Brewer was ..up against it." He was
practically penniless, in none too good

parents, was there too, he said.
When Bliss plan was outlined to Brew
er he showed his gratitude and said he
would accept his opportunity. Arrange
ments are being made to take him to
Wyoming where Bliss is prospering in
the lumber business.
Brewer also will be given all the ad-
vantages within Bliss reach, 1t is said
and one of the first considerations will
be an education, probably in engineer
ing.
Brewer is well known to the police
as Cub" Drink has kept him in the
gutter, but his one act of heroism has
always obtained leniency for him.

Valuable Evidence Against
"Crapshooters' Arrested in
Resort of Ned Lannigan
Has Been Tempered With
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Is VERY INDIGNANT
Says His Orders That Chalk
Figures and Squares on Bill
lizard Table Covers Remain
Intact We're Not Obeyed

The strained relations existing be-
tween District Attorney Langdon and
the police have been intensified by
discovery made by Langdon on Friday
afternoon. 1t was in connection with
the raid last Monday night on the
gambling g-house of Ned Lannigan. 145n
Powell street. The District Attorney.
accompanied by Al McCabe, his secre-
tary, and Assistant District ATTORNEY
Harrison, visited the place about
o'clock in the morning, after the raid,
and took note Of the fact that on the
green baize Of the billiard tables the
squares and figures used in crap games
were plainly discernible The figures
"S" and '6 were more noticeable than
the others.
The District Attorney called the at
tention of Sergeant ellis and two
policemen to the chalk marks and
figures. and also that of two policemen
who were detailed to blockade the
place. He instructed the police to SEE
that the chalk marks on the green
taize were not obliterated, as they
would form strong point in the evil
dence against the gamblers
LAYOUT WIPED OFF.
On Thursday Langdon sent word to
Chief Dinan that he wanted the two
billiard tables brought to the Hall of
Justice. On Friday he was told by
Sergeant Williams that the tables had
been taken apart by an expert and that
the green co.,ers had been brought to
the Hall of Justice. When the, District
Attorney examined the covers there
was not sign of the squares or figures,
but instead several irregular lines had
been drawn on them with coarse chalk.
Langdon at once communicated with
the police, and yesterday morning the
men who were present at the raid and
those who had been on the blockade
since We're brought before him in Cap
tain Dukes offlcea They all denied
having seen any figures on the covers,
except two. and Duke said these two
would testify to that effect Langdon
did not hide his indignation, and
wanted to know why the evidence had
been obliterated and by whom, but he
could not get satisfactory answer.
In the afternoon Langdon had four
of the gamblers and the co1ored stew
ard of the place brought before him,
also their attorney, John j. Greeley
After long interview they said they
would admit that the figures were
there at the time of the raid. but denied
knowing anything about how they had
become obliterated.

ORDERS NOT oBEYED.

In speaking of the matter the Dis
trict Attorney said: Il don't care for
their admission. as have seven wit
tsses to prove that the squares and
figures were there wher the raid was
made. What angcrs me is that my
orders have not been obeyed by the
police and valuable evidence has been
tampered with The irregular marks
on the covers prove conclusively that
the squares and figures were Intention
ally obliteratcd, and it is my purpose
to find out by whom. We knew that
when the raid was made an attempt
would be made to obliterate the chalk
marks. and when we got admission the
men were, as we expected, playing bill
lizards. But when fine chalk mark IS
rubbed out the lines are left, and there
was no difficulty in discerning the
squares and figures"
The cases will be called in the police
courts tomorrow for argument on the
demurrers fled on Friday by the defen-
dants' attorney, when something may

GAS USED UNDER LIME k,LNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
10 Success.

The New England Lime company.
OF Winstead. Conn. asserts that IL Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method Is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow.
ing scarcity of wood fuel led TO the
discovery OF gas as a substitute for
wood. and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability Of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt, Had 1t been impossible to ind
substitute for wood. said member
OF the company. 1t would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
limo produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro.
duces a more intense heat, and conse-
quently increases the capacity OF the
kilns. The daily output at the com.
pany's kilns is increased from so bar
rels per kiln to 100 barrels. or total
of 700 barrels daily,
