SOCIETY IN A STEW.
Officer Trees Gamblers and They Have
Him Scared.

Narragansett Pier, r. l., Aug. S.
There is CONSERVATION tonight in the
| higher society circles of this fash
ionable summer resort because of the
fear that John G. Cross, the constable
who conducted the gambling raid at
| the Narragansett Pier club Sunday,
may make public the names Of the
men and women prominent in society
who were on the premises at the time.
Matrons, personally or through ennis
SarieS, have besought the officer all
| day not to give out their names. Con-
stable Cross so far has complied but,
he says, not because the women asked
| it.
ITO publish these names would
| give pain and cause unnecessary en-
barrassment," he said tonight, "but if
these people appear in court in
| answer to the summons which have
been served it will then be impossible
To keep their names from the public
and cause a good deal of surprise
when it is learned that prominent men
and women are concerned and they
will have a lot of embarrassing ques-
tions to answer"
Constable Cross said tonight he was
being followed by detectives, who he
believed, are employees of the society
| people, and he is almost in fear Of his
| life. Although he succeeded in secur-
| ing his release when arraigned in
court today to answer to an assault
charge, it was on technicality only
and he is patiently awaiting the next
move against him.
There were upwards of thirty So
ciety women i'm the crowd gathered
about the roulette wheels and other
games of chance that it is asserted
were in progress in the club houses
| at the time of the action. Many of
| them, the constable claims, went to
the club for lunch after a hop, and
| the majority were gathered about the
game when he entered
RumOrs of possible arrests in the
case were current tonight and kept
the Pier alive with interest.
1t became known tonight that Will
liam Ivens of New York, Brander
Matthews, and Mrs. r. G. Dunn of
New York, were among the persons
who were behind the raid of the clubs
Mr.. Ivens said i'm a statement tonight:
THE town is i'm the throeS of a
gambling epidemic which has envel-
oped rich and poor alike. The major
| ity of the people who visited the swell
| club were not summer residents of
INarragansett and Narragansett Pier,
| but were members of automobile par
ties from New York and elsewhere
and while they gambled at the high
toned places. their chauffeurs went to
five other places which are known to
exist and lost their money.
This epidemic of gambling has
entirely changed the character of the
town. Property has deprecated in
value from % to so per cent and
the voting population mas fallen off
20 per cent, all because of the gamb-
| ling"

An Incident of 1898.

In view of the timeliness of such
information just now, we have heer
taking the trouble to look up the rec
ord of the campaign of 1898, in which
Mr.. c. G.. Feathcrstone came within
about four thousand five hundred votes
of being elected governor, and we have
come across some facts that are wei
worth the consideration of those who
were too young to appreciate them al
the time of their occurrence or who
may have forgotten them.
The candidates that year were: w

Tillman. r. L. Archer, G. Walt Whit

In the issue of The Enquirer for Au-

Maxine Votes For Evans

Making Votes For Evans.-Barnard
b. Evans, candidate for attorney gen
cral against Fraser Lyon. was arrested
in Columbia Sunday on a charge ot
having secured board from a local ho-
tel on false prctenscs. There was a
difference between him and the pro-
prictur as to whether he was to pay
for all meals during the month, or only
those which he attended. He paid for
the meals he attended, and refused to
pay for the others. The proprietor had
him arrested and he gave a cash bond
for his appearance at the trial, which
was fixed for August %. the day before
the primary. AT the instance Of Mr.
Lyon. also State Chairman Jones gave
out a statement To the effect that F.V-
ans paid his campaign assessment of
$40 with check, which was not good
when presented; but which was made
good Immediately aftcrward.

WITH most politicians party organi-
Zation is looked upon as a means OF
governing the people. If the organiza-
ton stands for a thing they figure 1t
is all right because the people could
not help themselves. We have no
doubt that Cooper murdered Carmack
in the belief that having control Of the
party organization, he could defy the
law. We think that Patterson par
doned Cooper along the same idea.
But the pardon of Cooper was really a
more contemplate and cowardly
crime than was the murder of Car
mack. No wonder the people of Ten
nessee have been aroused.
