JUST GETTING EVIDENCE
Enemies of Gambling at French
Lick Lying Low.
Gamblers and Sports Poke Fun at Re.
from Efforts, but May Get
"Jarred" Later On.

French Lick, Ind, May 24-The An
ti-Gambling League, organized here re-
Gently, is the butt and joke of the gam
blers of French Lick because, on it's
surface, it has accomplished nothing
toward putting out of business the
gambling sports who flock here from
all over the country. One of the pro-
moters of the league, however, says:
"Just wait till the chain of evidence we
are forming is complete. Then we'll
see who laughs"
The league has not made public it's
plan of campaign, but 1t is known
"spotters' have paid several visits to
AL Browns Monte Carlo" and have
seen enough to convince even wal
ley" grand jury that the laws of Indi-
ana are being violated constantly. Res
idents of the valley are not admitted
to the brilliantly lighted gambling
rooms, but on warm nights, when the
windows are open, it does not require
ocular evidence to know what is go
ing on.
Passers-by in the streets can hear
the click of the poker chips, the Whirl
of the roulette wheels, the cry keno"

Early Newspaper Ads.

Advertisements in newspapers. as
we know them today, were not gen.
eral till the beginning of the eight
eenth century. In fact. prior to that
time it was dangerous to attempt such
thing. For instance. there was a
penalty Of ESQ for advertising a re-
ward with mo questions to be asked"
for the return of the things stolen.
half Of which was paid by the adver-
tiser and half by the printer. In addi-
ton to this. there was a duty on adj
vertisements according to the number
Of lines, which amounted to anything
from few pennies to several shillings
per ad. This duty was not fairly abol-
ished in Great Britain until the year

Honesty Extraordinary.

A traveller writing in an Italian
magazine says that the Swiss canton
of Ticino is inhabited by the most hon.
est folk it is possible to imagine. In
most of the Ticinese villages. the
writer says. the oldest inhabitants do
not remember any case of thieving,
however petty. within lifetime. Lost
objects when found must never be
taken away; they must be left where
they were dropped or placed in a con-
spicuous position so that the rightful
owner can find his property more east
ly. The case is cited Of an American
woman tourist who lost her purse on
an excursion in the Val Capriasca.
The purse contained gold coin and a
jeweled watch. Upon returning from
her trip she found the purse with it's
contents intact on little heap Of
leaves. so placed that 1t could not fail
to attract her attention.-New York

PEARL HUNTERS HANGED
Four Naked Bodies Are Found
Swinging from Tree.
Kentucky Crime Mystery Grows Out
of Recent Discovery of Many
Valuable Gems.

Campton, KY, May 24.-Swinging in
the branches of a great tree in de
serted portion of Letcher county, the
nude bodies of four pearl hunters, who,
it is said, have found many valuable
pearls within the past week, were dis
covered.
1t is believed by the Letcher coun-
ty authorities that the men were
lynched by thieves. One of the bodies
was identified as that of J. w. King,
who found pearl few days ago val
ued at $1,000. The other three were
not identified, but they are said to
be from Oregon. They were attracted
by the large finds along the Kentucky
river at this point and came here to
seek pearls. No clothing or anything
about the four men was to be found
which would lead to their identified
ton.
Tales of rich finds have brought
many people here. Since the opening
of spring more valuable pearls have
been found along the river than in
several years and many men make
their living in this way.

There S No Place Like Home.

A keen observer of business conditions
is authority for the statement that
nearly every moderate sized town and
village in the central states actually
needs houses to quarter it's people. The
boom in far distant land schemes, now
on the wane, has taken money away
from home, the westerner investing in
the East and the easterner in the West.
There is lure about things distant
that the average man finds it hard to
resist. Distance lends enchantment."
No one can deny the wisdom of land
investments when the investor buys
land for home for cultivation and
actual development. But much of the
money placed in circulation by land
schemes during the last two or three
years has gone into property which the
buyer knew nothing about beyond what
he read in prospectus. This sort of
investment" as rule, is gone forever
and the experience is expensive.
Now that the land man has harvested
his crop it is time for every community
to get back to first principle, to develop
the home place, to build houses and
improve the farms and promote the
welfare of the community.
To do all this there will be no better
time than the present. Money is plenti-
full. Invested in home it can not get
away. Put into farm improvements it
will return dividends. Truly, there's
no place like home when it comes to
laying by safely the savings that are to
provide for rainy day. Every move
that tends to make the home community
better is a move in the right direction.

Success in hog raising is determined

and good judgment. When a farmer
decides to become a hog raiser he
should plan to stay permanently in the

1t was at a point near the ancient

landed in India when driven out Of
Persia by their Mohammedan conquer
ors eleven centuries ago. Few things
are more remarkable than the manner
in which this small community has re-
tanned its religion and racial charac-

period. The peculiar style Of head
dress worn by the Parsees is said to
have been made compulsory by the
Hindu king of India when the Parsees
first obtained refuge in that country.

day the ParSees are the leading COM

Arizona and New Mexico One
Step Nearer Admission.
ARIZONA RECALL NOT LIKED
Joint Resolution Provides that that
Provision of Constitution Shall
Again be Voted Upon
by People.

Washington, May PA joint reso-
luton admitting the territories of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico to statehood
was adopted by the house by a vote
of PA to 81.
The resolution itself was passed
without division, the record vote oc-
curing on motion by Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois, to recommit the
resolution to the territories commit
tee with instructions to report SUBJ
stitute providing for the immediate
admission of New Mexico under the
constitution approved by it's people,
and of Arizona upon the elimination
from it's constitution of the provision
for the ''recall of the Judiciary" Thir-
ty-three Republicans voted with the
Democrats against the Mann motion.
The resolution as passed, however,
proposes an amendment to the Ari-
IONA constitution providing that the
judiciary of the new state shall not
be subject to recall by popular vote.
This amendment is not mandatory
to the electors of Arizona for their
ratification or rejection at it's first gen.
eral election for state and county Of
ficerS.
If the majority of the electors ac-
cept the amendment the much dis
cussed judiciary recall provision will
be stricken from the constitution, but
if the amendment is turned down
Arizona may enter the nnion with its
recall provision without further action
by the house of representatives.
The house thus indirectly accepted
the recall proposition The only ad-
vantage gained by the opponents of
the recall of the judiciary is that the
people of Arizona will have an op-
portunity to vote upon the question.
President Taft and many other Of
ficials are hopeful that the result will
be favorable to the amendment, when
the matter goes before the people of
Arizona.
