Bets Are Made on the Total
Number of Runs, In Blind

Declaring that the popular little
baseball pool, as conducted in few
downtown hotels and bar rooms, is a
brace game" that would make
crooked laro layout turn green with
envy at the small percentage that the
victim gets, Detectives Horrigan and
Dibble recommended to Capt. Palmer,
Wednesday morning, that the pools
be closed up by the police. Capt fdl-
mer Immediately gave ihe detectives
orders to put the lid on any games
of the sort that they found, and to
lock up the managers, If they refused
to quit.
The baseball pool is a clever in
geRtien-whieh would do credit to an
old-time gambler on the Mississippi
steamboats, The person who plays
the game pays % cents for the privil-
ege of betting on a combination or
baseball teams, and their probable
scores. The number of combinations
that can be made out of five compet-
ing teams, on the win and lose end,
and with various estimates OF the firal
score, is practically infinite. And the
man who plays the pool has no
choice as to the winners he picks or
the scores he bets on. He pays 70
cents for blind" envelope, made out
by the house" Out Of the % cents
that he pays, 90 per cent is taken by
the house"
Detectives Horrigan and Dibble re-
ported that they investigated poor
operated in the Hotel Berghoff, and
managed by a man named Bird, who'
they declared, explained that five
cents out OF every 25 cents went TO
the game for operating expense.
Chief OF Detectives Palmer told the
detectives to serve notice to putt, on
Mr. Bird.
Tell Mr.. Bird that if lie continues
to run that game, We will put him IN
cage" said CapD Palmer.

Attorney Hunt Still iii, and
Judge Phelan Orders Case to
Proceed Without Him

No names Of citizens in the Eigh-

of 600 drawn for 1913 jury. This was
shown Wednesday morning III the
trial of Tom Gilman, alderman ac-
cused of grating, when Thomas May,
secretary of the jury commission, was
put on the stand in Glinnan's trial.
The Gilman defense asserted in
their challenge to the jury array that
no names had been drawn from the
Eighteenth, which is Glinnan's own
ward and they expect to draw the
inference that this shows prejudice
on the part Of the jury commission
Against Gilman.
Although Ormond f. Hunt was still
too sick to appear in court Wednes-
day morning, James Mcnamara took
up the examination of Tom May, jury
commissioner, where it had been

Old Structure Has Been Out

New Departments
EVERY AVAILABLE FOOT
OCCUPIED AT PRESENT
City Must Rent Offices for Civil
Service and Municipal Own
ership Bodies

With the creation OF new commits
sions and the constant enlarging of
city departments TO keep pace with
the rapid growth Of Detroit, the pres
ent city hall will soon have to be
remodeled. AT the council meeting
Tuesday night Aid. Harry Dingeman
introduced resolution. which was re-
ferred to the building committee, that
the crowded conditions in the city's
Office building be relieved by the ad-
dition OF two more stories or by the
construction of a new building.
No room can be found in the city
hall to accommodate the civil service
and municipal railway commissions.
Every available square foot OF Office
room in the building is occupied and
all the departments complain of being
crowded for room. The possibility OF
more new bureaus and municipal de-
partments being created by the char
ter commission. makes it imperative
that the aldermen set themselves
about the task of providing adequate
accommodations under a city hall
roof.
The common council has voted to
ictt louT OHlCtS OH lHp SeConu UOOr

Fort-st, at $40 month. for the civil

commission may also be given tenn

commission.

sity OF all that expense for Offices

Wilson My opinion Is that any old
offices will do for the present. and If
the work OF the commission proves to
be such that larger and better Offices
are necessary. then II will be time TO

More than 100 guests fed in their

Hotel Devenshire, at Long Port,
when the structure was destroyed by
fire But few of the guests had time
to collect any OF their belongings.
The loss TO the hotel is estimated at
$50. 900. and the guests probably suf-
iered almost as great loss.
The fire was brought under control

WASHINGTON. July l6.-Of prime
interest 10 diplomatists here today
was the situation in Mexico and the
knowledge that the Democratic ad-
ministration would shortly be forced
TO a test of the Monroe Doctrine.
The administration had hoped TO
stave of any action with regard TO
Mexico until after the October cleo
tions, when a new regime would be
established in the republic which
could be recognized by the United
States. The general opinion here to-
day was that this hope was destroy
cd, with the informal representations
which have been lodged by Great
Britain The London foreign Office,
II was understood practically served
notice on the state department that
under the Monroe Doctrine il held
the United States to be the guaran-
or of peace in Mexico. Other Euro
pean powers are expected shortly to
follow suit. Their ambassadors i'll
Mexico City have recommended such
action.
FTtfe" Situation as explained by diplo-
mats today is. therefore,, that the
United States has been appealed TO
under A doctrine which II must sup
port AT all hazards. America is prac-
tically the only civilized nation that
has withheld recognition OF the
liuerta regime in Mexico President
Taft passed the problem along TO his
successor, and Wilson, desiring time
for study OF the situation, delayed ac-
ton It was believed now that If this
recognition should be given, the Mex
ican government would construe il as
a backing down" by this government,
and be more arrogant than ever in
its treatment OF American citizens in
the republic.
The fact that the Mexican admin
stration officially has no standing in
its relations with the United States
has made it almost impossible for the
United States properly TO emphasize
its demand for protection OF Amer
leans in the republic.
Under diplomatic usage the only
sort OF protest Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson can lodge with Huerta
is a personal protest" Also Wilson
is prevented from acting in concert
Wit hthe representatives OF other pow
ers in Mexico City who have accord

Meanwhile consular reports 10 the
state department show the growth of
an anti-American sentiment through
out the republic. The federals are
lesentful on the ground that the Uni
ted States is Withholding recognition
