clean from the body. The crew were
threshing grain along side of the
separator, the accident occurred be-

had happened. The horse is fine
large animal and although it is get
ting along alright so far yet it is
a loss to Mr.. observation-disclosures

purposes and to restrain the half-civi1ized
league would be final, although it Is my
belief they are in the end effective even
against aggressively armed states.
"The first and foremost duty Of the
league is, therefore, the reduction of an
armament that Is now on a greater scale
than in 1914"
Hoover suggested that a time limit be
placed upon this disarmament and that
the United States should provide that
continuation of its membership in the
league should be based on success of
this effort.
He said this country could we'll afford
to loan money to Europe lie 1t saved the
taxes necessary for maintenance of huge
naval and military programs.
Hoover said it was not generally real
ICED that the treaty is now in effect and
can not be strapped.
Europe has regretted. but 1t has not
waited upon the divided mind Of the
United States he said.
at Is the guarantee of the disarma-
ment of four great autocracies, and no
European nation is going to risk their
revival"
COVENANT ESSENTIAL
PART OF TREATY.
Hoover said the covenant was an es-
sential part of the treaty.
There is. therefore. a primary fact:
That all talk Of making a new treaty Is
bunk; to revise the functions of the
league In the prevention of war is pos
sible
Therefore, my suggestions are:
First that it is worth considt alton
by the present members Of the league
whether immediate revision of the parts
mentioned should not be undertaken IN

in Each Place.

Five alleged gambling places in and
near Mineola, against which District At
.orney Charles r. Weeks Of Nassau
county said he has been storing up evi-
hence for six months were raided spec
racularly yesterday by county officials
and twelve members Of the State con-
Stabulary.
The squad operated out Of Mineola,
rtarting about 8 O'Clock In the after
noon, and made the rounds of the ap-
pointed places rapidly. About 8 o'clock
the first motor load Of gambling para
phernalia arrived ut the Mineola Court
House, and after four others followed
tho prisoners began to appear. The
proprletors Of all Of the places were
arrested and about twenty witnesses
were brought In to be held in bond
Driving to Glen Cove City, the party,
led by Elvin N. Edwards, Assistant
District Attorney, left the automobiles
nbout two blocks from a resort known
as the Elsinore Club, organized as a
gathering for athletic young men, and
formed for frontal attack on the place.
Most Of the townspeople were aware Of
what was going on, and runners went
20 the club, arriving before the officers.
When Mr.. Edwards and his squad
reached the club porch they found the
door locked against them. A crowd of
1000 Glen Cove citizens were ready to
shout derisively, but Mr.. Edwards had
been prepared. He sent a crowbar
crashing through the door panel and the
officers rushed in.
They arrested Joseph Campbell, the
proprietor and took Cyrus Amberg and
Thomas OShaughnessey along as prin-
clpal witnesses. About a dozen players
we're gathered around tables when they
entered, the officers said.
Tine next stop was at Locust Valley,
where the tactics were repeated in the
case OF an establishment run by Chris
klosch. George and Edward Klosch,
brothers, who. seemed to be in charge,
were put In cars and started back to
Mineola. The squad went back to Glen
Cove. where they took half a dozen al
legged crap shooters, and one man whom
they charged with carrying a revolver
While the countryside was rocking
with the excitement Of these raids
County Detective Carman Plant with
Detective Thomas Barbuti raided a bar
Der shop at Mineola' kept by David
Newport and discovered in the rear a
number Of telephones and racing charts,
they said. Newport was arrested.
Justice Townsend Scudder, who had
been notified Of the intended raids, was
waiting for the prisoners and held each
of the principals In 5000 bail with the
exception OF Newport, whom he held in
S,W0 bail for further examination. All
Of the cases were set for next week.

sources.
Attorney General J. J. Blaine will
be the: La Toilette candidate, with
James e. Thompson of La Crosse for
United States senator and E. F. Dith.
mar for lieutenant governor, or for
Encouragement in place of Blaine.
Senators La Toilette had conferences
with his Heutenafts in Alfred T. Rog-
er's Office sin the Bank building.

PORTAGE FLU"
is IMPROVING

According to statements of Health
officer A. ]. Batty the sickness con-
ditions in Portage are improving and
the cooperation of the physicians as
well as the citizens should bring
telling results in stamping out con-

He also declared that there were
172 cases of sickness in Portage up to
/ o'clock Saturday afternoon, and it
was the general belief that the ply
sicians had the situation well in hand
to stamp out the flu or grip speedily
The cases this year generally are not
as serious as they were last season,
he said.
