BIG MONEY AT STAKE
With the arrest last night of two men on West Market stroet Chief of r^olice Drown believe.s (Tiat he ha.s two Swindlers who have fleeced gullible prcwipects out of large sums of money through the operation ot the nioney box. While no repoK* have heen re¬ ceived from persons who wore fleeced the police believe that ther must have been some victims In this section and that reports will be I'ccelved in the next few days.
Walter Shlnofskl of 173 Marcy .street, Plymouth, a miner, and An¬ thony Wolfe, a miner, giving the siunc address, are being det.ained al police headquarters tor a further In- vestig.atlon. They were arre.sted by city detectives Higgins and Nolan after persons In a West Market street hotel had reported their suspicious actions.
When arrested the men carried an envelope containing 100 new $1 bills and a score ot new J.'i bills, together with paper, cut the size of bills which Is used to demonstrate to vlcllma how- white paper can be put Into the money box and come out a second later transformed Into a perfectly good United States greenback. The police could not flnd the money-m.aking ma¬ chine und are of the opinion that they recently sold It to one of their victims who was a.stounded at the easy man¬ ner In which the money was printed. and readily handed over $2,000, the price which the swindlers genemlly charge  for one ot these  magic boxes.
Thiit the two men under arrest .at local polico headquarters might be members of an alleged gang of swin¬ dlers, some of whom are said to have swindled at lea^t four Hanover Town¬ ship men out of largo sums of money during tho past few days, is the theory upon which the local police are work¬ ing. One of the township victims Is a prominent business man. according to reports, and hc Ls alleged to havo lost $4,000. He Is said to deny the accu¬ sation, but it Is believed that he Is making the denial through embarrass¬ ment over the fact that he was victimized.
Whether he Innocently purcha.sed some worthless stones for the amount he Is said to havn lost or whether he fell vtctlra lo tho much advertised "money-box" game of which the two local prisoners are suspected. Is a question. At flrst It was believed that he was fllmflammed out of his bank roll In the samo manner as was Oeorge rollock. Ashley hotelman. who ailmit.s having paid $2,100 tor stones which he supposed to be diamonds.  .«.—

HIS ATTORNEY GLAD
Jollet. 111.. June 8.—Richard l.oeb. youtliful millionaire-slayer, lay strap¬ ped to a cot In the prison hospltnl here today babbling Incoherently and on the verge of Insanity. Thero Is no langer of death at this time, but there is a probability of the handsome youth becoming permanently Insane, Dr. Herman N. Adler, state crlmlQolog:lst, declared tonight.
While apparently on the road to re¬ covery from an attack of measles. Loeb suddenly suffered a mental col¬ lapse, attacking hla guards. Kor thirty-six hours he has heen strapped
among the progressive members of the , to his cot.    Dr. Adler and other pri.son organization.
Georgn Isaacs, vice-president of District No. 1. United Mine Workers of America, announced last night that If the executive board ot the district refuses to grant him a hearing on the prote.st that Michael Kosik ot Dupont, a candiudte for vice-president did not have sufflclent nominations, that the case would bo taken before tho dia¬ trlct convention to be held In this city the third week ot July. If the case Is not satisfactorily adjusted by the district convention lie said the case would be t.aken to I.uzerne county courts .and there will bo repetition of the Incident In 1D19 when the miners' election  was carried to the courts.
Mr. I.saacs alleges that Ko.sick, was given a place on the miners' ticket on nominations which had been "stolen" from him. He said the laws demand that a man must be nominated by flve local unions before his name can np¬ pear on tho ballot and although Koa- Ick failed to receive a legitimate nom¬ ination thnt the latter's name will appear on tho twilot. Mr. I.>*aacs snys that he haa aftidavlt.3 from the mem¬ bers ot the flve local unions which Kosick claism nominated him, to the effect that Kosick did not receive the nomination but that It went to Isaacs.  «.

Dickie's companion In the perfect crime, were sub-normal, but In differ¬ ent ways. Our experts told us that Dickie would crack under the strain of prison life—that he would not last long.

New Tork. June «.—All New York and all the nation han been talklnf; about "that school professor down In Tennessee who waa Indicted for teach¬ ing evolution." And today that pro¬ fessor, John T. Scopes, arrived In New York from Dayton, Tenn.

YounR Scopes said hn did not expf^ct testify nt hl3 trial In  Dayton  In July.
"All these sclentIst.s nnd folks who know mom than I do will do all the testlfyingr that will be done." he said, "I am a country boy, pure and simple, who was dared Into standing- for what I was taught in college."
John W. Hutler, the representative who framed the bill banning teaching of evolution, never saw a railroad road train until he wa.9 21, Scopes charged.

The "Bermuda high" Is high bar¬ ometric pressure ^vhlch this week has completely blanketed the country ea.st nf the Hockies. causing a great Influx of heated air from the tropics.
When the mercury touched 99 de¬ grees in offlcial thermometers here this afternoon It set a record for contin¬ uous hot weather, this mark having been renched for four flays In siicces- sion. The capital, with Baltimore Philadelphia and Lynchburg, Va.. set new high marks for the aes/ion at 100 degrees each on  Friday.
The wenther bureau reports that crops arc withering all over the coun¬ try and th.at damage so far Inflicted upnn both major and minor crops can¬ not be repaired fully tiy rnins. The wheat and oats crops are particularly hard hit. The "warm spell' Is esti¬ mated to have cost the f.armers many millions of dollars. Rains have been scattered and Infrequent In the great farming regions.
In the caplUl the wheels of the gor- ernment were stopped by the heat to¬ day, the 60.00 federal employes tx-lnff dUimlssed for fear the hot afternoon Bun would endanger the health of the workers.
