WAR ON GAMBLING
TAKES new turn
Chief Martin Will Investigate
Faulty Complaints Which
Led to DismisSaIs
Police Judges Find Evidence
Insufficient to Convict in
Many Cases

Chief Of Police Martin has decided TO
make an investigation into the causes
that led to the dismissal of John West
fall. charged with keeping a gambling
place at Third and Howard streets, and
"a men, charged with being visitors al
the place, by Police Judge ShortaH on
Monday. The arrests were made last
Friday by order of Captain Shea, and
when the cases came up for trial on
Monday the testimony showed that the
men were playing stud poker, but the
doors were wide open. In the COM
plant it was alleged that they were
playing behind barricaded and closed
doors.
The chief wants to find out whether
the bond and warrant clerks office or
the arresting officers We're to blame for
the error in the complaint which led to
the dismissal of the cases.
The cases of Timothy Hurley, charged
with keeping a poolroom at 339 Bush
street, and six men charged with being
visitors at the place, were dismissed by
Police Judge Deasy yesterday on the
ground that there was absolutely no
evidence to sustain the charge. Hurley
alleged that the place was merely a
bureau of information regarding the
races. The same disposition was made
by Judge CONAN OF the cases OF JONI
Celia, keeper at 1913 Taylor street, and
10 visitors, and Joseph Friedman
keeper, at 81 Ellis street, and three Wis
itors, and by Judge Shortall of the
cases Of Samuel Brown, keeper. at 1917
Stockton street, and four visitors.
Yesterday afternoon Policemen Orr
and Hayden arrested Frank Smith, 1922
Kearny street, on q charge of keeping
a poolroom.
Sergeant Henry ODay, at the head
Of a squad Of plain clothes men, last
night raided a house of i'll repute at
1925 Stockton street. Four arrests were
made. Three were women inmates and
the fourth was a man thought to be a
drug fiend. The house is situated out
side of the prescribed district embraced
by the tenderloin.
Captain Harry O'Day yesterday
afternoon issued instructions for a
blockade to be placed on four in
corporated clubs. which he says are
nothing but gambling places. They
are the Saratoga, 157 Mason street;
Goethe Schiller. 35 Ellis street; Parente

Policemen Josephs and Holmes ar

GIVESAWAY THE SECRET

Berger, you say that your ready to-
wear suits are as well tailored as those
that cost so per cent more at the mer-
chant tailors'. Now, do you really mean
that?"
That was the pertinent question fired
at Nat Berger by one of those who had
been watching the living clothes pic
lures in the windows of Bergers new
store in Market street, east of Powell.
1T most certainly is true" said
Berger, literally and exactly true.
Just look at this garment" said he
taking one of the dandy new brown
coats off a holder. See the way this
coat Is made; how splendidly it is
shaped. Note the professional finish to
every detail; look at these pockets; see
the careful workmanship on the button
holes; see the way the sleeves hang
want TO emphasize the fact that our
clothes are ready to wear and should
not be confused with mere ready made
clothing. The secret is that these suits
of ours are made by journeymen tailors,
experts, the highest class of skilled
artist workmen, accustomed to making
clothes from the finest materials and
taught to be eXacting in every little
thing. / venture the assertion that
there is not single suit made to order
which is any more carefully built than
one of our suits at s18 or $50.
That explains why we are able to fit
of stock. Ninety-nine per cent of our
suits could be worn out by the pur-
chaser after a little pressing to take
out the stock wrinkling.
"As a proof of that see this young
man in our display window He is
trying on coats chosen at random from
stock
Gould any one ask better fit than
that? You say he is easy to fit Not a
bit easier for us to fit him than to do
the same for you, and when it comes
to the fat and slim fellows who have
such a hard time of it, even at the best
merchant tailors', we are simply SUI
preme We have service here that is
distinctly different from what any other
store in town has to offer. and we feel
periority Of what we offer you"

Postal SAVINGS Bill.

The passage in the senate by a vote
of so to 22 of the bill to establish
a system of postal savings banks
would seem to point to the probability
that the measure as finally agreed
upon in the senate will pass the
house. Every Republican senator pres
ent voted for the measure. but this
result was not brought about until
the Smoot amendment had been so
reshaped as to modify the methods
under which it was proposed that pos
tai savings funds should be handled.
The opposition to the Smoot amend.
ment in its original form, which would
have permitted the investment of saw
ings funds in two per cent govern
ment bonds. was based on the theory
that the government would take money
from local centers to maintain thes1
bonds at par Another opposition
argument was that the funds under
the Smoot amendment could be used
to establish a centralized bank.
AS re bill finally passed the senate
1t provides that the moneys collected
through the postal savings system are
to be deposited with local banks at a
rate of not less than 2M per cent in
terest, and are to remain with such
institutions unless withdrawn by the
president in case of war or other
eXigency, and if so withdrawn must
be invested In government securities
which shall not draw less than pa
per cent interest. The fixing of the
government security interest rate at
2A per cent. was in accord with an
amendment to the Smoot amendment.
offered by. Senator Borah, the purpose
OF which was the exclusion Of the eX.
isting two per cent issues from the

The Smoot amendment in the mod.
fed form in which it was finally ac.
cepted would seem to give sufficient
assurance that moneys will not be re-
moved from localities in which they
are collected except upon emergency
demand. Indeed, the measure as II
went through the senate makes the
government postal system collective
agency for the banks, though the gov.
ernment eXacts one-quarter of one
per cent to defray the collection ex.

States and Foreign" Corporations.

In the case of the Pullman Com
pany, as in that of the Western Union,
the federal supreme court has taken
view which very materially affects the
rights of all important corporations.
The significance of the two decisions
lies in their bearing on the general
principle, often upheld by the same
court, that a state has the power to
prohibit any corporation created by
another state from entering it for the
purpose of doing business locally"
and consequently that. if it chooses.
as mere matter of comfy, to grant
corporation license, right of entry,
it may annex any kind or number of
conditions to that grant, the only re-
striCtions heretofore recognized being
that no corporation can be asked to
give up constitutional rights.
This principle has seemed extreme
to many able lawyers. and the court
must have felt that some modification
of it was necessary. To hold that
while states cannot hamper interstate
commerce they may mulct or penaliZe
corporations chartered by sister states
that apply for permission to enter
them for the purpose of doing local
business. is to assume a position
bristling with practical difficulties and
theoretical incongruities.
The court now holds that Kansas
cannot exclude the Western Union and
the Pullman Company from its terri
tory, even as far as the doing of pure
ly local business is concerned, because
they have declined to pay statutory
fee equal to a certain percentage of
all their authorized capital. Such
single fee amounts to a tax on the en-
tire business of the companies, the in
terstate as well as the local, and on
all their property, wherever situated;
and, of course. such general tax
practically amounts to an interference
with interstate commerce. no matter
what disguise it wears.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods:

Professor Fisher found in his ex-

For Postal Savings Banks.

If the postal savings bank question
were submitted to the people it would
be discovered that all sections of the
country were strongly in favor of such
provision for the safe depositing of
money in places which have no bank
ing facilities of the kind suitable for
small savings. 1t is not probable that
any state in the union would vote
against the establishment of an insti-
tuition which has found favor anG
proved its usefulness in many coun-
tries of Europe, in Canada and in Aus
tralia.
If there is any reason for opposing
such facilities for thrift and such alb
solute security for small deposits,
which can be made convincing to
more than a rather small minority of
the American people, it has not yet
been disclosed.
