CONFIDENCE GAME.
Police Looking for Bogus Pool Room
Wire Tappers.

Detectives Horne and Weedon investigat-
ed case yesterday in which four young
men known as con. touts' induced
washington man TO bet $500 on the races
In Baltimore pool room. The man lost
his money and then he made complaint to
the officers. Just how many more Wash
instonians were swindled the police do not
know, but they are satisfied that several
others dropped money in this way 1t ap-
pears, according to the investigation made
by the detectives, that four young men
came here about ten days ago and register
ed at the National Hotel as Laurence Sum-
mers 5. Weber and ]. Tanner of New York
and William NJ. H. McNutt of Chicago
About the hotel they were known as book
makers, and their appearances indicated
that they probably had wealth. Their
game, as the police allege was to get ac-
quainted with some men who were willing
TO bet big money, and then by convincing
tnem that they could tap the wires and get
what the race track followers call a sure
thing get them to bet their money
These men had an expensive set of in
struments, and with Washingtonian they
went out near Relay and made a connec-
uon with the telegraph wires. They had
the necessary receiving blanks and a com
plete outfit. Their work was convincing
and yesterday the victim went over to a
baltimore pool room and dropped his 500.
Unfortunately for the alleged swindlers
they had failed to pick winner. and they
were Unable to convince the victim that
they had made an honest mistake. He re-
fused to bet any more money and returned
home. When he had related his experience
to the officers the latter visited the room
IN the hotel in which the alleged swindlers
had been. Scraps of letter found in the
stove were put together and the officers
We're able to see that it had been written
to Dear Gene" and was signed Mar
garrett In the letter the woman asked If
ne had found too many knockers" in
Washington to make money.
Just where the alleged confidence men ex-
pected to get their money the officers do not
know, unless they expected percentage of
the winnings in event of picking winner
1t may be that the bookmakers pay the
touts a percentage for getting large
amounts in this way. These men are sup
posed to belong to a gang of men who op-
Grated in New York some weeks ago.

pleased the audience always, was Mrs.

and Miss Lee as housemaids lacked in the
essential quality of their business in leav-
ing on the floor a large bunch of violets
which Miss Blair inadvertently dropped,
but not as a part Of the play. And here
1t may be said that almost the entire COM
pany got into that same room and not one
picked up the big bunch of violetS though
the women dragged their skirts over it and
the men walked around It, And not by a
great deal is this the only company Of
players who can't drop their playing long
enough to correct SO palpable misplace
ment. The whole play went quite as well
as If 1t had been new one, and there were
tears shed as plentiously as if the supply
had never been touched by the sorrows
Of Mrs. Woods heroine.

west. without the blood-curdlins features
often found In the western plays. Splendid
mechanical effects add to the realism, and
fun and pathos are both plentiful. The
different scenes beginning with the build
Ing of the railroad and ending with the
here's sweetheart swinging around on q
windmill to save her lover, are all Of most
intense interest The company which pre-
sents THE Great Northwest Is exception
ally strong, and the cast Is a long one, be-
ginning with ]. j. Dowling. who makes an
ideal hero. and Sheridan Block, who gives
an original creation Of a stage scoundrel

The Recent Earthquake in England.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Many persons were startled by the cable
news Of the violent earthquake recently
felt in Great Britain. and some may have
thought that 1t was altogether unprece-
dented. This, however, Is not the case.
Many such unexplained phenomena have
been reported and Mr.. Somerville. who died
In 1872. stated that as many as 256 had
been recorded as having happened within
the British Isles. Among such instances
the famous Abbey Of Glastonbury in SOM
srsetshire was destroyed in 1874. ana in
damage was done to property around Lon

Ecclesiastical Investigation.

Charges of immortality against Rev.
G. A. Britt, pastor of the English
Lutheran church, were investigated
Tuesday by Synod committee con-
sisting of Rev's S. W. Owen, D. D.,
and George S. Bowers, of Hagers-
town; T. j. Yost, of Cumberland,
Victor Miller, of Leitersburg, and c.
E. Held, of Brunswick.
Ferdinand Williams appeared for
the complainants, W. A. Somervile,
Robert Scott, A. r.. Blasse, Josiah
Ford, Albert Spitznas and others, and
B. "A. Richmond for Mr.. Britt.
Harry Gi!christ, of cumberland, was
the stenographer, and justice Andrew
Smeltz administered the oaths.
Mrs. Laura Rafferty,, Mrs. Clara
Jones, Mrs. Fanny Smith, Mrs. Kate
Gels, Misses Minnie Brode and Annie
Baker and Messrs. W. A. Somerville
and Robert Scott testified for the prose-
cution, and Mrs. c. A. Britt, Mrs. John
Powers, and Messrs. j. G. Dennison,
D. F. Poland. C. r. Hartley, C. Lehr,
G. l.. Wade and H. B. Shaffer for the
defense.
Mr.. Britt was sustained also by good
character testimony from six min
listers, three physicians and three lead
ing citizens.
The complainants charged Mr.. Britt
with gross immortality since his res
idence in Frostburg, and involved
some nebulous references to an oc-
currence before he entered the min
istry. The committee found him
guiltless, however, and the chairman
INDUCED some warm denunciation of
the leaders of the crusade against Mr..
BIRTHS good name. He spoke of their
action as "a conspiracy" and an in
stance of persistent and devilish
persecution"
The report, which will completely
exonerate Mr.. Britt, will be made pub
lie as soon as it traverses the usual
channels of approval.
There has been some talk of a pros
,ecution of the complalnants in court
for conspiracy, bat it is to be hoped the
matter will remain where DR.. Owen
left it whom he said:
The case is closed

Political Poetry.

The following poem by a local artist
was handed in this week. When the
JOURNAL asked-''for publication ?"
it was rewarded with a wink that was
as good as nod:
There's Altgeld and Tillman, Teller and
Bland
There's Sewall and Hill and German
All these on a new platform propose to stand,
But of it each will soon be sore man.
Upon the people they propose to throw
Opinions that you can't rely on;
And therefore, if you'll wait on Novenber's
show,
You'll see them all swimming in brine
(Bryan)
Somewhat short in several parti-
culars indispensable to good poetry,
but the double entenG,e which associates
Bryan's name with the seafoam of
certain river, up which some unlucky
politicians sail on the night of every
election day, is so cute that the wink
cannot be resisted.
