GAMBLING IN SIAM.
Edict of the King an Interesting Docu-
ment.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BANGKOK, April D. 1905.
Gambling in Siam has been abolished for
a period of three years.
The notice issued to this effect by the
minister of finance is an interesting docu-
ment.
His majesty the king, says the minister,
has long been impressed by the fact that
although the revenue derived from gamb-
ling is an important factor in the finances
of the kingdom, the evils resulting there
from are much greater than the benefits.
People expend in gambling not only their
own wealth, but the wealth of others. They
devote to gambling time during which they
should be attending to their work.
Large sums of money, which come into
the hands of the gambling farmers, also
leave the country, and gambling is respon-
sible for much Of the crime that is COM
mitted.
Its abolition would, therefore. not only re-
suit in an Improvement of the morals of
the people and increased industry, but
money expended in 1t would remain in the
country, adding to the wealth of the COM
munity.
Owing to the loss to the exchequer caused
by the suppression of gambling, fresh taxes
will have to be raised.

ALMOST AXPHYXIATED.
Young Woman in the Northeast Found
Unconscious but Reconstructed

About l o'clock this morning Miss Zoa
Hogerty of 1012z 9th street northeast was
found unconscious in her bed room, with the
gas escaping from a jet in the room. She
was hurriedly removed to the Casualty
Hospital, where prompt treatment by the
physicians in charge soon restored her to
consciousness, little the worse for her ex-
perience. Miss Hogerty could not explain
how the gas came to be turned on in the
ROOM
The police are led to believe that the
young woman lay down to take a nap with
the gas lighted, and that the light was
extinguished by draft. She was reported
to be resting we'll at an early hour this
morning.

Burial Place Discussed.

The suggestion that the remains of Gen.
Lee might be inferred in this city was dis
cussed by many of his friends and rela-
tives here this morning. No authentic in
formation could be obtained in Alexandra
or the subject but it was the general i'm
preston that his body would be taken TO
Richmond for burial. On the other HAND,
there were good reasons for supposinS that
Alexandria would be chosen for his last
resting place. Chief among these Is the
fact that the remains of his father, sydney
Smith Lee: his mother two brothers, Rob-
crit Lee and Smith Lee. and two of his chll-
dren are buried in the family lot in od
Christ Church cemetery, which is situated
the southwestern border of this city.

mains of many other relatives o. the fam-

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
DEATH OF GEN. LEE. OCCASIONS
PROFOUND SORROW.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, April %, 1905.
Profound regret is expressed everywhere
in this city over the death of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, who was frequent visitor in many
homes here and a familiar figure on the
streets of Alexandria. The news of his
death was in practically every household at
an early hour this morning, and was an
absorbing topic of conversation in business
and social circles throughout the day. Gen.
Lee was, perhaps, better known personally
in Alexandria than in any other city in Vir-
ginia. excepting Richmond. where he had
made his home for many years. Many of
his near relatives reside in this city, and
he has repeatedly visited at their homes,
especially while he was a young man AS
a public speaker his voice was very familiar
to the people of Alexandria. He was
popular orator before r. f. Lee Camp
Confederate Veterans, of this city, and was.
by virtue of the addresses he delivered,
made an honorary member of the camp.
The regular monthly meeting of the vet
Grams will be held Monday evening, when, 1t
is stated, appropriate resolutions will be
adopted deDlOYing his death.

SARAH'S BRAVE FIGHT.

Sarah Bernhardt's spectacular
 fight against the theatrical
 syndicate and her announce
 nent that she will tour Texas
 under tent, on account O. inability
 to book at the trust theaters, in the
 Greenwall circuit, has excited con-
 siderable comment at the headquar- ters of the Greenwall circuit and where very powerful influences are cooperating with David Belasco, Mrs. Fiske and other in their warfare to secure Independent houses throughout the country. Henry Greenwall who owns or leases theaters in Dallas, Waco. Fort Worth Houston, Calves ton, Beaumont and San Antonio, was some time ago forced to take boOkincS from Klaw and Erlanger, and as the syndicate has refused bookings for Mme Bernhardt in Texas, the tent tour was determined upon. The in- dependent managers have secured one and possibly two houses in New Or leans, and bids have already been let for Fourton's theater and another is also announced. Several infuen- tial publications in New Orleans. New York and elsewhere, with David Be lasco, have been Waging a relentless warfare on the theatrical trust for several years, and the accession of Mme Bernhardt to the roll of inde besdent stars has given the battle fer the independent drama a new i'm, petus heightened by the bizarre man. ncr in which the tragedienne will conduct her campaign through the state of Texas.
