Great Gambling Resort Is Los
ing Proposition Even
To Owners

lMONTA CARLO. June 2.-Desper-
ate gamblers who have mortgaged
their lives on the tickle turns of the
Monte Carlo roulette wheel. may find
consolation in the fact that they
aren't the only losers in the worlds
greatest casino. An investigation
which has turned the affairs of
Monte Carlo upside down has Just
disclosed that even the syndicate
which operates the casino has been
playing losing game. 1t has been
vicimized by the hundreds of graft
ing. squandering officials who form
the staff of the worlds greatest
gambling industry.
AS a result of the exposure, NJ. Ca
mile Blanc. president Of the Casino.
has been deposed from office, another
high official has committed suicide.
and the gambling halls have under
gone a house-cleaning that extended
from top to bottom.
Demands Bigger Income.
Discovery of the graft resulted in
directly from a demand of prince
Louis of Monadco that his "cut" in
the casino income be increased.
Prince Louis receives his annual
$140.0O0).s bat the prince demanded
recently that he also receive share
of the surplus profits. He was told
there weren't any.
The prince became suspicious and
called in Sir Basil Zaharoff. the mil
lionaire Greek, whose ownings
throughout Europe include an inter-
est of about 100000 in Monte
Carlo. Sir Basil approved an inves
tigation, although it was only
brought about after a stormy meet
ing Of the directors in which per-
sonal insults. accusations of dishon-
esty and threats Of violence were
thrown about the room.

BERLIN, June 2.-"American farm
ers through their cooperative or
ganizations are in a position to
smother Wall street congressman
and the President" United States
Senator Smith Wildman Brookhart
declared to the German press Satur-
day.
The Iowa senator, after studying
European cooperative societies. is
more than ever convinced that an ex-
tension of their principles through
out the world would do away with the
necessity and mistakes of politics.
IF the farmers co-operatives of
America would join with those in
Germany and France they could set
tie all world problems" he said.
Brookhart revealed that American
market societies, such as the Con-
solidated Farmers union and the Non
Partisan leaguers are now negotiat-
ing with wholesale organizations in
Europe for the direct marketing of
western grain instead of selling
through the Chicago Board of Trade.

United we stand; divided we

river situation. according to Col. 7.
G. Ashburn. chief of the inland wa
terways service of the war depart
elent.
Colonel Ashburn expressed the
hope that as result OF the forth-
coming conference in Alabama be-
tween shippers, chambers of COM
merce, local officials and the feder-
al management. all differences Of
opinion and misunderstanding might
be eliminated and policy formu-
lated by unanimous action which
would prepare the Warrior for all
future tests.
1t is known that Colonel Ashburn
feels that unless every interest
stands together the Warrior can be
saved only by miracle. On the
contrary, he feels that If every in
terest does pull together. a situa-
ton will result that will appeal be-
cause of it's probabilities to Con-
gress.

The chief of inland waterways
did not authorize an interview. 1t

pulling together, that there is no
Justice in the campaign against
Theodore Brent being waged by Mo-
bile, and that in view of the slow
ness with which the Interstate COM
merce commission moves. more can
be gained from railroads, in the
form of rate concessions, by arbitra-
ton than by misdirected force.
Colonel Ashburn gives the impress
sion that he is convinced that tho
Southern Railway company is seri-
ously inclined to meet Warrior Of
that il the Southern eventually
makes material concessions the
Louisville and Nashville will follow
suit. Likewise, he defends the tenn
porary" embargo applicable to Tus-
caloosa, Cordova and Demopolis with
the explanation that, as at present
greater losses accrue from greater
volume Of package business, that
volume should be reduced

There is little doubt but that at

nothing could be gained from such

there are two traffic men In the

on several if not all the forego-

Alabama apparently disagree with
Colonel Ashburn. According to Colo

He is entirely optimistic but thor

A Word of Appreciation

THE net paid circulation of the
Birmingham Sunday Age-Herald
is now in excess of $4,000 copies, a
gain of more than 70 per cent over the
net paid circulation Of one year ago.
More than so per cent Of this gain in net
paid circulation of The Sunday
Age-Herald has been made since the
present owners of The Age-Herald &C
quired control of the newspaper about
six months ago.
During the month of May, just past,
the display advertising volume Of
The Age-Herald showed a gain of 27.2
per cent over the month of May last
year, which, with the very extraordi-
nary increase in circulation, shows the
great growth of The Age-Herald under
its present ownership.
For this manifestation of confidence
and support on the part of the reading
and advertising public The Age-Herald
particularly desires to convey its very
deep appreciation.
