From The american Saloon" by VIII
Ir1Oin, in Golfers Weekly
Tom Anderson, the Hon" Tom An
derson, owns string of highly prosper
Gus saloons in New Orleans. His larg-
est and most profitable establishment is
the Arlington Annex" at Basin and
restricted district where hourishes that
wide-open prostitution peculiar to New
Orleans. Down one street from this
saloon runs a row of gaudy houses of
prostitution; down the other two blocks
of those little apartments known in the
South and West as Cribs" He who
visits the tenderloin in New Orleans
usually begins at the Arlington An
mex" Everything suggests this saloon
as the Town Hall in that city of shame,
but one activity of Tom Anderson's
place suggests it most of ALL For TWEEN

simply the Blue Book" which is di-

the right-hand pages; on the left-hand
pages are advertisements. The first

Consider also Tom Lee in New York.
| am referring now not to the famous
Chinese of that name, but to a mys-
terious white man calling himself Tom
Lee, who is understood to be the pro-
prietor of the saloons at Nos. and
% Bowery. These places are not held
in his name; two dummy names figure
on the records for both lease-holders
and license-holders. But the Bowery
and Tammany know these as Tom Lees
places and he assumes all the airs Of
proprietorship. His place at % Bowery
is one of the headquarters for the "yegg-
men" on their visits to New York.
These men-thieves of the road, crack
ers of country safes, mostly desperate
criminals-resort to his saloon to elbow"
the profits of their industry. SO from
the proceeds of burglary the Tom Lee,
saloons make their money.
The Hon. Timothy D. Sullivan, known
as big Tim," is the law above the
leader in Tammany Hall; and therefore
the law above the law in New York

Tom Lee helps to keep the district III
line for Tammany ;sne is able to furnish
"eorillas" to the number of 500 for the
straight ticket, obtaining them through
his and other neighboring hotels and
lodging houses. Does Tom Lee "g1ve

Photographic views. There appears to
be some connection closer than mere
name between the Arlington Annex"
and the Arlington" brothel For ex-
ample, when the brothel was burned out
year or two ago it moved into quar-
tiers over the saloon pending repairs.
Tom Anderson overtops the restricted
district; he is its law giver and its king
one of the names for it is Anderson
county" In his shadow flourish the I'M
blushing street-open shame of Ibervile
and Bienville and Cont and St. Louis
street; the saloons with their wide-open
poker and crap games the dives where
negroes buy for fifty cents five cents
worth of cocaine. He is, too, the pad be-
tween the poor, foolish, awkward law
which is written in the books and the
people who dwell under his kindlier law.
For example, when a woman of "Ander-
son county" commits robbery and when
the victim complains so loudly that she
has to be arrested, Tom Anderson comes
down and gets her out He does not
even have to give cash bail; a local
law provides that a minor criminal, at
the discretion of Inspector or Judge, may
be released on the parole of any respon-
sible prominent citizen
And the "Hon" Tom Anderson repre-

large and important district of New
Orleans-has represented it for two
terms-was nominated at the primaries
last month for third term, and will, by
every probability, be elected in April
He is a member of the ways and means
committee and the committee on the af-
fairs of the city of New Orleans-two
of the most important in the legislature
Mr.. Anderson belongs to the liberal
wing of the state legislature; he does
not believe in sumptuary laws; he thinks
that it degrades the citizen to take away
from him the privilege of choosing for
himself between right and wrong
Briefly, here is the reason for Tom
Anderson: With a little break here
and there, New Orleans has been in
the grip of ring. No large city in the
United States gets such poor returns
for the public money expended as New
Orleans. 1t is ill-paved, ill-policed, be-
hind in municipal improvements; the
public money is needed for thousand
and one sinecure jobs. By the same
token, no other city of the country runs

Anderson has been a great help. Highly

lutions, aimed at the different drinking
clubs in the college,:
''The growing practice on the part of
students Of meeting in halls attached to

places is for obvious reasons to be
condemned; students who organize or
participate in such meetings shall be-

Hammering Away at 1t.

"Keep hammering'' is a favorite
American motto, and its effectiveness
has been brought into evidence again.
Chicago school teachers have been
granted an increase of $50 annually.
This does not bring the sum up to
anything of munificent nature, but it
is in the right observation-disclosures

For years those who see that in no
way can the progress of the nation be
so certainly assured as by the i'm
provement of educational facilities,

and agai nto the taxpayers and to the
members of school boards represent

tory investment can be made by a

in teachers salaries which will make

NEW METHOD OF STARTING.
Plan of Handicapping by Distances
Mechanical and Automatic.

New York, June 1.-The new meth
cd Of handicapping by distances re-
quires change in the method of
starting. 1t would be absolutely i'm
possible for one starter to Judge
satisfactorily and accurately the posi-
ton Of the various starters along the
track For this reason a method has
been adopted which is so mechanical
and automatic that no mistakes are
likely to be charged UP against the
starters. The method is simple and
is illustrated in the above diagram.
Men are stationed along the track
at the various intervals from which
the horses are to start. In front of
each man is a push button connected
with the master bell. The master bell
is located conveniently near the
starters so that when it rings all can
hear. When horse is in his correct
position in front of the man who
manipulates the push button, the man
pushes the button, but the bell will
not ring until each of the various
men push the button in unison with
the others. AS soon as a horse IL out
of position the button is released and
1t is impossible for the others to ring
the bell until he is again in position
and button is pushed. When all
horses are in the correct position and
the minute the men at their various
posts have pushed the buttons then,
and not until then, does the master
bell ring and all horses make the
start.

Washington, June 4.-Senator Long

Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, and
Senator Hopkins (Ill.) l1as7 held sew
eral conferences with Secretary Taft
regarding the various points of the
platform proposed for the Chicago
convention was again at the war de-
partment today and saw the secretary.
Senator Long will leave tonight for
his home and expects to be in Chica-
go a week from today.
In the opinion of Senator Long, the
preparation of a platform at Chicago.
will not provoke much controversy.
He believes that the committee on
resolutions will not regard with disfa-
vor as being an attempt to control
their action in advance, the drafting
of a platform which will be presented
to them as the basis for the declara-
ton of the convention. On the con-
trary he thinks that the draft will be
very helpful and do much toward
minimizing the labors of the resolu-
ton committee.
