GAMBLING FOR CHARITY
Latest Subterfuge Of ''scotty" Fer
guson Who Endows Beds in a
Seattle Hospital.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Tacoma, Wash, June 16.-The state
law making gambling a felony has gone
into effect, but it remained for the
gamblers of Seattle to originate a scheme
whereby they hope to. evade the pro-
visions of the law. 'Scotty' Ferguson,
one of the best-known gamblers in the
Pacific northwest, together with several
other gamblers, has Incorporated a COM
pany to be known as the Seattle
Charitable Association club.
Incorporation papers have been duly
filed which announce that the object of
the club Is to make money for charity.
Ferguson's first act was to endow three
beds in the Wayside Mission hospital
and then start up a Chinese lottery game
to pay the expenses of the beds. The
game was running in good shape when
the police stepped in and arrested the pro-
prietor. ..... .--a.... s'.-
The trial Of the case will prove an in
teresting one, as Ferguson says he has
been advised by his attorneys that he
cannot be molested when he is able to
show that the earnings Of his game go
to charity. The prosecuting attorney says
it is only a subterfuge and that Ferguson
can be dealt with the same as If he did
not try to cover his game with the mantle
Of charity.

Ideas and Business Methods in the Law
He defined the true lawyer as follows:
1.-THE true lawyer is one who by that
protected patience which Button has de-
clared to be the equivalent Of genius or
as Carlyle pharses it, The transcendent
capacity for taking palms, has mastered
the principles Of law as we'll as the te-
dious details Of their technical applica-
ton to the affairs of life; who loves jus
tice so thoroly that he tries to make it
synonymous with law; who esteems honor
above riches and self-respect above popu-
lar acclaim, and who scorns all meanness
and trickeries and holds his word above

San Francisco, June 16.-J. A. Chaffee,
famous as the original Of the hero in
Bret Iarte's story, '.Tennessee's Pard-
ner," is in an Oakland sanitariuno.
Chaffee has lived since 1S49 in a small
Tuolumne county mining camp with his
partner Chamberlain. In the early DAYS
he saved Chamberlain from the vigilance
committee by a plea to Judge Lynch
when the vigiantes had a rope around the
victims throat. It was the only case on
record in the county where the vigilantes
gave way in such a case Chamberlain
was accused Of stealing the miners gold
but Chaffee cleared him. Bret Harte wove
his famous story around this incident.

JEWSAPPEAL TO U. S.
Representatives Of B'Nai Birth Call
Upon the President Regarding
the Kishinef Massacre.
They Declare the Gear Is Being Kept
in Ignorance Of the True
Facts.

Washington, June 16.-Thru their rep
resentative association, B'Nai Birth, the
Jews Of America have laid their case be-
fore President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay and they are content to abide by
whatever the executive decides is best.
The council besought the president to
use his good offices to secure the ear Of
the car. They declared that the car Is
being deliberately kept in ignorance by
the bureaucrats who surround him of the
terrible treatment melted out to Jews in
every corner Of Russia.
They expressed conviction that II the
car knew Of the indignities and atroci-
who are still his loyal subjects, he would
certainly take steps to alleviate their con-
dition.
The president and Secretary Hay lis
tened with the deepest interest and sym
pathy. Last night a statement was given
out consisting Of a memorandum sub
mitted by the BNai Birth, a tentative
draft OF a petition to the car, which it
was desired this government should offici-
| ally or. semi officially assist in delivering
to the car and procuring a reply thereto,
| and copies Of the replies Of Secretary Hay
and President Roosevelt to his callers.
Memorandum Submitted.
The memorandum says the facts con-
corning the Kishinef massacre have APP
palled and Mortified not only the Jews in
Russia and elsewhere, but the whole
American people who want something
done. and whose hostility to Russia, if
nothing Is done, will become intensified.
| The Jews, it says, likewise are fearful
| Of the future. 1t is recognized that the
| situation Is different from that in Ru-
| mania, inasmuch in Russia the Jews
are fleeing from mobs operating in con-
| travention Of Russian law, while in Ru-
| mania 1t is the laws that make it I'M
| able for them to live there.
The following methods were submitted
| for discussions: ..
| "a petition to the car to which the
| BNai will get the signatures of leadine
men in various states, our government tc
assist unofficially or semi officially in Sc
curing the delivery Of this petition to the
! car and in procuring a favorable reply
thereto, either: by a direct communication
or some other form Of public expression
Using The Kishinef and other recent
| incidents of more or less similar nature
as grounds, an official invitation by the
| United States, addressed to all the DOW
ers, to an international conference, tt
| consider prosecutions and expressions
growing out Of racial and religious preju.
dices and hatred and to protect civiliza
t1on and international concord from; thu
evil effects Of such prosecutions and Oh
