DUKE MUST

TRENTON, N. j.. Oct. 15.-Duke
Abruzzi must come to the United
States and work like any American
gentleman if he desires to wed
Katherine Elkins, according to a
statement by Mrs. A. c. Oliphant
daughter of Senator Elkins, and
half sister to Katherine She says
her father expressed opposition to
American girls marrying titles.
Father is convinced that, be-
cause of her nationality, Katherine
would be an outcast in high Italian
society. The question of money to
be paid to the duke has not influ-
enced him. Katherine can have all
the money she wants. The affair

MINOR PARTIES
STAY IN RACE
SOCIALISTS AND PROHIBITION
lists PREPARING TO RAISE
FILING FEE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH COURTS DECISION.

All candidates on the prohibition
ticket were yesterday notified to
send in to the county auditor the
filing fee by Chairman John An
derson of the prohibition head
quarters. Mr.. Anderson stated to-
day that as soon as he received
word of the supreme court deci-
sion on the primary law he took
steps to notify all nominees that
the fee must be paid.
As many of them live in the
country. he has not yet ascertain
ed what the general opinion of the
candidates is as to continuing in
the race. The leaders declare that
the party will run it's full ticket
and none are expected to withdraw
on account of the fee.
No action has as yet been taken
in the matter by the socialists. 1t
was intended to call a meeting to
consider the matter this forenoon.
but for some reason they were I'M
able to get together. There Is no
uncertainty rs to their running, the
question being whether the So
cialist party as a whole shall pay
the required fees of their nominees
or whether the party shall with
draw from the ballot and vote their
men by the sticker method.
Judge William E. Richardson
stated today that the sentiment of
the party would not permit the
paying of the fees yb the individual
and if the names are placed upon
the ballot at all the filing expenses
will be borne by the party.
The existing tendency of the So
cialists at present is considerably
in favor of availing themselves of
the provision of the law regarding
the sticker method of voting.
At noon today no fees had been
received at the Office of the county
auditor from any member of either
party. The total fees will aggre-
gate about $3.50 for each party.

WOULD PUT JURY
ON STAND

AS witnesses in the case of the
state against John Madden, to be
tried tomorrow on the second
charge of criminal assault upon
Margaret Walker, Attorney Alex
H. Gregg for the defense endeavor-
ed to secure subpoenas from the
court for the entire jury that
served at the last trial. The
court refused the request on the
grounds that the state would be
put to useless expense.
Gregg argued that the offense
now charged is the same offense
for which the defendant was tried
and acquitted by the last jury,
whose testimony is necessary to
show that the girl stated on the
witness stand that no offense had
been committed against her by
Madden after May q. The first
information against Madden fixed
the date of the crime at June /.
The latter one fixes it at June 8.

DOCTOR ENTERS
PROTEST
II

Editor, T1e PreSS-Ihe PROPOSE
ton to establish a city detention
hospital along the beautiful Sum
NIT boulevard, which has just been
built at very considerable ex-
pense to the people owning prop
erty thereon, is to my mind sug-
gestion almost too ridiculous to be
considered by serious, intelligent
people.
The new proposed site of the
pest house in the beautiful little
park nearly surrounded by the
gracefully curved boulevard just
south of it's crossing with the
Great Northern railway tracks is
SO nearly in the heart of the city
that it would incur very great
financial loss to property owners
in that entire district.
Some very reliable authorities
claim that smallpox, scarlet fever
and diphtheria, the three diseases
most generally treated in such
places, are transmissible by air
for many hundred feet All 'au-
thorities are agreed that these dis
eases may be transmitted by in
sects, common house flies, rats,
mice, cats and dogs for long dis
tances.
If the pest house is established
at this place it will endanger the
lives of almost as many people as
if no quarantine whatever were
maintained. In addition to that it
would mar and spoil one of the
most slightly walks and drives in
the city.
1t would he much less objection
able to ag reater number of citi-
zens to leave the pest house where
it is than to think of moving it two
thirds of the way from it's present
site, toward the heart of the city.
In behalf of the many good citi-
zens who have spent large sums
of money in building their homes
in that portion of the city, in addi-
ton to the large expense of build
ing this beautiful driveway | wish
to enter protest against establish
ing a pest house at that place.
Yours very truly, c. P. Thomas,
M. D.

WANTS $1,000 FOR
CHICKEN THIEF NAME.

There has been much trouble out
on Moran Prairie over the theft
of the inhabitants of the chicken
coop owned by Arthur Lawrence,
and now the court is to decide
how much it is worth o be called
a chicken thief when you can
prove yourself innocent. Mr.. Fl. P.
Hutchinson, who brings the suit
against Lawrence, asks the court
to render Judgment in his favor for
$4,000, because his good name had
been injured.
The complaint states that on
July % in addressing one Mr..
Armstrong, also a resident of the
neighborhood, the defendant had
made this statement: Il know the
man who was stealing my chick
ems, it was Mr. Hutchinson" and
otherwise indicated by his actions
that it was the plaintiff that had
looted the chicken house.

Greenacres Co., a firm operating a
fruit cannery at Greenacres,, by the
Washington Trust Co., to whom
the defendant company is said to
be Indebted to the sum 6f between
$4,000 and $4,000. An order was
issued by the court demanding the

ANOTHER BALLOON
DIVES INTO SEA

BERLIN, Oct. 15.-The German
balloon, Busley. last of the con-
testants in the international bal
loon race to be accounted for, fell
into the North sea today, accord
ing to dispatch from DR.. Nienyer
and Hans Heidermann, who were
plotting the balloon. They were
rescued by the steamer Prince
Wilhelm.
All entrants are now accounted
for. The Busley was disqualified,
as the terms specify balloons must
light on land.
Niemyer said they passed over
Hamburg on Wednesday morning
and saw the North sea, but he had
II sacks of ballast, had lost but
little gas and was sure he could
Grass the sea to England. After
sailing 100 miles over the sea the
wind veered to the northward,
threatening to carry him to the
Arctic ocean. He finally sighted
the Prince Wilhelm, put out sig
nails of distress and fell into the
water near the boat.

JUDGE H|NKLE
SAVES MONEY

Convinced that it were idle to
maintain the entire October jury
panel in the superior court under
full pay for the rest of the jury
trial calendar, Judge Hinkle saved
the county tidy sum today by
discharging 80 jurors from further
attendance. Tbs jurors excused
had been permitted to serve on
civil cases only. With the eXcep
ton of the few already tried, all
the civil cases on the docket this
month have been disposed of
through settlement out of court
leaving only criminal cases.
1t is seldom that the jury is dis
charged until the entire trial
docket is disposed of. The rest of
the jury will remain till October %,
or until the calendar is disposed
of. This saving to the county is
about $500, or SO day and mile
age for each man.

TO PREVENT ANOTHER
STREET FLOOD

An effort will again be made to
open Cleveland avenue under the
North Division street fill by the
installation of a viaduct. Last win
ter the water. unable to find an
outlet, gathered on the east side
of Division street to the depth of
four feet in places.
Water entered one of the homes
in the low ground and stood two
feet deep on the floors. At the
present time there is no opening
north of Buckeye avenue for the
district east of Division and the
Corbin park region, hence no drain
age for the region east of Division.
When the division street fill was
made, provision was made for a
viaduct in it's center, but when the
work was made the viaduct was
omitted.

HUGHEs rs BUSY AGAIN.

That Governor Hughes of New York
is one of those who holds to the SEN
sible belief that there is more than
one way to skin a cat is evidenced
by his latest move. He has repeated
ly asked the Empires states legisla-
ture to appoint special committee to
investigate stock gambling as it is
practiced on the various exchanges in
New York city. the fountain-heads in
this country of these detrimental ac-
tivities To these requests deaf ears
have been turned. Now he has chos-
en- the other alternative and appointed
a special committee of nine, bankers
and business men, to make this inves-
tigation.
OF course this committee will lack
many of the powers and much
Of authority that would main
tain with legislative COM
mittee named for this purpose. 1t
will not be able to subpoena witnesses
and make them testify under oath.
That it will be able to make a val
liable investigation there can be no
doubt. The number of honest opera
tors in stocks and bonds who use the
exchanges of New York as the me
diums for the transaction of their
business is not small. They are just
as vigorously opposed to stock gam
bling as are other we'll meaning citi-
zens. 1t is an evil that has crept into
this business through the machina-
lions of men who are contaminated
with the get-rich-quick idea regard
less of the means used to accomplish
their ends. 1t has grown to such pro-
portions that it can only be dealt with
by the strong arm of a state under the
guidance of a strong man like Hughes.
And while his investigating commit
tee may lack some power there can be
little doubt. that 1T will be furnished
with all the evidence it needs by willing
witnesses of the methods which the
stock gamblers employ in the pur-
suit of their nefarious trade. The re-
suit will undoubtedly be suggestions
for the eradication of the evil. Hughes
is the kind of man who can get sug
gestions of this sort enacted into law
even from unwilling legislatures. He
has the people of New York state be-
hind him in his fight against the gam
blers of New York. Those who have
been active on the race tracks of that
state have already received a death
blow. The stock gamblers are next.
Their elimination and suppression will
not be local to New York, not by any
manner of means. New York is mere
ly their throne room. Their agencies,
the bucket shops, are scattered all
over the country. But these fingers
of theirs, mischievously grasping as
they are. will lose their strength when
the sources that feed them are in
jured and crippled and disabled as
Hughes proposes that they shall be.
