POKER PLAYING
JARS MONROV|A
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ACTS
WITH MARSHAL
Official Admits Inability to Check
Sons of Prominent Men Sim
sIehanded, but Community
Is Now Aroused

Monrovia is talking of organizing a
public committee to SUPPRESS gambling
there.
City Marshal J. r. Miller has found
obstacles in suppressing poker playing
with the force he has-himself-and
the committee organized for action is
the answer of patriotic MonroVia. The
staid community will serve as deputies
if Miller says the word.
That games for money We're being
played in the pretty foothill town was
not a secret by any means. For weeks
talk of big stakes has been common
and estimates of the jackpots ran high.
Names We're banded about.
In time the influential citizens learned
of it, people in church made vague hints
and then anonymous letters began to
flow in on the citys peace officer, Mar
shall Miller.
Watches Blacksmith Shop
Miller has read Sherlock Holmes and
he had made deductions that certain
room over the blacksmith shop was
altogether too popular a trysting place
for the young men of the town. True,
they came there singly. often Whistled
and smoked cigarettes as though they
reached the place merely by accident,
but after they had entered the Mon
rovia sleuth found, by using his eyes,
that they stayed for hours at time.
The time for action came when an
anonymous letter forwarded by the
district attorney to the marshal re-
quested an immediate investigation and
report.
Miller arranged a raid, and made it
alone.
He got into the secret room, but by
secret exits the inmates had made their
escape. Evidently there was an under
ground passage or false doors with a
lookout system that enabled the birds
to escape.
But Miller frustrated gambling there
for while at least.
Play in Store
ThenVit broke out in a new section.
J. w. Harvey, who objects to boys
playing poker, burst into store where
quite unexpectedly he found a coterie of
youths gambling. They were all sons
of prominent Monrovians.
Mr.. Harvey fastened to Marshal
Miller's Office and at once complained
of the occurrence. The official went to
the store at once. He felt sure that he
would make a case.
1.-The boys were simply playing for
fun-no money changed hands," was
the answer an inquirer got. Lack of
cooperation discouraged him.
Now the community has taken up the
cudgel and it is brave youth Tho
these days will take chances in Mon
rovia on being seen with a handful of
cards.

A Chained Library.

Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but its famous chained
library is, perhaps, the most notable
of its curiosities. The library pos
sesses unique interest, as being one
of the earliest attempts to dissemin-
ate knowledge among the people.
The collection was made accessible
to the people in 1856 and numbers
some 200 volumes. The scarcity Of
books and the value of the collection
are both indicated in the care taken
for their preservation, and especially
against loss Of such treasures by
theft. By means Of chains and rods
the books were securely fastened to
the shelves and these chains, it is
rather surprising to learn, were not
renewed until 1857. Among the in
teresting works of the collection is
a copy Of the first edition of Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's History of the World, :"
1914. 1t has suffered from fire, and
tradition says that Mathew Prior was
responsible for its present condition,

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
AMPLE RAINS HELP TRADE
Good Crop Weather Proves Import
ant Factor; Building Opera
tions Are Heavy.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Ample rains throughout the farm
Ing regions proved the most import
ant commercial factor Of the past
week, large crops being essential to
maintenance of Nation prosperity at
the maximum position recently at
tanned. Retail trade responded to the
stimulus of warm weather, light
weight wearing apparel going freely
into consumption, and there is an un-
usually liberal volume of wholesale
business for this time of the year.
Mercantile collections are still
somewhat irregular, but at most cities
payments are improving, and the fl
nancial situation is more encouraging
now that the San Francisco banks
have resumed business without any
disturbance.
Manufacturing plants are well oc-
cupied and building operations are
heavy, but there are indications of a
lower level for commodity quotations
for the month of May. Customary
summer quiet is noted IN some de-
partments, although there is less than
the usual interruption, and prepara-
tions are already in progress for a
very heavy fall season.
Labor conditions have improved,
the only new disturbance of note be-
ing locally among the painters, while
the steel industry suffers less delay
from old disputes Railway earnings
thus far reported for May exceed last
years by II per cent and foreign COM
merce at New York for the last week
showed gains of ,259 in exports
and sl,134,601 in imports over the
movement of 1905.
Absence Of interest is the feature
of tne primary market for cotton
goods, the lethargic attitude of pur-
chasers being assumed in anticipation
of obtaining concessions.
"No cheapening Of cost is noted in
the hide market, but there are more
evidences of uncertainty and lncreas-
ing efforts to restrict purchases on the
part of tanners. Failures this week
were 1888 in the United States, against
211 last year and in Canada. COM
