r HOUSE YIELDS TO
BATTLESHIP PUN
Majority, in Caucus. Agrees to
Compromise on One New
Dreadnought.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. House
Democrats late yesterday agreed in i
caucus to recede from their "no bat-
■ tieship program" in this session and to
permit the battleship champions to vote
for one such vessel. The decision came
after a long tight in the house for no
battleships Unlike the four preceding
caucuses, there was an absence of bit
terness and by a rising vote of 95*t<>
11 the resolution of recession was put
through.
It is expected the senate will agree
to the one-battleship plan, ending the
deadlock over the naval bill. While
the solid support of the majority will
not be given to the battleship program,
leaders are confident they will have fat
more than the necessary strength when
aligned with the Republican "friends
of the navy.”
The resolution embodying the reces
sion states that no member is bound to
vote for one battleship should he not
desire to do so.
An effort will he made to have the
warship to he authorized the largest
. and most formidable fighting craft ever
laid down The vessel, if its sponsors
win their tight, would be equal in fight
ing ability to any two battleships below
the dreadnought size and far superior
to any of the latter class now afloat.
A sharp fight is expected on this pro
gram. however.

When an article is sold a druggist ,

Liver Tone came on the market the •
sale of calomel has gone 'way down, i
The reason Is simply this: Dodson's

JACK ROSE TELLS HOW
PURPOSE TO KEEP OUT
OF GAMBLING FAILED
By JACK ROSE.
(Copyright, 1912, by Star Company.

will be vigorously prosecuted.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. The Chicago
man to whom Lee owed the $3,000 was
a loan shark. Lee always went to such
men when he wanted money.
j Payment was made direct to the loan
I shark by the theaters at which Lee ap
| reared.
I gave Lee all the money I had—
ab<>ut s2.ooo—and told him I would get
the balance. I went to some friends
and borrowed $2,000 more.
We started for Chicago. Before I
was there one week I found I needed
more money, as Lee had no concep
tion of figures.
T came to New York and borrowed
another $2,000. returned to Chicago and
gave it to Lee.
The show was launched in Chicago
at the Colonial theater shortly after
that. It proved all that Lee claimed
for ft. During all this time I didn't
touch a card or do any gambling. I
was absorbed in my new venture.
Lee, who was treasurer of the firm,
had all the time to himself Soon I be
gan to get suspicious that Lee was
gambling. I asked him about It, and he
assured me that he was through for
ever. We then made all arrangements
to play a week's engagement at Massey
hall, In Toronto, Canada, duflng the ex
position, but the engagement was still
about a month off, and the plant need
ed some overhauling.
Borrowed to Limit.
I left Lee in Chicago and came to
New York to arrange for further book
ings, While here I received word from
Lee that he had let his foot slip, and
that he had obligated himself to the
extent of $2,000 gambling. He had given
our plant as security. He attributed
this misfortune to the absence of my
restraining influence.
I was in despair. I had borrowed
everywhere I could and didn't know an
other soul to go to for assistance. I
wired Lee to come to New York, and
he did. I explained my awful position.
He was very penitent, and told mo that,
after all. It meant only a couple of
weeks longer, when our Canadian tour
would straighten everything out.
I secured a new loan of SBOO from a
prominent play author and another of
SI,OOO from a friend of the family and
turned It over to Lee.
He went back to Chicago and I re
ceived another message that more mon
ey was needed to make the journey to
Canada. 1 raised another SI,OOO and
started for Chicago. By this time 1 was
involved for about SII,OOO.
When it came time to move to To
ronto I learned that Lee had never
paid the man who held the Hen on the
plant, and lie refused to allow the pro
duction to move Lee had lost all the
money gambling.
I had a friend in Chicago who made
an arrangement to allow the produc
tion to move Before the first perform
ance was over in Toronto Lee collapsed,
was put to tied and we despaired of
his recovery'.
1 borrowed enough money to bring
Lee and the rest of the company biatne
to New York. He recovered, went to
Chicago shortly after, and died sud- I
denly. 1 went back to gambling again, I
more involved than ever and with an
other sermon in the life of Henry Lee
on the curse of gambling.
Harassed by Creditors.
1 was constantly being harassed by
creditors. Suits were instituted against
me. To none could I make answer
other than that I hadn't the money to
pay.
Judgments were secured against me,
and they still are unsatisfied.
My creditors at times dragged me
into supplementary proceedings to as
certain if possible how I managed to
live and provide for my family.
That is one of the unexplainable
things In a gambler's life. Somehow or
other they do it. They don't really
know how themselves.
I would go along for weeks at a time
unable to meet small household bills,
the rent in arrears, etc.
Then some day I would make a good
winning, pay all the bills and again
feel easy for a time.
1 was one of the large army of ap
parently' prosperous men about town
Every once In a while I would secure
an Interest in some gambling house and
while we were let alone make some
money.
Then would come a mid, the closing
of the place and further distress. Just

troubles just like other people, with
like results in loss of appetite, back
ache, nervousness, headache, and tired,
listless, run down feeling. But there's
no need to feel like that, as T D. Pee
bles. Henry, Tenn., proved. "Six bot
tles of Electric Bitters," he writes, “did
more to give me new strength and good
appetite than all other stomach reme
dies I used." So they help everybody.
It's folly to suffer when this great
remedy will help you from the first
dose. Try it. Only 50 cents at all

interested in and lose one of his many i
millions.
Then I could pay everybody, retire '
from the business, take my family I
away somewhere and start all over ;
again.
That is about the dream of the aver- '
age small gambling house keeper.
The small gambling houses of down- |
town, the kind I was associated in, are
usually composed of from four to six |
partners. It is usually started by each j
man putting up about SI,OOO.
The partners work In the place and J
draw an average < f $lO a day wages. }
Profits Usually Small.
The profits. If there is any, are usu- !
ally divided on the first of each month.
In most of the gambling houses on j
the East Side about all that Is left nt |
the end of the month Is the salary that |
each partner has been drawing. |
I have often thought that one-quar- |
ter the energy devoted in any other I
direction that is used by the average |
small gambling house owner to keep I
afloat would make him successful in
any other business.
There are no fixed hours of work. j
Sometimes we put in twelve hours and I
sometimes it Is twenty-four hours.
In my last venture, which was the
house conducted by Herman Rosen
thal, of which I was a partner, we
started in one Monday night and Wed
nesday night found us all still at work,
with the exception of short intervals of
relief for a bite to eat and a few hours
sleep In a chair propped against the
wall.
That particular play paid us. when
the game quit, almost SIO,OOO to the
good. But we have had other long ses
sions and the end found us not only
having lost sleep, but with it our "bank
roll.”
And often "frenzied finance” methods
had to be brought into play to prevent
It getting out that our "bank roll” had
been won out.
Replenishing Bank Roll.
For instance, on several occasions
our "bank roll" was getting thin. The I
game would start. Soon the players
were all winners. It was my duty to
make a quick mental calculation of
about the amount of (’hecks out that we
would have to redeem with money.
On comparing the amount of checks
and the amount of the cash on hand, if
I found we were getting near the dan
ger point of a showdown, or of not be
ing able to meet our obligations, it was
then up to me to call another member
of the firm and give him about six
blank checks to fill in. He would start
out to visit other gambling houses, or
obliging friends would cash these
checks.
Os course, none of the others sus
pected the game had suffered an un
usually hard drubbing at the hands of
the players, and our regular "bank roll”
had been distressed, and being night
time, we couldn't get to the bank for '
fresh funds.
The man running a game when these
emergencies come up will resort to j
any kind of a chance to get money, j
knowing, as he does, that while at I
times the players get runs of luck, all
that is necessary is to keep them play
ing, and in the end the house must get
the money back. JACK ROSE.

Atlanta to Get Regular Keith
Acts Under New Arrange
ment. Says Cardoza.
Just what "popular vaudeville" is—
the kind the Forsyth theater will Intro
duce beginning Monday—was explained
by Hugh Cardoxa. manager of the the
ater. today to satisfy the curiosity of
a host of theatergoers.
"There is a wide difference between
this class of vaudeville and the cheap
priced stuft that has been offered in
the small theaters,” said Mr. Cardoza
"Popular vaudeville of the sort that
the Forsyth will offer bears the Keith
brand. The acts are booked by the
United Booking Offices of America,
from the family' department of that
great Keith institution in New York,
and make up the attractions in a cir
cuit of several hundred theaters all
over the country, there being twenty in
the Wells circuit. Richmond. Norfolk.
Nashville, Birmingham and Savannah
have had the service for a number of
weeks, and the success has been re
markable.
Knowing Atlanta theatergoers as I
do, I feel more than sure that this pol
icy is going to be mighty popular. The
five acts we will offer come direct front
the Keith offices, and wip play our di
rect circuit, coming in or going out of
Atlanta. The acts are of the identical
quality of the best part of the bills
that have been seen here. In Birming
ham and Nashville and in Richmond
and Norfolk we can not accommodate
the crowds. That accounts for the ar
rangement of two performances at
night. The second night performance
starts at 9:15. The idea is "short and
sweet.” I feel sure that the Forsyth
is going to continue to be the very
busy and popular place it is."

ASTOR BABY HUSKY
INFANT; COURT TO
APPOINT GUARDIAN
NEW York. Aug. 15.—" Mrs. Astor
and little John Jacob Astor are doing
finely.”
This was the announcement made by
Dr. Edwin B. Cragin, the Astor family
physician, today, after he had paid his
first visit to the Astor mansion, w-here
a $3,000,000 baby boy was born yes
terday.
Dr. Cragin added that the posthu
mous heir of the millionaire who lost
his life on the Titanic was unusually
healthy and strong, and that the moth
er shows remarkable strength.
Steps have already been taken in the
legal proceedings that naturally follow
the birth of an heir to such a great for
tune. There devolves upon Surrogate
Cohalon the duty of nawiing a special
guardian for young John' Jacob Astor.
He is the fourth infant, in the eyes of
the law, to be one-of the beneficiaries of
the Astor estate. His mother was such
an infant, being under 21 until June 19.
as are also Vincent Astor, now head of
the American branch of the family, and
his sister, Muriel.
After the naming of the guardian, a
definite announcement is expected as to
whether the w ill of the baby's father is
to be contested.
