SEVEN DRAW FINES FOR PLAYING POKER

A sociable twenty-five-cent ' limit poker game was raided at the home of Frank Wilson, 936 North C street, regular army veteran of Indian wars, late last night, by William Eversman, president of the police board; Chief Goodwin and Patrolmen Little, Menke and Remmert. This morning, through Sergeant MoNally, of the police, William Suters, George Kindler, Joseph Torbeck, Albert Putthoff, Sam ' Dunlap, Walter Marshall and Sidney Nester, entered pleas of guilty of sitting in a gambling game and taking part in a certain poker proceeding in which Suters acquired BO cents. . They were fined $5 and costs, which they paid. Wilson entered, a plea of not guilty to a charge of permitting a gambling game to take place in his home. He said he had for some time permitted the "boys" to play cards at his home, but whether they gambled at these social sessions in his residence he did not know. He said he nerer played cards with them. He drew a fine of $25 and costs and made the payment. Prosecutor Reller i asked Wilson if he knew what a poker game was. With all the scorn an army Teteran could put into a reply to such a question, Wilson answered that he was most certainly familiar with the great national indoor sport, concluding that in his younger days he had participated in many a "sitting." Chief Goodwin testified that reports of poker playing at the Wilson home had been received at headquarters several times, and yesterday afternoon it was reported to him that a game was in progress. Wilson demanded the name of the informant, but the chief refused to disclose his identity. "Probably one of your well-wjshing neighbors,' put in the prosecutor. Early last evening two officers made an investigation and reported that the game was going on. About 11 o'clock the house was surrounded and Officer Remmert rapped on the back door. In a short time it was cautiously opened and the police entered. Poker chips and cards on a large table told the story, and the players admitted that they had been playing for money. WILSON TALKS WAR f BY LEASED WIRE1 WASHINGTON', April 23. President Wilson's first step toward an actual declaration of war against the Huerta forces was taken this forenoon when he Summoned Secretaries "Bryan, and Daniels, and Counsellor Lansing of the state department to the white house. Lansing took with him a large package of official papers and documents relating to declarations of war. Secretary Bryan on reaching his office said that he had given the president the latest dispatches from Mexico City and Vera Cruz. He declined to discuss their contents when asked whether an embargo on arms had been established, or a declaration . of war was imminent. Jlr. Bryan said: 'I can not discuss that at this time. and any announcenient concerning that feature will have to come from elsewhere." Semi-official reports are in general circulation that a general embargo on arms will be established by tonight. Word lias been received here that the Constitutionalists are Retting large shipments of arms and ammunition in the United States, and it. is feared that these may be turned against the United Staes in view of the attitude of General Carranza. i How American Women ; ! May Keep Faces Young i "The American smart woman, ages early, far earlier than the English woman," says Christian Miller, F. C. 1.. the famous English health expert. She adds that our climate "so exhilarates that you over-exer yourselves ami grow old before you know it. That same exhilarating air dries 'he skin. The skin that larks moisture grows pale and withered looking nd soon wrinkles. "The American complexion" is best treated by applying pure mercolized wax. which causes the faded, lifeless cuticle to flake off in minute particles, a little each day, until the fresh, young skin beneath is wholly in evidence. Every druggist has this wax; one ounce is sufficient. Spread on at night like cold cream, washing it off next morning. For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel; bathe the face in this. Immediately every wrinkle is affected, even he deeper lines. Both treatments ire remarkable facial rejuvenators. American, T

STRIKERS TRAP 25 IN BURNING MINE

BY LEASED WIRE TRINIDAD, Colo., April 23.- Five persons are also, trapped In the shaft of the Southwestern mine, which also has been on fire all night. According to advices received here little hope is held out here for their rescue alive. Outside the entrance to the mine strikers refuse all appeals that rescuers be permitted to enter the shaft. "Remember how the women and children burned at Ludlow," the strikers shouted. Among those trapped in the burning Empire mine, was J. S. Siple, president of the Southwestern Fuel company, with other officials, guards and five women , and three children who took refuge in the shaft house last night when strikers bombarded the mine. Later, it was charged, the strikers threw dynamite bombs into the entrance, sealing those within from all means of escape. All buildings at the mine were burned with the exception of the alrshaft, reports said. A flash of lightning early today revealed to militiamen on duty at Ludlow that thirty miners were attempting to slip in on the camp there. A machine gun was turned upon the men and five strikers were killed. The strikers are being hourly reinforced. Three hundred left here at midnight for Ludlow, where they intended attacking 100 militiamen now encamped in the Black Hills. The bodies of eleven women and two children removed from the "death pit" at Ludlow late yesterday, reached here last night. They were laid side by side on a pine table In the cellar of an undertaking establishment. Fifty-nine non-union miners were captured outside of Aguillar late last night and taken to union headquarter As soon as news of their arrest spread, miners stormed the place, demanding that they be brought out and shot.

OLD GUARD" ACTIVE

AT G. 0, P, MEET (BULLETIN.) INDIANAPOLIS, April 23. Hugh T, Miller was nominated for senator, 946 to 493 for C. H. Bookwalter, of Indianapolis. Judge Quincy A. Myers was nominated by acclamation to succeed himself on the state supreme bench., r BY LEASED WIRE INDIANAPOLIS, April 23. At 9:45 o'clock this morning the doors of Tomllnson hall were opened and there was a confused scramble of delegates to the Republican state convention for seats. An hour later the convention was called to order. Rev. J. Stansfield of Indianapolis, offered the opening prayer, and Chas. W. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, took the gavel as permanent chairman. , The hall was packed with delegates and spectators, and bands of music enlivened the opening hours of the session. Chairman Fairbanks' speech was brief, and the convention prepared to take up routine business. The platform adopted by the convention contained a tariff plank in line with the Republican national tariff policy, and assailing the Democratic tariff. The Ralston administration was scored as being extravagant. Workmen's compensation was recommended, woman suffrage was not advocated, but the convention declared in favor of putting the question of equal rights to a vote of the people. Prohibition is not mentioned in the platform. The convention condemned Wilson's administration, particularly as regards panama tolls and the Mexican troubles. A declaration in support of American patriotism in case of war with Mexico was included in the platform. It also declares in favor or majority rule in the party. Hopes of the majority of Wayne county delegates to the Republican state convention, which opened at Indianapolis yesterday, that if the "old guard" leaders would not give a helping hand to their party by absenting themselves from the convention, they would at least have no hand in directing Its proceedings, were not realized, to their keen disappointment. At the opening session- yesterday they sighed heavily when the discredited Jaems E. Watson, of Rushiville, principal figure in the Mulhall scandal, aired last fall before a senate investigation committee, and repudiated even by the reactionary New Castle Courier, arose from his conspicuous seat on the stage and delivered a brief address. Watson on the Job. Watson informed the convention that he had "only the kindliest feeling and the broadest charity" for those who left, the party two years ago, and announced that he expects to confine his efforts throughout the approaching campaign to raising his voice against the Democratic party. Wayne county delegates were also far from satisfied when they saw former Senator James A .Hemenway seated on the stage. He was another they had httfre trad-been retired to complete political oblivion. The final evidence to prove that the "old guard", which was the principal cause of ruining the Republican party in Indiana, was in control of the convention, and are the political mechanics in charge of reconstructing the party in this state, was the selection of Charles W. Fairbanks as permanent chairman of today's session. I CITY STATISTICS Births. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Hill, 416 South Twelfth street, boy. Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Lubinsky, 1019 North J street, boy.
