LAW ON PERCENTAGE POKER
IS TO BE AGAIN TEsTED
Managers of the Cafe Royal and
Baldwin Annex Games to Be
a rraeRoJ


Chief Whitman has determined to stop
the poker games at the Cafe Royal and
Baldwin Annex if the law gives him that
power. For the last week he has had a
policeman and a sergeant watching the
games and taking part in them so as to
secure evidence against the managers.
and yesterday, in accordance with his in
strUctions, Policeman GTancOurt swOre
out warrants for the arrest OF the man
ayers.
The arrests are made under order 1896 of
the Board Of Supervisors, which makes il
unlawful for any person to play cards
where a percentage or contribution is
charged or taken, whether in mouAT,
vfctuals, cigars, liquor or any other Il y
modify. In the Cafe Royal and BaI6RIn
Annex two chips of the value OF cents
each are taken from each player now and
then and the player receives a blue check
calling for a 10-cent drink or cigar at the
bar The managers claim that is not q
percentage, as the player gets full value
for his money. A new deck Of cards is
sold every few minutes for 90 cents. The
matter has been threshed out in the PO-
lice Courts before and the gambling peO-
pie have won.
AdOlph Franzini, manager OF the game
at the Cafe Royal, was arrested and re-
leased on cash bail.

NJ PIKE SCORES
THE WITNESSES
Attorney Says Knowl-
tons Accusers Are
Ali Biased.

Interest in the Knowlton inquiry was
again at its height yesterday when At
torney H. c. McPike, on behalf of Knowl-
ton, made an autopsical speech cutting
into every fiber and nerve of the evidence
given before the Board of Education by
Accuser Lyser and his chief witnesses,
Morton and Clark. McPike placed the
testimony Of the gentlemen named on the
slab for dissection, and performed the op-
Grafton without regard to the sensitive
ness Of those present or absent He
pointed out the parts which he considered
weak, and one Of these was the fact that
no less than nine teachers had in the
short space Of five months preceded Pro-
fessor Knowlton, and Knowlton himself
had held Office in Lyser's company for the
brief period of only two months. Ergo,
was there not something radically wrong
when teachers were changed about and
sent right-about in such quick order?
The Board of Education, declared Nc
Pike, deserved congratulation for the ju-
diCial lines 1t had followed during the in
VeStigatiOn of his client Evidence of an
illegal character had been eliminated and
great patience had been shown, but he
deplOred the fact that their valuable time
had been demanded for four or five days
when accuser and witnesses called to
back up and support a charge had proved
their utter inability to DO so. Lyser had
made the charges, however, and McPIke
agreed that the board had the right on
its side to call upon him to substantiate
them,
AS to any charge of incompetency he
submitted that that was not matter for
which his client could be tried If he was
a teacher it was presumed that he was
competent. He had received the license
of competent teacher, but the language
of Lyser's charge was '1ncompetency'
and ''unfitness.' If a teacher were guilty
of intemperance or the use of profane
language that would establish an ''untit-
ness" which the board would quickly deal
with. McPike showed that so long ago
as eleven years Knowlton taught with the
witness Morton, whose testimony, he sub
mitted, was ancient history. If then in
competent surely he would have been
found out long before this-yes, his in
competency would have been discovered
in less than a year. The board would
have found out any shortcoming in him
in short order. indeed.
