Another Turn TO the MiNup Between justices
Gayner and Dickey IN the Question.
Justice Gsynor in the Appellate Division
Of the Supreme Court. Brooklyn yesterday
reserved decision a. to the legality of disk
games at Con.y Island. in which matter
a temporary injunction was issued by
Justice Scudder restraining the police from
interfering with the game as run by Alfred
Iangfeldt.
At the expiration of the temporary in
junction counsel for the petitioner applied
10 Justice Dickey for a continuance. This
was denied. Then Langfeidt's counsel car
red the matter before Justice Gsynor and
the latter vacated the clause in Justice
Dickey's order releasing the police. The
order Of vacation was returnabe yester-
day. But before the order was returned
Justice Dckey, on application Of Corpora
ton Counsel Lazinsky, vacated the order
vacating his order This again united the
hands of the police Whether or not they
remain united depends on the promised
decision of the Appellate Division to-
4 morrow.
In commenting on the merits of the case
Justice Gaynor said
Millions of people in this country think
that 10 make bet In unlawful. IL two
ladies' bet "A pair of gloves IL is believed
10 be against the law. Go through the
Penal Code from stem to stern and there
Is nothing to show that IL you and make

Is whether there is a doubt as to this being
a gambling game. II il is doubtful. then
the man who has appealed should not be
destroyed until the question is finally
lecided.'
II is on the distinction between betting
and gambling that Justices Gaynor and
Dickey split Justice Dickey declared en-
pharically in refusing to continue the in
junction that the game ~ conducted at
Coney Island and other seaside summer
resorts is gambling pure AMI simple. jus
lice Gaynor thinks there is much room for
doubt.
Counsel Cameron for Langfeldt said
nat he had PLAYED the game and that
skilful person with the disks could ring
the pegs. Mr.. Lazinsky said that IL was
not so much a question of skill or no skill
AZ IL was the incentive to place side bets.
II was in answer TO this that Justice Gaynor
gave his opinion about betting.
After the close Of the hearing Mr.. Lazinsky

tion In Bankruptcy.

A petition in bankruptcy was filed yester-
day against the Smith and Kerrissey Com
pany, which conducts the Cafe des Am
bassadeurs at l0s to 40 West Thirty-eighth
street. The petitioners are the Van Mass
dyk-Kahn Company. sitS for souvenirs;
the Standard Audit Company, $780, and
b. Loewenfels, 81 for linens. They declare
that the restaurant company has admitted
in writing its inability to pay it's debts.
The restaurant company was Incorporated
in 1905 with a capital OF $3.50 and sue
ceeded the Arm of Smith h Kerrissey. These
two have been in the restaurant business
here and in Boston since 1908. NJ. w. B.
Kerrissey was president and W. Y. Smith
treasurer. Both were interested in the
Arena Company, which ran the restaurant
at 80 to al West Thirty-first street that

RIGHTING w. CENTRiL Trains.
Left Hand system Abandoned and Change
Occasions Niuri, Delay and Consustcn.

The change from the old left hand sys-
TEN to that Of the right hand system in
sending trains in and out Of the Grand
Central station caused lot Of confusion
and delay yesterday morning when the
change in operation went into effect. Trains
were delayed all day. Passengers. espe-
cially the commuters. funed and fused
and altogether there was a grumbling
time Of IL.
What's more, the railroad officials say
that it will be several days before every
thing gets 20 running smoothly.
The system Of running trains 80 that they
passed to the left was begun in 1887. This
was caused by the fact that the New York
Central could acquire space for baggage
and mail platforms only on the west side
OF the station. Then the shunting of Of
New York. New Haven and Hartford trains
10 the eastward had something to do with
the continuance Of this reverse plan Of op-
GRAFTON.
In the general plan Of reconstructing
the station the railroad people decided to
make operation Of trains In keeping with
that followed by other roads. Changing
all this around was no easy matter. New
signals had to be erected and train hands
were coached in the new manner Of things
The first real big tieup came at s:45
o'clock yesterday morning. This was al
Fifty-sixth street, at the entrance to the
tunnel. A signal board got out of kilter.
The engineer Of an out going train was
heading for the tunnel at a snails pace
orders FOR yesterday were TO go very slow
when the signal post flashed danger"
Something had gone wrong with the insula-
tion. The engineer stopped his train.
Soon two more trains we're stalled behind
him. and they all got in the way Of trains
trying to get out of the tunnel and into
the depot. This block lasted thirty-four
minutes before things began to show any
signs OF getting untangled and resulted
in things getting behind for the greater
remaining part Of tho day.
Matters were running smoothly but
tardily when the evening rush set in. Rail
road employees were stationed at all points
where there are signals.
For some weeks all of the train crews
have been attending stereoptioon lectures
to see just how the new signals worked.
but stereoptioon views are not the real
thing. What the men need. 40 the railroad
officials say, is few days experience with
the actual signal posts along the actual
railroad lines.
