WILLING TO TAKE TAINTED MONEY.
Straight Edge Industries Issues Appeal
Opportunity for Some Philanthrouist

There is one institution in this city which has
no objection to tainted money; in fact 1t prefers it.
This is the Straight Edge Industries-an Industrial
Settlement. at No. Abingdon Square. Its founder
Wilbur F. Copeland in appeal to carry on the
work OF the institution said in last months issue
Of Straight Edge" the organ Of the Settlement:
Tainted money is especially acceptable for verify
there is more pleasure in restoring to the channels
OF useful industry real wicked dollar than there
is in spending nnety-nine righteous dollars for
mere talk
Mr.. Copeland recently appealed to Jacob H. schfff
to invest $500 furnish for the Straight Edge
Industries permanent home. leasing It to the
Settlement for twenty years, with the privilege of
purchase. Mr.. Copeland told Mr. Schf that 'the
fifteen twenty persons who work there can pay
rent to you for the support of professor of social
science just as easily as we can pay 1t for the
support Of ordinary, uninteresting landlord who
make no pretence Of trying TO uplift the human
race" Mr. Schiff replied that he could not act
upon the proposition.
Mr.. Copeland has now submitted the same prop
osition to President Butler Of Columbia He wrote
to him yesterday:
The same proposition IS open to you IN placing
some Of the millions of Columba's endowment, or
advising prospective benefactors how TO invest
money for Columbia's benefit.

on its face to be the most promising clew came to

a freight train when injured. A detective who
hurried to Port Jervis telephoned that he was
satisfied that the injured man Girard. More
detectives and neighbor of Girard were sent to
Port Jervis. and found that the first was mistaken
From AIiddletown story that Girard had
spent part Of Wednesday night in empty box
in the Ontario and Western yards. A negro
tried to turn him to the police but his com
panion got away.
The West Chester police thought soon after mid
night that they had found Grard. The West Chester
men reported that a man, presumably Girard, had
dodgeu into a house near Fort Schuyler. While
the police were getting ready TO surround the house
the men say ''Girard" chased them away with a
revolver. When the police did get there however
there was no trace Of anybody.

POOLROOM MEMS PLANS.
Likely To Be Scramble for Profitable
Business of Supplying NezCs.

There are likely to be fewer poolrooms in this
city the coming winter than at any time in the
history Of horse racing. II there are 1t will
not be due to any sudden and voluntary I'M
provenent In the makeup of the poolroom pro-
prietors, but because of their desire to place
in their own pockets every dollar they can see
When the Western Union Telegraph Company
recently approved a recommendation of the ex-
ecutive committee Of It's board of directors to
put an end to it's department that collected and
distributed horse race reports it virtually handed
to the racetrack news syndicates business
more valuable, if properly managed, than many
a klondike gold mine.
With the prospect of becoming immensely rich
in a short time, the poolroom men have begun
fight to get the largest share at least and If
possible all the profits from the "horse racing
news service business" abandoned by the tele-
graph company.
Since this abandonment by the telegraph COM
pany the majority Of poolrooms outside this
city have received racetrack reports from the
Metropolitan Turf News Company. of Louisville,
and more than a half dozen local syndicates
have furnished news to the local rooms. In the
last few days, however, two syndicates have been
formed, it is said to collect and distribute the
racetrack news service for all points. and there
runors of other similar companies being
formed in the near future. Should twenty or
more syndicates engage in the struggle in the
coming winter for the profitable business which
the Western Union Telegraph Company has left
in the hands of men who have been identified
with the racing game for years The racetrack
news service is likely to be so unsatisfactory that
most of the poOrooms will have to close their
doors. The person or persons who get control
Of all the ends OF the racetrack service will
be the owner or owners of the greatest Of race
track prizes.
At present the local syndicates are apparently
friendly terms with one another. But each or

being the only collectors and distributes Of race
