years when his case was sent back for
a new trial by the supreme court on
the grounds that the judge of the dis.

Labor Troubles In Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-With Il walk
out Of nearly 1000 structural iron
workers, building operations now in
progress in Chicago and surrounding
suburbs will come practically to q
standstill next Wednesday morning.
Besides marking the fret important
labor disturbances of the year, the
iron workers strike may bring in its
action the greateet upheaval in the
building industry. There r. no d.
rect indications at the present that
sympathetic strikes will occur. but
the iron workers are affiliated with
the Associated Building Trades. which
recently have outlined a policy Of
supporting kindred unions In thi'
way. The iron workers, whose occu'
patton is confined chiefly to the cree
ton of the structural frame work OF
s~kyscrapers and other large build
ings, have been receiving 584 cents an
hour. A month ago they presented
demands for an increase to 62a cents
an hour. The demands were rejected
by the contractors who compose the
Iron league.

What Constitutes Gambling.

HELENA, April 26.-County Attor.
ney H. S. Greene, of Cascade county
has propounded to Attorney General
Galen a number of questions relative
to the games not usually played in
public gambling houses, and making
inquiry If their conduct or praticipa-
ton therein is prohibited. Attorney
General Galen being absent, Assist
ant Attorney General L. NJ. Hall to-
day prepared and submitted a reply.
The games referred to we're solo, when
played in clubs or in social way, the
results being that the low man shall
pay for the drinks; the shaking of dice
in a social way at a bar, and counter
card machines.
The opinion states that the law pro-
hibits the playing Of certain games
and the shaking Of dice for money,
checks, credits, or any representative
OF value of any property or thing.
When the object of the play is soci'
ability, amusement or pastime, it is moi
gambling: when however. the object O
the game is merchandise, or money, l,
is gambling. Treating is not pro
htbited by any law, either before o,
after any game or during the progrest
of a game. Playing for gain or prof
is necessary to constitute gambling

reported today, but it proved impos.
sible to SO extend the understanding
as 10 have it include the fixing of a
date for taking the final vote on the
bill as a whole. Mr.. Tillmsn first
proposed a final vote on May 8 and
Mr.. Morgan was the only senator to
make objection. His opposition was
sufficient however, to Illustrate the de.
sign and the next most feasible course,
the disposition of amendments, was
decided upon. The general impression
among senators is that the final vote
will be reported within a week from
the time Of the beginning of the con-
sheraton of amendments.

DISTRIBUTING RELIEF.
Enormous Quantities Of Food Needed BY
Homeless San Franciscans.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-The re.
turn OF pleasant weather brought a
great increase in the number of refu.
gees in the parks and at the Presidio.
The indications are that all open
spaces In the city will be densely
populated during the greater part of
the ummer. For the most part these
depend upon charity. although the
number will o be decreased, as a
large number of the men will be able
within a few days, to secure employ.
ment in the building operations.
General Greeley has prepared an
estimate which shows that something
like 1000 tons of food have been dis.
tributed in ten days. The daily dis.
tribution of food is o estimated at
about 1,40O tons, which costs about
$l40, 900. This does not include the
cost of clothing given away.
The problem Of preventing footing
is still a grave one, particularly amid
the ruins Of Chinatown and GU the
locations where j~ewelry stores and
pawn shops stood before the fire.
The soldiers have been forbidden to
shoot and this complexities matters,
as the thieves will not allow them
selves to be taken unless they arr
held at the point Of a gun.
A hundred aud fifty members of tn,
state national guard, mostly from
Oakland, and who were off duty
were driven from the ruins of China
town, where they were seeking loot O.
relics. Shots we're fired against tn
walls of one of the buildings.
Souvenir hunting seems to be
} popular fad, in which even pvominen
business men and society folks ar
engaged. Many of them were drive
from the ruins Of Chinatown at tn
point of bayonet. Even the wome
seem willing to risk burning thei
shoes and clothing in their eagernes
to unearth something of value fro'
!, the smoking ruins.
