CHASING BUCKET SHOPS.

Millioniares Caught In Drag-Net of Federal Government In Various Cities. Your Uncle Samuel has taken a stand against bucket shops, and as a result five millioniares were caught last Saturday morning when at 11 o’clock special agents of the government raided offices in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and St/Louis. Promptly at the stroke of the hour twenty-nine keepers and employes of the bucket shops were caught by the government 1 agents, in conjunction with detectives in the various cities, who were armed with bench warrants issued upon indictments which had been found at W ashington. In the raid the special agents took in five millioniares who have made their fortunes out of the bucket-shop traffic. They have been associated with the business in various cities for a score of years. They are Richard E. Preusser, George Turner and Leo Meyer of the firm of Edward S. Boggs & Co., of New York, and the famous Celia Brothers, Louis and Angelo, of St. Louis, who backed the firm of the Standard Stock & Grain Company of Jersey City. Six arrests were made in Philadelphia. some of the men being arrested on the floor of the Philadelphia Consolidated Stock Ex- 1 change. The prisoners are Thos. A. Campbell, Jlenry C. Stumpt, George Turner, Harry Owens, Marshall Parrish and A. L. Ford. All were arraigned before United States Commissioner Craig. It had been intended to raid the officer of the Standard Stock & Grain Company in Jersey City, but the offices were closed early in the week. The men indicted in connection with this concern were: Edwrd Altemus, Samuel Raymond, Oscar Rappel and Robert Hall of Jersey City, Louis Celia of St. Louis, Henry C. Stumps of Philadelphia, Henry R. Duryea and his operator, Charles R. Alley. Stumps was arrested in Philadelphia. I he New York detectives say the arrests followed that of Everett Taylor by government agents in Washington. Taylor was charged with violating the national bucketshop law. At the time of Taylor’s arrest in his office it is said evidence was found connecting Boggs & Co. and some fifteen or twenty other firms said to be conducting buck-> etships. This, the United States government’s first attack upon stock gambling, has been thoroughly prepared with the greatest secrecy. Its scope practically covers the United States from the Missouri River to the Atlantic. The concerns indicted maintain more than 250 offices and branch offices located from New England to Oklahoma.

INDIANA HEMP GROWING.

D. S. Myers Will Give 325 Acres to it This Year in Northern Indiana.

South Bend, Ind., April I. The raising nd marketing of hemp is northern Indiana’s latest industry. D. S. Myres will turn his farm of 325 acres over to the growing of hemp. Myres brought from Kentucky 181 negroes, men and women, on a special train. He began his experiment last fall, when he grew a crop of 400,000 pounds, which will bring 3 to 7 cents a pound, government experts from Washington having pronounced the crop as good as any raised in the country. The negroes have been brought here to break the hemp. Inasmuch as much of the crop was raised on marsh land, owners of land on the Kankakee are watching the result with interest, and the chances are that they will follow Myer’s example next fall and turn rforthern Indiana in-

LOCAL OPTION CASE. ! Supreme Court Denied Rehearing of Case From Noblesville. The supreme court Friday overruled the petition of George McPherson, the appellant, for a rehearing of the “local option case." This is the case from Nobles-; ville, in which the validity of the county local option law was decided last December, in which three of the judges held the law constitutional and two of the judges gave a dissenting opinion. The appellant filed his petition for a rehearing and the case was briefed again by both sides, and now the court denies a rehearing without handing down any opinion, finally disposing of the case.: Legal blanks for sale at The Democrat office.
