Aug. 19. The department of state lias learned ihac eft'oils are being made by various Amcrkaa enterprises to obtain concessions in Turkey, which would involve the investment of our capital in ihe Ottoman empire.

The lack cf r.ooquate facilities of communication, and of transit, lighting, telephone plants, harbor and irrigation works, gave reason to believe that, the parliamentary government would be ready to remedy those deficiencies.

Wright, 51, both of Turtle Creek, will be married tonight. John Hall, 62 years oid, a son of the womon by a former husband, was present at the marriage license office and declared his mother to be "of legal age." Mrs. Hall, who owns a large farm and is wealthy, created some excitement by asking Marriage License Clerk J. S. Wherrt if he would object to her taking a smoke.

Wherry told her no, whereupon she produced a clay pipe and was soon happy. She offered to bet Clerk Wherry that she would live to be 100 years old.

Louis of her daughter Ella, 19, to Clifford Dietrich, 30, a Chicago restaurant employe, jesterday. No word other than the telegram has been received. Mrs. Huells man believes the telegram is the result of another effort to throw the police and herself and husband off their trail. Huellsman, now in Chicago, said he believed Dietrich wrote to a St.

Louis friend and had him send the telegram. Huellsman said his only objection to his daughter's marriage was that some doubt exists as to Dietrich's risht to wed. He was married a number of years ago and said he secured a divorce. This is doubted. MYSTERY FOUND IN NOTE BROKER'S MONEY AFFAIRS NEW YORK, Aug.

19. More mystery was added to the sale of the Heinze collateral and the Eclipse Oil Co. collateral today by the refusal of Broker Donald L. Persch to testify in supplementary proceedings. Perch has declared he made the $7,000 loan to the Eclipse Oil Co.

for Edward F. Risbrough, a Philadelphia financier. The $13,000 collateral posted by the Eclipse Co. immediately found its way to the market. I'ersch's statement that he acted for Risbrough was denied by the district attorney's office, which declared it had affidavits that Risbrough had been on the Pacific coast lor six years.

The supplementary proceedings were on a judgment given against Persch and Risbrough, as joint signers of a note for $250. The statement was made by the attorneys for the noteholders that Risbrough. was not on the Pacific coast, but was a resident of Lancaster. and could be gotten immediately if the district attorney wished to examine him. As Persch was alleged to have acted alone in making the $7,000 Irian tn the Kclinse Co.

A problem which has been bothering Indiana officials for three years was finally disposed of yesterday when gambling devices of all captured in the raid in July, 1906, at French Lick and West Baden casinos, were demolished and burned in a large pile in this city.

Hand-carved pieces of the finest woodwork and intricate mechanisms were left to the mercy of the flames and hundreds witnessed the fire which destroyed devices valued at By special orders issued last year the proprietors of the casinos were allowed to go to Paoli and remove the 5-cent pieces from the machines, which amounted to many hundreds of dollars. They were also allowed to take their furniture, other than gambling was seized with the machines during the raid. 11AIUS ORDERED HAXLY. The raids were made during the term of former Gov. Hanly and the matter of destroying the machines was delayed until an order was received from Indianapolis early this morning.

The action of the officers is the result of a compromise effected during the trials of Edgflr Derry and George Charles at Orleans, who plwaclfd guilty to the charges of conducting gambling rooms, and a fine of $25 was assessed in each case. At that time the state served 59 affidavits, of which more than 40 were against Derry and Charles. Other affidavits were filed against employes about the places. Charges against them were dropped today. While reports have been circulated in French Lick and West Baden to the effect that gambling houses have been reopened, the state officers aro not able to substantiate the rumors and are fully convinced that gambling has seen its last day in 'the vaUy.

There was some persiflage and finally the two young chaps, who certainly did like the looks of those girls, took them into the grillroom of a big hotel and purchased a little drink all around. Then thej' had to attend to business but they desired the company of the girls in the evening. The four were still talking on the sidewalk, and the last thing the young men said was for the girls to be sure and call them up at their hotel in the evening, one of them giving one of the girls his card. The girls hailed a taxicab, saying they were going uptown, and talked for a moment with the chauffeur. Then one of them turned to the westerners and called out, "That will be all right, then, will Suposing the engagement of the evening was referred to, both youths nodded, and away went the girls.

Nobody called them up that evening, but about 9 p. m. a taxicab chauffeur hunted tip the young man who had passed out his card, and presented him with a bill for $17.75 for taxioabbing those two young women all over New York. The girls had simply shown the card to the chauffeur, telling hitr that the gentleman would pay the bill, and that was what "Is that ail right?" referred to. Paying the bill preferable to a row and a rumpus and possible notoriety as a couple of welohers, so it was paid.

And if the young men meet those gills again they will speak harshly to them? They think they will, but if it comes to a showdown you can bet they won't. The girls will them it was just a good joke, nd they will admit it, and buy another drink. The girls know their game all right, and its habits. But those lads will keep their cards in their clothes. American slang is a never-ceasing source of wonder to the British It tips him over every time he bumps into it.

Witness the experience of a middle-aged gentleman from Liverpool who is now visiting a sister in New York who married an American, many years ago and has lived on this side of the, sale marsh ever since. A family discussion was on concerning the relative merit of London and New York as places of abode, and the Briton was sticking up stoutly for Lunnon, alleging that it had Gotham beaten for hotels, for theaters, for parks, for clubs, for everything that was at all worth while. His American nephew, little Walton, finally grew disgusted with his relative's florid praise of English institutions and cut In. "Go on. Uncle Reggie," he said, "you're full of prunes!" "My word!" exclaimed LTncle Reggie, "What an extraordinary remark! I had a small dish of prunes at breakfast, but not a quantity that wduld fill me, most certainly.
