COLLECTION OF fines
GREATEST IN HISTORY

Fines amounting to 1881 we're col
lected in police court during the first
five months of the year, and fines al
ready assessed in June will bring the
total up to around $S,41S, Mayor Hand
ley stated Tuesday. An additional
1886 bond forfeited by Harry Cohn,
alleged confidence man, and another
bond for the same amount, forfeited
by Frank P Robson and now in pro-
cess of being collected through the
courts, will swell the total still more,
Mayor Handley said.
OF the $1,000 bonds forfeited by
Cohn and Robson, a SIS fee comes
out of each for the prosecuting attor-
ney. The remainder goes to the
school fund. The Robson bond is
slower to collect than COINS as that
was a cash bond while the Robson
case must go through the circuit court.
Fines collected each month of this
year were: January, 1851; February
1891; March, 1913; April, 1855; May,
S1.571; June, $1,522.
The prosecuting attorney draws ap-
proximately $4,000 for the six months
work in police court; the city takes
money goes to the school fund. When
the Robson fine is collected the
amount going to the school fund will
be around $1,000.
Fines collected this year by the
police department have reached the
highest amount ever taken in in six
months, according to Edward McNally
veteran member of the force.

AMERICAN CHARACTER,

fed by their type of national dog. The

cuffed into the type of dog desired, the
type exemplary of the civilization 1t.
self" Rev. Emil Baumann, pastor OF
the Forrest Avenue Presbyterian
church at Dayton, Ohio, declared at
the noon luncheon OF the Rotary club,
Tuesday. Rev. Baumann's subject was
The Future of America" IN his
effort to foretell the future of our coun-
try, he pointed to the effects of the
various influences which effect our
civilization.
Rev. Baumann pointed to the deter
mination of the British which is typi-
fed in the English bulldog, the placid
calm demeanor OF the Scotch collie as
exemplary OF the Scotch people, the
ferret-like Dachshund of Germany, the
piquacy of the French poodle. the fight
of the Irish terrier, all exemplifying
particular types OF people. Now,
what is the national dog of America"
asked Rev. Bauman. You'll agree
with me that his name is 'Perp. He
represents no one particular type or
characteristic of mind. But neverthe-
less he is exemplary of our type of
people. We are a mixed people and
our national type is in the making.
We viii Make Race
THE fact that the offspring of for
eign people coming to America change
their national characteristics within a
period of two generations is remark
able. 1t is an indication Of the adj
vancement Of a new race, the Ameri-
can race. That race will be what we
of today do to shape its destiny" he
said. Rev. Baumann appealed TO the
successful and wealthy men of America
to give to good charities and institu-
tions which stood fer the advancement
OF our American civilization.

PRESIDENT HARDING
ASKED TO TAKE STEP ;
T0END COAL STRIKE
(Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
President Harding was asked today
to take steps to end the coal strike
in joint appeal presented to him
by the Commission on the Church and
Social Service of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches, with which are at
filiated 80 great Protestant commun-
ions, the Department of Social Ac-
ton of the National Catholic Welfare
Council and the Social Justice Com
mission of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis. This is the first
time, as far as is known, that these
representative organizations Of Prot
estants, Roman Catholics and Jews
have taken joint action in an indus
trial matter The churches in their
appeal asked the president to call
national coal conference to get the
facts of the coal industry through a
government investigation. Not to wait
until the suffering women and children
of the mining camps has become
national calamity, and to end the coal
strike now.
The statement expresses gratifca-
ton that the press, as a whole, has
been successful in recording the facts
in the strike. The appeal OF the
churches in full is as follows:
ITO the President of the United
States-We desire to express to you,
on behalf Of the three great religious
organizations that we represent, our
conviction that the time has arrived
when our government should act to
bring about conference in the blum
nous coal industry to end the present
strike. We believe that the majority
Of the people of this country are I'M
willing to have its vitality important
industries subject to economic combat
as a means of settling disputes.
Whenever either disputant In a
controversy declines to employ the
methods of conference and arbitration
1t becomes proper for the government
to intervene. 1t is inconceivable that
public action should wait until the
sufferings Of women and children in
mining towns should have reached the
proportions Of a national calamity

Get-Rich-Quick Bubbles That Have Burst
BY HARLEY MATTHEWS
THE SMUGGLERS WHO TRADED IN SOULS

Mr.. Knowles and Mr. Hole, the
former smugglers, were reckoned the
best judges in London of art, wine,
and horses.
The sixteen year-old director seem
ed the only one in Great Britain not
satisfied with the companys methods.
Every board meeting he was fined,
and he had been heard muttering re-
venge. Then, in March 1889, in the
Scotch Reformer's Gazette" appeared
an article warning the public against
the Independent and West Middlesex
Life and Fire Assurance Company.
TT is a false and fictitious company"
the editor. Mr.. Peter Mackenzie de-
clared. There is no greater parcel of
trickesters in London. We shall not
rest contented until we chase them
out of every city in Her Majesty's do
minions."
3 In reply to this Mr.. Knowles and
Mr. Hole instructed their attorney to
go ahead and smash the paper. They
lost the action but they forthwith
brought another.
Of course, the articles of the
Scotch Reformer" were talked of in
London At one of Mr. Knowles din
ners a man burst in and called him
and Mr.. Hole swindlers, and the office
in Portman Square a robbers den.
But no-one there needed him at all
The food and the wine were too good;
and presently the man was raving his
denunciations to the stars.
The legal actions had cost Mr..
Mackenzie $4,000, nearly the whole
of his capital. But still the articles
exposing the Independent etc, went
on. But the more it was denounced,
the more it advertised, and more peo-
pie came to invest their money on its
alluring terms.
! Then, one Monday morning, the boy
director found the door not open when
d! he arrived. He waited some time, but
nobody came. Looking through a
window he saw the place was strange
/ ly empty All the furniture and car
pets had been removed.
