GIBBS BROS. ACQUITTED
Jury Held Them Not Guilty in Ross
Vile Fire Case.

Levi and George Gibbs, accused of
setting fire to the city hall at Ross
Vile, Kan, early in the morning of
December 10, last, are not guilty ac-
cording to the verdict of the jury that
heard the evidence against them. A
verdict of acquitta1 was brought in
about an hour after the jury retired.
Tinkham Veale, attorney for the
defense, charged in his address to the
jury, that the arrest of the Gibbs
brothers was a "frame-up' of w. NJ.
Cooper, who styles himself an "oper-
ative,' employed to ferret out the
mystery surrounding the fire. The
brothers were arrested on a complaint
sworn to by Cooper, but practically
the only evidence against them was
the testimony of Mrs. Levi Gibbs, wife
of one of the defendants, who declar-
ed she had heard the brothers utter
yelled threats against a Rossville mer-
camille firm, whose building was
among those destroyed tat
The fire cost Rossville between $780,
and $40, 900. 1t was Undoubtedly of
fncendiary origin, it is asserted. There
is no clue, however, to the perpetra-
tors since the Gibbs brothers have
been acquitted.

NOISELESS WORLD.
Harvard biologist Predicts Silence in
Modern Machinery.

Cambridge, Mass, April 22.-Har-
wards we'll known biologist, DR.. Clar-
ence J. Blake, today placed himself on
record as predicting a noiseless world
in the near future.
'HThe welfare work now being car
ried on, both indoors and outdoors, !"
he said, will in time be the greatest
factor in bringing about a noiselesS
world This age will not be a sound
less one, but will be practically a
noiseless one. Noise, at least, loud
and unpleasant noise, is needless and
the campaign now being conducted in
factories mills, mines and in our out

ium will soon show the best results.
Dealing in old rags and blowing
wind instruments, according to DR..
Blake, are potential causes of deaf

ARREST CATTLE HUSTLER.
Found Trying to Sell Four Carloads
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, April 22.-William E.
Lochner, "a years old, was arrested
upon information given to the police
by an inspector for live stock COM
mission firm who suspected Lochner
of trying to dispose of four carloads
of cattle that did not belong to him.
Tonight Lochner confessed, according
to the police, that the cattle, valued
at $1,000, were stolen.
In his alleged confession Lochner
said he had driven the cattle, 101
head, from a ranch in eastern Colo
RADIO to Brewster, Thomas county,
Kansas, from whence they were ship
ped to Kansas City.
When Lochner attempted to make
a deal for the sale of the stock it was
noticed that many of the animals
bore the brand of a well known cattle
concern.

BRAVO, GENEVA!
Swiss Hotel Keepers Will Rule Against
Tipping.

Geneva, April pa number of
Swiss hotels are going to experiment
next season with a view to suppressing
the tipping nuisance.
Five per cent of the total charges
will be added to the bill to cover ordi-
nary services, and guests will be freed
from running the gauntlet of porters,
walters. etc., on their departure. Wis
itors will be expected to give tips for
extraordinary services.
During the winter some hotels ex-
perimented with view to the total
suppression of tips by charging 10 per
cent on the bill, but the plain failed,
and it is general belief that the new
scheme will also fail

New York stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, April 22-STOCKS-
Some increase in outside business resulted
by yesterdays market. Room traders OPP
Grated more confidently the long side,
paying particular attention to stocks in
which the short interest appeared to be
vulnerable
Buying of the standard stocks influenced
speculative ventures and encouraged pool
activity in shares for which a wider dis
tribution is sought. Business din1iniShed
after the level of prices had been raised
half a point to a point and there was
some realizing by traders who argued the
upturn had been completed for the time
being.
Bonds were steady.
There was good demand for stocks at
the opening today and trading was broad
and active, practically every stock in
which there were transactions scored an
advance, although changes in most in
stances were comparatively small. The
largest gain was made by Beet Sugar
which rose q.
Sharp advances were achieved with the
exchange of little stock, the available sup
levels. More interest manifested in
some ordinarily neglected stocks, especial
ly Wisconsin, Central and Wheeling and
Lake Erie, which improved several points.
A drop in New Haven to 1925, new low
record, aroused comment.
When speculation flattened out the opin-
ion was expressed that a weak short in
terest having been forced to cover by the
rise of from to points from yesterdays
lowest technical conditions did not favor
a further advance. This assumption in
duced light selling and prices relapsed to
below where they left off yesterday.
Persistent liquidation of small lot of
New Haven had a disconserting effect on
sentiment and nullified the earlier in
fluence of favorable factors. New Haven
sagged to 1903, the lowest figure for thir-
ty years, compared with 1141s, yesterdays
close.

Coal Mines Are Safe Retreats Conn
pared With Danger Incurred In
Hunting the Yellow Metal
Our Death Rate In Metal Mines
Exceeded by Three Countries.

WASHINGTON. April 1O.-Con-
trary to general belief, mining for
gold, silver. copper and other metals
Is a more hazardous occupation in
the United States than digging coal.
With great disasters occurring at in
tervals in the coal mines and kill
Ing one hundred OF more men at a
time. the impression has prevailed
that no other branch OF the indus
try contained 20 much danger and
such high rate of fatalities, but
the United States bureau OF mines
comes forth with the statement
that the metal mines In 1911 killed
more than four men In every thou
sand employed. TO be exact, 40,
while the death rate In the coal
mines for the same year was 3.73
In every thousand men. The greater
proportion of deaths IN the metal
mines Il all the more striking when
Il u understood that In the metal
mines there u an entire absence
OF the gas and coal dust that cause
explosions In coal mines.
