A GAME OF POKER.
But the Alleged Players Are Very Tn
communicative About 1t.

But the Alleged Players Are Very Tn
communicative About 1t.
A quiet little game Of poker has been 60
ing on in one Of the committee rooms on
the Senate side Of the Capitol during the
past month, 1t is alleged. and this having
teen drawn to the attention Of Capt. Gard
ner Of the Capitol police force an investi-
gation has been instituted.
Ser geant-at-Arms Bright has had his at
tention called to the alleged poker game
and has done what he could to arrive at
the facts in the case. But little progress
has been made, however, except that evil
dence has BEEN secured that certain boys
with strong initiative faculties have been
inclined to follow in the footsteps of their
elders. Some Of these youngsters are en-
ployed about the Capitol and they invited
their friends 1t is said, to a certain COM
mittee room, and In the seclusion SO Sc
cured proceeded TO discover who could win
the money of the balance of the assembly.
The boys have exemplified the old adage
about the devil being prone to set idle
hands to work, as the long vacation of
Congress has left them with but little to
occupy their time, and restful game of
poker was bethought.
The boys who took hand in the alleged
game are inclined to be very uncommunica-
tive, and when Capt. Gardner has sought
to collect evidence he has found them to be
possessed of very. troublesome memories
being able to remember but little concern.
ing the gatherings that had been said to
take place, and also being woefully ignor-
ant of the game that they are accused OF
playing. Capt. Gardner Is now taking his
vacation, so that the investigation has beer
deferred until his return to town. In the
meantime the boys employed on the Sen
ate side of the Capitol are competing tt
see who can hold his tongue with the best
effect and who knows the least about one
seductive game called poker.

Constantinople, Jan. 4.-The Turkish
newspapers deny the reported assassina-

should promise to pursue line of con-

Turkish government, which Mgr. Ismir-
