DEMOCRATIC CLUB DELAYS
ACTION ON GAMBLING

Because Mayor Harper and Nathan
Cole were called to a business meet
ing, last nights directors meeting of
the Democratic club was deferred to
tonight.
One of the questions to be settled is
the connection of Democratic club
members with the so-called Demo-
cratic club annex" in the German
block, in which gambling was said to
have hourished.
Mayor Harper several weeks ago no.
titled Chief Kern that no gambling
must be permitted, hence the prediction
is that if the evidence is clear the guilty
ones in the club--if their connection
with the .annex" is shown-must
suffer.

SUSPECTS IN PLAN TO BLOW
UP VESSELS ARE ARRESTED

BY Associated PresA-
RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 20.-Several ar
rests have been made in connection
with the alleged plot to destroy part of
the American fleet now in this harbor
The band which is supposed to have
organized the plot is presumably com
posed of five Italians, one Canadian and
two Germans.
John Fedher is one of the Germans
Three of the Italians have been ar
rested here, and it is believed that
other members of the band have been
taken into custody at Sac Paulo.
The members of the band counted on
the assistance of a Spaniard named
Rochero, who has lived in this city for
long time. A year ago, however, this
man went insane and since then he has
been shut up in sanitarium at Mon
teVideo.

Pennsylvania SUPREME COURT
HOLDS LOW RATE INVALID

y AssoclaI FFess
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-The 2
cent railroad fare now in force in Penn
sylvania was today declared uncon-
stitutional by the state supreme court,
which handed down an opinion affirm
ing the decision of the common pleas
court of Philadelphia rendered last
September.
The vote of the court was four to
three, the dissenting opinion being
handed down by Justice Meistrezat.
The railroad contended that the law
was unconstitutional in that 1t was
unreasonable and confiscatory and the
court in a decision sustained the COM
pany in its contention.
1t is not likely that an appeal will
be taken and today's decision may be
regarded as final.
