FORT OF rs FOUND.
SECRET REFUGE IN BOSTON RE.
CALLS REVOLUTION.
Wonderful Network of Concealed
Rooms and Trap Floors Disclosed
Accidentally in a Raid Made
on a Gamblers Den.

Boston.--A wonderful network Of
trap floors, sufficient to serve as
hiding place for u, score of men, and
probably secret meeting places during
the revolutionary war for the colon
lists, have been unearthed by Chief 4.
o. Urquhart OF the Arlington police as
the result OF a raid on the famotrs old
/ Cooper Tavern, on Massachusetts ave-
nue, Arlington.
The raid followed the issuance of Il
warrant for a search for liquor, but so
astounding were the discoveries that
Chief Urqnhart will continue his
search until he has laid bare all the
secrets of the famous old hostery.
The discoveries so far show that the
old house Is literally honeycombed
with secret rooms and passages, in
one OF which was found full gam
bling layout. Early in the raid pa
troll wagon full OF liquor was taken
from tho place and liquor of every
kind from champagne to beer was To-
Gated. The place was being conducted
by LOiiis and Ida Brown and run with.
out an innholder's license.
Cooper's Tavern was built prior to
the revolutionary war and was i'm
mortallzed by the martyred deaths of
Jabez and Jason Winship, who made
their last stand behind its stone win
dows hemmed in by the British le-
glons in April, 1775. Others in the
building at the time disappeared, and
1t has always been thought they es-
capped by secret recesses.
II fell to the lot of gamblers. the
police say. to discover the hidden
hannts, and their knowledge was
guarded well. The police at the raid
discovered that the foundation wall
seemed too short for the actual sup
port OF the walls of the building, and.
digging down, laid bare complete
room-small but compact. Inspired
by their discovery, the police contin-
ned In their search, and will not rest
until the entire inside of the building
is torn away.

SIMPLE oReeNsAck SALAD.
Buying 100000 Apartment House
Small Matter to Hotel Chef.

Catering to tho gastronomic fancies
OF view. York city Is certainly a
profitable employment, if the records
of the real estate exchange are to
ne believed, says the New York Her.
AID. According to them, G,istave
''ecker. chef of the Holland house,
purchased recently from the Ger.
mania Life Insurance company two
elevator apartment houses at 3OG and
JOS West Ninety.fourth street. Mr..
i'ecker paid 100000 for the prop,
erty.
When asked to talk about himself
ana tell how he accumulated so much
money while devsing dishes with
which to tickle the palates of patrons
OF the hotel. Mr.. Becker took refuge
behind a modest reserve which could
not be broken down.
1T Is such small matter. this
buying of a house or two" he said.
why should | speak of It? II is not
as If had never before bought prop
erty. Part of this hotel is mine, and
Then own the house. in which /
live.
SO many can make money, that it
is no great credit for cook to do
the same. Other chefs have accumu-
lated fortunes and there has not been
80 much talk about It. 1t is enough
that have been fortunate and can
purchase q bit of land, and houses
when ] see a bargain"
1t was learned that Mr.. Becker for
some time has had considerable in
terest In the hotel where he is en-
ployed. The chefs ability to find bar
gains in real estate is not unknown
to dealers, and it is said he knows
as much about profitable location as
he does about the last deectable
sauce piquant.
Mr.. Becker admitted with a show
OF nonchalance that he owns the fine
apartment house at 204 West Ninety
fourth street, where he has lived for
a long time. He seemed surprised
that IL should be considered unusual
for chef to own Il home in fine
residential district.

Pete arrived in the city from the

e. Gardner, of Fairbanks, who brought
the horse down for his owner, Ed.
Rocker, Of Cleary Creek. Pete was
one of the original discoverers of
Pedro creek, the find which made
Fairbanks and helped to found Beck

When the Pedro and Gilmore party
went into the Fairbanks country from
Circle City in the fall of 1901 Pete
was one OF the expedition, lioned as a
pack horse by Mr.. Becker. For this
consideration when the famous Pedro
creek was located claim was staked
for Becker, This was the foundation
of his fortunes. Later he acquired a
fraction between II and 12 on Cleary
creek, and to-day Mr.. Becker is worth
$150,000.
