RICH LAND OWNERS
ARE MUCH ALARMED
Over Threat to Publish the
Names of New York Own
ers of Resorts.
(National News ASSociation)

| NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Rich land
! owners whose properties lie in the
| tenderloin, were in a panic today over
the threat of Police Commissioner
Waldo to make public list of gamb-
ling houses, together with a list of
the owners of the buildings.
Later in the week he said he would
probably publish list of disorderly
houses. He tried to bave, both lists
ready at the same time but there has
been a great deal of work verifying
the data. Appeals have been made to
Mayor Gaynor to head off Commission
er Waldo.
According to police headquarters
Commissioner Waldo has taken pains
to acquire the history of each resort,
showing that after being raided the
places were invariably reopened. Mr..
Waldo designed by this to show that
the owners must of necessity have
known the character of the business
carried on within their property.
One Church Affected.
The proposed publication of owners
of disorderly houses reused more of
commotion than that of gambling de-
tails. Many of the disreputable places
are owned by persons whose reputa-
tons are above reproach. Trinity cor
poration, a company controlling pro-
perties owned by Trinity church and
William Waldorf Aston, are holders of
considerable property which is in
cluded in the district which District
Attorney Whitman wants to ask a few
questions about.
There is possibility that owners
or lawyers representing land holding
corporations or estates will be called
before the grand jury next month to
explain why they allowed law viola
tions.

WORKED ON SUNDAY
Did Many of the Farmers in
This County.

The farmers Of Wayne county did
not cease working n their fields Sun.
day to save their crops. The warm,
dry weather dried out the oats and
wheat, and in many parts of the coun-
ty the day was spent thrashing. While
much damage has been done to the
crops through the rains, farmers take
a hopeful view of the situation and
believe the damage will not be as
great as feared. The continued wet
weather has caused the grain to rot
and it was beginning to sprout in the
shock
In Henry county the farmers went to
the prosecuting attorney and asked
permission to work on Sunday. 1t was
granted and the farmers thrashed as
long as there was sufficient light to
enable the machines to be fed.

Quaint Witch Charm is Discovered

| ly extinguished and it did cease
he was granted pardon and released
| from prison.
A translation of the text of the
charm follows:
Welcome to thee, fiery guest. Dc
not grasp more than thou hast
forbid thee this in the name of God
the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost.
Il command thee by the power OF
God, which doeth and createth all
that thou standest still and doest not
not proceed, as truly as Christ stood
in Jordan when John, the holy man
baptized him.
This l command thee in name OF
the Holy Trinity.
81 command thee fire, by the power
of God, subdue thy flames, as truly
as Mary preserved her virginity above
all women, which she kept pure, and
therefore, fire, cease thy ravages.
This 1 command thee in the name
of the Holy Trinity.
Il command thee, fire, cease thy con-
fiagration by Christ's dear blood, which
he shed for our sins and transgres-
sions.
This l command thee in the name
of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Jesus Nazerene, king of the Jews,
save us from this fire and preserve
this land and it's confines from sick
ness and pestilence."
The publisher adds: "He who has
this charm in his house or in his peck
ct will be preserved from death by
fire and lightning. He who carries
this with him or has it in his house
will be secure against sickness and
pestilence."
The supernatural power which this
charm was supposed to contain if
kept in the home or carried on the
person induced many peasants to buy
it. 1t is believed that one of the early
owners of the Bible purchased the
charm, and in superstitious belief
placed it in the old book.
If it is remembered that the last
execution in Europe for sorcery took
place in 1882, the prevalence of the
belief in the efficacy of charms can
readily be understood.

The days when persons still believ
ed in the magic power of charms anc
spells, when superstition still en-
thralled thousands, and witches were
supposed to cure diseases and avert
sickness and evil, is wildly recalled
by quaint parchment discovered in
an old German Bible recently submit
ted to local minister by Ed Fulle, OF
Liberty avenue, who bought the Bible
as curiosity.
In looking through the old book
the pastor came across the old parch
ment, engrossed with old German type
and containing a magical charm that
was supposed to ward off fire and
pestilence from the person who car.
ried or kept in his domicile the magic
paragraph.
The parchment is yellow with age
but in an excellent state of preserva-
ton. The type of the printing is in
large letters and the German style of
the kind used in the first quarter of
the eighteenth century.
The charm was first printed in
Koenigsberg, Prussia, by Alexander
Bauman. 1t had a tremendous sale
and the printer who catered to the
superstition of the German peasants
made money fast in the disposal of
the scroll that was supposed to be
preventative against the ravages of
fire and pestilence.
The publisher asserts in the intro
duction that the royal Prussian gov
eminent ind the general superintend-
ent at Koenigsberg declared the Incl

incarnation successfully as an actual
event.
