OOUDREY WAS CONVICTED
OF MAIL FRAUD.
Jury Was Out Twenty-FOur Hours
Before They Could Agree. i

st. Louis, April 5.-Harry nj.
Coudrey, ex-repre'entaHve, and
Harry B. Gardner were found guilty
in the federal district court late yes
terday of using the mails to defrand'
The verdict Of the jury was reach
ed after twenty-four hours deliber-
alton, and when attorneys were pre-
dieting that the jury would not be
able to agree. ~
AS soon as the verdict Of guilt on
all seven counts Of the Indictment
had been announced, attorneys for
the defense asked that sentence be
deferred and that the prisoners be
allowed their liberty on their pres
ent bonds. The request was denied
by Presiding Judge Dyer, who said
that to secure a writ of supersedeas
formal bill of exceptions must be
filed. The prisoners then were re-
manded to the custody of the United
States marshal.
COudrey ana GArdner were cnarg-
ed with using the mails to defraud
in the promotion Of what came to
be known as the twin insurance
Continental Life As
surance Company of America and
the International Fire Assurance
Of America. Both compan-
les went into the hands of receiv-

MUST STAND TRIAL.


Los Angeles, Times: Grant G..
Gillette, Thomas M. Montgomery
John Montgomery, Jr., Edison France
and w. ]. Batchelder, charged with
using the mails to defraud in con.
nection with the operations of the
Cleveland Oil company. must stand
trial for their alleged offense.
Judge Rudkin yesterday overrul-
ed the demurrers to the conspiracy
Indictment interposed in behalf of
Gillette and the two Montgomerys.
Gurny Newlin, representing Batch
elder, took no part in the prepare
ton or argument of the demurrer.
France was not represented by an
attorney. Gillette and the two Mont
gomerys pleaded not guilty to the
indictment following the ruling.
In passing on the indictment Judge
Rudkin said the only point worthy
of consideration was whether 1t had
been sufficiently charged when the
alleged conspiracy was entered into
in 1909, that It was intended to use
the mails in the alleged scheme to-
defraud. The court said that while
1t was not specifically set out in
the instrument that such was the
case, it was referred to in several
places and sufficiently on the point
under the liberal construction that
has recently obtained in the courts.
This particular pert of the in
iictment was taken from a similar
document that passed muster in the
United States supreme court some
months ago. In 1t conspiracy was
charged and proven in xhe case
brought against C. C. Wilson, the
telegraph stock manipula-
or, which resulted in his conviction

It Atlanta.
An effort was made by Assistant
District Attorney Regan to have the
rial Of the complaint against the
ccused set for an early date. How

vellborn, Jr., is one Of the attor-
eys for the Montgomerys and II

It was agreed that the date shall

Dayton, April 5.-Ten more I'M
ches of water in the Miami river will
give Dayton another flood. A ten
hour downpour together with clog
ged sewer intakes, flooded. many
streets here last night, Much ap-
prehension was felt In Riverdale
and Edgemont because Of the wash
ed condition of the levee and sol
diers assisted by citizens kept a con-
slant vigil. Reports from Piqua.
Bellefontaine, Troy and other places
north indicate an incessant rain OF
which Dayton will get the issue. 1t
was necessary today to dynamite q
number of rubbish piles SO that the
accumulation might float away.
Cairo, April 5.-Anxiety to pre-
vent the levee from breaking ON the
Ohio river side of Cairo led citizens
today to overlook temporary danger
from the Mississippi. The result was
that a force Of workmen had To
be rushed to the west levee as .
washout was threatened between
Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth.
High winds had caused the river
to cut into the bank to such an ex-
tent that danger was imminent. Sew
eral hundred bags Of sand were hur-
riedly carried from the Ohio river
levee. By the transfer, which was
made in automobiles further ero-
sion Of the bank was prevented for
the time.
The flood on the Mississippi side
is well below the levee top. Water
that has backed into the Caiche riv-
er at Mound City, Ill, has found
an outlet into the Mississippi and
has caused a slight rise in that riv-I
er. Arrangements being made by
Lieutenant Buckner, U. s. A., forl
the comfort and safety Of the peo-
pie went briskly ahead today.

Chicago Paper Pictures Saloon Conditions
in Some Parts Of City

On Monday, August rs, the Chicago Tribune gives
whole column to describe some of Chicago dive
saloons. People talk about license and regulation
whenever election is brought to Danish the sa-
LOOM Here's picture of how works out in Chicago.
According to this great paper disorderly charac-
tiers found in these saloons and immortality runs
riot They would be reproach to the most degraded
nation Yet good people will still argue that the
way deal with the saloon question is through license
and regulation If Chicago saloons sample of reg
uation will some tell us what irregulation is?
This horrible condition of things is not peculiar to
Chicago but prevails all the country in the wet
cities. If the license system is in dealing
with the saloon question: will please tell us
what it must be before it is proven to be failure.
This paper tells that the police handicapped
when they would enforce the law against these
worst places because of officials higher up 1t is al
ways when you try regulating the saloon evil.
Any man who not any evil in the saloon
of this country has amentaby defective moral vision.
1t is not surprising at all that the decent citizenship
rising up masse to wipe out the whole disgrace

Scarcely day goes by but the saloons of Chicago
are responsible for similar things. though occasion

who rather favors the saloon, is indifferent its

The saloon has reached such moral depths of depravy

institution everywhere it is wonder the liquor inter

community in these large cities the right decide for
themselves whether saloons shall be allowed in their

about home rule In reality they really the United
Societies against home rule. But it will not be many
