NC FEAR FOR THOSE
CAUGHT In RAID

Narragansett Pier, August 15-The
fears of more than score of men and
women who were caught in the raid
on the rragansett club a week ago
that they would have to appear in court
next Monday as witnesses were dispell-
ed today when Judge Nathan h. Lewis
advised Constable John e. Cross. the
young leader of the raiders, not to
summon witnesses for that date. The
crusade against gambling was brought
before the courts today for the second
time when VIM. e. Arnold, who is
charged with maintaining a gambling
nuisance reiterated his plea of not gull
ty and filed demurrer to the COM
plant.
Judge Lewis said that arguments on
the demurrer would be held next Mon
day. At that time If the demurrer is
upheld by the court the warrant
against Arnold will be quashed and
the well known society people who
have been living in fear of having their
names made public probably will have
no cause to appear in court. If the
demurrer is thrown out an assignment
will be made for the trial of the case.

ALSOP CONTROVERSY

Washington, August 15.-Presenta-
ton to the arbitrator, King George OF
Great Britain, of the Chilian side of the
Alsop controversy between the United
States and Chile has been completed
Copies of the counter brief of the
CHILEAN agent were received today by

tives of this government will be given

of this claim is a loan which Alsop &
Co., made to Bolivia. The loan amount
ed to 100000 In 1876 Bolivia ac.
knowledged the debt and agreed to pay
it by turning over to the claimant thu
customs receipts of the port of africa
The next year, however, Chile, during
a war with Bolivia and Peru seized thu
africa customs house and after peace
was restored retained control of tha
town. The United States thereupon de.

HITCHCOCK'S PLAN
FOR POSTAL BANKS

Washington, August 15.-7Postmaster
General Hitchcock today received re-
port from the commission on organization
of the postal savings bank system in
favor of the use of certificates of de-
posits instead of pass books, as previ-
ously decided upon by the committee In
framing its tentative plan. The system
proposed contemplates mechanical
method for keeping the records of postal
savings banks, which would render I'M
necessary a great part of the boolxkeep-
ing that would be involved in the pass
book system.
Under this plan every depositor OF
amounts of from 81 to 8 would be given
a certificate punched in duplicate to
show the amount of deposit. He will
be required to sign this certificate in
dun3icate. the postmaster retaining one
of the certificates. On the back OF this
evidence of the deposit will be engraved
interest computations, showing exactly
the amount of interest due at the end
of any interest period. For sums or sl0,
500 and $50 there will be separate GER
tificates. also in duplicate. These certifi-
Gates will constitute the records of the
postmasters.
Mr. Hitchcock today approved the form
and engraving of a stamp OF deposit Tor
amounts of less than 81. This stamp,
representing 10 cents in value, is artistic
and is printed in chrome orange.

my CDR. Carter says as to shifting of
| population, ETC.:
This is not quite so illogical as the
| first reason assigned but 1t is so shallow
as to make it almost equally ridiculous
| Populations do not shift aimlessly and
without reason. They shift in response to
opportunities and the demand for labor.
! The rapidly increasing demand for city
! made goods automobiles for example, re-
quires more men to work in the factories
which supply them. Thus, the buyer of
automobiles and the buyer of food prod
uets are bidding against each other. A
demand for automobiles IS a demand for
labor and capital to make them. The la
Dor and capital which make automobiles
must be withdrawn from other occupa-
tons, including farming. The buyer of
farm products must pay enough for them
to enable the farmer to pay wages high
enough to keep some of that labor on
the farm, otherwise it will migrate to the
cities and enter the shops. Instead, there
fore. of attributing the rise in the value
of farm products to the migration of Ia
borers from the farms to the shops, it
ought to be attributed to the rapidly IN
| creasng demand for men in the city
shops. which induces men to migrate
thither."
We think in addition to this, farmers
are many times induced by other causes
to migrate to the cities, as, for example,
better social. school, and church privi-
| leges and prefer to sacrifice something OF
independence, health, and comfort for
these.
Yet 1t is shown that we were producing
more and exporting fewer farm products
in 1909 than in 1900 The shifting of pop
ulation from the farms to consuming To-
calities seems to have increased the pro-
duction of our crops.
1t further appears in statistics furnished
by the agricultural department that In
1860 the total acreage in corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley and potatoes was l6o-
1000, and that in the same crop for
1909 it was 90, 10000 acres. an increase of
25 per cent. so that the shifting to food
consuming localities appears to have
brought into cultivation In these crops
over 10000 900 acres of land in nine years.
1t must also be noticed that In the hear
ings before the committee it was shown
that the wages paid farm laborers had
increased 90 per cent. and nothing APP
preaching this is anywhere shown in re-
gard to the laborers in the protected in
dustries. The farmer seems to be more
generous in sharing his profits.

his friends at the primaries as candi-

Instead you will see the best dressed
minstrel parade you have ever seen on

material, built by the best tailors in the
land. And the department Of these
talented colored boys is always a sub
ject of comment in every city they
visit and that includes all the princi-
pal ones from Maine to California.
The performance given by this COM
pany. unlike many given by their
white competitors, is strictly clean and
refined. Not a suggestive word, song,
joke or action finds a place in their
program.
This motto of cleanliness is doubtless
the keynote Of their success. for they
are packing the theatres throughout the
country.
There will be a big free street parade

Defeated
In Baseball Game of the 9Th Glen
Ullin Proves Too Much for
Locals. Nelson is a :
Wonder. L

The local baseball team was treated
to a defeat Sunday by the Glen Ullin
stars in what was undoubtedly one Of
the fastest games ever played OF the
home diamond. The supporters of both
teams were in their elements most Of
the time. and indeed they had reason
to be, for in every inning was good
baseball played. ..------@
Probably the best featuTe..of the game
was the pitching Of Glen Ullin's player.
Nelson. He gave a splendid exhi6I:
tion Of clever box. work and o1r players
could not always 6nd bis curves. e There
was plenty of hits but a good many
were grounders or infelders that were
eobbled up before. the hitter could
even get started. Several times the
boys worked their way around to third
base by hard labor and superior foot
work but the inability of the locals to
hit at these times was the principal
cause of defeat.
Some spectacular plays were made,
however. Dorfler, of the locals. made a
clever hit when he drove the ball into
the center garden for a three-baeeer.
The locals worked hard and never once
gave up hope of the victory. The de-
cisions were fair all the way through
and the spectators were practically
unanimous in declaring that it was as
clean a game of baseball as ever was
played.
The locals take their defeat like the
men they are, not like the men Rich
ardton accuses them of being. and only
hope that they will be able TO defeat
this team before the season is over.
They are giving compliments for the
Glen Ullin boys. both as to their ability
to play ball and as being first-c]ass
fellows all around.
Glen Ullin has defeated the Richard
ton aggregation at two games this
season and has yet to be defeated.
