A man who knows says about the
Lincoln street house that was raided
Saturday night by the police that it was
the first time that game of poker had
been in progress there and that the
whole thing was gotten up and given
away by spotter who was in the crowd.
He is laying for place on the force and
gave the police tip to get his reputa-

The spotter made an excuse to go out
saying he had to get shaved, but he
returned later with the same healthy
growth of hair on his face. Not long

There is said to be another poker
game going on in the Columbian build
ing which doesn't need a spotter.

of the trustees of St PauPs institute at

Minister Terrell was cabled and replisd
that he had called already upon the
Turkish government and that promise
OF an investigation and protection had
been received. The department feels
that everything possible has been done.

Great numbers of sharks are gath
cred at Curtis Bay, Baltimore, where
they are said to have thinned out the
edible fish and kept the fishermen
from making money. Col Godfrey
Eagle, chief engineer Of the sugar re-
1nery, has tried to snare the sharks
with pork He had large steel hook
made on which he put five pounds Of
meat, and then tied it with 4 line to
the pier He caught many soft shell
crabs, but no sharks. Now the Curtis
bay folks are talking Of using live dogs
as bait. L is notorious that a shark
will risk his life for a live dog, even
if he is yellow and without a pedigree
There is plenty of material at the bay
in the shape of worthless dogs The
scheme is TO hide the hook behind the
animal so that the shark won't see it.
William Lowry, a shark fisherman.
says that he never saw so many of
them in his life. They round up the
fish under the sugar refinery pier ard
then wait Tor them to come out OF
die.
