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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
