POWERS MAY CLOSE
MONTE CARLO GAME
DIPLOMATIC SITUATION ONLY IN
THE WAY
Suggestion That Greatest Gambling
He'll in the World Be Shut
Down Meets with Much
Approval

PARIS. Aug. 31.-The suggestion that
the gambling rooms at Monte Carlo
should be suppressed by the powers of
Europe is attracting widespread atten-
ton.
Max Pemberton, the eminent British
novelist, who is an authority on Monte
Carlo, expresses the opinion, however,
that the diplomatic situation would make
any such action difficult.
II cannot pronounce an opinion on
crime that is still untried,' he said. but
one thing is clear-Monte Carlo is the
haunt of every adventurer and adven-
turess in the world. 1t is astonishing
how many big swindles and thefts have
been planned a Monte Carlo.
'.The obvious curse of the place is that
fools go there to make money out of
the tables and rogues go there to make
money out of the fools. The atmosphere
is most demoralizing to young people,
who lose their heads and also all sense
of the value of money.
Another great evil is that of pure
English girls succumbing to the atmos-
phere. They are often brought in contact
at the tables with undesirable persons,
with whom they actually converse.
"The government of every country is
perfectly aware that Monte Carlo should
be suppressed, but the diplomatic sit
uation makes action impossible, and
France, under whose protection Monte
Carlo exists, is placed in a most difficult
position.
''The authorities at Monte Carlo do
their best to preserve order in the
rooms, but 1t is perfectly impossible to
keep out rogues of both sexes. Wherever
you have unrestricted gambling you will
have attendant crime
1.-THE suicides at Monte Carlo regard
as only minor part of the evil. There
must be thousands of tragedies in all
parts of Europe which could be traced
back to the gambling rooms at Monte
Carlo.
II am confident that the suppression
of Monte Carlo would prove a more prac-
tical and nobler work for humanity than
the advancement of impossible proposi-,
tlons at The Hague peace conference"

MAN WHO SAILED SHAMROCK II
FINED IN COURT
Denies His Guilt but Court Decides
Evidence Justifles the Infliction
of Five Hundred Pound
Penalty
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 31-Captain Sycamore,
who sailed the yacht Shamrock III In the
race for the America cup, has been fined
a100 at Colchester for smuggling to-
bacco and cigars.
1t was stated that the Navahoe, which
Captain Sycamore now commands, put
into Brightlingsea flying the German nag.
At night the chief steward was caught
rowing ashore with 173 pounds of to-
bacco and 2450 cigars.
The customs officers searched the yacht,
and found large quantities of tobacco,
cigars, spirits and perfumes concealed on
board. Captain Sycamore at first said the
last port touched was lover, but after
wards admitted it was Ostend.
In addition to the captain and the chief
steward, eighteen members of the crew
were also charged the penalties claimed
amounting to f292S.
Captain Sycamore, who denied all knowl-
edge of the smuggling, said tina. after
winning the race from Dover to Helgo-
land, the Navahoe had rough Journey
back to Bremerhaven, and Consul Watjen,
the owner, who was taken i'll, was ordered
to Carlsbad.
A three weeks racing cruise in French
waters was abandoned, he continued.
Stores however, had been purchased for
the extended cruise, and this accounted
for the amount of dutiable goods on
board.
Notwithstanding an eloquent appeal by
Mr.. H. w. Jones, who said Captain Syca-
more might as well drown himself if he
was convicted, the magistrates decided
to inflict fine.
The charges against the crew were
adjourned.

TO IMPROVE
THE VATICAN
PROPOSED ALTERATION TO COST
MILLION DOLLARS
LIBRARY AND ART GALLERIES
WILL Be ENLARGED
PapaI Printing Office Is Moved to
Avoid Danger Of Fire to
other and Nearby
Buildings

Special Cable to The Herald.
ROME, Aug. 31.-Improvements which
will cost about s1,000,000 are to be made
in the Vatican palace as soon as prac-
ticable in order to enlarge the library,
the printing office and the museums and
galleries containing the famous collection
of paintings.
Architect Schneider has submitted for
the pope's approval huge transforma-
ton plan, which includes the doing away
with perhaps twenty apartments at pres
ent occupied by employees. This would
add room to the famed galleries and
museums Of the Vatican.
1t has been found that the space for
exhibits was too restricted and that Wis
itors could be better accommodated If an
extension were made. 1t was then decided
to turn all the apartments Immediately
adjoining the museums and galleries into
huge rooms In which could be placed some
of the valuable works of art.
The plan will affect about hundred
members of the Vatican household who
have for years been enjoying free lodging.
and more than twenty families have all
ready been notified that they should
secure lodgings outside the Vatican.
Many of them are connected with the
repairs .of the great Basilica of st.
Peter And are called the Sanprietrini,
tnelr POSITIONS having Deen iHerlteu LUZ
hundreds of years. 1t is their duty to
keep the great basilica in repair, and
their salaries were fixed about 200 years
ago at about $25 month. One sees the
Sanpetrinis swinging down from the
great cupola by ropes in order to make
repairs. Few have witnessed the spec
tacle who have not thought of the risk.
Plus x has decided that because Of
the employment of linotype machines IN
the Vatican printing office there is too
much danger from fire to the nearby
library. Another place has been found.
Hundreds of cases of types, representing
nearly every language in the world, had
to be removed

T OlMAKE CONSOLS
"A LEGAL TENDER
LONDON EXPRESS ADVANCES A
NEW PLAN
Says Quasi Precedent Is Provided by
American Issue of Interest
Bearing Notes During
Civil War
special cable to rhe Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug 31.-Should consols be
made legal tender? This interesting
proposition is put forward by the Ex-
press, as follows:
"It must by this time be borne upon
the consciousness of the hardest optim-
lists that the days of 2h per cent invest
ments are over, probably for all time
The world is becoming too commercial,
and too much alive to the possibilities
of money, to lend 1t on such terms, espe-
cially on security subject to market de-
probation.
"The fall in consols means heavy loss
to the empire at large, as all future gov
ernment issues will have to be made-as,
indeed, latterly they have been made
on a revised basis as to interest.
There is. however, one way of bring
ing consols to par-or practically par
with jump. That is to make consols at
par legal tender for money, subject to
certain formalities securing safe transfer.
''It is hopelessly illogical that the Bank
of England and the Scotch banks should
be able to borrow money without interest
by the issue of bank notes, while the ma
ton has to pay per cent ON its issue of
stock.
ITO say that such course is without
precedent is beside the mark. There is.
however, we believe, quasi precedent IN
the issue of interest-bearing notes by the
American government during the civil
war.
1.-THE experiment might very appropri-
ately be tried by the Australian common
wealth government, which has begun it's
financial career without any precedents
and without any debts. 1t would, Of
course, be opposed by the note-issuing
banks, but we are strongly inclined to
believe that in very short time the ex-
ample would be followed by every stable
government in the world.
mo doubt certain restrictions would
have to be imposed-in relation to the
payment of large government accounts
by it's own stock, for instance. Such an
automatic support to consols would
bring in a large class of buyers,
who, under present circumstances, are
frightened off by the prospect of depreci-
alton, and who prefer to follow the Kor-
anic injunction, and to bury their talents
in the napkins of the various banks"
