PRETTY RAW!

Nation Wide Gambling Pool,
Just Revealed in New
York City.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Am
eriean prints the following:
Huge gambling and swindline
pools, operated in all the large cities
of the United States, have been I'M
covered here.
Clearing House exchanges are
used for the basis of the betting.
For instance, if exchanges OF
checks in the Clearing House are
$7S2,756,304 the number 1927
would be the lucky number.
Coupons are printed and sold
broadcast and the person holding
the coupon with the number that
corresponds to the Clearing House
report is the winner.
The coupons are sold for rs cents
each.
The odds are SEQ to 1. Thus the
winner receive $50 for his 20 cent
investment.
But the game is crooked. Sharp
ers lacking the pool seek advanced
information on the Clearing House
exchanges so they can withhold the
lucky coupons.
They thus are enabled to collect
25 cents each from the tens OF thou
sards of suckers and at the same
time see that there are no winners
and thus save the $3.50 daily
The operation is much like the
ola Louisiana lottery, except that in
that famous lottery person had a
chance tc win.

ernoon that Colonel Robert w. Da-
Wis had yielded to the insistence Of
his friends and would run for con-
gress in opposition to Crank Clarke;
No little surprise was caused by this
announcement since it was known
that Colonel Davis was the most ar

last race when he was opposed by
Mr.. Davis, Of package law fame, and
whose residence is at Madison.
1t has been current, rumor for
some time that Colonel Davis was
being urged to run, and that his
friends promised that if he would
run they would relieve him of the
trying campaigning and expense of
the race. So far Colonel Davis has
made no announcement and his rea-
sons for entering the race will be
awaited with great deal of interest.

SATURDAY WASH0LIDAY
Operators Announce No
Plans for Immediate
Future
(By Associated Press)

indianapolis, Ind, April 3.-The
first test of strength in the nation.
wide suspension of work by union
coal miners came today, the begin
ming of the suspension on Saturday,
an annual holiday among miners,
having failed to determine the exact
effectiveness of the walkout. At the
headquarters here Of the United
Mine Workers Of America confidence
was expressed that the days devel-
opments would confirm the union es-
innate of six hundred thousand men,
among them 100000 non-union work
ers, had laid down their tools for an
indefinite period Of idleness.
A tacit truce between miners and
operators was counted on apparently
to make the union estimate of idle
men certainty. Few if any oper-
ators in the big coal producing cen
ters that are strongly unionized were
expected to attempt an early resump-
tion of operations. The situation,
however, was in doubt in the non
union and open-shop districts.
Operators of the Pennsylvania an
thracite mines were not planning an
immediate resumption of work and
reports sent here indicated similar
attitude on the part of mine owners
in the central competitive field and
the southwest interstate district.
These three districts have more than
100000 employees, excepting about
half of the. 10000 anthracite work
ers. States included in this strong
hold of the suspension were Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missou-
ri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Okla
homa.
In addition central Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, along with the.
smaller coal fields, were counted on
to swell the ranks of the striking
men,

Dublin, April 3--The meeting ad-
dressed by Michael Collins at Castle
bar, County Mayo, last night, was
stopped by members of the fourth
western division Of the Irish Republi-4
can army after stormy scenes in
which a woman was wounded by a
bullet, according to accounts reach
ing Dublin this morning.
The chief of the provisional gov
ernment and his party returned to
their hotel, and the officer who had
proclaimed the meeting at an end fol-
lowed, declaring that none would be
allowed to leave until Mr.. Collins and
his friends had surrendered theirs
arms.
The accounts received here do nol
state whether the Collins party was
disarmed, merely saying that "some
people who left the hotel were search
d." The telegraph wires around Cas-
stlebar were cut, and when the news
paper correspondents there boarded
train for Athlone they were order
ed by two officers to go to the bar
racks.
McCabe Admits Drawing Weapon
The newspaper men were conveyed
to the barracks in automobiles where
they found A. McCabe, member of
the Dell Eireann, with Commandant
Kilroy and his staff. The comman-
dant stated that Mr.. McCabe had adj
nktted he was the first to draw a re-
volver at the meeting. Mr.. McCabe
then, in the presence of the cores
pondnt, said he believed he was the
first to draw, the dispatches say.
A Dublin man, said to be Charles
Byrne, a member of the Collins party,
was arrested and accused of the shoot
ing. Mr.. Collins subsequently told
the representative of the Irish indie
pendent Dublin newspaper, that he
had visited Mr.. Byrne in the barracks
and found him in a cell with only a
plank for a bed, and no bedding. He
said he had asked Commandant Kill
roy to patrole Byrne, Mr.. Collins to
be responsible for him, but that the,
request was refused.
Mrs. Fogarty, proprietress of the
Commercial hotel, Castlebar, was
in the shoulder, presumably
by the bullet fred at the meeting.

tel here hits morning for the annual
meeting of the Southern Traffic
league. President J. 7. Ryan, in call
ling the meeting to order, said that
the south undoubtedly faced the most

history and that single purpose, unit
ed effort and sustained action, was
the only means of returning business
to its logical level.

posed the delegates in attendance.
! The election of officers was the first
order Of business and discussion of
reduction of rate levels was to be
heard in every section of the hotel
where delegates were gathered.
Representatives of South Carolina
shippers, Palatka, Fla, wholesale
grocers and Chamber of Commerce,
who were in attendance, contended
that the time has come for the trans
portation lines to reckon competi-
tion among themselves, the same as
every other business and to effect
means of prospering their patrons
or trade as other industries of the
country are doing. This seemed to
strike ready response among the
delegates and arguments for flat
percentage decrease equivalent to
the wartime percentage class rate
increases was possibility of later
discussion.
Palatka Well Represented.
The foregoing dispatch from At
lanta makes it appear that the Pa
latka Chamber of Commerce imme-
diately upon Secretary Hart's arriv-
al in Atlanta, recorded the position
of Florida on freight rate matters as
affecting the wholesalers and distrib-
utors.
Secretary Hart has been identified
with various transportation and
large industrial traffic organizations
prior to his residence here. He was
assistant traffic manager of the |
Worthington Pump and Machinery

Lucy Manufacturing corporation,
both in New York city His railroad
rate-making experience was with the

Three Thousand Work
ers Start Getting Out
Spuds
.T0P PRICE IS $3.50
Palatka and Hastings
Enter Prosperous
Business Era

| Three thousand laborers went into
the potato fields in the East Palatka
Federal Point and Hastings section
this morning to begin the big work
of getting out the crop. Some grow
ers tsarted digging some time ago,
but the great majority waited until
their product was sufficiently ma
tured to command top prices. 1t is
believed in Hastings today that when
the stock being gotten out now ma
lures that the price will advance.
Prices quoted in Hastings today,
fob. Hastings, were generally SIPS,
but few isolated offers of $3.50
were reported. No confirmation of
sales at the alter price were receiv-
ed.
Several days ago the farm labor
bureau sent out call for 5000 la
borers to help market the crop, and
of this number about 1000 were put
to work this morning, with perhaps
thousand more attaches of the va
rious potato farms. Truckload after
truckload crossed the bridge out of
Palatka late yesterday afternoon and
early this morning. Labor is plen-
tiful and the growers are in high
spirits, for bidding for the crop is
spirited and prices look as if they
will be we'll maintained.
Government Bureau Opens.
The government market informa-
ton bureau opened this morning at
Hastings in the Burt hotel, with Mr.
Parker in charge. Mr.. Virgins, for
merly in charge of the bureau at
Hastings, was not present. Tele-
graphic information from all market
centers will be furnished daily, to-
gether with car movements and di-
versions. The Florida Citrus ex-

ing force and is handling more po-
tatoes this year than ever before.
The scene at Hastings Saturday
night rivaled that at Palatka, when
more people were seen on the streets
than at any time since the famous
days of 1917. Merchants in both
places report splendid increase in
business. The fact that there was so
much activity this early in the game
indicates the psychology of the stu
alton, and those who have been dis
posed to swing tight to every penny !
they could command are beginning
TO see verification of hopes that
this potato season will prove prof
table one, as, the yield will be nor

The marketing facilities of the
