It could not have been the unanimous action of Wayne, In KuhnB favor for action taken there has been recent, but it has helped the movement along and braced up the Kuhn following wonderfully. They are saying nothing against Lon Mull who is an Avowed candidate further than that he is rich and given to taking things easy, while Kuhn will hustle for votes if id make speeches. . It Wayne and Fayette could settle the matter it would be settled now, but the decree has gone forth that Mull is to be supported and he will be, with little doubt, in Rush, Shelby Hancock and Decatur and possibly, jn Franklin.

MAYOR GAYNOR DROPS A BOMB ON GRAFTERS

. 'K .ft V; ; I W 8 :

Mayor Oaynor of New York, who has thrown a bomb into the camp of the police grafters who have been fattening on saloon keepers by permitting thera to violate the excise law.. Mayor after mayor and police commissioner after police commissioner, including former President Roosevelt, have tried in vain to invent a way to stop the graft. Mayor Gaynor points the solution by issuing orders to his police commissioner that he must order his police to make no more arrests for excise law violations, but submit any proof of such violation to the District Attorney of the county. This takes the matter entirely out of the hands of police captains and inspectors who have been the men to profit by the non-arrest of excise 'offenders. As the same state of affairs exists in many cities, Mayor Gaynor's action Is thought to have solved a very bard graft problem. The district attorney and the grand jury will now have the say as to violations and not a subordinate police official. The mayor ex pects his action to make excise violation more numerous perhaps, b.ut he maintains this is better than permitting a police graft system.

STARTS A CRUSADE Government Has Planned to Drive Bucket Shops From the Country.

INDICTMENTS ARE DRAWN Washington, April 2. Attorney-Gen eral Wickersham's hand has fallen heavily on the bucket-shop industry of the' United States, and within a few days a blow will be struck that will practically wipe the bucket-shop gam blers out of existence. Indictments have been prepared against three score of the most promi nent bucket-shop proprietors in a dozen cities of the country.' These indictments await only the approval of Oliver B. Pagan, Indictment expert of the department of justice. Warrants of arrest, based on the Indictments, have already been prepared. Every detail has been carefully looked after. At a given time, only several days distant, these warrants will be served simultaneously on the accused men in the big cities where they are located. It is planned by the department of justice to make a clean sweep. New York, New Jersey. Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Chicago and St. Louis are all included in the list of cities to be cleaned up, and it is learned that the men listed for indictment and arrest in these cities include several millionaire operators, a group of wellknown bookmakers and other pseudo financiers who have been deriving a profitable business through the operation of bucket shops. Manifestly all of the details of this wide-spread campaign against the bucket shops can not be told at this time. It can be said, however, that not less than SO arrests are planned, and so complete are the arrangements that it is not believed a single man who is wanted will be able to elude the marshals who will be armed with the warrants. At a signal agreed upon notice to strike will be flashed from the office of the attorney-general in Washington, and simultaneously the marshals will descend upon the bucketshop men in each of the cities in which the cases have been worked up. The campaign is the result of an investigation conducted under the personal direction of Attorney-General Wickersbam, by Chief Finch, of the investigation bureau ? of the department of justice, and his efficient corps of investigators, who have turned the bucket-shop business in6ide out. In every section of the country these Investigat ors have got down to bed rock and they are in possession of a mass of evi dence that will almost certainly convict and land in prison all of the dominating figures of this species of the gambling industry. - , FUNERAL HEXT WEEK Mrs. Howard Dill Will be Laid to Rest at Ear I ham Next Tuesday.
