BRIDGE WHIST UNDER THE BAN
Influence Of Game on Legitimate Whist
Is Harmful.


| New York, July 1a.--The strength o
bridge whlst's hold on the card-play'
ling public was shown at the congress
lof the American Whist League held a
the Hotel Majestic last week. On,
Iofficer of the league said that nearly
twice as much bridge had been playet
lat this congress as at any other HI
ever had attended. Most Of the game:
took place after midnight. 1t was moi
Unusual for game of bridge to begir
at midnight and last until or O'clock
in the morning.
The stakes in most cases were mod
crate, generally about quarter of q
cent point. although some games ran
as high as 10 cents a point. which is
equivalent TO a So limit poker game,
one Chicago couple lost $3.50 at sim
gle sitting to a pair from Boston. The
losses In most cases did not exceed
$50 or $50 a session. In respect for
the rules of the league. which forbid
bridge, the games were played in pri-
vate rooms or in specially arranged
card rooms.
The local players are divided on the
subject of bridge. The New York
Whist Club has among It's members the
recognized authorities on bridge in the
United States. and many Of its MEM
bers are devoted to the game. The
Knickerbocker Whist Club represents
the conservative element of the game,
and will not allow game of bridge
to be played in the club rooms. Geo.
S. Adams, of the club. is strongly op-
posed to the new game. I'VE do not
allow" he said. "a game OF bridge Of
any kind to be played in our club
rooms. We believe Its influence on
whist is harmful. and we do every
thing we can to prevent Its getting a
foothold in our club. It Is nothing
but gambling game"
The movement begun over year
ago to secure the recognition OF bridge
by the American Whist League. and
have the laws codified by that body,
has not been pushed. The committee
on laws Of the present congress has
not even been approached by the de-
votees Of bridge. The attitude Of the
league viii remain, as heretofore,
strongly opposed to bridge. The pres
ent rules require the expulsion Of any
club which permits bridge to be played
in its club rooms. This penalty has
never been enforced, but 1t has been
necessary to issue informal warnings
in two cases. The rule is still general |
ly evaded by clubs whose members are
in the new game. The
most common way is to allow games
In the afternoon and at times when
regular games are not in progress. No
,lub permits bridge to be played when
here is a formal game Of whist on.

New York Officials Stumble Onto
Plan by Which Government
Vas Defrauded.
TRUNK LABELS ARE STOLEN
Bogus Pastors Put ON Boxes and
the Unsuspecting Inspectors
Passed Them-Several Ar.
rests Made.

New York, July 11.-Behind the ar
rest Of the wireless telegraph oper-
ator and a hospital steward employed
on one of the largest trans Atlantic
liners, charged with smuggling Sumat-
ra tobacco, the customs officials claim
to have unearthed new and ingenious
method of smuggling diamonds. silks,
tobacco and other merchandise which
should pay high duty.
Frauds ON the government of enor-
nous proportions are said to have
been perpetrated by this method. Its
successful conduct required combin-
alton Of expressmen. steamship en-
ployes and possibly government off,
cials. Its beneficiaries and possibly its
promoters are believed to be mer-
chants of this city some Of the men
being wealthy AMI prominent.
Smuggling in trunks, carried as
passengers baggage, upon which labels

erly examined and passed by the In
spectors were surreptitiously pasted.
is the method. In addition to the per-
sons mentioned, two others have been
arrested and large force Of special
treasury agents is at work seeking
other persons accused Of participation
In the frauds.
Trunks containing the merchandise
which the conspirators arranged to
smuggle into the United States are un-
der the scheme said to have been in
use. marked with private mark and
placed with the hundreds of other
trunks owned by the passengers. On
arrival at this port, the confederate of
the smugglers on the ship was in a
position to reach the baggage and
upon the trunks of the smugglers they
pasted the special label, indicating
that an inspector had examined the
contents Of the trunk and found moth
ing dutiable therein. When the GUS
toms officials came across a trunk
with such label on 1t, they passed
on. The trunk was then carried to
the pier and passed into the hands Of
its owners. To get these labels was
the first requisite of the successful
prosecution of the new method. They
have been printed and placed in the
hands Of men who could afix them |
to the trunks or they may have been
washed off trunks properly passed by
expressmen who are engaged to
transport them from the piers. In a
single trunk passed by the duplicate
label system, a smuggler might bring
into America enough diamonds to make
him Independently wealthy. How far
the ramifcations and the extent of this
new scheme have gone has not yet
been learned. The exposure was pre-
mature and was practically forced upon
the customs men, who were working on
and waiting for bigger game. They
were compelled to take action through
the wrong address placed upon a
trunk, found later to contain leaf to-
baeco intended for manufacturer of
cigars in Brooklyn. The duty on the
leaf, of which there was 56 pounds, is
81 pound. The other trunks which
came by the same steamer were found
to contain 1877 pounds of Sumatra leaf.
One Of the prisoners is said to have
revealed the secrets Of the crowd.

New York, Nov. 2. -Judge Parker
addressed meetings at Cooper Union
and Carnegie Hall and was gwen
reception at the Democl attic Club to-
night, which was the busiest evening
programme arranged for him during
the campaign. AT both meetings the
candidate was given great ovatlons,
and at the reception following nearly
every member of the club and many
invited guests shook hands with him.
Judge Parker Will make a hurried
tour of Connecticut tomorrow. visiting
Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford,
at each of which places he will speak;
lie and his party will travel by special
train and return to New York the same
night.
One of the most rousing receptions
of the campaign was given Judge
Parker at Cooper Union, where he ad-
dressed large meeting. held under
the auspices of the Ger man- American

substituted for former President Cleve-

address the gathering, but was COM

OPERA HOUSE.
Camille,

The Herald would like to make ex-
tended mention of ''Camille" as pre-
sented at the Opera House last night by
Miss Helen Aubrey and excellent sup.
porting company, but the pressure OF
other news today makes it impossible.
Miss Aubrey had given evidence in
roles of less strength of her finished pow.
er as an actress. but it took part like
Camille" to test her true strength,
grace and artistic conception, and from
the beginning OF the play to che death
scene she carried her audience with her
through every emotion. At times tears
we're seen in many eyes and though
the play is long one there we're no
weary listeners. MI. Dudley as Almond
Duval was above criticism and Mr..
Frank TobiI as CASTOR Rieux won
manv friends.

Sid DooIeY Loses Two Houses. NO

Two cottages belonging to Sid
Dooley situated on School street be-

destroyed by fire Wednesday night at
about O'Clock.
One of the cottages was vacant and
some repair woIk was being done on
It. The otheI was occupied by Rev.
MI. byers and family.
The fire caught in the vacant house
and soon spread TO the house adjoining.
the two houses beIng only a few feet
apart.
| Mr.. ByeIs and family had retired
ana the burning house was almost fall
ing IN upon tnsm when neightoI
discovered the blaze and awakened
them. Some of the family escaped
only in theiI night clothes and none
were able 10 secure all their clothing.
The family had no insurance on tbelT
belongings ana as they were people
of slender means the loss leaves them
in desperate circumstances and IN need
of assistance.
But even had the alarm been turned
In when the fire first started. the ire
department would have been poweIless,
tor it happened again as 1t has hap
pened in the past that there was no
water pressure The fire company
could not throw stream over twelve
feet in height. The escape from
serious confederation is due alone TO
the fortunate fact that the burning
buildings were isolated.
Members of the police department
state that there has never been pressure
of consequence at the plug used; that the
elevation is too great
The plugs were put there. however,
presumably for the purpose OF giving
service. The city has to pay for them,
and the citizens of that locality pay for
fire protection, and protection is due
them as we'll as it is due any other tax
payer in the city Ii the plugs give no
protection the Company ought not to re-
ceive any compensation.
