Americas war loan Of $1,000, OO0,-
600 surpasses the powers of the mind
to grasp. Spent at the rate of dollar
q minute 1t would take 1898 years
to dispose Of the appropriation. Loan
ed out at @ per cent, $13 could be
spent. every second for an indefinite
period without touching the principal.
The interest on the loan is greater
than, the entire running expenses Of
the government less than half a cen
tury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
eminent for fully seven years on the
basis Of the annual expenditures for
the last decade. Another and more
cheerful way OF looking at the situa-
ton is that, great as the loan is, the
wealth Of the United States is such
that it amounts to the lending Of 81
out Of every $40 Of our existing tangi-
Bile resources. A penny day saved by
every inhabitant would cancel the prin-
cipal within twenty years.-ThoL.as f.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. Ex-Governor
Burnquist's announcement last night
that official Investigation will be made
Of the alleged disloyal utterances of
United States Senator r. M. La Mol
lette of wisconsin, in the course of an
address delivered Thursday night be-
fore the non-partisan League Of Pro-

various speakers were of a seditious
nature, warrants will be asked for
their arrest, the governor said.

This Mornings wholesale market
again demonstrated the extremely
small size of the market place for the
amount Of business done. The market
was very active this morning and
prices held firm or raised for all good
class OF products.
Apples gained in quantity and quail
lty this morning. Some very nice
hand-picked fall pippins went at 81
per bushel. Cabbage this morning
was Of rather poor quality and sold a
little lower than yesterday Good
solid kraut cabbage was demanded
this morning but there was none in.
Corn held about the same for the bulk
at $1.45-$1:50 per 100 but a. few hum
dred went for SITS and 81 A big load
OF Italian vegetables was in today.
Wild grapes are all gone for while.

GUESSING CLUB
PROPRIETOR is !
HELD BY POLICE
Too Many Of His Customers
Were Kept Busy
Guessing.

g THE Great American Guessing
club" will no longer perplex Bridge
port youths, who pay homage to the
shrine of the god of chance. The
gentleman who conducts the guessing
club, kept SO many Of his patrons
guessing about their winnings that he
vas arrested yesterday by Detective
lanes Bray.
None, however, need guess about
The profitable returns obtained by
running a. guessing club. The books
of the promoter, Nathan Edelhertz,
956 Stratford avenue, in his Arcade
shop, show that he received $3.50 each
week, or 81 from $50 members of his
club.
Whether you guess number and
get a suit of clothes If you guess
lightly, or whether you pay 81 to have
The manager keep you guessing, does
not appear quite clear at the present
writing. This much is certain, no
one is ever known to have guessed
the right number OF the $3.50 prize
and winners Of suits of clothes ac-
,ording to Detective Bray are about
rs scarce as hens teeth.
According to the supposed guessing
victims Of the club, this much is GER
tain. They were supposed to pay 81
each week to the club and obtain a
ticket with a number of their choos-
ing At the end of the week draw
ing was supposed to be held and the
one with the lucky number was sup
posed to get a $35 suit. The word
supposed is used advisedly.
If fortune was SO unkind as never
to designate you the winner in one o1
the drawings you were supposed" tc
get a suit after you had contributed
the cost of case of beer for 35 con-
secutive weeks. Now the rub came
when a number of the guessers found
that after they had failed to win a
suit and had contributed their 81 for
35 weeks and according to verbal
rules of the club were supposed to OBJ
tain an array of habilinents, were
kept guessing as to- when they would
get their suit.
1t is alleged that Edelhertz conceiv-
ed the admira BILE, idea of keeping his
club members on the anxious seat. The
only trouble has been that they are
not good sports and refusing to guess
any longer applied to the police for
relief They were suffering from
mental fatigue and feared that if forr
would leave them in padded cell.
The head of the guessing club is
busy guessing today just what Judge
Frank Wilder will have to say Sept.
25 in the city court.

Eat Loss; Do More.

A fat nation is no good. Lean ma
tons accomplish things. We should
eat less and think more, have smaller
girth and larger chests, less on the hip
and more on the thorax, have fewer
potatoes at dinner and more books
after dinner, more exercise and less
chewing. A strong person can subsist
on little oatmeal and philosophy and
outwalk, outtalk, outthink. end in ev-
cry way Guido the person ~.,o travels
the long route from soup to nuts and
goes to sleep afterward as an anaconda
full of sheep or monkeys might. Life
Is lean affair of hungry appetites and
ambitions. Then they stimulate to

to $1.60 but the bulk went for G.50.
In spite of a large supply tomatoes
stayed up in price today. This was
for the very best grade. Medium bas-
kets and crates went for 81 and SIPS

ed for the house. They were not in time
to capture men that are believed to
have been in the house, and who may
have made good their escape by means
Of underground passageways.
This belief has led the authorities
to eaxmine extensively the cellar walls
and other sections of the house today
as it Is not believed the men wanted
got far from the premises.
With drawn guns. the party entered
the house. On the upper floor moth
ing but squalid surroundings greeted
the eye, showing that the men at
leisure had played cards, drank heav.
lily and had eaten abnormalIy.
In The cellar a motley sight greeted
the eyes of the posse for through a
large trap door entrance had been
made for the receptions Of large auto
mobiles. Two were found almost in
tact, parts Of others were strewed ev-
erywhere among over a thousand
chickens that were roosting every
where and among dozen pigs and
calves that were loose about the dirt
floor which had been rooted to a depth
Of two feet by the animals.
An automobile found outside of the
house has been claimed as the prop
erty Of frank Kane, of Long Hill,
stolen from his garage nearly a month
ago. AS it Is capable Of high speed it
Is believed 1t has been kept as a
means of the getaway"
Farther in the woods, near a huge
boulder which appears as if it recently
mas been moved, the tracks of another
car are Visible. The officers believe
that an underground exit may exist
nearby and that it was from here the
robbers made good their escape.
"A car bearing the Connecticut
marker 5S.063 has been found by the
police, also the automobile of Miss
Lillian Troy, high school teacher,
which was stolen from her residences
IN Botsford two weeks ago. A num-
DER OF other markers and parts Of
cars showing that the gang has ham
died automobiles extensively, are in
the hands of the authorities, with a
carload OF potatoes, cabbage and food
that would have kept the gang for
many months if not detected yester-
day.
The Danbury police regard this as
one OF the most important discoveries
unearhed for many months here
abouts and will likely explain nany
missing cars in Bridgeport, Danbury.
