[UNPARDONABLE SIN TO SQUEAL
IN OPEN, SAYS GAMBLER ROSE
( —— —" - ... ■■■ ■ -

The dangerous man to a gambling
house is tl'.e man who comes in. gets
lucky, wins what h ■ wants, cashes in
and departs. He may go somewhere
else and lose what he won from us.
Everybody connected with n house,
from the doorman u;> to the principal
owner, is trained in one important point
he must try to keep the winners play
ing. The loser is sure to come back to
look' far evens.
fdatiy are the methods employed in
keeping an usually large winner at
play. I was present one night at a
place where a young man was brought
in by one of the "steerers."
He slatted playing "roulette" and his
luck was phenomenal.
It seemed as if everywhere he placed
his chips that number was sure to come
up. His winnings soon amounted to
about four or five thousand dollars.
The colored attendant was .right at
his elbow, and each time the player be
gan to figure up his winnings the at
tendant attracted his attention by of
fering him a fresh glass of wine.
The dealet would spin the ball. It
was time for him to get his chips down
before the ball dropped. This was kept
up until soon his' Yun of luck was over.
In a short time he was broke.
In conversation after the play with I
another player, the attention of this |
man was called to tile fact that he was
at on- time between four ami five thou
sand dollars wlnm r. He refused to be
ll"! e it. When his attention was called
to the fact that he had 35 brown
cheeks, each repri sentiitg SIOO. besides
other chri ks of !■ sser value, he col
, laps, I.
Loses $7,000 While Awaiting Taxi.
Another night a man from the West !
dropped into a faro bank and began
playing Before ''mg. by cashing tn!
each deal, he had about $7,000 in his
I pocket and S.’tiO worth of cheeks In I
from of dm that he was trying to lose |
and quit.
But he couldn't low tin m. Soon that I
s.’oo worth of chips had grown into
$2,000
It was Jhen about 4 a. tn. He called
the alt, nd mt in" »a!d: "Het ti ea
I taxi." The .thniliint bowed and left
! apparently to order his taxi. The play
jer kept on playing, waiting forth.
'taxi. Ui»ut an hour elapsed whn his
■mi of 'a k charge,: H, had lo t th.
i * I in , ht ek-. h.,A bought an- |
other $1,0111! and that was almost gone.
He turned and said to the attendant: i
"How about that taxi?” « 1
"t'oming, sir." re-plied the well trained
boy. t
In the meanwhile he had another
drink, a" fresh perfect©, another deal ;
and another JLOt'U worth of cheeks
went very Last.
Another turn to the attendant: "How
about my tfixi?"
Just telephoned again, sir. It is a
snow y night, and taxis are all at work."
"Another drink, sir?" A fresh cigar,
another stack of cheeks at SI,OOO a
stack, and so it went. He finally was
st dazed by the excitement of the high
play and the wine ttnd the big black
cigar that he forgot about his taxi.
Pile Gone, Taxi Arrives.
When he had ptirehased a new stack
it was at SSOO a stack.
This showed to the proprietors that
this was tile end ot’ his money. After
making a tew bets with the last stack
and losing them, the attendant walked
oy-. r and vet y respectfully said:
"Sir. your tax' l has arrived anti it’s
yvaiting for you."
He yvas a good, game sport. He
turned around, ami in the draytl of it
man uttd. t the Intluenee of iiquot. said:
"Ate you sure it is mine?"
I am tliinkit.g of the man who tgst
yy intel yvent into a club uptown where
they were playing stud poker. He had
been having a long run of bad luck,
and was very- low in cash and spirits.
He sat around yvith a few others who 1
yvete in the same position he yvas. 1
They Kelt talking ot' the good old days
of racing and of money a-plenty.
Th. latest arrival spoke of it being
about Christmas time. For the first !
time in many years lie said, his folks |
it borne wouldn't b< the recipients of I '
any gifts at hi- hands, I*
A mon optimistic member of the
pa’. ty said :
"Why. Lmi. Christmas is almost a
week oft' ami you and 1 have seen 1
nt.my stittnge things hapi < n to u gam
bit r in a week.'
■ Yes. I know, sahi J.ou. "When rac- I 1
inc was good a man had a chnnve. This (
tin ■of ye, it i used t" be dotvn at New
Orleans and vas alwty- sure to havt
plenty of money " j
Soon one of the pt kt-r players at the
table got mt In ca-lting tn his chips he
Io kod .-.round and saw Lou IL told (
the dealer to give him cash for all his'
chips but $25.
H- cadet! Lou oyer lie knew him as
an expert stud pok-r play, r—and said.
Won, Then Lost All
'Lou plat thf, e .-hecks ?e. If you ,
money. If you yvin just leave my $25
here for me and keepMhe winnings."
Lou s at in and played the game until
the following night about 8 o’clock.
When it broke up Uou cashed in five
hundred and some odd dollars, leaving
the $25 for his benefactor.
He was the happiest man in all the
world. The Christmas gifts he wor
ried so much about were an assured
thing.
The following night he returned to
the place, after having left $250 with a
trusted friend yvith instructions to keep
that for him until the following week.
He played and yvon S3OO or S4OO.
I-ou yvent home anti added $250 more
to th" plant for the Christmas gifts
for those at home.
The next night he came again, sat
in the game, and began to lose. Soon
he lost all he had with him. Then he
started to sending messages, begging his
friend, who was the guardian of his
fund, not to hold him to his promise.
He explained that the game was so
soft that he would surely win: that his
present losses h id been brought about
through extraordinary pranks of the
cards, but. as he said:
“Class will tell, and I'm the class of
that crowd."
Suicide His End.
His friend sent him sloh. That soon
went. Then anothe: note for $l6O more,
which went the way of the others. An
other note, and his friend sent him the
entire balance.

penniless. As he was yvalking up the
street he met an acquaintance, who
said to him:
"Say. Lou. who was the 'booh' the
crowd up street have been playing with

Lou ditin t answer, but went home.
His body was found in his room, a bul

HID REWARD FOR
MISSING MEN IN
GRAFT CASE
District Attorney, Despairing
x of Police Aid. Appeals to
Cupidity of Gangsters.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—Despairing of
any marked success from police “ef
forts" to arrest "Lefty Louie" and Har
ry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood,’
District Attorney Whitman will offei
$5,000 reward for their capture. He
hopes thus to appeal to the cupidity of
the East Side gangsters, who may know
the hiding place of the two men ac
cused of firing the shots that killed
Herman Rosenthal.
The offer of a reward is practically
the last step which Mr. Whitman car.
take to effect the capture of the two
gun men whom the police so far have
failed to arrest, and the knowledge that
he intends offering the reward is taker
to indicate that he has little hope o!
the police in the future being more suc
cessful than in the past.
His action in going over the heads ot
the police department with such an
offer is without precedent in this city.
The district attorney lias secured new
clews as to the whereabouts of the twe
fugitives, and today' detectives were
sent to Methuen. Mass., and Duluth.
Minn.
“Bridgey” Webber Gets a Postcard.
The clew which turned the attention
of the police to Methuen was In the
shape of a postal card. Inclosed in two
sealed envelopes, received by "Bridgey"
Webber in the Tombs. It read:
“Dear pal, do the best you can. We
are all right,
“Your pals,
(Signed) “L. AND G."
Webber at once declared the initials
“L. and G.“ stood for Louie and Gyp.
With the grand jury In recess until
next Tuesday, no official movement will
be made until the arrival of Sam
Schepps and his appearance before that
body. If he tells all he knows. Mr.
Whitman is confident that the grand
jury will return the indictments that
were held up yesterday.
Schepps. who is on his why tn Npw
York from Hot Springs. Ark., will be
kept In hiding- by Mr. Whitman until
he appears before the grand jury next
week. This step is said to be due to
reports that gangsters were plotting to
“put Schepps out of the way” upon his
arrival here. Schepps will be kept at
Tarrytown. N. Y., until next Monday,
it is said.
Reformers Raid Disorderly Resort.
The reform organizations are accus
ing the police of neglect of duty in
stamping out vice, and eighteen disor
derly houses in Inspector Lahey’s dis
trict were raided simultaneously last
night by direction of Assistant District
Attorney Smith and Samuel Marcus,
counsel for the Society for the T*reven
tion of Crime. Their keepers were ar
raigned today.
Proof of the existence of a distinct
organization in control of these places
was announced.
District Attorney Whitman expects
Governor Dix to grant his request for
the appointment of a justice to sit in
extraordinary session of the supreme
court, criminal branch, to handle the
trials for the murder of Rosenthal.
Probably Justice John W. Goff will he
chosen. The trials will start in Sep
tember.
YANKEE BEATS FRENCH
ARMY IN AIR BOMB TEST
PARIS, Aug. 16.—Lieutenant Scott, of

Something About “Squealing."
That is not the way of the “high
class gambler." His way of squealing
has more "finesse" to It. He enjoys the
friendship of some one who is taking
care of his place. To this man he has
pr oved that he is a man who In stormy
times like the present will stand the
"acid test" and prove he Is no "squeal
er.”
The hundred and one times that he
has “squealed” about opposition places
does not count. What ho told was not
in the form of a "squeal." It was just
to have his friend know what was go
ing on around him.
The opposition place that has been
"squeaeld" on does not enjoy the Inti
mate acquaintance or friendship of so
big a man as the other fellow, so ire.
poor fellow, has got to do his "squeal
ing" in the crude way of the Houston
street gambler'. He must write anony
mously to everybody in authority, eitlu r
as a "Public Spirited Citizen" or the
"Hearth: oken Mother ami Wife.” whose
son or- husband is losing all his wages
In So-and-So’s gambling house.
If Uncle Sam knew the exact figures
as to how the postoffice is enriched an
nually by these letters, he would insist
that all squealing’ b p done entirely
through the mails.
These ate a few of the ways; there
are others more drastic, but t,
squeal as Jack Rose did. with only
the fact that lie wa- being made th*
goat, with the electric chair staring
him in the face, he has committed thr
unpardonable sin of "squealing" In th*
open.
