him. He did not know at first what
they were doing. and imagined it
might be some fooling, but after see
ing the same operation performed two
or three times, he realized that sys-
tematic robbery was going on as soon
as a man was drunk enough not to
know just what was being done to
him In that town I buried a muir
dered man every week for some time.
Gambling and robbery went together
until most people carried arms. and,
as you know, peaeeable citizens We're
frequently shot or sandbagged on
their way home One friend of mine
was knocked down on leaving our
house and robbed. L remember how
mothers came to me in tears about
their sons gambling, and how wives
told me that their husbands had lost
their all in the same way, and how
suicides were frequent.
When it was proposed to put a stop
to this open condition, the cry was.
You will hurt the town." or You
will make this a jay town" The
last term was used as an argument
here when it was proposed ts allow
amusements on Sundays for which
admission was paid. Most of US, even
if we are not Puritans. want to keep
this a decent city in which we can
bring UP our families respectable and
God-fearing. Very few, for the sake
of little money, WOULD consider for
moment the proposition to turn #
into a hell of open vice.
In the town to which I have been
referring, you viii remember that
with the exodus of gamblers and
sharpers a better class Of people began
to come. and that, instead of hurting
the town. the city gained in every
way by decency and right doing.

TURNED DOWN
 BY GERMANY
Ambassador Hill On His
 Way to Berlin
The Most Surprised Man In Paris When He Heard of His Rejection.

Paris, March 25-David Jayne Hill who arrived this evening from The Hague went to the Hotel Regina where he expressed the greatest surprise when informed by the Associated Press that the German government declined to receive him in the capacity of am baSsador to succeed Charles Magne Tower. He said this was the first in timation he had had of the German governments action and was at d loss to understand the announcement, es- pecially because he personally saw the official communication from Germany to the government at Washington ex- pressing Germany's satisfaction over the ratification of his selection for the post by President Roosevelt.
 Moreover, he said, that on his recent visit to Berlin he did not hear any thing to lead him to believe that he was persona non grata to the German government nor had he received any impression that the situation was diff ferent from the expression in the of ficial communication ne had read.
 In the absence of official advices MT. Hill declined further to discuss the matter. The announcement of Ger many's attitude toward MT. Hill caused much surprise in French diplomatic circles.

 My feet were greatly swollen. my right arm was shrunken and twisted inward. the fingers of my right hand were clenched and could not be eX- tended except with great effort and pain. Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief.

Variety of Estimaticns in Which Rochette the French Financier is b-lI

Paris, March 25.-W'hen he went to the offices of the Franco Spanish bank today in the company of the ex- amining magistrate to go over and ex- plain the books and papers Of the in stitutiOn. Henri Rochette. under ar rest on the charge of extensive swindleS. was received with a diversi- fled reception of misses and jeers mingled with shouts Of approval. Even bouquets were showered upon him. An excited crowd of clients had sJTged about the building all day When he arrived there under guard cries of Down with Rochette" and 'robber' broke out. Hundreds of Ro- chette's employees who still have faith in him. organized an imposing coun- ter demonstration. the principals being women. including persons not in his employ. who threw flowers to him.
 Sensational Paris newspapers insist that the scandal is a political as well as a financial one. Developments do not substantiate this. Premier Gle menceau officially announced that he is not interested with and never knew Rochette.

OVER
 SAME GROUND
The Frisco Bribery-6raft
 Prosecution
A New Grand Jury EX- pected to Return Unas- sailable Indictments.

San Francisco, March 25.-A new and prosecution in the bribery graft case, was developed this afternoon wncn the grand jury met in response to a call from HeLey and listened to the testi- mCny Of the same witnesses who tes- tified before the Oliver grand jury in the matter of the United Railroads trolley franchise which resulted in the indictments being returned charging President Patrick Calhoun. Thornwell Mullally, Tirey L. Ford. William NJ. Abbott. Ruef and Schmidt with brib- cry. The grand jury adjourned after deliberating about three quarters of an hour, no indictments were returned.
 It is apparent, and generally believ- ed that the prosecution is seeking new indictments in the United Railroads trolley franchise matter without the testimony of Ruef. With the elimina- ton of Ruef's own testimony before the grand jury and the immunity con- tract which the prosecution declared void, it will take from Ruef much ann munition upon which he depends for his defense in the United Railroads matter and which enabled him to block the prosecution during the past two months.
 With new indictments against Ruef it is asserted that the prosecution will have out manoeuvred the defense and force him to trial without further de- lay.

All other amend ments except one. were disagreed to. The voting showed concmsively that Only with the sanction on the commit tee could any change be made in the bill.
