ATHLETES ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER SIGHTS OF SWEDEN
Americans on Olympic Team
Pleased With Beautiful
Country.
Special Cablegram to The Star.


STOCKHOLM, July 13.-The athletes
OF the American Olympic team are On
thusiastic over the sights they are seeing
in Sweden. Apart from the attractions
OF the Olympic games. Sweden is a per-
feet vacation ground. It may be roughly
divided into three sections-the forest
region to the north. with its glorious
pine woods and noble rivers; the noun
tain region to the northwest, embracing
Lapland with its midnight sun; and the
southern region. a land of lakes and
fields and smiling landscapes
The last named district is characterized
by fertile plains cultivated from almost
prehistoric times, but still embracing
wide expanses "unimpaired by any desc
Grating hand" Within it's borders lie
many of the principal towns-glorious
Stockholm itself: the famous seaport OF
Gothenburg; Malmo, next In Importance
Linkoping, with is grand cathedral, and
others claiming attention.
The travelling throughout the country
is very comfortable, the sightseeing
easily accomplished, the people most
courteous. and the accommodation good
and reasonable. English Is spoken nearly
everywhere.
During the months of JuHe, July and
August there Is scarcely any night, and
the grand light effects are a constant
source of delight and admiration, while
from the middle Of September to the end
or October there is perfect Indian sum-
mer.

Sparing the Rod
BY WALT MASON.

Its my humble opinion" remarked
the druggist. that Dave Tenterhook
should be given a coat of tar and feath-
ers as slight token of esteem. The
way he whips those boys of his is a
neighborhoed scandal. Last evening he
took buggy whip and larruped young
Ezekiel until the latter's bowls could
be heard all over the countryside. This
thing of whipping children is a relic
of barba rism"
Its nothing of the kind" objected
the village patriarch Solomon in
dorsed II. and Solomon was no barba-
rian. We are becoming altogether too
hne haired and finicky in such matters,
and 1t makes the blood stew in nv
veins 10 hear Dave Tenterhook abused
for exercising his prerogative as a
parent. If a father can't lam his own
offspring in his own yard without be-
ing criticised by his neighbors and the
public at large. then there is no sense
in being parent, and our twentieth
century civilization is a gold brick.
Such an episode the one you de
nounce would have attracted no atten-
ton whatever when / was a boy. for
the reason that all fathers followed
that plan. Every man kept a good
serviceable strap or a flexible piece of
birch or hickory in a convenient place.
and when his boys became Insurgents
he corrected them as boys should be
corrected My father was just and
righteous man and kind man withal
He never derived any real pleasure
from taking the hide from my person.
He told me so on several occasions. He
hated to WELD the hickory as much as
j hated TO have il welded. but he rec
ognized his duty in the premises and
when l violated any of the rules and
bylaws of the household he escorted
me to the woodshed and played a solo
on me.
u resented that sort OF recital at
the time, but in after years 1 realized
that my fathers plan was well founded
upon eternal justice and wisdom. My
esteemed sire had laid down certain
regulations for the government of his
household. When / violated any OF
them punishment was certain. My
father was inexorabie. I used to cook
up some of the finest excuses you ever
heard. but thsy wouldn't wash. The

Ho1O Detective Traps NY. Grafters
BURNS OPERATES A DEN

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-At least one
Of the gambling houses which William
j. Burns, the detective. opened to trap
the police Srafters is stin in operation.
For the benefit of the police graft"
collectors who have become terror
stricken by this development it is stat
ed that the house is located in Forty
NTH street, not far from Sixth avenue.

The Burns gambling house was open
last night and did good business. The
play was fairly good, despite the fact
that a great many patrons OF such
places fear being caught in a raid, and
since the Rosenthal murder have re-
Trained from gambling
The investigation of the system" by
Burns began about three months ago.
He started by determining what poll
ucians were the connecting link be-
tween the underworld and the polti-
clans holding higher Offices in the city.
Convinced that this was the only
method by which a thorough nvestiga-
ton could be made. he went to the
wealthy men who had offered to pay
the bill and explained that it would be
very expensive undertaking. The
answer was Spare no expense"
Starts Inquiry at the Metropole.
Careful study showed that a great
many politicians who acted as con-
Meeting links between the men high
up in office and well known sporting
characters dined frequently at the
Metropole hotel, in front of which
Rosenthal was murdered.
Burns decided to begin operations at
this point and trace the graft" and
alliance both downward and upward.
Hundreds Of people-the majority Of
them of eminent respectability-dine
daily in the Metropole. 1t was an i'm
possible undertaking to watch the place
and Shadow" the patrons until the
right ones were found, so Burns went
into the business of furnishing walters
to hotels.
Primarily, his object was to get at
least a few Of them into the Metropole.
To hide his efforts in this direction and
avert suspicion. he furnished walters
to all hotels in need Of them. 1t was
difficult to get detective walters into
the Metropole, but Burns did finally
succeed.
The success OF this plan is best told
by report by one of the waiter detec-
tives. 1t is said to run this way:
