As soon as the engineers are gone, say the Marylanders. the markers across Tyler's creek will be torn up and if there are any killings they will seek a blood vengeance.

To many of my readers it will not, of course, be inknown that I and others have for a long time entertained the belief that it was to Scandinavia we should look for the grave of Lord Kitchener.

During the weeks which followed the disaster which robbed England of her great war leader, many hodies were thrown up on that wild coast. one of which, there werc reasons to believe, was that of the earl himself. his possibility had, as a matter of | fact, been suggested at intervals ever since the disaster. It had been clearly stated that among the bodies found by fishermen on the Norweglan coast in the Summer of 1916 tall, well built officer with an unusual uniform of greenish khaki of the best quality'—just like that which Lord Kitchener was wearing—"and a line of ribbons much tattered and dis-| colored.” | Doctor Confirmed Reports. !

A pair of “wrong' dice, one of which contained only treys and fives, and the other, deuces, fours and sixes, was seized last night by Capt. Burlingame's flying squadron in a rald on the second floor of 1724 Four teenth street, when 16 men were ar- rested and charged with permitting saming because none could say who was conducting the game. William Jenkins, in whose apart- ment the raid was staged, admitted, according to Capt. Burlingame, that he had rented the apartment to “some one” for the evening At the second precinct, Capt. Bur- lingame lined up the men and asked each one who was in-charge of the game. When each of them denied knowledge he held each on a charge of permitting gaming under $100 col- lateral. The trick dice seized are known to police as ‘“losing bones,” as the re- sult of their make-up ix a loss to the one handling the dice. They are pro- duced and nsed when the “house’ wants to recoup on a losing evening. Burlingame told the 16 arrested men exactly how they could be vie- timized by the use of such hones,” and his explanation drew whistles of chagrin and amazement from his au-| dience. There was more amazement when Burlingame announced that $100 would be needed by each of them as collateral 1o get out of the station house. Some were able to dig it up.

Burlingame on the raid were Policemen Heide and Rone ‘and Prohibition Agent T. T. Hartman, who was on hand in case any lquor might be seized on the premises, Capt. Burlingame, somewhat sur- prised that none could identify the “house man,” expressed the opinion that he was probably among a few who escaped the police guard in the confusion at the beginning of the raid, MAN FOUND IN A COMA.

Fox Hounds, Trailing Leopard, Find Rabbit Tracks Simply Irresistible By the Associated Press RED BANK, N. J., August 7.—The hunt for the leopard which escaped from a private zoo at Middletown . was called off for tonight when darkness and the misfortunes of a lest trail overtook the posses on the outskirts of Nut Swamp, several miles south of Lincroft.

The posse followed what appeared to be tracks of a large cat until it came upon an asphalt road which runs along the swamp. The leopard evidently had crossed the road into Nut Swamp.

Details of the task of lining up the National Aeronautic As- soclation membership throughout the country to vote for Mitchell at the forthcoming election have been dwelt upon for more than a month and his backers already claim a ma- jority of 75 per cent of the convention. While Mitchell is being boosted for the job, the National Aeronautic As- sociation is being severely criticized for al'eged failure to carry out its ob- jects and aims. In addition, charges are openly made that the “high rank” of the Navy. controls it entirel d as long as this “condition ts America never will be first in the air.

PRESENT ENIDY OL-TINE DANEE Top of the Notch Shakes With Merriment as Ancient Steps Are Stepped. BY J.

Strains of old-fushioned dance tune: the resonant tome of the prompter’s voice as he calls the figures for the «quadrilie, the Lady Wgshington reel and other old dances, little known now, were wafted across the road from the little hall above Miss Flor- ence Cilley's cross-roads store ears of the President and Mrs. Cool idge on the piazza of the old home stead. It was a small room on the firs floor of the building where the Presi dent was born that the dance was held. The room is known at the notch as the “town hall.”" There the Presi dent transacted his duties as Chief Executive the first time he came to Plymouth after becoming President. But tonight it's a dance hall. Small Space Cramps Style. The country swains and their best girls from miles around have gather- ed. Dances are not very frequent in the hill country of Vermont. Tonight's jollification s the first of its kind held at the Notch for nearly a year and, naturally enough, it drew a big crowd. The dancers had a hard time moving about. The boys and girls need lots of room or else their style is_cramped. It can handly be said that this dance at the Notch was solely in honor of the presence of Plymouth's distinguished son and his popular wife. It is serving, however, as the only festivity provided to celebrate the home-coming of the Executive and the First Lady. Although the affair was advertised not to start until 9 o’'clock, and to be concluded at midnight, buggies and carriages and automobiles with their happy loads started arriving long in advance. Some had come from great distances and wanted to make sure they missed none of the fun. Dances in this section are fun, too. more than mere dancing. screams.
