PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE question OF
gambling in the casinos of French
watering places has of late seriously
preoccupied the government. Now ii
has been suggested that the state
would do well to look nearer home.
In Paris itself during the last decade
there has been steady increase in the
number of 'tripots" or gambling hells.
An eX-official of the prefecture of po-
lice has furnished a French journal
with much interesting and disquieting
information on the subject, informa-
| ton which his late position enabled
him to acquire at first hand Accord
ng to him the gambling establishments
of Paris fall readily into three classes.
First there is the accredited "cercle"
or club in which certain amount of
decorous gambling goes on. Then
there is a second class where "the
plays the thing" Still the legal for
malities are observed, and as a gen
eral thing the gambler gets a fair run
for his money
With the third category, that of the
"tripots," one drops into strange and
very shady underworld, for the tripot
opens its catholic doors to both sexes
and all classes. The hero and his valet, |
the banker and his clerk, jostle one |
another. Thousand-franc notes and s.
franc pieces rest democratically on the |
same green rectangle, and the worst of
it all is, the play is not straight. The
criupier in the tripot is as light
fingered as Autolycus and creature of
the proprietor of the establishment,
who remains in the shadowy back
ground.
No Attempt at COncealment.
One must not run away with the idea
hat the tripot itself is modest and re-
firing. 1t flames it's blaring chande-

GAMBLING is GROWING
IN FRENCH REPUBLIC

/ Heres in the boulevards and the vicin-
ity of the Etoile. This is the extraordi-
nary thing about 1.-THE entire lack OF
,reticence and the ordinary precautions.
The tripots are fiagrantly illegal and
from time to time are raided in a per-
functory way. but the fines and SEN
fences imposed are ludicrously made
quate as deterrents Hardly do the
police leave the raided rooms than the
gambling begins afresh with duplicate
apparatus, kept in reserve. The rather
unpleasant suspicion imposes itself
that the tripot, to enjoy such brazen
immunity, must possess some subter-
ranean and powerful backing.

MARKETING FARM CROPS

Secretary Wilson is DESTROYS of hav-
ing a division of markets established
in the Department of Agriculture
This is for the purpose of aiding
farmers to market their crops to bet
ter advantage. The record OF what
the department has accomplished in
the matter of improving the crops
and the methods of cultivation during
the past three administrations IN
which Mr.. Wilson has been at the
head of the department reads almost
like a fairy tale. The world has
been searched for new cereals, Vege-
tables, animals and fruits. Extern
sive experiments have been carried
on in all the features OF farming,
orcharding and stock raising. Edu-
cation has been the watchword. Due
to the work of the department, sup
plemented by the various state de-
partments and agricultural colleges,
the value of farm products has more
than doubled in that time, this year
reaching the enormous total of $10,-
100000, O00
Having done so much and organ
lied so complete a system OF aid to
better farming, Secretary Wilson now
wants to give the farmer greater re-
turns for his labor by improving his

President of the Steel Trust
Gives Interesting Testimony

spite of the fact that we were very
busy. we delivered it on Tuesday next,
Sc hours before the high waters ar
rived. We always give preference to
government work.
The cost of production of steel was
greater in America than in European
countries, Mr.. Farrell testified. He
said the wages paid abroad were 81 per
cent to 5S per cent less than here,
freight rates were lower and shipping
facilities for export trade were better.
Pig iron could be manufactured in
India and laid down in Calcutta at
$5.sS ton, he added and there was
now under way in a sailing vessel
from that port to San Francisco the
first cargo of Indian pig iron ever
brought to this country. The freight
was $3.50 a ton and under the new
duty the tariff IL cents. Thus the pig
iron would he laid down in San Fran
cisco at a cost of about $11.50. Chinese
pig iron could be laid down in San
Francisco for s10.7S. The present
market price for pig iron on the Pacific
coast is $21.50.

Missing Verses
New [ estament
Are Discovered
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, May 13.-Some long miss
ing verses of the New Testament are
included in manuscripts of the Cos
pels discovered in Egypt six years ago
and purchased ysCharles L. Freer, of
Detroit. Mich, according to a study
made Of the Freer manuscripts by the
Times. A fac simile of the writings
has been presented to the British
museum by the University of Michigan n
to which Mr.. Freer assigned the task
of publication and according to the
Times study. there has been found in
the gospel of St. Mark several verses
which occur in no other known manu-
script of the New Testament, although
they were known to st. Jerome who
quotes part of them.
In the F'reer manuscript after the
passage in which it is said that
Jesus upbraided His disciples for their
unbelief, the text continues as fol-
lows:
And they excused themselves, say
ing that this age of lawlessness and
unbelief is under Satan, who through
the agency of unclean spirits sufferers
not the true power of God to be ap-
pretended.
For because, said they unto Christ.
reveal now at once Thy righteousness.
And Christ said unto them, the
limit of the years of the powers of
Santan is (not) fulfilled, but it draw
eth near. (The text here and else
where is corrupt)
For the sake of those that have
sinned was I given up unto death, that
they may return unto the truth and
sin no more. but may inherit the spir-
itual and incorruptible glory of right
eousness in heaven
A large number of variations in
other portions of the New Testament
are also pointed out by the Times in
the Freer manuscripts.
