sTIcK-UPs MAKE, RECORD HAUL
AT POKER CLUB
New York, April 2.-Five masked
and armed robbers who raided the
Merchants Club, "a private poker
place in West Seventeenth street,
here last night are credited today
with having made the biggest haul
of any stick-up party in New York for
many years. Five men were playing
in Beans" Rosenfeld's place, the
five men entered quietly, tied and
gagged the doortender, stood up the
gamblers along the wall and then, all
with guns prominently displayed,
robbed the keeper of the bank rolf
of $500 and $500 diamond ring.
1.-THE first man that puts his hands.
down." said the leader of the hold
ups, will get bullet through him"
The warning was sufficient and no
one moved Then every player was
searched and loot estimated at an
other $4,000 was secured. Still men
acing the frightened players the hold
up men backed into the hall of the
place and four vanished. The fifth,
two-gun man, halted long enough to
say, "the first man who sticks his
face out this door will get two bull
lets in it, and then he, too, fed.
No report of the robbery was made
to the police, but today Resented, it
is said, is securing the underworld in
an attempt to get back his patrons
jewelry at least: 1t is not believed
there will be any police action to
track down the robbers as no COM
plant can be made without revealing
the character of the place where the
stick-up occurred.

COUNCIL FROWNS ON GAMES Of
CHANCE; LAWS TO Be ENFORCED

He censured the police committee
for not seeing that the laws were en-
forced. Councilman Montgomery,
chairman of the police committee, de-
clared he was thoroughly in sympathy
with the move and announced that
his committee had notified the po-
lice forty times If once to see that
every law of the city was enforced.
If they are not enforcing these laws,
We will take the matter up with
them" he said significantly.
Someone suggested that an ordi-
nance be drawn up prohibiting such
games of chance as are now said to
be in operation. 1--WE have a law
now" put in Murphy, what we need
is someone to enforce it," Council
man Vaughan gave 1t as his opinion
that the police now had the power to
confiscate the paraphernalia of these
games of chance. "They can go righ,
In and carry the stuff off IL they
would" he said. You'll have to get
a new chief" put in Murphy again,
and it became very apparent that
there is strong opposition in the coun-
Gil to the administration of Chief
kearney. No action was taken. how
ever other than the police committee
promised to make an investigation OF
the alleged games of chance.
In the course of the discussion,
Councilman Ell manifested little
heat at the accusations and insinua-
tions of Councilman Murphy. "Let
me tell YOU" he said, glaring at the
north side alderman. "if you'd keep
the nickles away from the kids, they
wouldn't get in trouble with these
games of chance" Murphy didn't ay-
preciate this thrust and was about TO
relieve himself Of the retort personal
when Mayor Matlock relieved the sit
uation with a laugh. Maybe If you
had a boy or two OF your own" he
said to Ell. your advice would be
better"

President Is Authorized to Construct
Road from Alaska's Coast to the
Great Interior Coal Slines-Efforts
Of Opponents To Obstruct Measure
Are Futile.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The
Alaska railroad bill will be signed
next week if the present plans carry.
The bill as passed by the house dis
agreed in form with the senate bill
but democratic leaders declared it
probably will go into conference to-
morrow and all differences will be
adjusted. A sharp fight is anticipat-
ed in the conference over the house
amendment eliminating the bond is
sue provision inserted by the senate.
Other amendments are expected to
be agreed upon without difficulty
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.-The ad-
ministration Alaskan railroad bill, au-
thorizing the president to construct a
s35, 100000 railroad from Alaska S
coast to its great coal fields, was pass
ed by the house yesterday by vote
of 230 to 81
A similar measure already has
passed the senate and the bills will
be taken up at once In conference be-
tween the two houses, with a view to
sending the measure to the president
who signified his intention of signing
it,
At the eleventh hour. after a sharp
parliamentary skirmish. the house
eliminated from the bill as reported
by the territorities committee, a pro-
vision authorizing bond issue -oi
$4,000, 600 to finance the railroad and
TO be paid off by the proceeds of the
government land sales in Alaska. The
senate bill provided for a $4,000, ,00C
bond issue. Representative Fitzger.
aid of New York led a fight which re-
suited in striking out the bond pro-
vision.
Under the amended measure the
project would be financed out of the
current funds in the treasury the
| president being limited to S35,000.-
900 and s1.oOO.000 being appropriated
| for immediate expenses. Congress
would appropriate each year the am
cunt estimated to be necessary for the
construction of the road.
The bill provides for the construc-
tion of road mot to exceed 1000
miles, to be so located as to connect
one or more of the open Pacific ocean
harbors on the southern coast of Alas
ka and with a coal field or fields
yielding coal sufficient in quality and
quantity for naval use. so as to best
aid in the development of the agri-
cultural and mineral or other resour-
ces of Alaska"
An effort was made by the oppo-
nents of the bill to postpone the fl
nal vote on the measure until next
| Wednesday.
