude 38, longitude 3S on
June z. point about 400 miles due
west from the Azores, and directly In
the course to New York.

Tom Taggarts Gorgeous
French Lick Resort Invaded.
SUITS BROUGHT TO ANNUL
COMPANIES CHARTERS
Indiana officers Take Vigorous Steps
Against Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.

Paoli Ind, July 3.-The state of
Indiana, acting through Attorney Cen
eral Charles Miller, OF Instructions
from Governor Hanly, today filed quo
warranto proceedings in the Orange
county circuit court against the
French Lick Springs Hotel company
and West Baden Hotel company ask
Ing that their charters as corporations
be revoked that they be enjoined from
permitting gambling on their proper
ties, that receivers be appointed and
that a division of the assets be made
among the defendants and their cred
itOrs.
The suits are based on the charges
that the hotel companies have allowed
gambling to take place in their Ca
sinos.
At the same time that the suits
were filed here local officers, headed
by Sheriff Maris Deputy Sheriff Jones
Constable Baggerley and City Marshal
Salices raided the two casinos at the
hotels, arrested and captured large
amount of gambling paraphernalia,
including nineteen slot machines. The
operations were directed personally by
Attorney General Miller.
The entire party was brought from
French Lick and West Baden to this
place and given a hearing before JUS
tice Gillum, and the gambling furni-
ture was placed in charge of deputies.
A hearing on the suits for injunc-
tions and receivers will be held Thurs
day. Thomas Taggart, chairman Of
the democratic national committee, Ia
president of the French Lick Springs
hotel.
The officers found a number Of
guests playing keno at West Baden
one guest jumped through the VIM
dow, but the place was surrounded.
None but the attendants were arrested.
r. ID. Geery the manager of the
Casino at French Lick, was arrested.
No one was playing when the officers
arrived. The Colonial Hotel at Wes;
Baden was raided also. and some
gambling paraphcrnalia secured Rou-
lette and faro tables were found at
all places.
In the French Lick complaint, after
describing the hotel property and the
| casino, the complaint says:
Large numbcrs of boys and girls
| between the ages of 10 and 10 years
visit that casino and there are per-
mitted to gamble for money on the
slot machines, at which they are per-
mitted to play nickels, dimes, quarters
and half dollars in money.
children also are permitted to visit
| the second floor of the casino, where
| the roulette tables and wheels AMI
Klondlke games, faro tables and book
makers tables, and other gambling
devices are kept, and where large
sums of money are wager ed"

GOVERNMENTS PROPOSITION
TO LAND HUNGRY PEASANTS

st. Petersburg, July 3.-The gov
ernment's agrarian bill has been fin
ally approved and introduced in the
lower house of parliament, accompan-
led by a sort of proclamation to the
peasants glorifylng the emperors con-
slant solicitude for the peasants. The
government makes the following prop
ositlons:
FIrst-To distribute upon favorable
terms all the arabic lands in Euro
pean Russia to the peasants who have
not sufficient lands.
geeond-To purchase on account OF
the state all land which private own
ers are willing to sell.
Third--To sell all such lands to
the peasants on reasonable terms.
Fourth-To establish the principle
that new as we'll as old peasant lands
are not saleable to persons not be-
longing to the peasant class besides
exempting the land from seizure for
debt.
Fifth-To assist immigrants to
reach Siberia and Central Asia ana
help them in installing themselves
there. not only by allotments OF land.
but by building new government
roads
sIxth-To make arrangements for
the sale OF lands the immigrants
leave behind them, for the benefit OF
these immigrants.
A statement accompanying the pub
IIcatI6n OF the governments agrar-
ian measure gives figures to prove that
the peasants dream that universal
distribution would give ample land
to all Is fallacious.
