popular and respected young lady.
The groom came to this country

up, and outside of Is months which
he spent in Uncle Sans army, is
months of which service was spent in
France with the goth Engineers, he
has worked for and resided with Mr..
John Stoner of Outlook and he is very
highly respected, responsible and
trustworthy young man.
The newlyweds will remain in this
country for time at least, until they
make up their minds where to To-
cate. At the present time they are

GOVERNOR IS ACCUSED
IN INDIANA SENATE
Coal Mine Facts Laid Before United
States Attorney for Grand
Jury.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 21.-Senator
Joseph M. Cravens of Madison, informed
the Indiana senate, which is in special
session, that he had placed in the hands
of the United States district attorney
certain facts in connection with the coal
mining interests of Gov. James P. Good
rich.
Senator Cravens, said he had been as
sured by District Attorney Van Mugs
that the information he had presented
would be Investigated by the next fed
eral grand jury.
Senator Cravens, at the session of the
senate last Saturday, presented a state
ment in which he implied conclusion be-
tween Gov. Goodrich and Earl NJ. Co.'S
tin of Cincinnati. general manager of
the Big Four railroad, whereby a mine
in which they are jointly interested, re-
ceives preference of twenty-five coal
cars daily.
The governor appeared before the SEN
ate and answered Senator Craven's
statement. denying all implications and
inviting him to lay any information he
had before the federal authorities.
The senate has before it a house bill
providing for 100 per cent car service for
coal mines with which the state has con-
tracts for supplying fuel to state insti-
tutions.

CLANG OF IRON SHUTTERS
STARTS PANIC IN LEvANT
Noisy Closing of Shops in Turkey
on Rumors of Trouble Often
Causes Riot and Massacre.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 1 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.
Iron shutters have probably caused
more riots, massacres and pogroms
in the Levant than political agita-
tors. All shops in the near east are
provided with rolling iron shutters,
which work in iron grooves. When
they are banged down they make as
much noise as a machine gun. Every
time there is rumor' of any sort of
trouble some timid merchant slams
down his shutters to protect his plate
glass. without investigating the
cause other merchants follow in.
stantly with such clatter that the
public becomes panicky and rushes
about trying to discover the cause of
the furry.
At such moments, excited crowds
will credit any rumor which is put
into circulation. Pickpockets avail
themselves of such opportunities.
Soapbox orators, street takers and
magicians gather crowds by this de-
vice. In any Turkish city the circu-
lation of a rumor that a movement is
to be started against Christians will
cause all the Armenian and Greek
shops to close within few minutes.
and frequently the noisy closing Of
the shops fans the religious hatred
of the Moslems into action.
