DRAWS
NICE DISTINCTION
Working in Gambling House
Does Not Make Man a Gamb-
Ter, Says Detective.

An emphatic distinction between d
gambler and man who works in gam
bling house for wages was made by De-
tective Hugh L. Glenn in the criminal
division OF the city court yesterday
afternoon. Detective Glenn was being
cross-questioned by the attorney for the
defense in the case Of Jess LowTan. on
trial on a charge Of gambling. Lowman,
together With four others, was arrested
In the Belmont hotel, February g. when
they were alleged to have been caught
playing cards for cigars and drinks.
Haven't you been gambler" was
asked Of Detective Glenn.
Never answered the detective.
We're you ever in a gambling house?"
"Yes."
''In what capac city?"
"As an employee; the last time about
five years ago. in Goldfeld, New. ] was
faro dealer and d roulette wheel oper-
ator."
''Yet you say you were not gam
bier"
Certainly not; no more than a team
ster OF any other man employed TO do
a certain piece of work would be gam
bier"
Where dc do you get your definition OF
a gambler?''
From Webster's dictionary"
That Is all, your honor" said the
counsel for the defense.
Lowman was found guilty and fined
50, but secured a stay OF sentence.

can government looking to settlement.
Such action they regarded as futile,
There Is no good reason to believe that

The outlook for the government was
considered by unbiased observers tonight
as by no means bright. Madero IS great-
ly worried because the federals had mad @
little or no headway in their efforts to
smother the rebellion. The palace had

MAJORITY PARTY
SPLIT IN HOUSE
Democrats in the House Find 1t
Very Difficult to Prac-
tice Economy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S,-The general
problem Of Democratic appropriations was
taken up tonight In a conference OF DEM
ocratic advocates or economy. who met
20 discuss the possibilities for cutting
down the expenditures OF the government
as outlined In the various approprla ton
bills. The action OF the house naval al
fairs committee today, when the Demo
Gratis after an all-day conference failed
to reach an agreement TO cut down the
SAG, 000 900 TO he carried by the naval
appropriation bill, was the principal sub
ject of discussion by the sixty members
of the house who are determined upon
economy.
The party leaders are greatly dis
turbed by the split in the house on the
question OF appropriations. The appro-
priation bills, according to Representative
Fitzgerald OF New York, chairman of the
appropriations committee. Will place the
country's expenditures at a point higher
than has yet been reached and economy
advocates declare that the appropriations
Of this congress will be at least 800, 000,-
600 over the billion mark.
The Democra Is who are opposed TO the
two battlesh!p programme declare that
unless the amount carried by the naval
bill IS materially reduced, they Will
prosecute a flibuster which will prevent
passage of the bill at this session
