Trinity M. E. Congregation Will Have
New Ediflce to Cost $4,000.

The official board Of Trinity M. e
church has decided upon the erection
Of a new church ediice to cost $4,000
Members of the board have subscribed
$4,000, and the work of getting the
additional subscriptions has already
commenced with enthusiasm. A special
committee is in charge of the new
church proposition. 1t consists of E.
L. Palmer, John Ferguson, E. E. Haw
G. r. Wilkinson and G.. M. Jones. The
plan is to erect the new. church on the
site of the present old building at
Taylor and Twenty-ffth avenues NE,
The decision to build a new church
was caused by the fact that to continue
use Of the old, $3.50 would have to be
expended in repairs, and also by the
fact that the congregation and Sunday
school has entirely outgrown the &C.
commodations furnished by the old
building. The church now has 400
members.

WEIGHED ON HIS
BIG POKER Loss
WHY PROMINENT MINNEAPOLIS
MAN rs TALKED ABOUT.
Principals in Affair Are Silent, but
1 Somehow the Story Has Come Out
and Is Causing Much Quiet Discus
sion-Repudiated Loss Said to Be
$4,000.

In the undercurrent of gossip around
town, where men of commercial proml-
nence and financial responsibility con-
gregate, and where affairs between gen
tlemen are discussed, there runs today
the story Of big poker game that
lis, in which man Of more than ordl
nary business and social prominence,
having dropped $4,000, "welched, =
and refused to make good.
Secretive as are the principals, and
quiet as is all comment regarding the
affair, the facts, nevertheless, remain.
1t is story that nobody knows, yet
ten laws of gentle breeding, which
make such affairs not permissible OF
open comment, and confne their discus
sion to the circles of the exclusive, have
not been broken. But an unfortunate
meeting and clash between two men
whose friendship has been severed by
the affair, in the lobby of an uptown
office building, and a later slight show IS
of embarrassment on the floor of the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday, start
ed the talk.
The man who, it is the gossip, "laid
down. on his losses and refused TIC
make good, is not a regular trader on
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
but devotes himself more particularly
to extensive outside interests, The Cos
sip, says that a long. run of hard luck
followed by a final loss of $4,000
turned him sour and he repudiated the
last loss. There is no law by which
gambling debt may be collected.
| Not thing was wrong about tht
game; only the sporting blood Of thu
players ran little higher and for ono,
! the usual limit was removed. One maj
who plays for the love of the pastim,
and stands ready to lose or win $1,000
or $4,000 any evening, for the sport o
pots we'll over that amount began tt
appear on the table. It was ittl
swift for him, he said.
Nothing can be done in the matter
The clubs and commercial bodies O
which the alleged welcher is a mem
Der might take action, but there is n
legal status at all to such case.
