Indianapolis, Ind., July 9.—In reply ing to John W. Kern, Tom Taggart’s attorney, who declared that the raiding of the casinos at French Lick Springs and West Baden was a political move. Attorney General Charles W. Miller scored Taggart and his associates. • "Mr. Kern says tho casino Is In no way connected with the hotel, the building being built simply for bowling and billiards and situated on the com pany's grounds," said Mr. Miller. "I wonder how nineteen slot machines got into the building that was erected fop bowling and billiards. I wonder why there was a second story, divided Into various rooms, where roulette wheels, poker tables, klondlko tables, lceno out fits, bookmakers' tables and complete pool polling paraphernalia wero ar ranged and Immense blackboards placed on tho walls. "Just think of it. Last March the board of directors passed a resolution authorizing the execution of a lease ->f this building and directing a clause to bo inserted prohibiting gambling. Does any man in Indiana believe that such lease was made In good faith- and that Taggart and Lee W. Sinclair thought of such a thing os prohibiting gambling, which for years has been conducted in these casinos? Certainly not. "That recreation and amusement features are ‘both varied and unusual* is set forth conspicuously in the liter ature of the French Lick Springs re sort and Thomas Taggart and his counsel knew of the unusual features at tho time of the execution of the March lease. "With the open, flagrant, notorious violations of the laws of the state un der the noses of Taggart and Sinclair and tho men who speak for them, It appeal to the people to nav that It was a political trick? How ridiculous. How absurd. "When the raid was made, men Just Jumped out of the second story and ran away. Two of them have been arrested. E. Derry, the gambler In charge, was caught nt French Lick Springs, eight gamblers at West Baden and two carloads of gambling device ere captured and shipped to Paolt. "If Mr. Kern cares to designate this as a 'grand stand play* no one will de prive him of that great privilege. Thero is no politics In this move ment. The local authorities should have wiped these casinos out <>f <*x- istenco years ago and this kind of business must be stopped." Americans to Honor Baby Prince By Private Leased Wire.

The taking of subscriptions for stock has already be gun, and tho promoters bellevo that actual operations will be In pn-gre^s iffiIn Mx months. It was further decided by the direct ors at their meeting that tho $200,000 bo raised In 7 por cent preferred stock for the purpose of building and equip ping the plant and with each $100 share of preferred stock the subscriber Vffl nulfl flit Oteros of common stock at $20 a sbare as a bonus.

I’ve mor* than a dozen, but that's my company one." He seated himself on the-floor with hie hack to tha wall and hie legs crossed, and went on talking easily; ha aoon put Jurgis on ■ friendly foot ing—he was evidently a man of the world, used to getting on, and not too { >foud to hold conversation with a mere a bo ring man. He drew Jurgis out. one unmentionable thing; and then (ie told stories about bis own life. He was a great one for stories, not always of the choicest. Being sent to Jell had apparently not disturbed hie cheerful- neaa; he had "don# time" twice before, It seemed, and ha took tt all with a frolic welcome. What with women and wine and the excitement of hie va cation, a man could afford to rest now and then. Naturally the aspect of prison life waa changed for Jurgla by the arrival of a cellmate. He could not turn hie face to the wall and sulk. He bad to ■peak when he was spoken to. Nor could he help being Interested In the conversation of Duane—the first edu cated man with whom, he had aver talked. How could he help listening with wonder while the other told of midnight ventures and perilous es cape*. of feasting* and orgies, of for tunes squandered In a night? Tha young fellow had an amnsed contempt for Jurgts. aa a sort of working mul*. He. too, had felt the world's Injustice, but instead of bearing If patiently ha had struck back, and struck hard. Ha was striking all the time. Thera waa war between him and society. Ha waa ■ genial freebooter, living off the ene- I my, without fear or shame. He was , ov .

Hla story came out, not in tha first day, nor the second, but In the long hours that ilnicK'--! Ity, In tvhi.-h tti'-v h.-nl nothin* to do but tnlk, ant] nothin* to talk of but themselves. Jack Duano wits from the East; In- v, us a collegc- bred man—had been studying electri cal engineering. Then bis father hud met with mlsfortuno In business and killed himself; and thero hod been Ills mother and a younger brother and sis ter. Also, thero was an Invention of Duane's; Jurgis could not understand It clearly; but It had to do with tele graphing, and it was a very Important thing—there were fortunes In It, mil lions of dollars. And Duane had been robbed of it by a great company, and >t tangled up In lawaulta and loat all Is money. Then somebody had given him a tip on a horse race and lie had tried to retrlav* hla fortune with another per son's money and had to run away, and all the rest had come from that. Tha other aeked him what had led him to safe-breaking—to Jurgla a wild and ap palling occupation to think about. A man ha had mat, hie cellmate had re plied—one thing leads to another. Didn’t he ever wonder about hla fam ily? Jurgis aeked. Sometimes, the other answered, but not often—he didn't allow It. Thinking about It would make It no better. This wasn't a world In which a man had any busi ness with a family; sooner or later Jurgla would find that out also and glv* up the fight and shift for himself. Jurgis was so transparently what he pretended to be that hla cellmate was as open with him as a child; it waa pleasant to tell him advanturea, h* waa ao full of wonder and admiration, he was ao new to tha ways of tha coun try. Duane did not even bother to keep back names and places—ha told all hla triumphs and his failures, his love* and hla griefs. Also he Intro duced Jurgis to many of the other prisoners, nearly halt of whom he knew by name. The crowd had al ready given Jurgis a name—they .called him "the atlnker." This was cruel, but they mtant no harm by It, and he took It with a good-natured grin.

In one way; and yet It was pleasant to see him, all In penitential plasters. He and the company lawyer, who was with him, came and took seats within ~* railing; and a minute later called Jurgis' name, and the K lice man Jerked him to his feet and I him before the bar, gripping him tightly by the arm, lest he should spring upon tha boas. Jurats listened while the man *n and told his story, Ths wife of ths prisoner had been employed In a de pertment near him, and bad been dla charged for Impudence to him. Half an hour later he had been violently at tacked, knocked down and almost chok ed to death. He had brought wit uvea, out tins wus me nisi 11me. mat he had ever bean splashed by their filth. This Jail was a Noah's ark of tha city'* crime—there were murderers, "hold-up men" and burglars, smbes stars, counterfeiters and forgers, biga mists, "shop lifter#," "confidence men,' patty thieves and pickpockets, gam blers, and procurers, brawlers, beggars, tramps and drunkards; they were black and whits, old and young, Americana and natives of every nation under the sun. There were hardened criminals and Innocent men too poor to give ball; old men, and boys, literally not yat In thslr teens. They were ths drainage of ths great festering ulcer of society; they were hideous to look upon, sickening to talk to. All lira had turned to rottenness end stench In them—love was a beastliness, Joy was a snare, and God was an Imprecation. They strolled here and-there about the courtyard and Jurat* listened to them.

Into this wild beast tangle these men had been borne without their consent, they had taken part In It bacausa they could nffl help It; that they were In Jail waa no disgrace to them, for the gam* had never been fair, the dice were loaded. They were swindlers and thieves of pennies and dimes, and they had been trapped and put out of the way by the swindlers and thieves of millions of dollars. To most of this Jurgis tried not to listen. They frightened him with their savage mssfery: and all the while his heart was far away, where hla loved t*red~the witness choir, took the oath, to discharge » woman”— "They will probably not be neces sary,” observed the Judge, aa ha turn ed to Jurats.

He gave place to a Nor wegian aallor, who hod lost half an ear In a drunken -brawl, and who proved to be quarrelsome, cursing Jurgl* be cause he moved In his bunk and caused tbs roaches to drop upon th* lower one. It would have been quite Intol erable, etaylng In a cell with this wild beaat, but for the fact that all dny long the prisoner* were put st work break ing atone. Tan day* bf hla thirty Jurgl* spent thus, without hearing a word from hla family; then on* day a keeper came and Informed him that there waa a vis itor to see him. Jurgl* turned white, and to weak at tha knee* that he could hardly laava hla cell. The man led him down the corridor and a flight of steps to the vlaltors’ room, which was barred Ilk* ■ cell. Through the grating Jurats could see some on* sitting In a chair, and as he cams Into tha room the person started up, and ha saw that It waa llttlo Bt*h- Islovas. At th* sight of some one from home th* big fallow ncariy went to pieces—he had to steady himself by a chair, and he put hla other hand to hla forehead, aa If to dear away a mist. "Well,” he aald, weakly. Little Stanlslovo* was also tremb ling, and all but too frightened to speak. "They—they sent me to tell II. you”— he said, with a gulp. "Well?" Jurat* repealed. He followed the boy's glance n where the keeper was -lauding watch Ing them. “Never'mlnd that." Jurgl cried, wildly. "How are they?" "Ona Is very sick," .stnnUlovaa said "and we are-almost starving. W* can' get along; we thought you might In able to help us." Jurgis gripped the chair tighter there were bead* of perspiration on lili forehead, and Ids hand shook.

And then Marija"— A sob choked Htanlslovae, and lie ■ t"i.i-1 “Wlmt'• th.- ni.liter with MurtJaT" cried Jurgl*. "Hhe'a cut her hand!" said the boy. "Hits'* cut It baq, this lime, worse then before. Hhe can't work, and It's all turning green, and the company doctor says ahe may—she may have to havo It cut off. And Mgrlja cries all the time—her money Is nearly all gom-, too, and we can't pay the rent nnd the Interest on th* house; and we have no coal, and nothing more to eat, and tha man at the store, he says”— The little fellow stopped again, be ginning to whttpper. "Go on!" the other panted In frenzy—"Oo on!" I—I Will,” sobbed Htanlslovae. "It's so—ao cokl all tha time. And last .Sun day It snowed again—a deep, deep ■now—and 1 couldn’t—couldn't get to work." 'God!” Jurgis half shouted, and ha took a step toward th* child.
