GREATEST GAMBLER
IN THE COUNTRY
How Garfield Conducts His
Swell Club House at
Saratoga
IBv Associated Press.I

New York, Sept. 13.-Richard A.
Garfield. the King Of Gamblers, is run
ming at Saratoga the greatest and
finest gambling institution in the coun-
try. 1t is exclusively for the rich. No
poor men or "pikers" are permitted
to play in it. No citizen of Saratoga
can bet a cent on any of its games.
II is not molested by the authorities,
because they say that only the veal
thy lose their money there, and thet
can afford I.
Garfield is kind and genial TO his
patrons. He keeps close watch OF
their financial standing through a
commercial agency of his own, and
when one Of them overplays and asks
lcr a loan he generally gets It. OF
course It is the borrowers fault If he
loses the loan back again to the loaner.
Garfield, the King of Gamblers,
never plays cards for money himself.
He may take part at a quiet game of
casino for a cigar or a bottle, but
that is as far as he ever goes.
Once in awhile Garfield strolls
around and takes a look at the games,
but not often. His fads are literature
and art. He is a confirmed biblio
maniac. a connoiseur in pictures and
one Of the finest judges Of tapestries
n the world.
A young chap about seventeen.
smoking a cigarette and trying to
look mature, dropped a timid five dol
lar bill on the red. He was idgety
while the ball spun around.
The red won and the man behind the
roulette table threw another FIVE dol
lar bill on that dropped by the young
chap.
let 'em lay" said the young chap.
Just then a hawk faced little man,
immaculate in evening clothes, with
a birstly, close cropped mustache and
a general air OF a~lertness. tapped the
young chap on the shoulder.
The young chap started, flushed
sputtered. but he picked up his ten
dollara and walked out Of the room
and out Of the club house. The hawi:
faced man had decided he was not Oh
enough to gamble.
Gamble in Evening Dress.
There were two hundred men IN
the gambling rooms of the Saratoga
club on Congress street, Saratoga
when this happened the other night
Nearly all OF these men wore evening
clothes. Not all Of them gambled, but
all Of them, at one time or another
looked on. There were:
A United States senator.
A former United States senator.
\ former cabinet member.
A dozen members of congress.
Three great editors.
Two or three society leaders.
A score OF m%illionaifes and City at
least Of the best known sporting men

toga club. The man wanted to gam
BILE aud said he would lose only two
hundred, IL he didn't win. Finally his
wife consented to these terms. The
man went into the room and took a
seat at the faro table. He bought
$500 worth Of chips and lost them in
three bets. He was well known to the
house. GIVE me FIVE hundred more
he said.
The dealer handed over the chips.
1--WE yellow ones at 500 each. The
man made five bets and lost them all.
let me have five hundred in cash
he said again. The dealer gave him
five one hundred dollar bills.
Waving these in his hand the man
went back to his wife and tossed the
Ave hundred in her lap saying: wei,
in that short time l won Eve hundred.
Get yourself a new gown The wife
was delighted. Next day the man
sent his check to Richard A. Garfield
for $1,000.
Has His Commercial Agency.
It is Canfeld's business to know
more about his patrons than a mercan-
tile agency knows about the business
men it serves. AS soon as a man is
introduced Garfield looks him up
He knows his resources, his income
and his characteristics. If he is hon
est in his dealings with other men,
Garfield takes it for granted that he
will be honest in his dealings with
him. 1t rarely happens that Garfield
let's any man get beyond the rgures
marked on the tag put on him when
he was first Investigated.
Canfeld's play is almost entirely
with faro and roulette. He discards
entirely red and black. hazard and
those other cheaper gambling devices.
He does not care for poker, either,
for there isn't much quick money in
poker. Other short games he will
not allow. There are room in both his
club houses where poker can be play
ed, but the game isn't encouraged.
Can Be Liberal.
This King of Gamblers can be liber-
al enough on an occasion and has
many private charities. He delights
to give to churches that are in trouble.
Personally Garfield has few init
mates. He knows everybody, but is
usually by himself. He is a remark
able talker when he is on any topic
that interests him, and is particularly
good when discussing books. He reads
omniverously and collects asslduously.
He is a great newspaper reader, also,
and has all the papers with his late
breakfast, going through them with
the rapidity of an exchange editor.
He is married. His wife lives in
Providence. Garfield Is very consid-
crate of her in every way. he is
afraid If but one thing. lie does not
want to be arrested and has fortified
himself against hat contingency with
extraordinary success.

The hall divides the house into two

other the barroom, and next to that

Saturday night of a big season at Can
fields which is the greatest gambling
place IN the United States and. in
some respects, the greatest in the
world, for although Monte Carlo is
bigger, the limit at Canheld's is high

while the aggregate play is not so
large at Canfeld's the individual play,
in many instances, is much greater
than any at Monte Carlo.
About 2 o'clock in the morning
when the crowd had thinned a little,
but when there were still among the
unknowns a hundred well knowns, a
paunchy little man In evening clothes
came into the restaurant and walked
through the gambling rooms. He was
about 5 feet G inches tall. with board

Lots Of Whesls.

This is a big, high ceilinged room,
with great mirrors in massive frames
around the walls. rhe carpet is Of
the heaviest velvet pile. There are
six roulette wheels ranged around the
wall and two faro layouts. Back of
the gambling room, opening into 1t
through a wide arch is the restaurant
which extends the entire width of the
house. William c. Whitney says this
IL the best restaurant in the world
So do many other people who haya
eaten everywhere.
Il Is Canheld's philosophy that the
question Of limit so important both
to big players and big bank, Is a per
sonal equation largely There are
many men for whom he would not
raise the limit. There are many men
for whom he would gladly raise it..
Present worth. previous experience,
opportunity for big play in the fu-
ture by the applicant must all be con
sidered. There can be no hard and
last rule about it as there is at Monte
Carlo. Garfield has a fine discretion
In these matters.
Professionals Barred, Also.
Wen known professional gamblers
are not wanted at Canheld's. The
FIRST reason is that Canheld's patrons
may not, in some Instances, are to
rub elbows with professional gamblers
and the second is the reason why he
refused to deal faro for Pat sheedy.
Sheedy is known all over the world
as a gambler. He is a faro player OF
marvellous skin. Garfield would not
let him play because when sheedy
plays all the other players at the
board follow him. They wait until
sheedy bets then they make the same
bets. Garfield does not care TO sup.
port. at his own expense, 2 school
for faro players.
Another of Canheld's strong points
is the matter OF credit. Nov although
the bank must pay cash. many Of the
biggest players sometimes use mark
ers". A marker ia a slip OF paper ia
the cash drawer thar recites that
John Smith was handed $500 or Sl.ooI

Seven Men Under Arrest in New York

New York, Dec. s.-Morris Weitzman
 Moses Putterman, Jacob Polar and Samuel Hessman of Astoria, H., and Elias Fox, Moses Rosengarden and Moses Beanstalk of this city are under arrest, to be arraigned tomorrow be-
 fore United States Commissioner Morle of Brooklyn on charge of counterfeit ing. The arrests were made by Agent William P. Flynn of the secret service bureau and assistants. It is asserted that the men were engaged in making and passing counterfeit quarters, and in the basement of Weitzman's house was found a complete outfit for making these commercials as well as unfinished dies for ten-cent pieces and quantity of bogus quarters. Rosengarden is said by the officers to have done the en- graving and to have been the head of a gang of counterfeiters which operated in Philadelphia about six years ago He was convicted and sentenced, so the secret men soy, to a term of five years in the Cherry Hill prison None of the other prisoners, so far as known, have any previous record as counterfeiters.

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Passage of Measure to Meet Philippine
 Tari6 Decision Likely.

Washington, Dec. S.--The house this week probably will pass a measure to
 meet the situation created by the Phil 1ppines decision of the supreme court last Monday regarding the tariff. Up to the present time, however, the republi- can members of the ways and means committee have not decided upon the character of the measure which will be reported. A difference of opinion exists as to whether there should be tenn porary enactment of the Dingley rates on goods entering the United States from the Philippines, or whether per 1nanent scheme of tariff legislation for the islands should be prepared. It is understood that MT. Payne, chairman of the committee, and MT. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, favor the latter course. The republican members of the com mittee will meet again tomorrow. Of course, if it is decided to enact on the temporary measure the procedure will be exceedingly simple and it probably can be passed in day If, on the other hand, an etire scheme of tariff Legislation is to be enacted, more time will be consumed both in the prepara- tion and passage of the measure.

 Washington, Dec. S.-The reported assign ment of Monsignor Scalabrini of Placenza, Italy, as the successor of Cardinal Mar tinelli, the papal delegate in this country, is regarded as very improbable by officials of the delegation in this city.
