LOSES $4,000 IN
OLD BUNCO CAME

NEW YORK. June 3.-Despite the
fact that the newspapers over the
country told In display type a few
months ago how a man was swindled
by being made stakeholder in race
track transaction in which some OF his
money was up, Frederic Lobster OF
Harrisburg, Pa, says that he was
swindled out of $4,000 in a like
transaction in the same city, Balti-
more.
Louster started a grocery business
in Harrisburg some years ago and
made money. Then he sold the bust
ness and started out as a real estate
operator. Early in April, he says, he
met In Harrisburg John Hartman OF
No. 215 West One Hundred and
Eighth-st.. this city. He says Hart
nan told him he knew men who were
interested in real estate In Jackson
vile. Fla. and that If Louster would
accompany him to Baltimore, money
could be made as big deal was on.
Louster went to Baltimore with
Hartman he claims. and was in
troduced to men said to be real estate
operators. These men, none OF whom
lived In Baltimore, were to secure the
options on land and sell 1t to Balti~
more men at a big advance.
The Harrisburg man and the cap
italists" in Baltimore discussed the
deal In all its phases and then the talk
drifted to horse racing. Louster says
he learned there was some sort OF
a match race on, but he paid little at
tention to II until they got to betting.
They insisted that he hold the
stakes, and about $4,000 in money
and checks was turned over to him.
Then IL was suggested that he give
some evidence he was good for that
amount. He returned TO Harrisburg
and got certified check for $4,000.
When he returned TO Baltimore he
was told the race had won and that
he was TO come on TO New York to
distribute the bets. He arrived here
April IS. in tow of Hartman, he says.
He was taken to a house in West
Fifty-second-st., where betting on the
races was going on. He claims that
he bet 500 on their tips" and won
and then was told there was to be a
killing" and he ought to get in on 1t.
He got his certified check cashed and
bet all OF the money. He did not win.
j men, acting OH ADVICE OF the CTOWu,
he says, he got $4,000 and bet, and
this went the way of the $4,000. Then
he returned to Harrisburg a sadder
and poorer, but wiser man. ...
He consulted the chief of police OF
Harrisburg and Inspector Russell was
communicated with. Lobster came to
New York and was telling his story
to Inspector Russell when Detectives
Fogarty. Campbell and Dale came in.
They told him they had heard all that
sort of thing before and, to prove it,
finished his story for him.
Then they took him to the Tender
DIN and he saw Hartman and several
others who he said had swindled him
standing at the corner of Forty-sev-
enth-st. and Seventh-ave. The detec-
tives sent him to reconnoitre, but he
tried to arrest them instead. AS a
result all got away except Hartman.
When taken to headquarters, Hart
nan said he had never seen Louster
before. At the address Hartman gave

lived there.

Chief OF Police Kohler on charges OF
immortality and drunkenness brought
a sensation yesterday afternoon, when
one of the prosecutions most inn

tradicted the evidence which, Il had
been asserted. he would give.
The witness was q detective, who,
it had been said by the prosecuting
attorneys, would testify that he had
been sent out by Chief Kohler to

the detective swore that MIR. Kohler
had never instructed him or even in

done. He admitted that the chief had
remarked that the "boy needs good
licking" but that he had not paid any
attention to the remark
The prosecution also received q
setback in respect to another import

clared that the chief had instructed

THE UNcoMPLAINING.

In one Of the brief news stories the
other day there occurred a line which
has come to be so common that 1t be-
gins to take on new significance. A
man who had been found dead in his
room, where he had died alone, was
said to have retired in the best of
spirits"
How often, before a collapse, has
one heard the words, He seemed in
the best OF spirits" And yet it cannot
always be true that those who are
about to fall beneath their load really
feel well.
Perhaps the man who, in times of
stress, seems "in the best Of spirits, "
is the only man who is worth while.
The sturdy bearing up to the very
end may be simply a proof Of a great
heroism, and not of a life untouched
with heavy crosses. Habit is power
full and one who can maintain an I'M
ruffied calm, and frame a mild or
even gentle response when burdens
press-may easily go to the very gates
of death without losing his grip on
himself
Those who weep are seldom those
who are most hcpelessly grieved.
Those who whine are seldom the gem
timely sick or suffering. The man
who has never been sick a day in his
life will whlmper and turn pale with
fear when he has his first touch of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES one who is made
to bear more than his share of suffer-
ing win bs found at his work, faithful
to the last
1t might be well to change the at
titude toward those who are habirual-
ly serene and cheerful. They may not
be more fortunate than others-but
only nobler in the face of the worlds
hard knocks.

TURNED DOWN AGAIN.

Once more the people Of Fargo have
asked for pure water supply--and the
council ignored their demands. The
alleged representatives seem to think
the mud and the ooze is good enough
for their constituents.
Had the money been voted the new
administration would have been able
to have commenced work at once.
There will now be weeks and months
of delay and the improved water sup
ply is still as indefinite a proposition
as 1t was years ago.
II any of the aldermen who opposed
vote on the bond issue can frame
up any halos for themselves from their
position-they must have a vivid i'm
agination.
