GAMES OF ALL KINDS GOING.
New York Police Raid Gambling House
for Women.


New York, May ia gambling
house for women has been raided in
West Forty-third street by city detec-
t1ves. Gambling tables, roulette
wheels, racing charts and telephones
were confscated and the only man
found on the premises was arrested
on charges of conducting the place.
A dozen or more handsomely CARRIED
women were leaning excitedly over the
tables when the police entered. With
screams of alarm they ran to all parts
of the house. Some escaped over the
roof, but the others were found in
closets and in the coal cellar They
pleaded hard for mercy and after TAX
ing their addresses and reading them
a severe lecture the police allowed
them to go. A big crowd which had
assembled on the street jeered the
women as they passed out.
Apparently the place was primarily
q poolroom but had been fitted up
with gambling paraphernalia so the
habitues might find diversion between
the races.

Rojestvensky Has Not Asked to Be
Relieved From Duty.
st. Petersburg, May 19.-The fears
expressed here that owing to the re-
ported nervous breakdown of Vice Adj
miral Rojestvensky the Russian fleet
Ia the Far East would lose it's present
eommander-in-chief turns out to be
unfounded. Captain Zilotti, the aide
de-camp to Minister of Marine Avellan.
has given out statement that Rojest-
vensky has not applied to be relieved
from duty. However, the condition of
the Russian admirals health continues
to be a source of anxiety. 1t is con-
hrmed that the report that he had ap-
piled to be relieved may have arisen
out of the virtual decision, in view of
the condition of Rojestvensky's health,
to send Vice Admiral Birileff to Vladi-
vostok, where, in the event of Rojest-
vensky's success in the coming battle,
Birileff will take over the supreme COM
mand of the Russian naval forces in
the Far East and occupy post SIM
0ar to that of the late Vice Admiral
Makaroff at Port Arthur and of Vice
Admiral Skrydloff at Vladivostok.
Emperor Nicholas during the day
summoned Vice Admiral Birileff to
Tsarskoe Selo.

sUBTERFUGE ON PART OF
TEAM OWNERS.

Chicago, May 19.-The Team Own
ers' association met during the day to
appoint an arbitrator to pass on the
question of deliveries to the boycotted
stores. It had been reported that the
Transfers union had made such an
appointment or would do so. It turned
out, however, that the union had taken
no action.
When President Shea was informed
OF the purpose of the meeting of the
team owners he said no agreement
had been made to arbitrate deliveries
that he had not considered the ques-
ton and that, in view of the Injunction
proceedings, he did not want to 60 to
jail. He re yarded the move of the
team owners as subterfuge to keep
the Employers association "off the
necks" of the team owners. Shea also
said there would be no settlement un-
less the strikers were reinstated.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor denied that he had
had anything to do with the delivery
arbitration movement. He had moth
ing to do with arbitration, he said.

STOLE TO SAVE SONS LIFE
Pathetic Story Of Downfall of Des
Moines Cashier.

MoineS Cashier.
Des Moines, May 19.-Carl M. Spen-
Ger, former trusted employee of the
Des Moines National bank, was indict-
ed by the federal grand jury during
the day on a charge of embezzlement
and for alleged fraudulent entries in
the banks books. The amount of
Spencer's alleged shortage and for
which he is being prosecuted will not
exceed $4,000.
There is a pathetic story in connec-
ton with Spencer's confession, which
he made prior to the indictment. For
many years annually he had been TAX
ing an invalid son East for medical
treatment. He had been unable to
meet the expenses incurred by the
medical attention and to save the boys
life he took money from his employer.
Another clerk suspected Of the theft,
for which he was subsequently dis
missed from the bank, is completely
exonerated by .Spencer's confession.

Chapman of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
and adjutant of the post, was killed
with shot through the body. The
cause assigned is accident, but mas
much as loaded cartridges were not
used in the exercises, a suspicion is
manifested that someone in the ranks
with a grudge against the young off,
Ger, used the occasion to satisfy a
resentment. A careful inquiry has

BELIEVED TO BE HEADED FOR
ISLAND OF HAiNAN, WHERE

Singapore, May 19.-The Russian
fleet was in latitude 1890 north and
longitude 111.30 east (about 100 miles
northeast of Cape Varella, coast of
Annam) during the morning of May
16, according to a report brought here
by the British steamer Hong Wan l. =
The German steamer Segovia sight
Cd forty-twO Russian ships forty miles
from Cape Varella May Is, steaming
slowly north.
The latitude and longitude in which
the Russian feet was reported by the
British steamer Hong Wan l. does not
indicate that a naval battle is i'm
mlnent. The Russians were on May
IL only about $50 miles from the coast
OF AMMAN and apparently heading for
the waters of the island of Hainan,
near which, according to a Hongkong
dispatch, $50 junks laden with provi-
slons were waiting for the Russian
deet. Even in case Admiral Rojest-
vensky decides not to take these sup
plies on board or if the Hongkong re-
port is incorrect the Russian feet May
16 was still about 700 miles from the
southern part of the island of For
mosa, where, it has been asserted, Ad-
m1ral Togo may give battle and it is
doubtful II the feet can now make
more than 200 miles a day under the
most favorable circumstances.

trate the question Of whether the
teamsters should deliver to boycotted

The declaration Of Shea came as a
surprise to all concerned, as it was
explicitly stated that Shea had made
such an agreement. At the time Of
Shea's statement the team owners
were in conference selecting their
member of the arbitration board,
which they declared both they and
Shea had agreed to.
