cLEVEREST SWINDLE SINCE THE
TIME "PETE" DELACEY AND
HIS CROWD WAS WORKED
HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Publishers Press1

New York, July 5.--The slickest
swindle that has been put through in
this city since Pete Delacey and
operators were swung for half
million dollars, through the holding
back of the returns of the coast races,
went through as though creased"
this afternoon, and as a result the big
pool room proprietors were beaten
out Of sum estimated at from $780,
900 to half a million. The game was
the other familiar wire tapping one,
only that this time the wires were
really tapped.
In the second race, at Windsor there
was 8 to 10 shot, Attention, who
seemed to so far outciass his field
that even at these short odds the big
New York plungers put down large
sums of money. When the result
was announced over the wires Beau
Brummel, against whose chances
eight to one had been freely laid, was
given as the winner and Attention in
the place position. When the room
keepers looked over their sheets they
discovered that the winner had been
been we'll played and that they had to
pay out large amounts to comparative
ly unknown players. There was no
suspicion that all was not right, how
ever, and the tickets were promptly
cashed and the betting begun on the
next race
When the result of the third race
criu fn
was sent in as the winner, but before
the result had been confirmed" and
paying off begun, a man who had had
good bet on Attention went into a
pool room on Barclay street and an
nounced that the newspaper wires
gave Attention as the winner of the
second race and showed Beau Brum-
mel as having finished second. The
word was sent along to all of the
rooms and all bets were held up. In
vestigation revealed the fact that At
tilla had not won the third race, but
that she had finished second to
Crowshade. The rooms then paid
the bets on Attention and started an
investigation which revealed the fact
that the wires had been tapped some
where outside of the city.
What amount was lost is hard to
say as owing to the nature of the pool
room business the proprietors are de-
sirous of keeping out of the limelight
and decline to talk. Those back of
the scheme, however, cashed in for
good amounts in all of the larger New
York pool rooms and also in Troy,
Albany and Schenectady, it is assert
ed, so that the wire tappers" must
have had good day Of it although
the discovery of the game before the
Attilla bets had been cashed, cost
them some of their winnings and saw
ed the poolroom people from heavy
additional losses.

Son of President of Nicarau-

Larceny in Washington.
HIS WIFE HAS LEFT HIM
FATHER OF ELAYA REFUSES TO
ADVANCE FUNDS AND HE HAS
WORN OUT HIS CREDIT WITH
FRIENDS. ..n
Palladium Special

Washington, July 5.-Driven almost
to the limits of desperation for want
of funds, Alfonzo Zelaya, son of the
president of Nicaragua. and his bride
of less than months who was for
merly an adopted daughter of DR.. Will
liam w. Baker, of North Capital
street, have become estranged for the
second time. Mrs. Zelaya asserts shat
she has left her husband for good
and all.
Added to this trouble another over
took Zelaya when a warrant was
sworn out today charging him with
petit larceny in removing some wear
ing apparel from their boarding house
which belonged to Policeman Sam
son.
What Might Have Been.
From a life of luxury and plenty in
the magnificent home of his father in
Managua to that Of Bohemian pian-
list In downtown saloon; from life
free from care and with all the pleas
ures and hopes of young woman. to
a room in boarding house, with hu-
initiation and unhnoDiness staring
her IN the face; from the possibility
of high social position In the Capt.
toll of Nicaragua, to- the stern realti-
ties of life in the capitol of the Unit
ed States-such is the present status
of the contracting parties to the in
ternational marriage, following the
sensational kidnapping of young Ze-
laya by agents of the Nicaraguan
government to prevent his marriage
to the popular Washington girl.
Trouble Over Finances.
Financial difficulties are said to be
entirely responsible for the present
state of affairs. HIS father, he says,
has positively refused to supply him
with funds, or to lend any financial
assistance.
Since their marriage, Mrs. Zelaya
has been the breadwinner of the fam
lily. She has small income with
which she has provided for herself
and her husband. He has given some
aid with small sums he managed to
borrow from friends. but not once
have any of the expected remittances
come from his father. and he has
been unable to obtain employment.

POLICE COURT BLANK

There might have been the slight
est shadow of disappointment on the
eountenance of Mayor Harmer, when
he opened his docket Thursday
morning to hold police court. One
naturally asks why he was disap-
pointed. 1t was because there was
not any one to try, and yet after all
he may have been pleased to know
that conditions were so good that
there was no one to round up during
the night. At any rate he did not
indulge himself in holding a session
of court, and it was simply because
there was no one present to have
justice and mercy meted out to him.
