Iceberas and Echoes.

Icebergs are always a source Of
worry to the Transatlantic steamship
shippers. It isn't pleasant to run along
through a fog or murky night and
smash into one Of these floating noun
tains of ice. The liner captains have a
way of finding ice that at first strikes
the landsman as curious. When 1t is
suspected there are bergs In the neigh
borhood the whistle is kept going. If
there is an echo the navigator slows
down and keeps sharp eye out, for
echoes don't grow in the open ocean.

he found any Photographic work SUI
perior to that done here for technical
excellence, artistic composition ana
in the lighting and proportions of the
pictures. Coming from so high an
authority as Mr.. Leache such a state
ment is naturally very pleasing to the
local artists. >

HOTEL GUESTS With
BAD CHECKS HELD
FOR SUPERIOR COURT

Declining to make a statement in
his own defence, w. J.. Taylor, alias
W. J. T. Willis, who recently COM
pleted a Jail sentence in Hartford for
bad check operations, was held for
trial in the Superior court by City
Court Judge Wilder today in connec-
tion with his passing a SIS check upon
the Atlantic Hotel a year ago.
William Cassen, who was clerk at
the hotel at the time of Willis visit,
was the only witness called, and his
testimony coupled with the worthless
checks placed in evidence, satisfied
Judge Wilder that the accused should
be held.

RADIATOR men STRIKE
BECAUSE THEY REFUSE
TO PAY The FREIGHT
Especial from / United Press. }

New Haven, Sept. 8.-Twenty-four
men in the assembling department Of
the local Mayor Radiator Company
are on strike, today, in protest against
a new rule that the men must pay
freight charges and cost of repair on
any automobile radiator that a custo-
mer returned as unsatisfactory. Form
erly the company employed an inspec-
tor to go over the radiators after they
had been assembled and the individu-
al men did not have to assume re-
sponsibility for inspection.
The strike started last Wednesday.
At the company's offices today it was
denied that there was strike. A
few men had been discharged, said
the officials. There has been no dis
order. The men are unorganized.

come the question of providing something
for the former employees of the great
business to do. Statements place the
number OF gambling houses in Canton in
recent years at 10000, employing at least
$1,000 men, and frequently by not less
than the same number OF professional
gamblers.
The viceroy's Introduction Is not con-
fined to the suppression OF licensed gam
bling. but covers private gambling as
well. and strenuous efforts are being
made to enforce the proclamation In all
its provisions.
Special deputies have been appointed to
watch the premises where gambling for
merly was carried on. to make known to
the authorities any attempt to reopen
them, and spies have been detailed to
visit the various ''yamens'' in Canton to
report all cases Of gambling among off,
cials.
The experience Of other governments In
their attempts to break up gambling
gives little hope that the Canton viceroy
will be successful in his present move
ment. "It should be recorded to his cred
1t, however,. the report says, In conclu-
sion. that by abolishing gambling he has
removed from his district the stigma OF
sanction OF the evil. and that
he is moving with all his resources against
private induigences therein"

soldier or sailor that offers the greatest
possible recompense to the aggrieved and
the best possible chance for the per-
petuation of the memory of the glori-
ously dead, for the remains of any
man who dies in the service, wherever
his end may come. are transported to any
other spot on the globe that may be
designated by his family and there given
burial with military honors. All this Is
at the expense of the government, for
the glory of the dead and the consolation
Of his family.
Finally, the government is marking the
graves and placing monuments over the
remains Of the Confederate soldiers who
died In northern prisons and hospitals
during the civil war.
Wherever any man dies for whom It
can be shown that he ever served in the
United States army or navy. the federal
government stands ready to furnish for
his grave headstone Of marble neatly in
military service. The government has a
large contract with a Arm In Massachu-
setts to furnish these headstcnes. Under
the contract 10000 such headstones were
delivered last year. An average OF 5000
q year have been so delivered for the
last score Of years. Since this policy
OF marking the graves Of the military
dead was inaugurated In 1873 there have
probably been 10000 stones that have
gone forth and which are today standing
over the graves OF men who once fought
for their country. The nation is willing
and anxious to continue this distribu-
tion OF monuments free Of charge, with
freight paid to any point. It is hoped
that eventually every grave OF every
soldier will be marked with a stone that
Will survive forever.

ticable.
The gambling question was before the
assembly in Canton in 1909, during its
last session, and on both occasions the
members gave the movement warm sup
port. In October. 1910. they requested
the acting viceroy to mem0rialize the
throne to set q date on which gambling
would be done away with, and when the
request was not acted upon the assembly
summarily adjourned.
This move had the desired effect. The
viceroy at once reported the matter to
the throne, by whom 1t was referred to
the board OF finance. The board replied
that date would be set when a SUBJ
stitute revenue had been found, where
upon the assembly resumed its sitting.

During the civil war there were great

prisoners and held in northern prisons.
Many OF these died in these prisons, and
many others, suffering from wounds and
disease. died in the hospitals OF the
Union forces. Two years ago the fed
