SECRETLY GAMBLES
. "Washington. May 27; With his prisoner. Miss Josephine Dennis, a grayhaired woman of sixty-four, Deputy United States Marshal Fletcher arrived
here today from Clifton, Ariz., where
he arrested her a few days ago. The prisoner wore handcuffs.
On March 19 last Miss Dennis was
arrested here on a charge of conduct
ing a secret saloon and gambling bouse
in conectlon with a dress making es
tablishment. Fletcher, then not an of
fleer of the law, became her bondsman in the sum of $1,500. When her case
waft called she had disappeared.
Fletcher thereupon became active,
traced the woman to Arizona, had him
self appointed a deputy marshal, went
west and arrested her as a bond jump
er and fugitive. He will save $1,500.
At the Murray. A look at the personnel of the minstrel men at the Murray will readily explain why every performance at that popular house this week is well
attended and that each number on the excellent bill receives such hearty show of appreciation. The black face artists are usually entertaining but in Hufford and Connelly you have a pair which are ' in a class to themselves. Evans and Evans are the clever terpsichorean artists. The three troubadours have a little turn that always pleases. The singing of Chas. Van, of Joe Simons, of Ollie James and in fact all the vocal music is of a pleasing character. Dell Chain as interlocutor, and in other capacities is certainly "the minstrel man." The added attraction, "In a Bit of Automobiltng" as. presented by Baader-LaVello Trio is a fine performance of Bkilled bicycle riding. Miss LaVelle is one of the finest lady cyclists and without doubt the most beautiful performer that has been in Richmond. Their
appearance In an auto on the stage is a surprise and produces some startling results. The motion pictures are a worthy feature of the excellent bill this week.

It's local testimony and can be investigated: Dallas Cassel. 711 S. Eighth St, Richmond, Ind., says: "About fifteen years ago I suffered from kidney trouble, brought on by heavy lifting. I was very weak, and subject to dizzy headaches and I thought I would never be well again. Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. O.

RAILWAY MEN MEET
Interurban Officials of Three States Gather in Toledo for Two-days' Session.
THEY TALK OF FRANCHISES
Toledo, O., May 27. The Central Electric Railway association, com
posed of trolley magnates of Ohio, In
diana and Michigan, began a two days
session here yesterday. Edgar S. Neth
ercutt of Chicago, talked on "The Val
uation of Operating Properties," and
declared the relation between the pub-
lice and the public service corporation
is undergoing a change. "New grants which may be made un
der an indeterminate franchise will involve the valuation of the property to
determine the investment," he said.
"Settlements of this form practical ly
amount to a determination of the rate,
Reduction of the rate below a certain point will result either in a reduction
in the service or the return of investment, unless the municipality assumes part of the construction costs. What
is then saved in fare is made up in taxation. The man who has no property, but patronizes the public service
corporation does bo chiefly at the ex
pense of the man who has taxable
property. "
A universal car- stop sign painted
white with black letters, was advo
cated by R. N. Hamming of Columbus,
E. F. Schneider general manager of
the Cleveland, Columbus and South
western, in a paper on "Prevention of Accidents," took the advanced ground that the cause of accidents primariy is
due to the failure to teach the human
element its obligation. Discipline, he
maintained, counted for little. Men have to be taught. The old school method of dealing with accidents, he
said, followed the practice that if you could not sandbag a victim after you
had injured and maimed him, fight
him.
There were about 100 interurban officials present today. The officers of
the association are George Whysall, president; A. L. Neereamer, secretary;
A. W. Brady, first vice president; W.
S. Whitney, second vice president

"In cases where the number of men
asked for is unusually large, or where there are any other indications of any possible labor troubles, we require the applicant for help to make a statement to the persons we refer to him as to whether or not there Is any strike or any labor trouble of any kind at the institution seeking help. In ail
cases we give the applicants for work an opportunity to have full knowledge of the actual conditions, and the ques
tion of accepting or rejecting any position is for them to decide. So far there have been no calls In casas where there were labor troubles of any kind. "Cpon the great army of workers and the army of boys who are growing into manhood and who will soon be out in the world to battle for themselves, we would impress the necessity and the expediency of learning and mastering some trade. A glance will show the great number of calls which this bureau has received for skilled workmen, and which we were unable to fill, either because we had no one registered for the place, or because the person registering were not proficient in their line. In the 574 positions offered and the 1,639 applicants for work will be seen 111 positions not filled and 1,176 applicants not placed because either the applicant did not fit the position or the position did not fit the applicant "We have had some excellent elec-
BOY'S PRANK SERIOUS
Cord Across Street Results in Facial Injury to Mrs. Clarence Mayhew.
AUT0M0BILISTS PROTEST
The small boy nuisance against which automobilists of Richmond have protested time and again seems to have reached its culmination on Wednesday when a prank resulted in a very serious injury to Mrs. Clarence Mayhew. 814 North D street Mrs.
Mayhew and her husband were driv
ing on North Tenth street near D, where a crowd of youngsters had stretched a heavy cord across the street just at the height of their heads, and Mrs. Mayhew received a stinging cut in the eye. The machine was stopped and her husband gave
chase, catching two of the boys who
gave their names as Benton Barlow and Russell Alexander. The matter was reported to the police and the boys, together with other members of the gang, were reprimanded by Chief Gormon.
DRAWS STIFF SENTENCE. John W. Higgins, who was arrested in this city on May 20 on a charge of wife and child desertion at the request of the Dayton authorities, and returned to Dayton, was sentenced this week to serve six months in the work house and given a fine of $200 and costs.

trical positions offered; we have located a number of first class engineers and firemen; we always have a list of positions open tot machinists and skilled mechanics, with not enough people qualified to fill them. Hospitals and institutions of various kinds have been benefited by our bureau. We note the tendency of those who have been on the far mto want to return to the farm, and we attribute this condition to the increased cost of living in the cities and towns and to the advanced prices of farm products." The figures show that during ,the three months there were 1.639 applicants for work. There were 1,183 men, 367 boys and S9 women and girls; 315 men, 125 boys and 23 women and girls secured work. Positions were offered to 404 men, 126 boys and 44 women and girls.

THE COLORADO DESERT. 8tuntd Tree Forms and Its Petrified Forests. In places in the Colorado desert are Stream beds where perhaps once In several years heavy rains In distant mountains will cause water to flow for a short time. In these dry water courses several varieties of stunted tree forms are often found. The desert willow, which resembles the willow with which we are familiar, though smaller in size; the ral Terde, or green tree, a tree which is a bright green from trunk to tip of limb In every twig, and the iron wood, so dense in fiber that it turns an ax's edge, are the principal varieties. They are rarely above twenty feet high and, like all desert vegetation, have not a leaf. They are apparently outcasts from the two great tree divisions, deciduous and citrus, for they have leaves neither to lose nor to keep. These may be called the living dogs of the tree family. We will find here also the dead lions. Not far from the mountain range we will come upon the remains of what were once extensive forests of gigantic trees, now turned to stone and lying as they fell centuries ago. , The great trunks, perfect in grain, knot and bark fiber, cumber the ground in tangled confusion In those places which have been protected from the drifting sand, giving evidence that what is bow a desert was once upon a time a tropical wilderness.
