Window, Oct l2.-The lid is on in

chimes and kindred gambling devices.
Not only that, but an order has been
issued that boys under eighteen will
not be permitted in the pool hall. The
confectionery stores made complaint
about it, a counter complaint was
made about the custom of dice shak-
ing by minors in the cigar stores and
the upshot was that the council issued
the orders to enforce the law against
anyone shaking dice. The council be.
lives that the law should be something
more than a dead letter, and that
it should be enforced impartially. In
view of this the practice of shaking
for the treats will cease, and about
the only recourse now is to pull
straws or play game of fiddle
winks. The best feature of it is that
it will stop boys going into places and
become habituated in gambling.

Chicago, Oct. lO.-E. X. Slater, dairy
commissioner of Minnesota, says that
the creameries of the west are being
forced out of business by railroad dis
elimination
He is here attending conferences OF
dairy commissioners with railroad of
ticials. The former want the railroads
to make d rate on butter shipped tc
Chicago, as the present tariff is prac
tically prohibitive and the centralizers
in the big cities get all of the bust
ness.
The railroads are now charging
about four times as much for butter
shipped to Chicago as they do fol-
cream, and the creameries in the coun
try cannot compete with the city.
Chicago people are groaning under
another advance in the price OF
milk. The wholesalers must pay more
now, and of course that means that il
will all be charged up to the con
sumner. The high price of labor and
feed for cows is held responsible

public. Mr.. Archbolds statement follows:
"On Saturday, August Z, Judge Lands
announced his decision.
"On Monday, August D. Commissioner
Smiths report is given to the public.
This remarkable report of Mr. Smith
marks another coincidence in the utter
ances of the different departments of the
government on their attacks upon us that
have occurred so frequently as to rob
them of even the appearance of being ac-
cidental.
I'm correction with its publication it
may not be amiss to remind the public
that the act creating the bureau of cor
porations provides that such reports shall
be made to the president for the purpose
of guiding him in forming suggestions as
to legislation and that they might be
made pubic in whole or in part only upon
the discretion of the president. 1t is suf-
ficient w for me to say that in the
preparation of his report Mr.. smith dld
not see fit to even confer with us.

we are at least entitled to be heard in
such a matter. If Mr. Smith had seen fit
to confer with us we would have readily
furnished him with the data for truth

ton"

with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment on land deals, were brought to tria

scented by an array of legal talent, and

sumed in argument by Attorney j.. C,

that Benson was employed by Perrine to
get possession of 1900 acres of the pubic

was to receive $3.50 an acre. 1t is alleged
that this real estate was obtained by fic-
titious applications from persons who
never existed, forged powers of attorney,
forged assignments and brides paid by
Benson to employees of the land office. The
defendants were arrested November 2
last and given temporary freedom on S10,-
900 bail
When the case was called Attorney
Campbell appeared for Benson, and Peter
Dunno and w. s. Woods for Perrine
while the government was represented by
United States District Attorney Robert T.
Devlin and Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney A. P. Black. Judge De
Haven asked If the defendants would be
satisfied to go to trial with the jury al
ready sitting, but was answered in the
negative. Consequently new panel was
drawn, which will be returned Thursday.
