fused to indict three men arrested on
gambling charges by police after

wanted-learned he was being watched

Charles E. Fox, Glen Justice and
Schly Ridgeway, arrested last month

block of H street. The raid was made
after an undercover investigator
claimed to have made several bets with
the fourth man. Police procured a
warrant for this man and instructed
the investigator to stay with him until
the arrest could be made.
The investigator did not do this,
however, and informed the officers the
gambler told him his place was hot"
and that the police were watching him.
The officers then went to the apart
ment and, after being refused admit
tance. broke down the door. The man
named in the warrant was not there
and they arrested the other three.
Slips Found in Basket.
Police claimed a quantity of num-
bers slips we're being burned in a
wastebasket, some of which allegedly
were recovered. They also said they
found three marked nickels in the
apartment.

on charge of setting up a gaming
table. He was arrested in a raid at 206
C street March 80. Police said they

lishment and took several bets. the
callers identifying themselves by name

Money and Morals

AL Of Us know that money has q
strange effect upon the minds and
morals Of some people but no sadder
proof Of this fact can be obtained
than Is offered by the suit Of Anne
Cannon Reynolds Smith to break the
will Of the late Smith Reynolds and
share in his $50, 00o,0 900 estate.
When she married Reynolds. Anne
Cannon was herself an heiress. Many
q bathroom boasts the towels made In
her fathers factories. She probably
will come into more than a million
dollars Of her own.
The marriage was not q happy one.
Too often the unions Of spoiled and
petted children Of wealth turn out
disastrously. And SO Mrs. Reynolds
obtained q Reno divorce, made a set
Element with her husband over money
for their child and subsequently mar
ried young Mr.. Smith.
Now she tries to invalidate the d.
vorce, at the same time attempting to
cast onus upon the child Of Reynolds
and his second wife, unborn when its
father was found shot to death in his
palatial mansion. BY so doing this
daughter Of wealth, who will have
more than enough If she gets MOTH
ing whatever from the Reynolds es-
tate, brands her second marriage
illegal and herself as an adulterous
woman and q fool.
It Is lurid exposition of the lack
Of character. One wonders a little II,
when she denies memory Of the de-
position which won her divorce, she
Is speaking for herself or for interests
behind her which have a lust for
money even greater than her own.
There must be something to explain
this queer demonstration of the ven
atty Of human nature.

Giving to Those Who Have
(McKenzie County Earnner)

Government employees all receive
fair remuneration and could stand the
slight cut In salaries imposed about
two years ago. But collectively they
exercise great deal Of influence and
leave 1t to those birds to be able to
get together when their collective in
terests are threatened. They have 1t
on any lodge or order In sticking
shoulder to shoulder. SO they influ-
enced congress to restore their five or
ten per cent cut and restoration Of
government salaries goes into effect
April LIST. President Roosevelt, COM
PEELED to acquiesce, threw q monkey
wrench into this congressional agree
ment by serving notice congress must
provide just that much more money,
the additional millions of dollars it
will require to restore government
salaries.
This incident is just another ex-
ample Of how easy it is to be liberal
with other peoples money. With
some eleven or twelve million persons
unemployed, all Of whom Or sundry
have a. much right to be or the gov
eminent pay roll Is those now on, it
would seem the part Of wisdom to cut
government salaries another 10 per
cent in saving Of public monies for
the upkeep Of the unemployed. But
our sinuouS congressman always con-
slider their own skins, their own po-
litical future. and thought It better to
capitulate to our combined office
holders In restoring fat salaries.
Rather vulnerable, you know, for pos
sibly only one in fifty congressman
could earn their own salaries Of $780,
600 and perQuisites in private life.
We would have loved to portray how
some congressman fought this raid on
the public treasury, with an offer to
himself stand cut Of say ten per
cent, but the day OF miracles is past.
After the session is over these same
congressman will swarm back to
their states and show US how we are
oppressed, harassed and preyed on by
some mythical devourer OF our SUBJ
stance and how they fought them till.
like the Kilkenney cats, only the tails
remained. They will hand us cheap
lip sympathy to become elected, then
turn about and squauder public
money like drunken sailors.

Of what has gone before and credulou.

handed them hook. line aud sinker

A Sweet Report

Reporting net earnings Of t3.56 per
share Of common stock as against
t3.67 last year, the American Sugar
Refining company, largest In the in
dustry, commits itself to rather .
peculiar position In its comments on
the current business scene.
It's report goes into great detail
about what it terms sugar difficult
ties" and makes much of the fact that
our sugar imports are enough to sup
ply the needs Of all the people In our
IS less populous states.
Then it shows in its catalogue pic
lures Of its Cuban sugar factories
which crush the cane from 100000
acres and employ $4,000 persons in
farming and industrial operations.
Add to these the fact that the com.
pany already has retired 100000 in
bonds which were not due until 1887
and has added to its reserve fund un-
til It stands at more than $4,000 900
Of which 100000 Is in cash-and
one wonders just what It Is worrying
about.
The report sheds salty tears over
the way In which the domestic sugar
producer has been treated and ct the
same time asserts something ought to
b done for Cuba, still struggling with
. sugar surplus.
In short. one finds It . little diff
cult 70 determine what the position

one thing: e has done rather well
