The device consists of a stack Of
10 silver half dollars glued together
and a notch cut in one side. into
which was slipped a bit of polished
steel, the full length of the stack Of
money.
This stack of half dollars was in
nocent looking, and to an unsophis-
ticated man, would appear to be
part of the cash of the player before
whom 1t was placed, when In reality
IT was a looking glass, by which the
dealer could see every card dealt
out, and thereby knew exactly what
hands were held by every man
around the table.
The piece of polished steel in the
back side of the stack of money
was a looking glass, which reflected
clearly every card as it was dealt
out, and the dealer, by dealing
slowly, and watching his dummy pile
of money, could count the spots on
every card, and then bet according

cate that fierce street fighting was In
progress, yesterday, between the mill
tary and the striking wOrkmen, who
barricaded the thOrOughfare in various
quarters of the city and offered resist

the streets are entirely in the hands of
the military and the mob and that it Is
unsafe to venture out to obtain details.

On Moroccan Situation is
'a Received at Berlin.
Dola|s 10 Same -IntImated Il
ls,yss Condition the Same.


Berlin, June 23.-2.02 p. M.-The
French note OH the subject of the pro-
posed Moroccan conference was hand
ed to the foreign office, this morning.
Owing to its great length the note had
to be sent by mail to Berlin instead of
by telegraph. The foreign office. while
declining to discuss the points Of the
note in detail. admit that 1t leaves
the situation where 1t was before. The
points of disagreement between Ger
many and France have not been re-
moved. 1t is expected that the negotia-
lions will continue for a long time be-
fore a positive result is reached.
Germany's answer to Premier Rou-
vier has not yet been considered. 1t
will require considerable time in or
der to meet all the points raised. While
the delay might under ordinary circum-
stances be of advantage in affording
time for the excitment to subside, Ger
man government circles note with
some concern that powerful intrigues
are going on, having for their object
war between Germany and France.
Germany's intentions remain thor
oughly pacific. but government circles
here apprehend the possibility that
these intrigues will result in inflam-
ing the French people against Ger
many and crea ting delicate and COM
plicated situation.

MATTERS TO BE SETTLED
Before Armistice Can Be Concluded
Says Mr.. Takahira.

Washington, June 23.-Mr Takahira,
the Japanese minister, called at the
White House, tonight, and conferred
with the President for three-quarters
of an hour.
When he left he was asked if there
were any developments regarding an
armistice between the Amy Of Russia
and Japan. Mr.. Takahirl would not
discuss the question, hut suggested
that there were some matters" to he
settled first.
The fact that the minister could give
no assurances regarding an armistice
prior to the converting Of the Wash
ington conference led TO confirm the
belief in official circles nere that little
Roadway has yet been maze in this di-
rcctiOn. Up to late hour, this after
noon. the Russian reply to the Presi-
dents suggestion regarding an armis-
tice had not been received.
In view of the fact that the Presi-
dent mas thus far addressed himself
simultaneously to both nelligcrent pow
ers, there is disposition to believe
that Mr.. Takahira may have brought
to the White House, tonight, an eX-
preston of Japans views upon an ar
misticc. 1t has all along been under
stood that Japan would re unwilling to
grant an armisticc at this time unless
thoroughly assured that Russia was
seriously DESTROYS Of peace. Whether
such assurances have been forthcom-
ing is not known.

Of affairs that has been brought to The
attention of the department of COM
pulSory education, following startling
revelations in various justice courts OF
Chicago in the last three weeks. That
such system exists To- an alarming
degree is the declaration Of Supt. w. L.
Bodine, who has secured the conviction
of Mrs. Ottilie KrOsnick in Justice
Prindivaile'S court, on the charge Ct
violating the compulsory education
law.
This is the tenth case of its kind
that l have had in the last three
weeks" said Mr.. BOdine. Judging
from the testimony of various witness
es at the trials of these cases, l am
convinced there are hundreds of chill
,ircn from institutions who are drudS-
ing as servants in many households OF
the city, without being sent to school,
Mrs. Krosnick was fined $50 and
costs, the limit in such cases. The two
children under her charge were Adelide
Walby, - years old. and Edward Rim
der. 10 years old. The woman said she
had taken the girl from a sectarian
orphan asylum in the city, eight years
ago. This child was found hard at work
over a washtub and it was testified at
the trial that she had been ill-treated
and compelled to work ct the hardest
kind of drudgcry an average of II
hours DAY. She could hardly read Or
write.
The boy WAS taken from the Home
for the Friendless when he was three
years old and the testimony showed
that he had been KEPT at work instead
OF being sent to school.

eral persons, many Of when are said
to have taken children from institutions
and forced them to do work far be-
yond their strength.

GERMANY DISAPPOINTED
With tho French Note-care Being
Taken Not to Offend France.

Berlin, June 23-7.z6 p. M.-The even
ing papers frankly express their dis
appointment with the French note.
Much had been staked on Premier Rou-
vier's ostensible wish to come to an
understanding with Germany. but the
Vosische Zeitung discussing the note
says that Rouvier is continuing the
fact that the French note leaves the
differences where they were before re-
garding their bearing upon the project
ed Moroccan conference. 1t is remarked
that Nj. Rouvier has just succeeded in
leaving room for an acceptance OF
the conference if this become absolute
ly necessary. But as the Post remarks
the French premier takes a stand that
looks strikingly like a polite. but
shame-faced refusal.
The National Zeitung in an evidently
inspired statements call attention TO
the warlike aspect which the British
Y,ress attempts to rive to the situation
whereas Germany Lies not believe thar
the present complications are such as
to Justify thoughts of war. This news
pares foreshadows Germany's rejection
of NJ. Rouvier's suggestion that France
and Germany reach a separate agree
ment OH certain points before submit
ting the Moroccan question to con-
ference. asserting that Germany MAIN
tains her opposition to any separate
arrangement.
While the newspapers plainly show
disappointment they all MAINTAIN a
calm tone There is no threatening ana
nothing is said which is calculated 10

LAMSDORFF'S ILLNESS
Slightly Checks Peace Negotiations
Between Russia and Japan.

Washington, June 23.-It is learned
through official sources that owing to
the Illness of Count Lamsdorff. the
Russian foreign minister, there has
been a slight check to the negotiations
affecting Russia and Japan. 1t Is
specifically stated, however. that this
does not imply that there has been any
hitch but simply that the negotiations
have been unavoidably delayed for the
reason given.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay had a brief talk. today, about the
status of the peace negotiations which
arc proceeding between Russia and
Japan. The only important develop
ment in the situation which has arisen
since President Roosevelt left Wash
ington, Tuesday night, is the reported
illness of Count LamsdOrlf. the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs.
The subject of the peace negotiations
was considered at the Cabinet meeting.
