GAMBLERS
(Continued from Page One) to “fix the responsibility.” The responsibility rests wholly with the sheriff and the chief of police. Why has not Judge Dearth’s threat been carried out? Criminals CoMected Fund. When the grand jury impeached Sheriff McAtiley, on testimony sworn to by Judge Dearth himself, Sheriff McAuley caused a collection fo be taken up among the criminal element of .Mancie and a fund of several hundred dollars was raised to pay for McAuley’s defense. The defense fund was used not only to pay lawyers, but a part of it was used to employ a private detective to conic to Muncie to “get something qn” Judge Dearth. In the face of this bold exhibition of partnership between crime and officialdom, when the McAuley impeachment trial came up before Special Judge Clarence Benadum, Judge Dearth himself came to the rescue of the officer whose defense was financed by the protected criminals, and recommended the dismissal of the case, declaring in a signed statement that conditions complained of had been remedied and that the ends of justice would not be conserved by further prosecution of tho action. The Never Quit Among those who contributed to the McAuley defense fund are gamblers and bootleggers who were operating when Judge Dearth made his charge against McAuley and they are operating here now, under official protection. Is it strange that the people of Delaware county made a pilgrimage :o the polls a week ago last Tueslay and smashed the political machine to which Judge Dearth, Harry McAuley and the protected law breakers all belong? The republican machine, aided by die underworld of Muncie, made a desperate effort last spring to relominate Van Ogle prosecutor, but /oe Davis, with no strings on him, vas elected by a large majority. Davis will take his office the first if the year. If ever a young man mtered office with a mass of unirslied business on hands it is Joe Davis. It should be his first concern to find out a great many things vhich are now mystifying the public. He should find out why Sheriff IcAuley and Chief Jones continued io protect law breakers after Judge Dearth made Ills threat in open court. It Is his duty to discover -why nen and women who openly violate he law took enough interest in the iff airs of McAuley, the sheriff of ihe county, to supply the funds ised for his defense. There are many matters in connection with this case which deserve a complete and thorough inr estigation. The case was dropped '.ike a hot cake for some mysterous and unexplained reason. Mr. Davis should take it up where fudge Dearth dropped it and unravel the mystery. The Sheriff’s Friends. Sheriff McAuley was elected, on he face of the returns, by a scant majority of 73 votes. The vote he received in the “redliglit” precinct ilone, which was manned by law breakers, was enough to account .’or the majority. John Humphries has contested he election and in naming the recount commission, Judge Deaith did not accord Mr. Humphries the courtesy of selecting the democratic member of the commission of three. One of the two republicans named on the commission is a man named Peacock, who sat on ihe board that decided against Webb Iordan and in favor of John Truitt n the primary contest over two mars ago. The friends of John Humphries believe that he was honestly and fairly elected. All they ask is a fair count. That they are going to have. The republican machine has been horoughly discredited here and the people are going to have what they voted for. That, or else. URGE FRAZIER’S REINSTATEMENT
Borah Writes Watson 1924 Ouster of Dakotan Was Error in Judgment.
Washington, Nov. 12.—With the political control of the next Senate hanging in the balance. Senator William E. Borah (Republican, Idaho) yesterday, called on Republican leaders to reinstate in the oarty councils Senator Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota, wbo was banished after the Coolidge landslide in 3924. The action of the Idaho senator apparently took by surprise the old pard leaders, who have been disnclined to discuss even the possibilities of Senate organization a year in advance of the necessity for meeting what now appears a perplexing problem. Senator Borah’s move, taken af"er full conferences with Frazier and others of the Republican insurgent group, is expected to bring about early action in the case of the North Dakota senator, who wants now the committe places to which his three years of service entitles him.

NO COMPROMISE ON WORLD COURT SAYSJOOLIDGE President Declares U. S. Will Enter Only On Senate Conditions.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 12.—From the base of the great monument erected in this city to the memory of the men and women of the world war and in the presence of a huge throng from- the entire Southwest, President Coolidge served formal notice in an Armistice day address yesterday, that the United States would adhere to the world court only on the conditions laid down by the Senate. The significance of the utterance from the President wbo at all times had urged membership in the court and in the face of reports that the nations represented in the court would never accept the Senate reservations to the protocol of adherence, was not lost upon the crowd which stretched far out of sight but never out of hearing of the address. Applause in which cheers mingled greeted the announcement and swung into a general ovation as the President a minute later concluded his speech. Climax to Visit. The address was the climax of a seven hours’ visit Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge made to Kansas City, Mo., and its neighbor, Kansas City, Kas., yesterday, and was delivered before one of the greatest crowds the President has ever confronted.

SHARP PRICE RISE EXPECTED IN COAL
Claim Shortage Due to British Strike; 2 Months" Sup. ply in Midwest.
Chicago, Nov. 12.—With the first cold snap of the season gone, the public’s thoughts have turned to coal of which there probably will be a shortage this winer—not enough to bring suffering, but sufficient to skyrocket the price. The consumer’s coal bin is practically empty and the demand soon will be great, a sure way to increase prices. Furthermore, there has been great foreign demand for American coal, due mainly to the British coal miner’s strike and the effect of this exporting is also seen in the coal quotations. According to reports from New York, dealers say there is plenty of coal in the metropolis, enough to last six months, at $14.75 a ton. This price has not deviated during the last six months. But in Chicago and other midwestern cities, wholesalers and retailers are not so optimistic. The general concensus of opinion here is that there is only enough coal to last two months and if there should be another cold wave shortly, a run on the companies would reduce the available supply to nothing. The price here for anthracite varies from $16.50 to $17 a ton delivered. In St. Louis egg coal is selling for $5.50 to $8 a ton, an advancing of almost one dollar in the past six months. The prevailing price in Chicago is $7.50 to $8.50 a ton delivered, also a marked increase.
Organize to Eliminate Poisonous Proclivities from Venomous Snakes.
An old Confederate flag wrapped In a Chicago Times, dated March 24, 1863, was found by workmen in the wall of an old residence at Hannibal, Mo., which is being remodeled. j
Cambridge, Mass.,—Science has stretched out its hand in the form of the newly organized Antivenin Institute of America to take death dealing powers from the rattler, moccasin and the other venomous snakes. Dr. Afranio do Amaral, from the state of Sao Paulo Serum Institute and Snake Farm in Brazil, has assumed the directorship of the organization and has returned to Harvard from a summer tour of the United states, studying the dangers of the different localities and organizing the institute which is to combat them. Behind this war on poison are Harvard University, the United States army, the Mulford company of Philadelphia and the United Fruit company of Boston. The battle has opened on two new fronts this summer, Central and South America, besides tho Brazilian states. The scietific base of the North American division has been established at Harvard. The experimental stations, where the serum is prepared is at Glenolden, Pa. Field stations for the capture of the reptiles, the extraction of their venom and the distribution of the life saving serum are at San Antonio, New Orleans and San Diego. The field workers go into “snake” country and lasso the reptiles with a loop of twine on the end of a stick. They are then shipped to the central snake houses of the field stations. The venon is extracted by squeezing the gland contents out through opened mouth. The venom is dried and the resulting yellow crystals are sent on to the Glenolden station. The snakes live about six months in captivity and every fortnight thev are forced to yield up their store of poison. They are not ted, for the venom is a form of saliva used in digestion. At Glenolden, a solution is made tested and standardized. Then, very gradually so that the animals are not made ill, the solution is injected into horses After six months of this treatment the horse is bled and yield up the serum which is said to have the power to save either ruman or brute. o HOME APPROVED FOR VISITORS OF WARJETERANS Indiana Mothers Chapter To Build Near Marion, Ind. Sanitarium.
Indianapolis, Nov. 12.—Erection of a war memorial home near the veterans sanitarium at Marion, where war mothers may stay while visiting sons and husbands is the aim of Indiana chapter of American War Mothers, which closed its ninth annual convention in the Travertine room of the Lincoln hotel Wednesday afternoon. A resolution adopted at the closing session directed its governing board to petition the national organization to establish its next home in Indiana. Indiana war mothers are now helping to maintain a similar home near Denver, Col., and action looking toward establishment of such a home in Indiana followed reports of the splendid service being rendered at the Colorado home. Delegates said, about a dozen mothers and wives from all parts of the country who go to Marlon daily to visit loved ones in the sanitarium must go several miles to find Lodgings in a hotel. A home near the sanitarium would enable them to rest comfortably during their stay.

Art Stout
Art Stout, cigar store and pool room proprietor whose place of business is located at the corner of Walnut and Seymour streets, has discovered what it means to buck the machine in Muncie. His place w'as raided the day after election by Sheriff McAuley and one of his deputies and one of Stout’s employes, who was sitting in as one of the players of a “rum” game, for checks, was arrested and on the following day Stout himself was served with a warrant charging him with keeping a gaming house. Stout w’as one of the five men who began gambling on a big scale after Hampton became mayor. Judge Dearth declared in open court that Stout had spent two thousand dollars arranging his gambling rooms over the cigar store. He was compelled to close up the gambling house. Pete Barlow, also named by Judge Dearth, W’as permitted to run, wide open. Stout naturally objected to such discrimination. Unlike most of the so-called “liberal element,” Art Stout does some thinking for himself. Hhe stepped out openly in the campaign and opposed the machine candidates endorsed by the underworld. Stout openly fought McAuley for sheriff and Stout w f as arrested by the sheriff the day after the election. Rum games for checks are openly played in fifty places in Muncie. The proprietors of these places have been allowed to violate the law in return for their political support of machine candidates. It is significant that out of the five hundred or more car games going in Muncie the night after the election, Art Stout’s place should have been picked out as the only one to be raided and arrested. As the Post-Democrat has frequently remarked, the Billy Williams machine is an engine of oppression and protection. It protects its own pet criminals but turns the law loose on any violator who balks on carrying out the political orders of the machine.
