 7 One evening, upon returning to his modest apartment. the croupier was surprised to find a strange man await ing him. ''l am going to kill myself" the. stranger informed him with calm deliberation. But first l am going to kill youW M Ketchiva recognized the man as one who had lost heavily at the table the day before.
 The stranger drew a revolver, aimed at the croupier. and was about to pull the trigger. NJ. Ketchiva thought fast!
 "See bere, my friend" he said. 'l am fatalist If I'm to die, all well and good But, as we are to die to- gether. let's have bit of supper first"
 The stranger agreed. and the croupier laid the cloth. For some minutes they ate in silence. Then the croupier offered . proposition. You say you have lost your fortune at my table? We'll. of course that was not my fault. But I'll tell you what I'll do. We'll cut the cards, high man wins. If win you give me my life. If lose, I'll give you 10000 francs and you may kill me"
 The stranger was startled, but afte, ssne thought he agreed to the proposl. tion. They cut The stranger turned up . tsn of diamonds, and the croupier turned up four of clubs! "Ah. we'll sighed M. ketchiva, IS he tossed his wallet on the bed "You'll find 10000 francs ia there. Go ahead and shoot"

 No one knows the fetid, hectic, poisonous and sinister atmosphere of the gambling casino like the croupier. He lives in it, daily rubs elbows with eoresously gowned women caught in the msrciless grip of gambling hysteria, and he sees thrilling dramas of life acted out under bis very nose. But he must remain cool and calm. He must not show emotion. His air al. ways must be that of the blase sophisti- cate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow today an
nounced that at his request and at
the request of numerous citizens Of
indianapolis, the secretary of the
navy has decided to name one of
the new cruisers Indianapolis" The
old battlesIip Indiana was one of
the famous units that made history
in the war with Spain some years
ago, having become obsolete, it was
used as a target for big guns.
At Ludlows' request, the navy de-
partment probably will issue an Or
der soon for transfer of the silver
service of the old battleship Indiana
to the new cruiser indianapolis. The
silver service was loaned to the
state of Indiana following the sink
ing of the battleship, but the gov
eminent always has retained title TO
it and it has been held subject to
the governments orders.

campaign.

POLITICAL PLUM TO
BE AWARDED SOON

Political faction leaders were
scrambling today over the impend-
ing election of deputy coroner to
fill a vacancy created recently in the
Office of County Coroner Charles H.
Keever.
Regarded as one of the choice jobs
among county offices, the appoint
ment is receiving considerable atten-
ton from county officials. The re-
cent death of Ola B. Powers, who
held the post most of this year. has
left the appointment open to Keever.
Two names, both associated with
various political jobs in the past,
have been mentioned. They are
Samuel T. Campbell, once county
bridge inspector" and present ward
chairman and William Hamilton.
Fourth ward chairman. Salary for
the job is on a fee basis, averag-
ing from $50 to $3.50 month.
Hamilton is reported as having
the backing of county commission
ers and County Auditor Harry Dunn.

Appointed to the place Oct. 10 by
county commissioners as occupying

inspection of bridges until Oct. l,
prior to the election, when he was
granted the absence leave.
In his place, under the name
bridge inspector" commissioners
appointed Samuel G. Campbell,
whose duty it was to inspect two
county bridges under construction
and three county roads. For his

NEWCASTLE, Ind, Dec. 4.-Offi-
Gals here believe they are on the
verge of uncovering operations Of
a large liquor dealing ring which
covered various eastern Indiana
cities, and are of the opinion that
Herbert Webster, Negro, Richmond,
reputed leader of the ring, has fled
to New York in an effort to escape
arrest.
Another Richmond Negro, Rob-
ert Smith, believed employed as a
delivery man for the ring, is in a
hospital here with a fractured skull
suffered when an automobile he
was driving and in which f1fty-five
gallons Of alcohol was found, was
wrecked near here.
Despite the suspicious directed at
him, Smith has given little informa-
ton to the authorities. He asserts
that he does not recall anything
about the accident; denies driving
the car and asserts he was never in
any automobile in which liquor was
carried.
Smith says he got into the auto
mobile at the home of his parents
in Richmond, but says he does not
remember driving away in it.
License plates on the car were
issued to Webster, but for another
make of automobile.
John Wilke and Walter Jenkins,
federal prohibition agents, after an
investigation here, expressed a
theory that Webster heads ring
which has been doing business here,
at Anderson, Muncie, Richmond
and other cities in this section It
is believed the ring financed boot
leggers in these cities or at least
kept them supplied with liquor.
Authorities declare they suspect
a bootlegging group here of con-
nection with the ring. This group
has been under surveillance for
some time, but so far evidence suf-
ficient to warrant arrests has not
been available.

MUNCIE, Ind, Dec. 4-Iron-
handed discipline is in effect at the
Delaware county jail here today, fol-
lowing mutiny among a group Of
prisoners who planned a break, in
GLIDING kidnapping of year old
child.
Harold Poe, awaiting trial on an
auto banditry charge, is accused by
Sheriff Harry McAuley Of being the
leader Of the plot, in which William
Warfel, awaiting a new trial on an
assault and battery with intent to
kill charge. was also implicated.
Trevett Baker, Irwin Jones and
Albert Nickerson, each under a two
to fourteen-year reformatory term
on banditry charges, refused to join
in the mutiny, leading to a fight.
Baker, with a broken ankle, IS using
crutches, and they were his effective
weapons during the clash. Nickerson
suffered a bruised nose.
The first indication of disorder
came when Poe refused to attend
q church service. Later it developed
that a woman who visited Poe was
involved in a plot to kidnap Jackie
Brammer, little son of Deputy Sher-
if and Mrs. Jacob Brenmer, and
a grandson Of the sheriff. Only her
failure to obtain an automobile pre-
vented the kidnapping attempt, off,
Gals declare.
Since the trouble, all special privi-
leoes have been stoned at the jail.
Prisoners are not allowed to enter
the cage surrounding the cell COM

food sent to them from outside the
institution.
