GOOD TIMES COMING

TO Bear Fruit.
New York. June 3.-Reports OF a
Frightening financial and industrial
outlook reached this city from various
quarters. and although no swift re-
turn Of prosperity was suggested.
there was considerable evidence that
the "give-us-a-rest" campaign is al
ready having a reassuring effect.
The arrival Of twenty buyers from
one ST. Louis dry goods house was one
fact which the dry goods houses OF
this city considered an unusually
favorable sign. In a presidential year
and following a period of hard times
this rush 20 buy is regarded as sig
nihcant
The news that nearly 10000 men re-
turned 10 work in st. Louis. after hav-
Ing been out OF jobs for several
months. was another indication OF the
returning confidence in the west. An
other sign of the success of the Ma.
tional Prosperity association in OBJ.
tanning an industrial revival was the
ordering of 100000 worth OF ma.
terials and goods in the last few days
by St Louis companies in an effort
70 stimulate trade throughout the coun.

M'NICHOL ARRESTED
New Political. Sensation Stirs
Philadelphia
MAYORS SECRETARY INVOLVED

Declares Contractors Story That He
FIeeeed Him Out Of $4,000 During
Reform Campaign IN 1905 Is a Ma
lieious Lie.
Philadelphia, June 3. - A political
sensation that aroused the entire city
was caused by the issuing of a war
rant for Senator James p. McNichol
the Republican leader. on a charge OF
criminal libel preferred by Max Kauf-
mann. seSaetary to Mayor Reyburn.
Kaufmann's action followed the making
public Of a letter written TO Secretary
ID. Clarence Gibboney. OF the Law anu
Order society, in which Senator Nc
Nichol named Kaufman as a go-be-
tween to whom he had paid $4,000 in
the fall OF 1905, with the understand
ing that Gibboney was to raid gam
bling houses and other resorts and dis
credit the administration of Mayor
John Weaver.
The developments which promise to
provide sensational food for gossip in
political circles for some time to come
followed utterances made by Senator
McNichol at a banquet last week. in
which he told OF having paid with 9th
6rs the sum Of $4,000 TO an agent OF
Gibboney 10 have the Weaver admin
istration shown up. Though the money
was paid over, Senator McN.chOl said
the promised exposure OF conditions in
the city in 1905 had not been made
and the money had never been re
turned to him.
Secretary Gibboney wrote letter TO
/ Senator McNichol subsequent to the
speech, In which he denied knowledge
of any transaction involving the So.
600. and called upon McNichol TO make
public the name of the person to whom
the money had been paid.
In compliance with that request
Senator McNichol sent a letter 70 the
Law and Order secretary naming Max
Kaufman as the man who had re
/ ceived the money. He explained in the
! letter that the money was paid 10
| Kaufman in the presence of one OF
1 his clerks and another politician. and
that before paying over the money he
had consulted with United States Sen.
ator Boies Penrose. Israel w, Durham
anu OAntAo WHO Knew III aUOuA the
transaction. He says that he believed
that Kaufman was authorized To rep
resent Mr.. Gibboney. because Kauf
mann told him so.
Kaufman, who was formerly a po-
liucal reporter and in close touch with
Mr.. Gibboney. denies that he ever re
ceived $4,000 from McNichol. and de
clares the story TO be n wilful. mali
cious lie. lie further adds that prior
TO writing the letter 10 Mr.. Glbboney.
/ Senator McNichol came 20 the mayor
Office on Monday and made two propo-
sitions TO him in consideration OF his
assuming position TO substantiate the
story of the alleged payment Of S1O.-
GOO. Kaufman says he invited Me
Nichol 10 leave the Office and frankly
told him he would have 20 go else
where to find a goat" Kaufman
also points out the fact that he was
appointed secretary 10 Mayor Rey-
burn with the approval Of McNichol a
year and a half after the alleged trans
action.
Former Judge James Gay Gordon
has been retained by Kaufman as
counsel In the case against McNichol.

Lord Rosslyn and Sir Hiram Maxim to

elaborate system for beating the bank
at Monte Carlo will stand the test of
actual play ended disastrously for his
lordship.

In the morning session Lord Rosslyn
won $780, but in the afternoon he bet on
the red continuously and the black pre-
dominated SO largely he lost $3.50. max
ing his net loss So 1913
He started the afternoon session with
stakes at S244 on each coup.-hut as I'M
der his system he had TO increase the
stakes whenever he lost. the stakes grad
ually rose until they amounted to $3.50
for each time the little ivory ball settled
in a pocket of the wheel.
The black turned up during the day
26O times. against 227 reds There were
thirteen Zeros.
At the close of the days play Lord
Rosslyn said that, according to his flg-
ures, he was as badly off as he has ever
been He says he must have sixteen
reds come up on call before he can lower
his stakes. and at this time he feels that
there is danger that he will have TO
reach his maximum stake of S1,2OO turn
before he gets the red to come as many
times as he needs.
