HOUSE YIELDS To
BAT TLESHIP PLAN
Majority, in Caucus, Agrees to
Compromise on One New
DreadnOught.

WASHINGTON, Aug 15.-Housc
Democrats late yesterday agreed in
caucus to recede from their no bat
tIeship program" in this session and TO
permit the battloship champions tovote
for one such vessel The decision came
after a long fight in the house for no
battleships Unlike the four preceding
caucuses. there was an absence Of bit
terness and by a rising vote Of IS ito
II the resolution of recession was put
through.
It is expected the senate will agree
to the one-battleshlp plan, ending the
deadlock over the naval bill While
the solid support Of the majority will
not be given to the battleship program,
leaders are confident they will have far
more than the necessary strength when
aligned with the Republican friends
Of the navy"
. The resolution embodying the recess
sion states that no member is bound to
vote for one battleship should he not
desire to do so.
An effort will be made TO have the
warship to be authorized the largest
and most formidable fighting craft ever
laid down. The vessel. II its sponsors
win their fight. would be equal in fight
ing ability to any two battleships below
the dreadnought size and far superior
TO any Of the latter class now afoat.
A sharp fight is expected on this pro-
gram, however.

interested in and lose one Of his many
millions.
Then / could pay everybody retire
from the business, take my family
away somewhere and start all over
again.
That is about the dream Of the aver
age small gambling house keeper
The small gambling houses Of down
town. the kind was associated in, are
usually composed Of from four to six
partners. 1t is usually started by each
man putting up about $1,000
The partners work in the place and
draw an average Of so a day wages
Profits Usually Small.
The profits, If there is any, are usu-
ally divided on the first Of each month
In most OF the gambling houses on
the East Side about all that Is left at
the end OF the month IS the salary that
each partner has been drawing.
have often thought that one quar-
ter the energy devoted in any other
direction that is used by the average
small gambling house owner to keep
afioat would make him successful in
any other business
There are no fixed hours Of work.
Sometimes we put in twelve hours and
sometimes it is twenty four hours.
In my last venture, which was the
house conducted by Herman Rosen-
thai, Of which | was a partner we
started in one Monday night and We'd
nesday night found US all still at work,
with the exception of short intervals Of
relief for a bite to eat and a few hours
sleep in a chair propped against the
wall
That particular play paid us, when
the game quit almost $4,000 to the
good. But we have had other long ses-
sions and the end found us not only
having lost sleep, but with it our bank
roll"
And often "frenzied finance" methods
had to be brought into play to prevent
it getting out that our bank roll" had
been won out
Replenishng Bank Roll.
For instance, on several occasions
our bank roll" was getting thin. The
game would start Soon the players
were all winners. 1t was my duty to
make quick mental calculation of
about the amount Of checks out that we
would have to redeem with money.
on comparing the amount Of checks
and the amount of the cash on hand, if
| found We were getting near the dan
ger point Of a showdown, or of not be-
ing able to meet our obligations, 1t was
then up to me to call another member
of the firm and give him about six
blank checks to fill in. He would start
out to visit other gambling houses, or
obliging friends would cash these
checks.
OF course none of the others sus-
pected the game had suffered an I'M
usually hard drubbing at the hands of
the players, and our regular bank roll"
had been distressed, and being night
time, We couldn't get to the bank for
fresh funds.
The man running a game when these
emergencies come up will resort to
any kind of a chance to get money,
knowing, as he does, that while at
times the players get runs of luck. all
that is necessary is to keep them play
ing, and in the end the house must get
the money back. JACK ROSE.
