Rather Small Percentage, Though

Fourteen persons have either been
convicted or pleaded guilty and been
sentenced out OF 100 indicted in the
graft crusade which has been waged in
Pittsbug, Pa, for over year, according
to statement issued by the district
attorneys Office.
A total Of 1876 indictments and in
formations have been returned by seven
grand juries used in the investigations.
Included in the total number in
dicted, however, are many former
councilmen, who have confessed to re-
ceiving sums ranging from $81. 10 to
800, and who will probably be dealt
with later.
A bunch of grafters were sentenced
Saturday. A. A. Vilsack, former cash
er of the German Nantional Bank of
Pittsburg, received eight months in
Jail and $4,000 fine; Former Council
man DR.. w. H. Weber, six months
and $500 fine; P. B. Kearns, four
months and $3.50; Morris Einstein, six
months and $500, and former Coun-
cilmen Hugh Ferguson and Chas.
Stewart, eight months in Jail and $500
each. The latter have secured stay
of sentence and their appeal will be
argued October l. This makes the
third appeal filed since the anti-graft
crusade opened.

Only Seven Couples Happily Married

A French statistician claims to have
the exact figures Of the conjugal
felicity, or, rather, -infelicity, of his
countrymen.
Here is the result Of his inquiry con-
corning Paris: 1862 wives have left
their husbands to elope with another;
1911 husbands have left their wives to
look for others; APO married couples
have separated by mutual agreement;
1o1, 023 couples continue to live under
the same roof in a state of war; 1927
o20 married pairs cordially detest each
other, but conceal the fact from the
public; 510,1 live in state Of in
difference; 1902 couples have the rep
utation Of being happy. but are not;
135 married couples are happy, COM
pared with so many others who are un-
happy.
Finally, this wonderful statistician
says he knows of only seven couples
who are living together in welded
bliss.
The author of these curious figures
does not say what method he followed
in his inquiry and leaves the public in
the dark as to whether he himself is
married.

The state supreme court has con-

holds that grain shipments, when the
shipper is also the consignee, need not
be inspected under the state law. This
decision practically nullifes the grain
inspection law and will reduce to less
than half the amount of inspection and
the force of state inspectors. New
methods Of handling grain and con-
signing it are said to have made the
inspection unnecessary in most cases.

BEN LOMOND, May 23.-Frank
Gotch, champion wrestler of the world,
will join the Jeffries staff of trainers
not later than June 5, according to tel
egraphic advices received from the
wrestler today. Gotch wired that he
would start west Immediately after his
match with Zybzschko, and this should
land him at Ben Lomond not later than
the 5th. He will be the last of the ad-
ditions to the Jeffries training camp,
for Jim Corbett will precede him.
After .the strenuous Sunday expert
ence in camp Jeffries took life easy to-
day. Early in the day the trout fishing
lure became so strong that the big
fighter yielded and spent the day on
the beautiful San Lorenzo river The
only training indulged in was a spin
on the road late in the morning, but
shortly after Jeffries arose for the day.
Those who have been in the training
camp boosting for Graney for referee
have about given it up as a bad job. 1t
is now well understood by Jeffries and
his followers here that Tex Rickard in
