two women are held today for inyesti-
cation on charge OF conspiracy to
defeat the consumption law on June
S, and other arrests are expected to,
follow shortly, according to Hinton
G. Clabaugh, chief investigator here
OF the federal bureau OF justice. The

made public, but the federal agents
claimed that the leaders OF the alleged
anti-conscription conspiracy are under
arrest,
Mr.. Ciabaugh said the alleged con-
spiraey, of which he had been ap.
prised, is not confined to Chicago, but
extends through the entire central dis.
trict over which he has control. He
said evidence OF the alleged plot has
been found in portions of Wisconsin,
northern Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and

Count Andrassy Appointed
Premier of Austria by Emperor

Zurich, Switzerland, May E9.--(Fia
London British Admiralty per Wire
less Press.)--An official telegram
from Budapest says that Emperor
Charles has appointed Count Julius
Andrassy premier of Hungary.
There has been a vacancy in the
Hungarian premiership since May %,
when Count Stephen Tisza, Austria
Hungary's "iron man" and leader OF
the pro-German party in the monar-
chy, resigned his post.
Differences with the throne over
tho franchise reform measures were
assigned as a reason for the resigna-
ton; Count Tisza's proposals were
understood to be narrower in scope
than those which the monarchy fav-
ored.
Count Andrassy, former premier
and long one OF the most prominent
leaders of the opposition to Count
TiszTs ministry, is regarded as a
liberal of the advanced type. With
Count Apponyi and other opposition
leaders, he participated in an agree
inent early in the war not to antagon-
i-s the governments foreign policies,
but last August the truce was broken
and the opposition has since been an
active force in Hungarian politics,
with differences regarding domestic
policies, accumulated.

Couch, president of the Commercial League, from John Ganzell, the new manager of the Blues, it was stated that the Blues would arrive here with perhaps larger number of players than last year. The owners are we'll pleased with Philadelphia as train ing place. Last year the Blues were in dandy shape when they left here and led the league for several months.
 The local commercial league has tried to get another team to train here but probably will not succeed this year. Exhibition games will be booked with several big league teams for the Blues so the local fans will have opportunity to see them in ac- tion. The Boston Red Sox, Pittsburg Pirates, Cincinnati Reds and some of the American Association teams will probably be played. Several of the old players who were here last year will he back but the personnel of the Blues will be considerably changed.- Philadelphia Southern Standard.

 Some of these women were ready to write vote of thanks when the news came to them that the carnival would be forbidden, and before they had time to do so, were met with the state ment that is usually made in licensing an evil-"We need the money" and will therefore let it come.
 This is poor and futile argument, for such things not only take away more money than they leave, but they lower the moral tone of our young people, and demoralize the schools, the teacher being witnesses thereof by finding it harder to have good teach CTS and good attendance.
 We trust this will be the last of such we can hardly call them entertain ments, and we hope yet that it will not be allowed to come.
