GORGEOUS GAMBLING
DEN IS ABANDONED
Tigers Lair, Furnished at Cost OF
$35oo0o, to Be Changed Into
Fashionable Restaurant

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE famous
gambling house of Gottfried Walbaum
in West Thirty-third street, the most
gorgeously furnished palace of chance
in this country, is about to be thrown
open to the public as a restaurant.
Until District Attorney Jerome had
a memorable interview with Walbaum,
the house was the resort of many
millionaires and the games played
there were for enormous stakes.
The place was furnished after de-
signs supplied by Stanford White, who
was killed by Harry K. Thaw, at a
cost of more than $350,000 A magnifi-
cent carved bronze door, seven inches
thick, was brought from Italy at cost
of $4,000. to serve as the main portal.
The carving on the staircase cost $11,-
900. Canvas ceilings by famous artists
cost upward of $4,000. Hand carved
tables and chairs throughout the house
cost from $500 to $1,000 each. Every
room is hung with rich portieres and
tapestries. The man who has leased
the place will retain the building just
as it Is and will operate 1t as another
Of New York's many all night res
taurantS.

THREE REGIMENTS OF BLUE
FACE CRIMSON ARMY
As Soon as Artillery Attacked Enemy
Battle Royal Was In Progress.
Neither Side Gains Much
Advantage
[Ry Annotated Press. ]

MIDDLEBORO. Mass, Aug. IT,
General Tasker H. Bliss threw the
whole strength of his regular army of
invasion against the left wing of Gen
eral w. A. Pew's blue army of de-
fense in the war game shortly after
noon today, and a fierce battle began.
The fighting started on Eddyville
Green, about five miles northeast of
Mlddleboro. The artillery waS in adj
vance of both armies, and as soon as
the red army attackc the artillery duel
was in progress.
The movement was preceded by a
battle on Middleboro Green, when four
skeleton camps of the Eighth Massa-
chusetts infantry, composing the out
post of the left wing Of the blue army
of defense were attacked and driven
back by flying squadron of cavalry
made up of detcchments of the New
York National Guard, the Essex troop
of New Jersey and portion of the
Tenth u. S. cavalry, the colored regt-
ment.
The engagement lasted for an hour
and was finally called off by the UNI
pires, who decided the reds had driven
back the blues.
The war balloon Greylock, in which
officers of the blue army were to have
made an ascension, broke away from
its moorings in this city this
forenoon. The basket was not attached.
The high east wind carried the balloon
rapidly to the westward and within a
few minutes 1t was out of sight.

FINDS WRECK DUE TO
CRIMINAL NEGLI
Coroner's Jury Probes into Collision
of Passenger Train of D. & r. G.
with Light Engine

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug
1.-THE coroner's jury which investi-
gated the head-on collision on the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad al
Hustled, Colo, Saturday morning, wher
ten persons were killed and three score
injured, late today returned its verdict
The verdict finds that the wreck was
due to criminal negligence on the part
of the train crew composed of En-
gineers Lessig and Hollingsworth
Fireman Wright, Conductor Dalton and
Brakeman McIlhearn. The verdict also
declares that the evidence shows that
a defective system for issuing train or
ders was employed by the railroad al
the time of the wreck.
An order was sent to Denver to arrest
the members of the train crew.

times they objected, but had noth-
ing to do with that"
"And you didn't object to doing that
sort of work?" was asked him.
''Why, no." he answered, II thought
it was all right"
Joe Durand, first lieutenant of the
redlight chief, testified that he had
been employed from January 1 to Au-
gust 20, 1908, preparing dinner in a
house"
Tells of Restaurant
Attorney Appel remarked that 1t
must have been big dinner, to take
SO long to prepare.
This witness testified that he con-
Quoted a sort of restaurant for the
convenience of the women and the
profit of Oswald and himself, in one
of the big brick crib houses in the red
media street. Also, he had loaned
$4,000 to his chief in one of the latter's
periods of distress, half of which has
been repaid. He expects to get the
rest, he testified. He told of the
watchman, whom he knew only under
the name OF Frank, collecting the
rents, SIS per week for each room, and
turning them over to him, Durand,
when he would pay bills and take the
remaining cash to Oswald or Fetter in
saloon on the corner of Commercial
and Alameda streets or to the redlight
office at Second and Broadway
From this and other testimony 1T ap-
pears that the redlight chief had no
fear in trusting the agents he chose
and that if any of them had any
money he borrowed it.
Only one thing Durand appears to
have refused to do for Oswald. He
told of a meeting with the redlight
chief and others in an office and of e.
r. Earl coming with a stenographer.
Earl had questioned HIM, question and
answer being taken down. On the fol-
lowing day Durand had been asked by
Oswald to sign the statement.
He told me he would try to get
Earl to give me $1,000 if l would sign
it, but it did not please me, and I
wouldn't do it,"
Durand was undergoing cross exam
ination when court was adjourned
until this morning at 10 o'clock.
Nearly all of the forenoon session
yesterday was taken UP with the cross
examination, redirect, re-cross, and
then a little legal pingpong with Ser
geant Mcdowell in an effort to find
whether he knew anything at all ''of
his own knowledge" 1t was much
like trying to pick up globules of
quicksilver from a woolly carpet. Just
before noon the effort was abandoned
by both prosecution and defense.

PETALUMA, Cal, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
Louis Francis was burned SO severely
today in rescuing her three small chill

TRIAL OF LEADERS IN
SUGAR STRIKE AT END
Attorney for Prosecution Says He
Shall Involve Japanese Govern
ment In Conspiracy

HONOLULU, Aug. 1.-THE trial of
the leaders In the so-called sugar strike
conspiracy is nearing the end. William
A. Kinney made the opening argument
for the prosecution today, speaking for
six hours, while Joseph Lightfoot, at
torney for the Japanese defendants,
responded.
Kinney In the course of his argument
expressed the view that the strike of
the plantation workers probably would
prove beneficial to the territory, having
caused a movement that would end the
domination of Japanese labor in the
islands and give more encouragement
to the citizen class.
He declared the plans of the strike
leaders on trial involved the cQnfisca-
ton of the plantations, the japanese
hoping to get complete control. They
also expected to involve the Japanese
government, he asserted.
