SHERIFFS PARTY ARRESTS NINE MEN IN GAMBLING CAMP
Prominent Business Men and Farmers Caught in a Poker Game. , . . (Continued from Page One ) sheriff stepped into the door of the tent followed by Prosecutor Reller, and deputies Mote and Miller. The men pushed back their chairs, but said nothing until Sheriff Bayer remarked, "Well, we've got you now. Finish that hand to see who gets the money on the table." Caldwell Wins "Pot." The hand was played by those who "stuck" as though nothing unusual had happened. " The "ante" had been put into the "pot", before the sheriff arrived and the men drew cards and bet on their hands. Cassel Caldwell won the "pot with "Jack's up." The "pot" contained $9 which was pocketed by the winner. Harry White was returning to his home from this city, when James Braxton, called to him. "Don't you want a bottle of beer, Harry?" Braxton asked. "Well, yes; I don't care If I do," White replied. He hitched his horse and accompanied Braxton to the tent. He had Just been handed a bottle of beer when the sheriff and his party entered the tent, and said, "Gentlemen, you're under arrest." Braxton has been operating the camp, receiving a small "kitty" from each pot. Prosecutor Reller stated this morning that the gambling camp has been Braxton's means of living for some time and recommended that he be heavily fined. Each Fined $5 No hearing was given the men In police court as they had already pleaded guilty to the charge of gaming. The prosecuting attorney gave the facts of the case to Mayor Zimmerman who fined the men the minimum of $5. Miniature "Monte Carlo." The camp was called a mlnature "Monte Carlo." Reller testified that the men who raided the camp had heard such expressions as "I'll raise you a dollar," "I've got four Jacks," "Hot deck," "Ante up" and other expressions common in a poker game. He stated that the game was more than a "pen a point" or "five cent ante" and that the men were engaged in gambling for high stakes. The arrests are the first steps towards putting an end to gambling on a large scale in this vicinity. Every effort will be made by authorities to put a stop to running organized gambling camps and to chance games where high stakes are played for. No ban has been put on parlor games of poker, euchre, hearts or fan tan as poker and "easy weezy" are the targets of the authorities. Only three or four of the gamblers arrested have been regular visitors at the camp, the remainder having "dropped in" on the invitation of friends, it was said. Several dozen other men have been gamblng there, and several local business men have spent their vacations there. The losses and winnings of the individual players have averaged $25 to $50 in a night's playing. "Streak of Hard Luck." There were no hard feelings between the gamblers and the sheriff's party. Those arrested stated that the authorities had merely done their duty, hut that they were "up against a streak of hard luck" in having been arrested. Following the departure of the sheriff's party Sunday morning, Braxton found a tobacco pouch belonging to Deputy Sheriff Mote. He returned this to the deputy with his compliments.

GENERAL AND SENORA MENOCAL. HAVANA, Cuba, June 30. His friends believe that Cuba will prosper under the administration of General Murio Menocal, the new President of the Island Republic. General Menocal, who was formerly Commander-in-Chief of the Cubar army, is a Conservative, and his election caused grave fears on account of the bitterness manifested by the Liberals. An attempt was made to have his election declared unconstitutional, but this play of his enemies met with failure.

THOROUGH VENTILATION OF LOBBY IS THE DEMAND MADE (Continued from Page One.)
efforts of the association to drive them into private life. Senator Nelson of Minnesota, who is a number of the lobby investigating commlttee, and who was mentioned in the Mulhall statement, tonight said he 1 would demand the privilege of instantly appearing before his associates on the committee to deny under oath that he was influenced in any way in voting on legislation. DENIAL BY WATSON. (Palladium Special) RUSHVILLE, Ind., June 30 Because he was not sufficiently advised in the premises, James E. Watson said he was not prepared to answer charges made by Col. M. M. Mulhall in a New York newspaper. The substance of the charges was that Mr. Watson had accepted money from the National Association of Manufacturers to be used for political purposes. Mr. Watson has stated many times that he received money from the National Association of Manufacturers for working in the interest of a tariff commission and that this was his sole employment during the special session of Congress in 1909. Made No Contribution. "Col. Mulhall," said Mr. Watson, "did not contribute one dollar to my gubernatorial campaign fund in 1908, nor did the National Association of Manufacturers. "J. W. McCardle of Indianapolis was my only financial backer and all the money went through his hands. No doubt members of the National Association contributed to the fund, but if they did so, it was done as individuals." Continuing, Mr. WatBon said: "Several monthB ago Col. Mulhall lo6t his position with the association and wrote me asking that I use my influence to get him reinstated. I had no influence with the association, and turned the letter over to John Kirby of Dayton, at that time president of the association. What passed between Mr. Klrby and myself I will not make public." last week of the chairmen of all the sub committees of the festival an estimate was submitted by each committee as to what amount of money would be necessary to carry on the work assigned to each committee. The apportioning of the fund is an important factor In the festival and the committee appointed for that purpose will discuss the question at some length before making a final decision. The appropriation committee is as follows: Demas S. Coe, chairman, Chas. W. Jordan, Wm. H. Romey and E. H. Harris. Intuition. Intuition has been denned as a quick method of arriving at a totally incorrect conclusion. Puck. FLAGS, 4 6 feet long

After resting on the nlr.ety-third round of the ladder for some time Saturday, the mercury, with much attending complaining and perspiration, stepped to the next notch yesterday, i according to the government th r-! mometer at the pumping station, which registered 94 degrees Reports from various places in j Wayne county show that the tempera- j ture was practically the same as in , Richmond.

such cooling thoughts as "Hottest day1 I ever saw, another affliction was) added in the nature of a famine of electric fans. This record made Sunday the second warmest day of the year, the temperature having reached 93 on the sixteenth of this month, the same as on the hottest day last year. At 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon a man living east of the city, called the Palladium office and asked how hot it was. The thermometer, hanging in the sun registered 118 degrees. The man said he had made the same reading at his home, and that before the sun went behind the clouds the mer cury stood at 128. All Fans on Duty. Persons who sought to substitute the atmospheric disturbance of electric fans for nature's breezes, found that every available fan in the city was doing business for some one else.
