Andrews, state fire warden, 'and] Professor Green, pro- fessor of "forestry” at the University of Minnesota, will make a visit to several points along Red lake, where there are_exceptionally fine bodies of standing pine timber, for the pur- pose of securing data relative there, to, and also to notice what, if any danger there is from possible fire de- stroying the timber in that north country.

BOAT'S LICENSE REVOKED Government Strikes Blow at Chicagq Gambling Syndicate. Washington, July 9.—By the revo- cation of the passenger certificate of the steamboat City of Traverse the government has dealt a heavy blow_to the alleged gambling syndicate of the city of Chicago. The City of Traverse leaves Chicago' each day and anchors in Lake Michigan near the lines of intersection of the states of Illinois, Indlana and Michigan and it is said conducts there gambling _ operatlons. It is alleged results from the various racetracks of the country are received by wireless telegraphy and the steam- boat, it is said, is virtually a-floating poolroom, The authorities of the city of Chicago have endeavored to sup- press the evil, but their efforts have been in vain. appealed to the federal government, asking it to take steps that would sup- press the evil. Acting Secretary Mur- ray of the department of commerce and labor instructed Collector of Cus- toms Ames at Chicago that if the facts ‘were as répresented he should cancel the vessel’s license at once. This in- volves the cancelling of the steamer’s passenger certificate as well, This action is taken under the authority of the revised statutes of the United Btates, which specifically provide that & license granted to any vessel shall not be considered in force any. longer than the vessel 18 engaged in the employment for which she s spe- the- polson.

Crowd Cheers Madly When Mayor Schmitz Is Sentenced. DEFENDANT MAKES PROTEST Frequently Interrupts Court to Object * in Strong Language to “the Delivery of a Lecture Instead of Pronounce- ment of Sentence.” San , Francisco, July 9.—Mayor BEu- gene E. Schmitz, convicted of extor: tion, was during the day sentenced to. five years in the penitentiary. When the 'sentence was pronounced 'there ‘was a remarkable outburst of applause from, the hundreds of- persons who crowded Judge Dunne's courtrooms As the last words of the sentence fell from the judge's lips the great crowd that had stood during the dra- matic scene sent up a thunderous cheer. ¢ “Good for you,” shouted a man in the back of the room. His ejaculation was echoed and re-echoed ' by one after another of the spectators. Sev- eral threw their hats into the air and others scrambled upon chairs to look over the shoulders of the crowd. The greatest confusion prevailed. Attor- ney Fairall, of the defense, raising his voice above the din, called out to Judge Dunne: ““Your honor, this cheering is a very unseemly occurrence.” “Well,” retorted Judge Dunne with spirit, “if we had a sheriff worthy of the name it would have been stopped instantly.” Without Parallel in Court. The sentencing of the convicted mayor was in one respect without a parallel in court. Half a dozen times Judge Dunne was interruptéd by Schmitz, who protested in strong words against the “delivery of a lec- ture Instead of the pronouncement ot,‘C judgment.” He accused the court of unnecessarily humiliating him ' and giving opportunity for further humil- iation by the reporting of his remarks in the press. Once, replying to.the prisoner, Judge Dunne said: “Such brazen effrontery was prob- ably no more than should be expected and it is the duty of the court to bear it in patience.” il At another time Attorney Metson of the defense interposed a vigorous ob- Jection in support of his client “to the court’s lecture.” Judge Dunne’s reply was that Mr. Metson, instead of interrupting the proceedings, ought to be given a day in court to answer the charge that he had attempted to tam- per with the jury that convicted Schmitz. Metson, restraining him- self, calmly answered in the same spirit, saying that he was ready to answer any charge that was made against him. Judge Dunne warned Metson that another interruption would provoke a jail sentence for con- temnt. e WATCHES c.ou-' "CONTEST. Rockefeller Trudges Along in Midst of Crowd of Enthusiasts, Cleveland, July 9.—John D. Rocke- fe'ler, the Standard Oil magnate, cele- brated his sixty-fifth birthday by watching the play for the Olympia cup on the Euelid club links. Shed- ding his coat, rolling up his trousers and jamming his soft straw hat firmly on the back of his head the man re- puted to be the richest man in the world trudged along in the midst of a crowd of golf enthusiasts watching the play of the veteran Travis. *“Why don't you play in the tourna ment?” asked a newspaper man. “Oh, I'm_getting too old, my boy,” sald Mr. Rockefeller. “It's too much of a nervous strain.” “WeH, Travis took up the game pretty late in life,” commented the newspaper man. } “Yes, that’s true,” Mr. Rockkefeller answered and then added: “That’s an argument in favor of us veterans, but he is not so old as I am.” STRIKERS ARE DISORDERLY Troops and Police on Duty at Rotter- 7 dam Docks. Rotterdam, Holland, July 9.—The attitude of the dock. laborers, who struck against the use of elevators in unloading grain ships, is increajingly militant. Attacks on the men who re- fused to join them are so frequent and threats to damage ships and other property are so persistent that a large force of cavalry has been posted on the quays and police patrols have been detailed for the protection of steamers loading or unloading.
