Old Timers Gan1bled Underground
LOST RESORT is FOUND

A rare glimpse into the past, when
Atlanta was a frontier town in spirit,
with gambling as one of its principal
institutions. was revealed today when
D. w Marlborough began remodeling
the old brick house at 10 Porters alley
for his plumbing shop. Under the one
story brick structure was discovered
d secret gambling resort of four rooms.
An observation of the house led to no
suspicion of its underground apart
ment and an outside trap door, the only
entrance. gave no indication of the ex-
istence of what was once the most
famous and exclusive gambling resort
in the South.
The architecture of the house is per-
feet for its purpose. The house was for
years the only one on the alley. The
small trap door leads to very small
alley is so small that it is difficult for
one man TO enter at a time A narrow
hall connects three moderate sized
rooms, with low ceilings. Then another
small tray door leads to a very small
room It was the poker room and the
scene. of the loss of several of Atlanta S
early fortunes. The walls between
these rooms are about four feet thick,
Not a sound can be carried through
them. There are no windows, but an
ingenious system of ventilation from
above through pipes. TO have raided
that house in the old days would have
been like storming a castle.
But there is no record of any effort

DlSCOURAGING POLITICAL NEWS
: DISTURBS MARKET AND CUTS
DOWN PRICES.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The market
opened weak, chiefly upon the dis
couraging news from Massachusetts
and the detailes of the Steel report,
which Wall Street has now had time
to digest. While 1t is expected by
fnanciers that Taft may pull through
in Massachusetts the result has all the
effect of a Roosevelt victory, in that ne
fought against great odds. and almost
won, II II does not turn out that he
will have a majority of the delegates.
This is distinct disappointment to the
money interests, and that sentiment
was reflected at the opening of the
market ana in the early trading, which
for the most part was at a decline of
one point or more.
Such stocks as Union Pacific opened
a point down, sold off nearly a point
more, and later rallied with gains of a
portion of the loss. Reading, one Of
the strongest of the list, opened three
eighths of a point higher. but quickly
declined ~ points under the general
feeling of gloom pervading the Ex-
change
The ptonts shown in the steel report
were also a disturbing factor, mitigated
only by the better showing for the
nnonths of March and April. which are
interpreted to mean that the company

is expecting better things in the i'm
mediate future. Steel opened at fOh'
nearly = points below yesterdays close.
Later II rallied about l point, but de-
clined again to the opening 1gures'
At noon Steel was weak and inactiye.
Smelters made a better showing under
the impetus of a formal declaration
of the quarterly dividend, opening at
S59s and selling up to S7s, and then de-
clining to S5h.
The same irregularity in specialties
and general weakness of the market
marked the morning trading, and the
situation at midday was not very as
suring except that In moderate vol
ume Of operations the prices did not
show great losses. On the whole, the
market was we'll supported. and prices
firm at the lower level.
The market improved both In activity
and strengthening of prices in the frst
hour of the afternoon. The morning
decline was met philosophical and the
bull side set out to repair the breach In
their defenses quietly and effectively.
The advance was slow, but prices re-
sponded well to the taking over of the
offerings thrown upon the market.
In the late trading prices gradually
advanced to the level Of the opening. a
few stocks, notably. Union Pacific, made
larger gains, but many OF the list were
slightly below the opening. At the close
prices were firm and the market strong.

In Patent Measure

Attorney Marion Dorian. counsel for

fore the House Committee on Patents
today to protest against proposed
changes in the patent laws. which ara
contained in the Oldfeld patent reform
bill. Mr.. Dorian objected to the COM
pulsory license provision of the bin,
claiming that 1t was too radical.
He admitted there were certain abuses
under the patent laws in cases where
manufacturers failed to manufacture
patented articles, and thereby deprived
the public Of the benefit OF them, but
he contended that the proposed reforms
should be less radical.
