6 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. COOPER CLOSES AT MACON. ( MACON, GA., Aug 16.—John R.

Any infringement 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 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.

W CALLAWAY FORSYTH TOHAVE 3+DAY MOIETY • 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. Feet Tired- So Tired?
