GAMBLING HOUSE INVESTIGATION
Police Officials Said to Be Implicated
In the Sport.

New York, November 2S.-The investi-
cation of gambling houses in this city,
which has been in progress for some tine,
was given added interest today when
The Allen, one of the most widely
known poolroom operators in this city,
Albert III. Fake, his confidential agent,
and two employees went to the district
attorneys office, presumably in response
to subpoenas, although it Is said Allen
went there voluntarily. All four of the
men were represented by counsel. They
were Immediately ushered into the Office
of Assistant District Attorney Murrhy,
who has had charge of the gambling IN
vestigation.
This procedure was the result or the
search of The Aliens house in Eighth
street yesterday. and the seizure of cor
respondence, which 1t is said, duplicates
various police officials of varying de-
gree in the taking of graft for the pro-
lection of Aliens poolroom in Sixth ave-
nue..
The" Allen and his employees remained
in the district attorneys office more than
an hour.

WALKERS TRIAL
COMES TO AN END
JUDGE FEAGlN HAS THE MATTER
UNDER ONSIDERATlON-CO
FLICTING TESTIMONY HEARD.
MANY SPECTATORS.

After the greater part of the day had
case OF the Rev. T. W. Walker, the ne
gro preacher, In charge of the Shiloh
Baptist church, charged with refusing to
pay car fare, disorderly conduct and re-
slsting arrest was concluded In the po-
lice court yesterday. The three cases are
being heard together. After adjourning
court, Judge Feagin took the matter I'M
der consideration, and his decision will
be made within the next few days.
1t will be remembered that Walker was
arrested several days ago by Officer Pat
ton of Bessemer on complaint of Conduc-
tor Goodgame, who alleged that Walker
refused to pay car fare. 1t was also
charged that his conduct was disorderly
Later the prisoner was turned over to
Officer Smith in Birmingham, and ii was
charged that he resisted arrest and en-
gagged in a scuffle with the officer in
which the policeman received a kick on
shin. Refuting these charges, Walker de-
clared that he did pay his face, that he
was not disorderly and that he was hui
inflated by the officer. Mayor Ward
wrote to the police commission about the
matter, suggesting an investigator into
the conduct of the policeman concerned
Walker is recognized leader of his
race, and the trial, for that reason
proved very interesting to the negroes.
When the case was called, the court
room wos almost filled with negroes. The
city attorney examined Officer Patton
Conductor Goodgame. Officers Smith and
Sledge, and Wardens Williamson and
Schoenfield. 1t was stated in the testi-
mony of these witnesses that Walker
was unruly and disordery, and that he
declared "all officers scoundrels, all
street car conductors thieves and the
courts machine to wiring money from
the poor negro, and that 1t was time for
the negro to act"
Many negroes testified in Walkers be-
half Cora Baker testified that she saw
Walker pay his fare. Conductor Good
game declared that Walker did not nav
his fare. The testimony was contradictory
throughout. DIR. Mason testified that bond
was refused by Officer Smith when Walk
err offered to make it, Officer Patton tes-
tilted that Walker was extremely insult
ing when arrested. Walker himself Went
on the stand late in the afternoon and
denied in toto the charges against him.
Attorney Vassar Allen is defending
Walker. while Attorney d. b. Anderson
Is assisting Assistant City Attorney J. O
Smith in the prosecution.

Cleveland. November 2S.-The Iron Trade
Review tomorrow will say:
Many pig iron buyers are showing dis
satisfaction with present conditions. both
as to prices and deliveries. The exceed
ingly retarded shipments, especially from
the south, are eXasperatlng, and he CT
fering of spot iron at high prices has not
tended to modify the feeling of purchasers

being delivered.
This feeling has found expression IT the
general tendency toward caution in plac-

second half of the year, and for south

in what seems to be tile beginning OF a
heavy import movement OF Scotch and

dollars below that of American iron.
Sellers of pig iron insist that they are

so poor as it has been recently.
The car shortage is being keeniy telt

weevil. The results are encouraging. In
all, IS species of birds have been found
to be more or less active enemies of the
insect. Included in this number is the
nighthawk, heretofore not known to eat
the weevl. The nighthawk proves to be
an active consumer of the insect. Its pro-
lection by law therefore, is earnestly
recommended. This is all the more nee
essary, since the bird is often shot for
food.
of all the birds that prey upon the
weevil, orioles are the most active and
persistent. For this reason the possible
introduction into the Gulf States of one
or more additional species Of these birds
is being considered. Only one of the
three species that visit the cotton pro-
ducing belt breeds extensively within IL +;
hence If one is introduced 1t should be
a species likely TO make its summer homo
within the area infested by the weevil
as all birds are particularly assiduous in
their search for insects during the time
they are feeding the young.

RUSH WARsHIPs TO CUBA
Denver and Marietta Protecting
American interests.
Seven Hundred Marines in West In
dian Waters Availabie-0rdcrs
Direct From Oyster Lay.

Washington. D. G. - President
>Roosevelt's policy of preparedness
for any emergency in Cuba. so fan as
the immediate operation OF wal YES
sells is concerned. was announced at
the State Department.
It includes the sending to Havana
of the protected cruiser Denver and
the ordering of the gunboat Marietta
to C~ienfuegos. The cruisSg : Dies
Moines will remain at Key West uR-
: til further orders.
In making public these facts Act
ing Secretary of State Bacon ald
that there was no disposition on the
part of this Government to make a
demonstration in Cuban waters, but
that the instruction had attained
such proportions it had become nee
essary to take steps for the nrotec-
ton of American interests in Cuba.
The department believes that for
the present the Denver will be suf1-
cient for all needs along the north
ern coast OF Cuba and the Marietta
for the southern coast.
The exchange of messages between
the State Department and Mr.. Sleep
er, Charge at Havana, and other
American representatives in Cuba,
which are supposed to have told of
conditions requiring that prompt ac-
ton be taken to safeguard AHeri-
cans and their property, will not be
discussed by officials of either the
State or Navy Departments.
1t is admitted, however, that all
these messages have been forwarded.
upon their receipt, to President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, who for
several weeks has personally direct
ed the policy of the United Sites
concerning the Cuban outbreak.
In spite of the sudden activity of
this Government it is declared that
there is no intention to take any
part in the conflict beyond that de-
manded by the critical situation in
which Americans have been placed
in the island. That the President
has considered the ultimate POSSIBLE
ity of intervention or at least the use
of force in safeguarding the inter-
eStS OF this Government there can
be no doubt.
This is shown by the fact that the
Navy Department has been called
upon for a statement of the number
of marines that might be available
in the event of trouble. There are
between 500 and 700 marines now
in the vicinity of the West Indies.
They are scattered through Santo
Domingo, Porto Rico and Culebra
Islands. and some are on the Isthmus
