CHURCH SOCIETIES TO MERGE
Millions of Young People Form Com
bination to Fight Liquor Traffic
and Other Evils.

Chicago, Illinois.-A plan to merge
all the young peoples church So
cieties in the United States and Can
ada as a force to fight the liquor
traffic, the social evil and dishon-
esty in public life was effected at a
meeting of an organization known as
Americas Young People," in session
here. The chief means by which
these reforms are to be effected
is through a campaign to induce
young men to enter local politics.
Each of these church societies will
retain it's separate organization and
merge only for the set purpose.
There are 100000 young people
enrolled in the various church So
cieties in Canada and the United
States" said Chairman H. S. Warner,
constituting a tremendous force,
which can be organized and set to
work and do much to elevate citizen
ship and public morals

PREACHER FAvORS POOL HALL
Pastor of Church Challenges Mayor
to Debate Question In
Public.

Olathe, Kansas.-Olathe pool hall
fight grows warmer A minister has
taken up the cause Of the pool hall
in question and, in doing so, opposes
the city's mayor, Charles w. Gorsuch.
In an open letter to the mayor,
Rev. w. A. Gardner, pastor of the
Christian church, issued a challenge
to Gorsuch to a debate on the pro-
priety of allowing the hall operated
by an amusement company to re-
main open. Mayor Gorsuch accepted
and the debate probably will be held
next week.
The pool hall fight has been the
burning question in Olathe since the
election of Mayor Gorsuch last spring,
and even before that. Gorsuch de-
clared in his campaign speeches that
he would close every pool hall in the
town and the fight has been waged
bitterly since.

SPE ;UlAT0R'S LOSS HEAVY
CHICAGO GRAIN GAMBLER DROPS
$3,500,000 IN WHEAT.
Government Investigation Frlghtens
Big Manlpulators-Smaller
Firms Failing.

Chicago, Illinois.-Three and halt
million dollars is given as an esti-
mate of the amount lost by Adolph
]. Lichtstern, as the result of his
struggle to get out from under the
heavy load of wheat he took on in the
May corner"
The big spectators are frightened
by the federal investigation of the
corner. While no one was able to
say exactly what the speculator paid
for the wheat 1t was generally be-
lieved the average price was near
$1.04. Added to that was 8 cents a
bushel he was compelled to pay for
storage, at the rate of " cents
bushel per month, since that time.
The price he secured when he sold
his holdings was also kept secret but
safe brokers say they believed it to
be about "a cents, making a loss OF
10 cents bushel on Appropriately
100000 bushels.
Lichstern led a rush on the i'm
portant longs to rid themselves OF
their holdings, but the stability Of
the board prevented any serious con-
sequences. The Spectator and the
others who unloaded worked as care
fully as possible and as result the
bottom did not drop out of the mar
ket, although there had been a dan
gerous sagging for days.
The financial difficulties Of the
small traders, too, had been antici-
pated and created but little disturb
ance in the pit. 1t had been common
rumor that certain firms were on the
verge of being forced to close out
their trades and while it added to the
general unrest the news that the fail
ures had taken place did not cause
any panic.
