TREATMENTS CARNIVAL
 RAIDED BY POLICE
Hurley's Men Take Over AL legged Gaming Wheels at
 Sound Beach -

Stamfo d, Aug. 16.--Stets police or
 orders of Sup't. Robert .du9iey o
 Hartford following complaints to Gov.
 ernor Templeton yesterday, last night
 raided the annual carnival of the
 Sound Beach volunteer fire depart
 ment, seizing seven gambling wheels and arrested Il men and one woman who were brought to police headquar-
 ters here and released under bonds of
 s1,0O charged with violation of the gaming laws.
 The raid was conducted quietly and despite the fact that many persons were present, including some of the exclusive summer residents of Sound Beach, who annually patronize the carnival literally few knew of the ar- rests. The police took with them be- sides the wheels the prizes offered to those taking chances. The cases are expected to come up in the local pol ice court today.
 A number of Sound Beach citizens wrote to and telegraphed Governor Templeton protesting against the al- legged violation of the law at the car nival. AS result the money wheels which were said to have been operat- ed earlier in the week were discon- tinued last night prizes of dolls, blankets and similar articles being substituted.
 Those arrested were Mrs. D. P. Van Wickle, wife of Sound Beach store- keeper who was alleged to have been operating a punchboard and the fol- lowing men who were alleged to have been operating gaming wheels or other devices in violation of the law:
 Charles E. Finch, John Mould, Ben- jamin r. Davis, Burger Engberg, A. M. Andrews, John A. Hall, Alec Boas- SO, Arnold Dwyer, Marwood Taylor, John Hutchinson and George Gis- borne.
 As results of the arrests the man. ager of the carnival today announced that the carnival, which was schedul- ed for a week ending tonight with a possibility of continuance next week owing to unfavorable weather earlier this week, would be closed until fur ther notice.
 It was stated at Sound Beach that one of the managers of the carnival had called Governor Templeton by telephone In an attempt to explain the situation. Governor Templeton was reported to have stated that this was his last year in office and he wished to retire with skirts clean. The governor, who had referred the mat ter to the state police was reported to have declined to interfere with any action they might see fit to take.
 The effect of the action here on similar affairs being conducted in vari | ous parts of the state, was the sub- | feet of discussion here today.

These former neigh bors of the president who only a few weeks ago comforted him at the fu- neral services for his son. were silent in their welcome lowing and nodding in return to similar greetings from MT. Coolidge.

 AT STATIONARY POINT
Cessation of Rains Affords Some Re- lief in Flooded Areas--Prcsident
 Donates $20,O00 fo~ Relief

By The Associated Press.
 Picking. Aug. 16.-The cessation of rains the last week has resulted in levels of the rivers In Chlhli province remaining stationary with the excep- ton of two points, where there was slight rise in the waters. No addition al floods have been reported and much of the flooded area is draining.
 A belated report from Hengchowfu, Human province, says that the flood was the worst known. Villages along the rivers south of the city are in ruins, while in Hengchowfu a thous- and houses were inundated.
 It is impossible to estimate the. dam age in the provinces, due to thssaack of details contained in the Chinese official reports.
 The international relief commission anticipates much distress in the fail and winter and in the meantime Is not distributing relief.
 In addition to the customs and oth- CT surtaxes, which are to be devoted to relief work, the cabinet has issued a decree reducing transportation rates on materials and supplies to the stricken districts.
 President Tsao Kun has donated S20,000 for relief.
