STEELTON
BOYS ARRESTED
FOR GAMBLING
Police Raid Woods and Find
Negroes Eengaged in
"Crap" Game

Chief of Police Grove. Sergeant
Hand and Patrolman Bowermaster
yesterday afternoon arrested five
colored boys whose ages range from
twelve to seventeen years while they
were engaged in a crap" game in
woods within the borough limits,
in the vicinity of Harrisburg and
Pine streets
The department has had knowl-
edge of the weekly games and on
several occasions men have been de-
tailed to raid the woods, but when
they arrived no gamblers were to be
found. Several weeks ago the de-
partment reported the arrest of two
men out of six who were gambling
in this section.
THE case of the boys engaged in
gambling was reported to the police
yesterday. The chief at once sum-
moned two men and went to the
woods. Chief Grove believed the
gamblers to be men but found they
were boys. They did not resist the
officers and were taken to the
lookup.
The boys and their ages are: Fos-
ter Murrey, II; Ethaniel Williams,
IT; Fred Fisher, 12; Nevan Fisher,
IA. and John Broads, 1S. They will
be given n hearing by Burgess Nc
Entee this evening.
Police. according to Chief Grove,
are making efforts to break up gam
bling on the streets in the West
Side. Department officials are aware
of the fact that gambling is, a COM
mon occurrence at the corner of
Myers and Franklin streets, but are
unable to get the goods on the ne
groes. Several arrests have been
made in this vicinity, but this does
not seem to affect those engaged in
the game. The gamblers station
themselves on the corner and are
able to see for several squares, the
chief says. When a strange man
or an officer makes his appearance
in this territory, the gambling ceases
at once, and the officers are unable
to locate the guilt parties.

Council Will Make Usual
Playground Appropriation

Reports that council would not
make the usual appropriation for
conducting the borough Fairgrounds
this summer that has gained wide
circulation through the borough is
false according to It. J. Nelley, presi-
dent of council and chairman of the
finance committee. Mr.. Nelley said
this morning that $1,000 will be
given to the commission this year
as has been the custom heretofore.
The official said that council would
ask commission members to re-
trench in expenses wherever they
saw fit. Businessmen and residents
were free with their accusations this
morning on such a move of council
to refuse the commission the allow
ance. How the report got into cir
culation Mr.. Nelley said he did not
know. He said it was not true and
the residents should not be alarmed

According to information which
has been furnished by the depart
ment of internal affairs at yelling
ton, the Trochus niloticus, common
ly found in Queensland and the
South Sea islands, does not occur in
New Zealand; but other shells which
are found in these waters might be
used in the manufacture of buttons,

not ut present used for the manufac-

but both occur in great numbers on
rocky coasts neal the low-tide mark,
the paua being much the commoner.
Since these shells have been

ALLIES TO CONTROL
RAW MATERIALS
AFTER WAR

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL
after the war is perhaps receiving
more serious attention from the
British than any other postwar pol
icy, according to advices received by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.
Phillip b. Kennedy, American
commercial attache at London, in a
report to Washington officials, says
that after the British government
has perfected with the dominion
governments a plan for maintaining
control of minerals in the British
empire, it is expected that represen-
tations will be made to the United
States and other allied countries for
some common action.
Important meetings of the imper-
ial war conference and the imperial
wal cabinet were held in London
during July, he says, at which prime
ministers and others representing
the dominions were present.
The conference is a deliberative
body which reports it's decisions to
the cabinet, a more executive organ-
iZation. Questions OF imperial pol
icy were discussed at the meetings,
which were regarded of unusual au-
thority because of the prominence
of the conferees.
A special committee of the con
ference was appointed to consider
the best methods by which essential
raw materials may be controlled,
and Bonar Law, chancellor of the
e%xchequer, has informed parliament
that arguments being made with
the dominion representatives for the
control of materials are to be the
basis for beginning negotiations
with other countries.
Close imperial cooperation in
matters of economic policy is favor
ed by the dominion representatives,
judging from their u~tterances, Mr..
Kennedy reports. He adds that
Australia and New Zealand are in
terested in retaining the German
colonies in the Pacific and in COM
batting German trade after the a

Voluntary Universal Training Helps
Very Materially in Ameri-
~canization.

How far the people of the Pacific
process of Americanization Is indicat-
ed in the current issue of the Guam
News Letter 1pies of which have re-
Gently reacned> Seattle, Wash, the
Post-Intelligencer of that city states.
The island, which Is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the ORR
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy G. Smith
Of the American navy, under the over
sight of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing a
very ardent brand of Americanism
among the island people. who are
known as Chamorros and have a
strong admixture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration of Washington's birthday in
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence of any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
to $1,270.55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the 'hot dog" stand
realized $1OS.94; Buffers soda, $685.
so; knock the cat down, $112.O7; the
moving picture show, $3.50; the jit-
ney dance, $45.6O; wheel Of fortune,
$35O.1O; lemonade stand, $72.O3; base
ball game, $16.40. From all sources
the Red Cross received $500. and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 in
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect a uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest Of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory in
which such a law has been made effec-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
pei cent of Guam's population is in
the militia, at which rate, II we of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army of 7,OO0,OOO.
The flags and floats of the parade In
duced a tremendous enthusiasm in
the pOpulace.
