BANiSHED
Nickel in-the-Slot Machines - Police
Enforcs Their Order, and Chief
Deitsch Says He Will See That it
is Not Revoked.

CINCINNATI, Ohio November 1.-THE
order of Chief Deitsch that the nickel-in-
the-slot machines must go has been
obeyed. No machines were being operated
yesterday, but early in the morning three
saloonkeepers who Thought the order
didn't co. failed to remove these petit
larceny grafters, and the result was the
confiscation of the machines and the ar
rest of the saloonkeeprs. Chief Deitsch, in
order to rid the city of the evil, resorts to
new tactics. Instead of detailing detect
ives to do the work, he ordered the lieu
tenants to clean up their respective dis
tricts, and if his order was not obeyed
the guilty lieutenant had to face the
charge. This line of battle proved to be
successful one, for no machines were
being operated yesterday. In fact, in al
most every case the machine had been re-
moved altogether.
TIL owners of the machines. who oper-
ated them through Lew Kraft's protec-
ton, could not believe that their graft was
at an end, and after several consultations
with Kraft the word went out 10 remove
all machines save those with a musical
attachment. 1t was agreed upon to fight
the case on this machine. on the ground
that the player was getting a tune for his
money" But at the last moment it was
decided to lay down and obey Chief
Deitsch's order The result was all police
districts report No Slot machines
Chief Deitsch, in speaking of the mat
ter, said:
My orders must be obeyed. and that
means forever. l will not tolerate slot ma
chimes, and l mean exactly what l say.
What is more they will not so back, and
if an attempt is made to run machines |
will see that the operators are arrested
and the machines confiscated."

NEW YORK. November 14.-Oscar
Gardner, the Omaha Kid, got the decis-
ion after twenty-five round bout at
124 pounds from Jack Hamilton, of
Troy, N. Y, tonight, at the Broadway
A. c. The victor was not the Gardner
of year ago. Hamilton at all times
was more forcible and had greater
weight behind his blows. Gardner was
the cleaner cut in delivery and execu
ton, but from the start it was palpable
that he was suffering from the old COM
plant of weak hands. Both wrists
went back on him from the very begin
ming and at the finish they were very
weak.
During the first twelve rounds. the
fighting was of the give and take order,
with hcnors slightly in favor of Gard
ner. In the third and sixth rounds
Gardner slipped to the floor, but neither
time was his slipping due to a blow
from his adversary. In the seventh
Gardner sent some straight let's to the
face, one of which damaged Hamil-
tons left eye. Gardeners left optic was
injured in the opening round. In the
beginning of the thirteenth honors were
pretty evenly divided In this round
a left swing on the jaw and a right
hand shove from Hamilton put Gard
ner down. but the western lad recov-
cred his feet very quickly and showed
to good advantage to the bell. From
this to the eighteenth round honors
were even. Gardeners head work and
lodging left and right leads was ex-
tremely clever Both landed forceful
blows on each others ribs and wind
and there was very little to choose be-
tween them.
At the close of the eighteenth round
Hamilton forced the fighting and had
Gardner on the ropes in close
proximity to the centre uprights,
lodges and ducking right and
left swings when the bell
rang. Inc ulHeleeHIH was T1dullltOH D
round he getting the body and head
with both hands, and in a mix-up
Gardner slipped to his knees. In the
twenty-first round Gardner kept con-
tinuous jabbing, which stalled off the
frequent rushes of his opponent. He
kept this style of defense up to the
end of the twenty-third round, when he
retired to his corner in a very weak
condition.
Hamilton made a rapid rally in the
twenty-fourth and rushed Gardner
around the King, swinging with both

the Charleston's Loss.

NEW YORK. November 14.-A reporter
went to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to-day
and sent to Admiral Dewey a copy of the
dispatch announcing the loss of the

blows, and he got in several good coun-
ters In the final round Hamilton
went in with renewed energy in order
to score something decisive, but Gard
ner was on the alert and ducked and
countered beautifully until the bell
rang. The referees decision was ac-
cepted gracefully by the spectators.

INTERNATIONAL COMBINE

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE IN
dustrial commission to-day listened to tina
testimony of John j. Gates chairman Of
the American Steel & Wire Company. Mr..
Gates said his company did not seek to
monopolize the business. He gave the de-
tails of an effort made last summer to ef-
feet an international consolidation of wire
works, taking in all those of Europe. The
combination had failed, because OF the i'm
possibility of reaching an agreement on
the share of the product to be allotted to
the United States.

days later a deckhand found one 81
the books of drafts in the river, and
the book was sent to a detective
bureau. Soon reports Of bogus drafts
began to pour in from all over the
country They were all made on these
forms and drawn on the National Bank

recounted by Captain McCluskey, oc-
CURED on October Sd last. The First

drawn by the Lawrence National Bank

Thompson and Knox and directed from
Dansville by Whiteman.
The gang, except Whiteman, went to
Pittshurg, where the next victim. the
Tradesmen's National Bank, was to be
worked.
The scheme there was to deposit
$1,000 in cash to give the gang a stand
ing. This was done. A bogus draft
for $4,000 was to follow and then an
effort to draw $4,000 was to be made.
Stewart. alias Ward. was to do the
work. He is gray and venerable. The
bank officials were notified by the po-
lice and plans were made for the arrest
of the entire gang when they came
on Monday to draw the $4,000. The
plans miscarried, and Stewart alone
was caught. The other three escaped
to New York. The men were caught
soon after landing here.
Whiteman is wanted in Chicago, where
he was tried year ago for grand larceny,
and sentenced to serve two and half
years.

score of times. He has Travelled the world
over. He inherited 100000 from his father
in 1888 after leaving college. He led his
class in the Columbia law school, and af-
ter getting his diploma and being admitted
to the bar he went to Duluth. He made a
great deal of money there during the boom
