NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The Rev. AL

Rev. DR.. David James Burrell. Senator
Platt's pastor, in the Marble Collegiate
church, this evening denounced gam
ping at Saratoga. He denounced the
people socially well-placed who have
lent their countenance to the gamblers
pursuit, and he denounced the pulpit
and the courty and State authorities
who have been silent while gaming

at cards, betting trifles. and many wo-
men Of good social standing follow this
road for its seemingly innocent begin

Mr.. Meyers said that the Square

crooked one was simply a thief"

.EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM
GOES INTO EFFECT TODAY
Members of Washington Police Force
Pleased With Change Ordered by
Major Sylvester.

Today the new eight-hour system will
he inaugurated by the Metropolitan po-
lice force. The officials say they are un
able to predict just what the system
will prove when put to the test, but the
general impression seems to be that it
will be q complete success.
The question of whether or not the
eight hour system will be maintained
rests entirely with the men. it is said.
If it proves satisfactory to them, and is
found feasible. it will in all proba bility
be continued. II, on the oi.ier hand, it
proves a failure or becomes unpopular
after time the old system will be re-
viveG.
The chief advantage of the new order
of things lies in the fact that the men
now have an opportunity to spend more
time at home with their families.

tains a FrlghJful
Injury.
SAVED HIS YOUNG BROTHERS. LIFE
Child's Foot Caught on Railroad Cross

urban Car-Leg Amputated at Emer

BY a remarkable act of heroism yes
terday afternoon that cost him the loss
of his right leg, little Charles Ericsson
Severe, the seven -year-old son of Mr..
William B. Severe, chief of one of the
divisions of the Postoffice Department,
saved his younger brother from hOrri
BILE death under the wheels of one of the
heavy cars of the City and Suburban
line at Riverdale. Md The smaller of
the two boys caught his foot in the car
track while crossing short distance
in front of one of the big cars that
was bearing down upon them at high
rate of speed. Little Charlie saw that
the heavy vehicle would strike his
brother before there was any possibility
of his freeing his foot, and instantly
realized the peril of his position. With
ont a moments hestancy he sprang
upon the track himself, tugged the lads
foot loose, and quickly pushed him out
of harms way before the car could reach
the spot.
But in his generous act the lad had
openly placed his own life in jeopardy.
In aiding his brother his own foot be-
came entangled in the cracks in the
planks, and before he could liberate 1t

Emergency Hospital ambulance was i'm
mediately summoned and the lad was re-
moved TO the institution. His leg was
merely hanging in place by few strands
of flesh, and had to be amputated at
once by the physicians. At late hour
last night the physicians stated that
he was standing the effects of the op-

that he would in all probability recover.

the affair and dsclaiming all heroism
for his deed in saving the life OF his
younger brother.
The exact details of the case could not
be fully learned last night, as the lad
was suffering too severely to say great
deal regarding the affair, and the small
er child was far too frightened to tell
coherent story.
But so far as the facts of the case
can be learned. the whole story of the
accident is one of remarkable cool
