II VAS greatly SURPRISED to fnd

a wong impression from reading the
papers, owing TO the bias OF politics,
aud when went east / expected to
fnd the situation not at its best. To
my surprise found everybody oph.
mistic and business proceeding with
an unprecedented rush and conf
d uce. The bankers, the real baron
eter of business and business oppor-
tunities, are showing the creates
possible confidence in the futuGe.
They are buying stocks and bonds
freely and the money market is COM
paratively easy, despite the unfavor-
able influences of the European war.
When went east vas under the
impression that the west was far
ahead of the remainder of the coun-
try as 10 good times and confidence
as to what the future has In store for
us, but learned that the east is just
as optimistic as we are and that
there is every confidence that The en-.
tire country ls going ahead as never

II heard much talk, of course, con.
cerning the new currency law, and
the consensus of opinion was that 1t
Is one Of the greatest measures ever

CRAP GAME
INTERRUPTED
Shooting Crap Proves to BE-
Expensive Pastime Game
for Participants.

Last week the CITY authoriti be-
gan crusade against gambling in
this city Evidence had been secured
that crowd Of men aud boys were
gathering In the Transfer office Of
Joe Cockrell for the purpose OF
shooting crap,
The authorities had been watching
the place for some time ano aa spon
as they had evidence to insure con-
victi0n, made the arrests. Most ev.
cry one arrested plead guilty to the
charge
Those who were complained against
at first were: j. ID. C0ckrell, who
owned the establishment, Lem Coy,
generally known as SAL Small Boy,
who runs the Vienna Cafe, Joe
Coulter, Len Cummings, zeb Arbo-
CAST, Arthur Worden, Wilson Lee,
Cady Gaver and Clarence Scnotield.
These we're brought before Police
Judge Miller witn Chief of Police
Campbell and City Attorney Cherry
appearing against them, and with
the exception Of Lem Coy, they all
plead guilty. Lem Cos denied the
charges and his conduct became so
bad during the trial that the,.J udge
imposed heavier fine on him than
on the others. He called the Wit
nesses against him liars, resisted ar
rest and caused all the trouble he
could. His fine was sl04. IS, 800 OF
this being the fire and s4.75 bhc
costs. The others weressassessed $25
each, most VI whom were able t0
raise the amount, but three we're not
and were compelled to lay 1t out In
jail, unless theV can get 1t later.
There were number of hoys who
rad been playing the game along with
the older ones, but owing to their
youth, no complaints were filed
against them.
This is said to be only one of sevs
al games which are being conducted
around town, several turkey"
games coming under suspicion as be-
ing a violation oil the gambling laws
But we understand sufficient evidence
was not forthcoming to assure con
victiun SO they we're not prosecuted
but will be warned net to violate the
law in the future.
Tuesday murniuR complaints were
served uUon several more. Lon Mey
ers was arrested snd plead not guilty.

count.
The word has been given out that
all forms OF gambling must cesse and
any further violations OF the law will
be prosecuted. This raid Un gambl-

There are nine cities in the United
States where elementary school teachers
are paid n higher salary than are those
OF Philadelphia. according TO a report
made to the Board Of Estimate of New
York city by Comptroller Prendergast,
who is advocating revolutionary changes
in the school system Of that municipality.
According to these statistics the ele-
mentary teachers of New York are the
best paid in the country. receiving $1197
yearly. The list then cites San Francisco
as paying an average salary OF s1l24 TO
the teachers. then Chicago, Boston. st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Newark,
Milwaukee and finally Philadelphia,
where the average salary is said to be
only 1881. Only four cities in the coun-
try are cited as paying less than this
amount; they are Washington, Cleve-
land, Baltimore and New Orleans, the
average salary Of the elementary teacher
in the last named city being only 1856,
according TO Comptroller Prendergast
The recommendations made TO the
Board Of Estimate affect more than q. 900
teachers and 100000 pupils and eliminate
any increase In the school budget for the
coming year, which would effect a saw
ing of s4,O0O,0oo The extension of the
school year from 10 to a. weeks is advo-
Gated, as is the lengthening of the school
day from to hours The plan would
eliminate part-time pupils nd the giving
of extra pay to teachers In vacation
schools.
Comptroller Prendergast also recon-
mends the extension of the Gary voca-
tional school system to all parts of New
York. He believes that the lengthening
of the school year will enable children
to complete their elementary education
in seven, instead Of eight, years.
