ain, in connection with the Emma mines
and his authorship OF volume entitled
"RuleS OF Draw Poker"
Mr., Grosvenor referred to General
Scheuck's distinguished services In
times OF war and peace. He could not
understand the purpose OF the attack.
II vas not germane TO the discussion.
Assuming that poker playing contra
Yened the high standard OF morality set
up BY the gentleman from Kentucky,
ali that was outside OF his OFFICIAL con-
duct and could not be made ground for
Censure.
MIR. icCreary said that he had made
no attack on General Schenek. No one

what the purpose was. II IL was not In
tended 10 assaIl the memory OF dead
man like ghoul then the utterRnces OF
Mr.. McCreary were Idle words. In
either case Mr.. Grosvenor said. he was
here to defend him. In regard 10 the
Emma mines the best proof OF General
schencli's good intentions was that he
hlinselE invested large sums OF money
in those stocks and continued to pay the
assessments to the day OF his death.

written out a few rules OF the great
American game by request OF n friend

Chnrr!ned when public reference to It
had been made. He abused no con-
fidence when he said that General
Schenck told friend he knew Just
enough about poker always to lose his
money. As 4 poker player. however.

in opposition to the rule. Mr.. Tucker
