DO BUSINESS MEN MAKE
INTERESTING HUSBANDS?

men let them believe they are doing
what they ask. and make fools CT
them.
"A lawyer should make an interest

sees SO much. Another interesting
husband should be a naval officer
Think how far he travels and how
much he sees! After having been
away on three years cruise naval
officer certainly should have had
enough experience to make himself
interesting to the most critical wife.
It this point 1t was suggested to
Mrs. Preston that both the newspaper

able that her husband should pass
much time with her? In the case of
the naval officers, their wives could
travel on board steamships along the

port. Would not such reunions be
sufficient?

must be admitted that most of them
are terribly moth eaten. Neverthe-

much, but this is not to be regretted. y

ENGLAND IN GRASP OF GAMBLING
FEVER.
All Classes of Both Men and Women
Are Plunaing Their Money and
waues IN thA P,cee

All Classes of Both Men and Women
Are PIunaing Their Money and
Wages on the Races.
The spread of gambling among the
English people, both men and women,
is causing serious and growing CON
Germ. No measures yet have been de
vised to stop the habit, which rapidly
is becoming more and more OF a men
ace.
OF all big races practically every
body, from the newsboy on the street
to the peer in his motor, has some
thing on his faYorite horse. and even
on the everyday race an immense
amount in the aggregate is wagered.
Latterly it. has been disclosed that
women working in offices and restau-
rants In the city have become inyeter
ate gamblers as the men and boys
Nowadays both men and women, dur
ing the afternoon hours, are distract
ed from their work by their anxiety
over the results of the races, and EN-
ployers complain in vain
The house Of commons, with a view
OF curbing this increase in the betting
habit, passed a law prohibiting COM
mission agents from accepting money
on bet, but this was easily evaded
by the agents carrying wagers on a
credit system. settling once week.
AS the system works today any boy
with shilling to bet on horse can
go to almost any newspaper and get
his money down.
Another measure to overcome this
condition was met by opposition from
the workingman, who claimed for him
self the same privileges and opportuni-
ties accorded his wealthy neighbor,
who can wager as freely as he likes by
either going to the track or telephon.
ing his commission agent.
The complaint is made also that
gambling is spelling golf. At most of
the big clubs today members will not
play unless assured of a good side bet
on the result. It started with half a
dollar a round. but at some clubs a
game is seldom played for less than
s25, $50 or even 500 round

LANE CASE BEING TRIED.
Hard Fight Being Made on Both
Sides Some Of the Testimony
in Case.

There was a long delay Wednes-
day afternoon in the trial of the
Jack Lane case, due to the sldder
illness Of Stenographer C. B. Firth,
so that the taking of testimony had
to be suspended until Thursday
morning.
| Due to the fact that The Leader
published a great deal of testimony
given at the preliminary hearing
of Lane, only portions of evidence
especially pertinent to the case are
given below:
The case of the State was con.
cluded at $3.50 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon, after the examination oi
ten witnesses. The States testi.
mony showsd that Lane went to .

haven. where he entered, at the
time firing at Mack Ward, the de-
ceased. Two State witnesses said
Ward was not doing or attempting
to do anything to Lane when the
shooting began. Lock Byrne was n
the room with Ward when Lane
came and opened fire without say
ing a word. Overton Kennedy was
in the hall just outside the room
and saw Lane go to the room where
Ward was and opening the door,
began shooting at Ward. After
the killing Lane came out of the
room onto the upstairs porch and
approaching Byrne, who had run
from the room through the door
behind Lane, and pointing his pis-
tol close to Byrne's body, said, IF
l had another cartridge I'D kill
you, too. !"
The room in which the homicide
occurred was rented on Friday
night by Roy Nelson and again
Saturday afternoon for another
night. Ward, on the day of the
tragedy had been riding over town
with Nelson and Emma Broom.
who is now Mrs. H. B. Jennings.
Ward was drinking moderately and
had purchased a 80 Smith & Wesson
revolver. The State showed by
several witnesses. who were on the
street near by at the time of the
shooting, that there were four shots
in rapid succession and then little
later two other shots were louder
and from 38-calibre pistol, and
the other two shots were from a
32-calibre revolver. Wards pistol
was found lying on the floor after
the shooting with two cartridges
empty. The purpose of the State
was to show that after Lane had
shot at Ward four times then Ward
shot twice. one shot taking effect
in Lanes thigh.
