WOMAN GAMBLERS
FOOL DETECTIVES

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The tempest in
a teapot, or rather, over the cups,
which was caused by a woman com
planning to the police department
that she had been fleeced in a poker
game in the home of woman on the
North Side, continues to rage.
Orders were sent out by Assistant
Chief of Police Schuettler to investi-
gate the houses where gambling was
said to be the habit. Saturday detec-
tives visited the homes of nine women
who were mentioned by the. inform
ant as having poker games in their
houses, but no gaming was discov-
cred.
Detectives who made the search
say there was lookout at one of the
houses who tipped off" the police
raid to the gamesters. When the de-
tectives entered the house they found
a number of women there. all OF
whom seemed to be much excited.

EDITOR ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER

STOCKTON, Cal, Nov. 6.-B. F.
Hardin, dairyman, was chosen late
this afternoon as the alternative juror
in the case of S. B. Axtell, former
editor of a Lodi paper who is ac-
cused of the murder of Charles Soil
ers, a prominent business man of that
city.
District Attorney E. P. Foltz, in his
opening statement to the jury, de-
clared that the prosecution expects to
prove that the murder was deliberate,
premediated, malicious, cold-blooded
and cowardly; that Axtell hunted for
Sellers about the streets the morning
of the shooting, and that he shot
Sellers in the back without a mo-
ment's warning.
The taking of evidence will COM
mepce tomorrow morning at ten
o'clock. The defense objected to the
thirteenth juror, claiming the selec-
ton was unconstitutional. Before Sc
curing the full jury 296 talesmen had
been examined.

PESTILENCE SUPPLEMENTS WAR
HORRORS IN TRIPOLI STREETS

instead of which they are cribbed in
narrow, unwholesome Aimits, with
forty-five cases of cholera as a daily
average.
The Daily Mirrors Tripoli dispatch,
dated Sunday, says changes have been
made in the command of the Italian
forces. General Frugones will take
supreme command, while General Can
eva will remain in command of the
town of Tripoi. An early advance
may be expected.
Shot in Their Homes.
MALTA, Nov. 5.-Steamer passen-
gers arriving from Tripoli describe the
situation there as a reign of terror.
Strong military patrols are continu-
ally conducting rigorous house-to-
house searches, and on the smallest
'pTetense summary punishment is
melted out Many victims have been
shot in their own houses.
, In the absence of any attempt to
discriminate between friend and foe
many foreigners have taken refuge in
their respective consulates.
An order forbidding anyone to be
out before o'clock in the morning OF
after o'clock in the evening has been
strictly enforced. The Italian soldiers
appear to have unlimited power, and
the passengers say, were shooting
down man, woman and child who dis
obeyed the order The passengers
also confirm the stories of the brutal
ity displayed by the Italians in their
treatment of the Arabs.

RAILWAY TRACK
SINKS TEN FEET

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. THE
Southern Pacific Company is again
having trouble with portion of it's
main track between Suisun and Benz
cia and as a result of its sinking ten
feet late Sunday night the traffic de-
partment of the railway was yester-
day obliged to detour all trains via
Niles and Stockton.
The sinking of the track is due to a
sort of quicksand formation beneath,
On several occasions in the past the
company went to considerable ex-
pense in building a crude rock base
for the track and it was believed there
would be no further trouble. The
high tide Sunday night, however,
swept water over the track for a dis
lance of half mile, softened the mud
again and before 10 o'clock the track
had sunk ten feet and was beneath
the water level.
Fortunately track walkers discov-
cred the condition of the rails and the
passenger and freight trains were at
once detoured via Stockton and Niles.
Yesterday morning a large force of
men was put at work near the scene
and this time the railway company
proposes establishing just as firm a
rock foundation for the rails and ties
as is possible.
1t is believed by company engineers
that the railway may be forced to
move the track some distance in be-
fore it will be assured of permanent
relief.

WHAT ARE CALIFORNIA WOMEN
GOING TO DO WITH THE BALLOT?

San Francisco Chronicle: The Asso-
citation of Collegiate Alumni held it's
regular meeting and luncheon yester-
day at Scottish Rite Hall, and at the
conclusion of the luncheon presented
John Graham. Brooks, professor of po-
litical economy at the University Of
California, as the speaker of the after
noon. Professor Brooks subject was:
What Next-Now You Have the Bal
lot, What Are You Going to Do With
IT," and his treatment was the pre-
sentation of the many problems Of
modern life to which the ballot may
be effectively applied. He spoke of
the ballot in England from lords
through business men to trades
unions, but said that the greatest
change wrought by it's extension was
when it was granted to women.
Concerning the meaning of politics,
Prof. Brooks gave the definition as n
getting together and making rules by
which we propose to live" And the
exclusion of women from the assem-
blage, he said, was grotesque in its
absurdity in view of the fact that
women must exist under the rules.
And inasmpch,' the speaker contin-
ued las educational sanitation and
social problems form structural part
of politics, and women have always
been deeply concerned in the interests
they represent, women are peculiarly
necessary to the complete adjustment
of political questions"
Speaking specifically of what women
are to do with the ballot, Professor
Brooks advised his audience to read
Jane Adams, study the problems she
had met and then apply the ballot to
their solution. Every other question
he said, might better be overlooked by
women than the matter of social set
Element. Consideration of all matters
involved in settlement work, he con
tinued was the most important politi
cal use to which women could put
their new honors, and to these he beg
ged that his audience never neglect tC
give their utmost attention. Regardins

WILL CARRIES
$4,000 A WORD

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.-Martin
Costello was a man of few words. In
his lifetime he said little and accom-
plished much. When, anticipating
death, he made his will, it was a
model of brevity He wrote it him
self, used no more than the necessary
amount of paper to contain the words,
and for every word he wrote he willed
away more than $4,000
Money gave him little trouble in his
lifetime, although he accumulated
over $3,OOO,OOO. When he made his
will his millions seemed to concern
him less, for, in just forty-fye words,
he passed it all over to his wife, May
M. Costello, without stipulation, with,
out entanglements, and appointed her
administrators to serve without bonds
The will is the most unique that
has ever been probated in this county
in that it bequeaths the most money
with the most brevity.
COstello's property, mostly mining
is in Arizona, where he started as g
prospector.
