SPOKANE GAMBLERS
READY TO QUIT
At Midnight Wednesday Night When
the Law Gees Into Effect.

On and after next Thursday not a
public gambling house will be open in
Spokane, says the Spokesman Review.
The new gambling Jaw. which makes
it a felony punishable by imprisOn-
ment in the penitentiary for from one
to three years, to conduct any gamb-
ling game in the state of Washington
goes into effect next Wednesday night
at midnight, Harry Green, Doc" H.
G.. Brown and Dutch Jake, repre-
senting the three principal gambling
will obey the law. and that it is gen
orally understood that all the smaller
places would do likewise
On the ether hand. the Warwick
pool room will not close John Con-
drOn proprietor of the Warwick. said ::
We viii CIOse up our gambling
rooms. but SO far as the pool room is
concerned, the opinion is universal
that the law does not apply to it. and
accordingly We will not close it. We
have no intention 10 violate the law
however, and if anybody can show us
that pool rooms are illegal. We will
close it, None OF us has any desire
to do stunt in the penitentiary.
When the gambling bill was up fol
passage Senator Splawn of North
Yakima offered an amendment spe-
officially exempting pool selling from
the operations of the law. He subse
quently withdrew the amendment or
the assurance of several lawyers in
the senate that the law did not apply
to pool selling.
Test Case Not Decided Upon.
Doc Brown was asked if the
gamblers of the state had decided tc
make test case Of the law
Il don't think any decision has beer
reached was the reply. In any
event We will all close up next week
and then decide upon a test case at
terWard. If a test case is decided up0r
one man will be selected to make it
and there will be no other gambling
while the case is pending"

said before ieaving that he and his
partners had agreed that their gamb-
lag rooms should be closed next week.
He said that all the gambling houses
would do the same thing.
Slot Machines in Doubt.
Slot machines are specifically re-
ferred to in the gambling bill. and it
has been supposed that they were in
cluded in its provisions. A separate
bill, making it mere misdemeanOr
TO conduct a merchandise nickel in
the slot machine. was also passed by
the legislature, and the cigar men may
fight to keep their machines on thu
ground that it was not the intention
OF the legislature, as shown by the
passage OF separate act. to include
slot machines in the felony bill. Frank
Smith and other cigar men say it has
not been determined what will be done
about the machines.
Attorney Generals Opinion.
In order to learn just when the laws
passed by the late legislature would
go into effect. The Spokesmaa-Review
yesterday wired its Olympia CORE
spOndent to get the opinion of the
attorney general on the subject. In
reply the following telegram was re-
ceived:
Attorney General Stratton says
that the laws passed by the last leg
lslature, except those which carried
emergency clauses, will go into effect
on June II; that is. after midnight Of
June 10. Laws which carried emery
ency clauses went into effect immedi-
ately upon their approval by the gov
ernor."
The gambling law and the nicke,
IN the slot machine law did not carry
emergency clauses.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-06-09

is a story that while in LonuOn some
time ago, he charged John V. and C.
B. Farwell of Chicago $4,000 for giving
some information to their English So
licitor about the laws OF the Unite
States bearing on the sale of their
Texas lands. and | know where he
made a life enemy of one of his
clOesL friends by sending him a bill
for advice given on a legal question
in what was supposed TO be a friendly
conversation.
In discussing that instance and the
Farwell affair Mr.. Reed took the
ground that if ne had been a tailor and
a friend hau asked him for a suit of
clothes he would certainly have ex-
pected pay for the material and the
work. and his legal knowledge having
been acquired by hard labor and study
could not be given away. as he eX-
pressed it. like salvatiOn.' He was
the subject OF great deal of criticism
in this respect. He was called avari-
ciCus and elpuriOus, but never dis
honest. and in 1896. when he was
making a camaigl fpOr the presiden-
tial nomination there was some unfa-
yOrabIe comment about his acceptance
of financial assistance from friends
when there was really no excuse for
him to incur any expenses, or spend
any money. Mr.. Reed explained, how
ever. that ne had no source of income
except his salary. which as speaker
was $4,000 a year He lived in such a
quiet way that it was said he never
spent more than half of it.
Those who We're most familiar with
his affairs would have been surprised
if his estate had turned out as much
as $25O.O00. The general estimate va
ried from $1,000 TO 5000, 900. al
though it was known that his brief
connection with the law firm of Simp-
son. Thacher & Barnum had been I'M
usually profitable.
SpecuIations Were Lucky.
The fact that he had 1852, 900 cash
On deposit with his brokers at the time
of his death indicated the source of a
considerable part of his money. He
enjoyed an intimate acquaintance
with several of the heaviest operators
Oh Wall street. and his speculatiOns
must have been very Fortunate
1t was also a surprise that he had
retired from his law partnership be-
fore his death. No announcement had
been made of the fact, and none of
his friends in this city We're aware
that he no longer retained the pro
fessional connection which had been
50 extensively advertised This con-
firms. however. the story that he in
tended to leave New York and re-
tuIn to Washington to reside. He told
me thai he was thinking of doing so
because the atmosphere was more con
genial her ani the expense of living
was So much less.

Than Supposed
liz ALWAYS PLEADED POVERTY
The Car of the House Received Big
Fees for His Lectures and
Opinions.

Chicago. HI-William f. Curtis in
a Washington special 20 the Record
Herald, says:
The friends Of the late Thomas Is.
Reed in Washington were astOnished
10 read a dispatch in the morning pa
pers stating that according TO the Of
fetal report Of his administrator he
left a personal estate valued at $431,-
900 net. after the payment OF all debts
and obligations and all fees OF al
ministratiOn. This fortune was found
invested in gilt edge stock and bonds.
Mr.. Reed always pretended to be
very poor, but some of his intimate
friends were convinced long ago that
his poverty was an affeCtatiOn. be
cause thew knew of large fees re-
ceived by him from time to time for
legal services and literary work. He
never wrote a line or made speech
for nothing Each of the many arti
Giles which from time to time appear
ed in the magazines from his pen
brought him $500 and | know Of on
instance at least in which he received
500 from a New York newspaper for
an interview he prepared with him
self upon current topic. His lectures
brought him $500 a night, and occa-
sionally in large cities like new York
and Boston he received $1,000. The
year before he left congress he de
livered five lectures in one week for
which he received a check for $4,000.
His Fees Were High.
He estimated his legal services at
a very high value, and unless his
clients made a bargain with him in
advance they were sure to be surpris
ed when they received his bills. There
