Well-known gambler to the detention
hospital aboard his ship following a
spirited little party in the smoking
room, when fists were brought into
action.
But where men have dropped cards
and dice, women have taken them up.
The women are known to Eddie and
to other detectives who help him
watch the piers, but the problem is to
catch them.
One big liner recently came into
port and Eddie, as usual, met it at
Quarantine. He lost himself as soon
as he was aboard. But by the time
the liner had reached the pier, he
popped into view, sore and disgusted,
with disappointment easy to be read
in his face.
"I lost 'the Duchess* agam," he
grumbled.
His story was brief. He had receiv-
ed a wireless tip that there was a wo-
man aboard, aristocratic and cultur-
ed; that r.he had been very sweeet to
wit them, or else they won't com- town.

Wednesday to see if they could get
trace of the car, not knowing that it
had been found in Hobart. They re-
turned Wednesday night.
It is generally believed that some
one took the car for a joy ride, and
upon returning to town was afraid to
venture back with it to the place from
which it had been removed.
JURY FAILS TO AGREE
In the case of the state against
Virgil Martin, wherein the defendant
was charged with violating the rules
of the road, the jury before whom the
case was tried Thursday afternoon, in
Justice of the Peace W. L. Hunter s
court failed to agree on a verdict, and,
therefore was discharged.
The defendant was acused of having
run into Dallas Beaver's car, by driv-
ing on the wrong side of the road.
Hence the prpseeution.
No date for another trial has been
set. However, it is understood that
the matter will be retired at an early
date.

Lee M. Russell, governor of Mississ-
ippi, is expected to be written at the
term of the Hinds county circuit court
which met today, with the hearing of
a suit for $100,000 damages filed by
Miss Frances Cleveland 1! irk head, of
New Orleans La., stenographer and
former secretary to Mr. Russell,
charging the governor with seduction,
breach of promise and responsibility
for a criminal operation.
The charges made by Miss Birkhead
thus far have resulted in a legislative
investigation of allegations made by
Mr. Russell that the suit was inspired
by agents of what he termed "out-
lawed" fire insurance concerns; trans-

COMPLETE CONCRETE WORK.
The concrete core of the dam at
Northwest lake to prevent wave ac-
tion from washing away the dirt has
been completed by the Ajax Construc-
tion Co. The concrete was laid at an
angle of 45 degrees.
This completes the work at Bur-
ford's lake and at Nortwest lake. The
new 14 inch cast iron flow line is
completed ,except for laying about
two cars of piping at the lower end
near the pumping station. .
With a week or 10 days the low
lift pumping station will be com-
pleted, and if the water in Little Elk
continues to flow, the pump will be
started an 1 the surplus water poured
into the Northwest lake.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., Sept.
19.—H. H. Schutz, federal crop statis-
tician with the Oklahoma state board
of agriculture, has i>een promoted to
have charge of the federal crop sta-
tistical bureau fcr the entire South-
•vest, with headquarters at Houton,
Texas, according to word recently re-
vived here from W ashington.
Mr. Schutz has been in Oklahoma
several years. He said he would go
to Houston as soon as his successor
here has been named. The appoint-
is to house the Gennadius Library re-
cently presented by loannes Genn-
adius to the American School of Class-
ical Studies.
Speeches were made by the Prime
Minister, who read the letter of Elihu
Root, Chairman of the Trustees of the
Canregie Corporation, announcing the
grant and endorsing the purposes of
the Gennadius Foundation at the
American School, and by several
prominent deputies.
It i3 the consensus of opinion here
by those who are acquainted with the
Gennadius Library, now in London,
that it ha3 no equal in the world as a
library illustrating Hellenic civiliza-
tion; and that the American School by
its possession occupy a unique po-
sition among the learned brdies cr.
