PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-Agents
of the department of justice are busy
here gathering further evidence to
be used against the members of the
alleged Matchmaking band arrested in
Chicago Saturday, and last night
served a warrant on William Butler,
alias Butts, who federal authorities
say is one of the ring leaders of the
syndicate. Other arrests are ex-
pected and in the meantime govern
ment officers here are withholding de-
tails of the operations of the alleged
blackmailers.
Butler was arrested here last Janu-
airy on charge of conspiracy and
! impersonating United States mar
shall in attempting to extort money
from Mrs. Susan G. S. Winpenny in
order to protect son from prosecu-
ton for supposed escapade in At
lantic City. He was held in heavy
bail and was to have been brought to
trial at the present term of the fed
eral district court. Mrs. Winpenny
died several weeks ago and in conse-
quence the case is held in allegiance.
On the same day Butler was ar
rested, Mrs Regina Klipper went to
New York with man who turned
out later to be Frank Croker, alias
Collins. He fell victim of the
alleged blackmailers and was mulcted
out of a large sum of money by
Frank Irwin, whose home is said to
be in Worcester. Mass. They repre-
sented themselves as government Off
GERS, Garbarino said. Croker was
arrested in Tampa, Fla, last February
and was taken to New York and held
In bail to await trial.
Irwin was arrested in Chicago in
June and later the accused men
according to Garzarino, succeeded in

treal to avoid appearing against them
Irwin disappeared and has not since
ben found Croker is under sur
veillance in New York.
According to Clabaugh, two of the
alleged gangsters, "Dick" Barrett and
Edward j. Thompson, confessed to
the charges and revealed the manner
in which blackmail had ben levied In
several cases. Their story was re-
plete with accounts of clever new
race track swindles and other ruses
by which beautiful women and hand
some men had fieeced their victims.
Mrs. Helen Evers. who, say federal
authorities, was the lure in the bogus
Mann act cases, said there is not a
word of truth in the charges.
Mrs Evers Indignantly insisted that
Mrs. Chapman's arrest was IAN out
rage"-that she was but a visitor al
the fashionable apartment when the
raid was made.
Mrs. Edward Donahue, older than
the other women. surrounded herself
even in jail, with an air Of outraged
dignity. Ridiculous; too ridiculous
even to deny" she asserted.
George Irwin, who Is said to be
the husband of Mrs. Evers, and Wood
ward the director general, are being
sought throughout the country to
| day.
The alleged fleeing of Mrs. Kip
per, it was said, was brought abou
through Crocker. After having wor

There has been no talk of a candidate for or any of the other offic- es:.~ It is highly important that these, places be filled with good solid men. The responsibiliti- es of the Ashdown city officials have grown heavy since the large expenditures for public utilities and with the operation of the same pending. Think ing citizens should look about them for suitable and available timber for the places unless someone offers soon. Some Of the towns have already held their primaries.

That 1vnchino haa over at

That lynching bee over at New Boston the other night is but the fruits of the laws delay, and may be lain at the door of the jury. A juror swears to be governed by, the law and the evidence solely, but too often other elements enter into the consideration of a verdict, such as sympathy and other forms of sentiment. We see no reason why an honest and intelligent man may not render an honest and just verdict even though he had previously formed and ex- pressed opinion. Nearly all men now read the papers, and nearly all men form opinions from what they read. The jury system is not perfect and never will be perfect until the men who compose juries are perfect. Since there was never but one perfect man we have at last ar rived at the point from which we started, and must acknowl- edge the folly of criticising our courts.

The News is glad to note that Judge Jones is interested in the Jefferson Highway project and will appoint delegates for the Texarkana meeting at the pro- per time. The advantages of this highway should not be ov- e1looked nor underestimated. The advertising value that it will give the towns along the line, to say nothing of financial benefits, will be equally as great as would be a new line of rail- road. The Lincoln Highway in the northern states is said to be about as busy a thoroughfare as a busy street, national tourists, pleasure seekers out to see the country and spend money.
