GREEK MARBLE IS NOTED
FOR UNUSUAL COLORING

Washington July 1s.-(speciaI)-A re-
port from Consul George Horton at
Athens indicates revlving interest in the
ancient marble quarries of Greece.
Among colored Greek marbles of great
beauty may be mentioned those of the
Island Of skyros; the green marbles Of
Tlnos; the C1pollno marbles of Euboea,
of two shades of green that blend in
broad, wavy lines that run through the
stone; and the red marbles of Mani
known as Rosso Antico. This latter is of
blood-red color. often traversed by veins
of white, or sometimes found In solid red.
A British company owns the whole of
the white and blue quarries ON the PEN
tell mountain range and have spent money
lavishly in developing them. The private
railway OF the company extends fifteen
miles from the inclined plain of Mount
Pentelicus. Blocks Weighing twenty tons
are taken to the eompany's .fashioning

Was His Final Effort.

New York July 19--Louis A Gourdain,
of Chicago, convicted of using the mails
to defraud and sentenced last May to
four and half years in the Illinois peni-
tentiary made his final effort today TO
have that sentence carried into erect. AT
the Savoy last night he discussed his
plans at length He said he would go to
Narraganset pier this morning to see Jus
tice White of the United States supreme
court and present a petition praying that
the warden of the Joliet penitentiary be
ordered to receive and incarcerate him
(Gourdain) in accordance with the sent
ence of the trial court.
Failing in this he will return to New
York, settle some business matters and
then proceed to the Joliet prison and re-
quest that he be received as prisoner.
This is my last attempt to have the
sentence of the court enforced, SAID
Gourdain. MY release from Joliet was
against my wish or desire and IL am
not taken back, I shall spend the next
four years in my own Jail, an exact re-

A. Gourdain. the alleged Chicago and
New Orleans lottery dealer who is seek
ing to be returned to Joliet, ILL.,. peniten-
tlary from which he was recently re-
leased, arrived here from New York to-
night and went to the home Of Justice
White of the supreme court of the
United States. Justice White Informed
him that the clerk of the supreme court
at washington did right In declining to
receive his petition and Gourdain ex
pressed himself as satisfied with this
advice. The justice also said he could
not accept the petition or order It filed
by the clerk of the court.
Justice White is understood to have
suggested to Gourdain that should he
desire further light on the subject he
might call on Justice McKenna. who is
a guest at a hotel here, but Gourdain
said he did not consider an interview
with Justice McKenna necessary, as he
was convinced from Justice Whites
statement that the petition could not be
received by the clerk of the court.
The interview between Justice White
and his visitor was a pleasant one, as
Justice White was formerly acquainted
with Gourdain's father and both came
from LaFourche Parish, La.
Introduces the Subject.
After a. talk on personal matters Gour-
dain introduced the subject of his err
rand, saying that he had presented at
the office of the clerk of the supreme
court in Washington q petition asking
for his return to the penitentiary. and
that the clerk had declined to receive it
on the ground that there must be an
order of the court.
In the petition Gourdain explained that
he had set forth that during his trial
he had given his word that IL convicted
he would not appeal from the sentence,
but In some mysterious way an attorney
had afterwards interviewed and had Sc
cured pardon for him which Gourdain
at the earnest solicitation of his wife
had accepted by signing the required
bond Afterwards Gourdain explained he
repented of his action as he considered
his honor involved because Of his promise
made in court prior to- his conviction
and he therefore desired to be returned
to the penitentiary.

the falling of plaster in the ceiling and

THE actual damage all around is very

which are, however, becoming lighter
each time, indicating that the disturbance
is subsiding. Since yesterday there have
been four slight shocks which were barely

their children or female relatives. There
