A Popular Pallacy.

There is a popular fallacy
about a drowning man sink
ing for tie third time. The
number of times a man sinks
has nothing to do with his
drowning He may sink but
once and he may go beneath
the water any number OF
times. It all depends upon
the person who is drowning,
his 3physical condition and
how quickly his lungs fill
with water. That cycle of
three is carried along by those
who insist that a person dies
in his third congestive chill.
But that is not true. The
same rule holds good in COD
gestive chills az in the case of
the drowning man. A person
may die in the first, or he
may have a half a dozen and
still live. The rule of three
does not obtain there either.

testimony for the. freedom of

DOG KEEPS GUARD
OVER POKER GAME
Despite WatchfuIness of Canine, Four
PatroImen Gain Access to the
Room by Dropping Through
the SkyIight

Despite the fact that bulldog was
kept on guard to prevent a possible
intrusion, a squad of officers under Pa
trolman Berchtold succeeded in gain
ing entrance to the building at % New
High street and arresting four men
on charge of gambling.
The men, who 1t is alleged, were
playing draw poker, ignored the in
termittent groWls of the watchdog
and were surprised when the officers
dropped from the skylight of the
building and made their way into the
room where the game was going on.
At the intrusion the bulldog leaped
at Patrolman Berchtold, who drew his
gun, and a timely call from the owner
of the dog was all that saved the
faithful CANNES life.
The men arrested gave their names
as Louis Johnson, H. G. Springer, H.
Callahan and Alfred Nelson. All were
released on $25 bail to appear in court
this morning.
The police received word that for
some time Sunday poker games have
been going on in the building, which
was formerly used by the Maier Pack
ing company, but all attempts to gain
evidence were futile.
oHoIIy dlter U CloCh lNSI hi6ii
four patrolmen gained access to the
top of the building and entrance to
the room below by prying open what
was used formerly as an ice box.
The poker game was going on in a
room below. and it was at this time
that the bulldog began to emit growls
Investigation by one of the players
failed to reveal the presence of any
one and the sleuths continued their
work, while the dog kept up an inces-
SAINT growing.
After listening awhile the door to
the poker Joint was forced and the
players caught red handed. although
the dog did all possible to give warn
ing.
That a good game was in progress
was evidenced by the fact that over
$50 on the table was gathered to be
used as evidence.

Oriental

Beck Wong, Chinese, made an in
effectual attempt to dispose of a num-
Der of lottery tickets yesterday when
Patrolman Hartnagel entered the store
at 719 North Alameda street and found
a number of lottery tickets on table.
He was caught after a chase and
rough and tumble fight and locked up
in the city Jail on a charge of violating
the lottery ordinance.
Hartnagel, it seems, noticed a num-
ber of Chinese entering and emerging
from the place at 719 North Alameda
street and decided to make investiga-
tions.
He rushed into the store and found
a bunch of lottery tickets on table
He placed them in his pockets, and
while making a further search for
more evidence Beck Wong grabbed tn"
slips of paper from his pockets and
made a rush for the rear of the place.
Hartnagel followed and found the tick

TO ARRIVE AT ST. LOUIS
AT 7::30 A. M.
WILL LEAD RIVER PROCESSION
TO NEW ORLEANS
Every Moment of Chief Executives
Time Taken Up from Early
This Morning Until
Late Today
[By Associated Press.l

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct 24.-Presi-
dent Taft left Texas this afternoon
after passing nine day in that state and
is speeding tonight toward st. Louis,
where he will arrive at 1870 a. m. to-
morrow.
With an informal breakfast, a speech
in the st. Louis auditorium, a luncheon
and the dedication of the government
building in East st. Louis before him
the president will have every moment
of his time occupied up to o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.
Then on the steamer Oleander he will
lead a procession of boats containing
governors, senators and representatives
down the Mississippi river to New
Orleans to attend the convention of the
Lakes to Gulf Deep Waterway associa-
ton.
When Mr. Taft reaches st. Louis to-
morrow morning he will have covered
9706 of the 1900 miles Of his itinerary.
The river journey will consume 1165
more, and when the president leaves
New Orleans November l he viii be
within striking distance of h me, being
scheduled to arrive in Washington the
night of November 10.
In reality, however, the presidents
travels for 1909 will not end until No
vember q, for he has engagements at
MiddletoWn, Conn.,, November 12; at
New Haven. November 10; at Norfolk,
va, november ", ana at hampton,
Va, November 20.
Mr.. Tafts voice this morning had
shown no improvement over yesterday,
and after he had made a few short ad-
dresses in Texas and Arkansas it was
almost completely gone.
The presidents physician is at work
on the executives vocal chords in the
hope of having them in some sort of
shape for the auditorium speech in st.
Louis tomorrow Little hope of per-
manent improvement short of three or
four days is held out.
The presidents train developed full
fiedged mystery today Railroad detec-
tives, special police and secret service
men to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Somebody stole the presidents possum.
1t happened at Dallas, where it
seemed as though there were at least
million policemen, special officers, plain
clothes men, deputies and militiamen
on guard, and the authorities there this
morning We're inclined to charge 1t up
as another "black hand" outrage.
Through some psychological phen-
omenon. the presidents desires and the
loss at Dallas Travelled ahead of his
train, and when it arrived at Long View
at noon another possum, all dressed for
cooking, was put aboard.
Consequently Mr.. Tafts possum din
ner was not postponed.
The president left Dallas at o'clock
this morning and arrived in Little Rock
shortly after o'clock He left for st. |
Louis ten minutes later.
