A determined attempt which was made
at Glen Echo last night to stamp out the
gambling which has fiourished there since
the opening of the resort, resulted in the
arrest of one OF the proprietors of the bar
and the destruction of gaming parapher-
MALTA. The attempt to arrest the principal
gamblers. however, failed in spite of the
efforts of Deputy Sheriff Selby, the pro-
prietors OF the games escaping across the
canal and the Potomac.
Deputy Sheriff Selby, with his assistants
arrived at Glen Echo from Rockville about
8 o'clock with five warrants. The names
on the documents were Duke, one of the
proprietors of the bar; Fish, two Smiths
and King the men alleged to be in control
of the gambling. Duke was arrested and
was taken to Rockville. Through confed-
crates the gamblers had been informed that
an attempt would be made to arrest them
and they escaped in boats which had been
placed in readiness early in the evening
Deputy Sheriff Selby was assisted by Depu-
ties Mace and Embrey and four detectives
from Washington. The house in which the
men sleep, short distance southeast OF
the tents in which the gambling has teen
conducted, was searched. The raiding
party returned to the gambling tent, where
the paraphernalia was destroyed. The
negro heads on canvass were taken to
Rockville to be used as evidence.
Times reporter spoke to one of the
Smith men a few minutes before the ar
rival of the sheriff. 1t was contended by
Smith that the game in connection with
the heads through the mouths of which
balls were thrown which would afterward
roll down, between rows of nails was
straight" Every person playing he
said, won at least one cigar and stood the
chance of winning as many as eight. This,
he stated, was the extent OF the gambling.
The cigars cost only 81 a hundred. and the
game could stand the loss of the eight
cigars, which were often won.
In spite of the fact that the ringleaders
in the games were not spprehended, the
deputy sheriff expressed the bslief that
they would not return. The search for
the men will be continued The warrants
were sworn out on Wednesday night by
Edwin Baltzley, one OF the propretors of
Glen Echo. and were issued by Squire Aus
tin. The gamblers were not at the rezort
during the day, and the attempt to serve
them was not made until last night. Tfere
was no suspicion on the part of the county
authorities that the men would not oper-
ate the games last night, as usual, ,and they
were surprised that the men were apprised
of their movements. a few minutes be-
fore the arrival OF the deputy sheriff from
Rockville with the warrants. the men were
seen near the entrance to the grounds.
and it was confidently expected that they
would be taken into custody.
The action of the authorities last night,
it is said, will break up the gambling
which has been going on for some time at
Glen Echo.

New York, June 29.-''We are on our

James Mitchell, who left New Brunswick
n. J., last Tuesday night for their bridal

to the railroad station ever taken by a

the happy bride and bridegroom turned
from Hassart Street into George Street a
crowd of well addressed 'highwaymen," all
of whom wore Knights of Columbus
badges, rushed into the street, each man
firing a revolver. They brought the coach
to a standstill, forced the driver to dis
mount. and took the horses out of the har-
ness. Then the knights seized the pole
of the wagon and hauled the bridal char

coach and rang bells and did other things
to impress the public with the Importance
of the occasion. AT the station the plac-
ards were pasted on the baggage.

Louis II. Mennge. Long an Exile.
Back in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 2s-Louis F.
Menage, the man who has made and lost
two fortunes aggregating millions of dol
lars. and who has been in exile for six
years. returned to Minneapolis yesterday
from Mexico. Menage was the leading man
in the Guaranty Loan Company, which
went to the wall in 1893. involving many
men from the East and elsewhere, the
total losses running into the millions Mr.
Menage was indicted for embezzlement at

Immediately after arriving in the city
Mr.. Menage went to the Office of his at

on the county attorney. Mr.. Menage stated
that he had returned to answer the indict-
ments. County Attorney Reed accompan-
led the two visitors to Judge EIliott's court
room, where the indictments were read.
Menage pleaded not guilty. and his bail
was fixed at $4,000, which was furnished.
In an interview Mr.. Menage said: THE

INCREASE IN WAGES.
Government Printers and RooLbind-
ers VIII Get 81 Day.

Public Printer Palmer yesterday an
nounced to the employees of the Govern
ment Printing Office his decision to in
crease the daily wages of the printers and
bookbinders from $500 to 81 per day.
When this decision was announced there
was great rejoicing not merely because of
the increase in pay, but because it was
virtually recognition of the demands of
organized labor, and Mr. Palmer is now
looked upon as one of its champions
Congress some time ago provided for
the increase OF pay of the printers and
bookbinders, but al the same time left it
discretionary with the Public Printer.
Congress failed to provide an appropriation
to meet such an increase in expenditure.
Mr. Palmer. however. advocated the pas
sage of the act and when he appeared be-
fore Congress in reference to the matter
be stated that it was only fair that the
pay of the printers and the bookbinders
should be equal to that of the pressmen,
which, SO far back as 1895. was increased to
81 day. After consulting with several
Senators. Representatives, and the Pre5i-
dent of Columbia Typographical Union No.
101, Mr.. Palmer decided to put the law into
effect tomorrow and risk having Congress,
at its next session, make an appropriation
to meet the deficit.
The American Federation of Labor and
the Central Labor Union of this city, which
is affiliated with that body, took an active
part in securing the legislation

Mr.. Crowley Wanted to Embrace All
the Girls He Met.


New York. June pa nicely dressed
young man caused a small panic on Broad
way between Thirty-seventh and Thirty
eighth streets about $50 p. m. yesterday
by trying to hug and kiss every pretty girl
who passed near him. AT that hour scores
OF girls were bound homeward and the
young man who had started to embrace
everyone of them was kept pretty busy
Some of the girls wept, others gave him
hearty slaps and punches, and two or
three hunted up Policeman Fitzgerald.
The office. saw the young man chase a
couple OF girls across the street and at
tempt to kiss them. Fitzgerald took the
man to the West Thirtieth Street station
house. There he acted queerly. Every
time the sergeant asked him question he
would say:

proof that the crew was justly entitled 10
victory. for in the last $50 yards the shell
was not extended. Yale's oarsmen finished
in $40.
There was much indignation over the
action of the Glen Island. The small
boats were making trouble also. and the
committee found 1t almost impossible 10
control them. The referee was so con-
cerned about the matter that he waitei
near the bridge for three-quarters OF an
hour trying TO have the course cleared.
The head of the course. off Gales Ferry,
was reached by the various official boats
at $40. and preparations for the varsity
race were at once begun.
Yale reached the stakeboat first, but
Harvard had not been long in following.

crews off, Harvard began with a Sc and
Yale with 81 stroke, but there was net
a foot of difference between them when

speed began to increase, and with it came
real form and showiness of style. The
Harvard men had such great, wide
sweeping stroke that their shell was lifted
fairly out of the water at times, but there
was perfect action and very little hand

CRIME OR A JEsrP
Conflicting Letters Concerning DIR.
Carleton f.. Uber.

Carleton f. Uber.
Two mysterious letters, evidently written
by the same person but purporting to bear
different signatures, received at Richmond,
Va. Wednesday night, would indicate that
foul play has oyertaken Dr. Carlton E.
Uber. veterinary surgeon, VINO is said to
have formerly lived In this city and TO have
until recently occupied the position of
chief inspector in the United States Bureau
OF Animal Industry. Another communica-
tion received later. and purporting 20 have
been signed by Uber, would indicate that
he has been either the victim of a murderer
or of a practical joker.
The first communication was signed w.
A. Pemberton, Deputy United States Mar
shall, and stated that the body of Uber had
been found near Lynn Haven. According
to the letter the man had been murdered
and the club with which the deed had been
committed was found lying near the body
The second letter, which was addressed to
T. ]. Garrett, a friend of Uber, bore the
signature of the veterinary and stated that
he expected to be killed. Both letters were
written on the paper of the Hotel Atlantic
at Norfolk. The first communication stated
that Uber was acting under instructions
from the United States Secret Service at
the time of his death. A badge OF the
Secret Service was found pinned On the
inside of a coat of Uber at his home in
Richmond. The third communication
which was addressed to Mr.. Garrett was
dated oceana. and read: Il am alive, thank
God. Don't worry" 1t was signed by
Uber.
The Chief OF the Secret Service stated last
night that the affair bore a chaotic ap-
pearance in his opinion. He denied that
Uber was Secret Service agent, or that he
had ever been employed as such.

80 Assistant District Attorney Hugh 7.
Taggart yesterday appeared before the
justices Of the Supreme Court of the Dis
-trict sitting in general term and moved
that decree or order be passed in accord
with the terms of the decision OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
Potomac flats cases in relation to the
rights of the former occupants of the
property in question.
The Supreme Court of the United States
some time ago decided that the title to the
land on the entire water front of the Fo-
tomac River, within the District limits is
vested solely in the United States. The
opinion OF the upper court. however, did
not regard the present occupants In the
light of trespassers, but held that they are
entitled TO compensation for improve
ments and other expenses because they
had been in uninterrupted possession for
so long period and have been required 10
pay taxes to the Government. 1t was for
the purpose 1of adjudcating the claims
for damages Of the complainants. the pres
ent occupants and owners that the matter
was referred to the Supreme Court of the
District for consideration.
After hearing the views of the several
attorneys interested the court adjourned
until Monday morning at 10 o'clock, with
the understanding that the attorneys shall
employ the time between now and then
in agreeing upon, form of order to be
presented to the court. The first order to
be signed will be in the case of the Easily
estate In Georgetown, represented by
Messrs. Talmadge A. and William J. Lam
bert and Webb & Webb, and in which
heavy damages have been allowed. This
order will govern majority of the addl-
tional cases.

lgation by Messrs. Lambert and Lambert
