tionD. became acquainted with i'm
questionable men of money, led the
conversation into mention OF gambling,
and then. with the subjects demanding
that they be gated, introduced them
TO the lowering demonstrators of the
art of chance.
How any one can for a moment credit
such a wild yarn seems beyond normal
understanding. II is as unreasonable
TO believe that. on the night OF the
Suburban Handicap, a man Identified
with polo lost 81 500 in the gray house,
yachtsman lost $4,000, and that a
real estate dealer won $4,000. While
on this line of statements unbelievable,
it must be added that the story goes
that a patron could not buy less than
$50 worth Of chips.

turbed by all this baseless talk. He

il would be Just the luck of his sue

Petit, although a young man, has

that he is ambitious, it is necessary
only to state that about ten years ago
he used to drive horse-drawn hack

Gradually he rose in life. lie sold dry

but did not let this be known until

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 5.-A test
case TO determine whether speakers of
the organized labor movement may ad-
dress a mass meeting, on private prop
erty, without police interference, will
be heard in the City Court tomorrow,
as a result of the arrest to-day of three
labor leaders. Frederick Cederholm
formerly an alderman and now a mem
Der of several important city boards !:
George j. Bowen, business agent of
The Bridgeport Machinsts' Union, and
Louis J. Nelson, Of Chicago, who, the
police say, is an agitator, were held in
bail.
The police say they received orders
from Mayor and Acting Governor Cliff
ford B. Wilson to suppress the speak
ers.
The machinists' union hired the
ground on which the mass meeting
was held. because yesterday they were
restrained from meeting in a public
street.
William II. Johnson, international
president Of the machinists, arrived
here this evening and will fight the
case tomorrow. A meeting of the
union will be held tomorrow night

evening, when a grievance committee
was discharged by the company. The

SUBWAY TIE-UP,
BUILDERS THREAT
Change in Contract for
Extra Work on Dual
System Opposed.
M'ANENY OBJECTS
TO NOTIFICATIONS
Lv-.,- Legality aid Refuses to
Approve Award for Third
Section in Brooklyn.

Litigation that may stop construction
work on the dual subway system indeii-
nitely was threatened yesterday at the
meeting of the Board Of Estimate as
result of a controversy as to whether
the board had the right to alter con-
tract which had already been adver-
tised and awarded. Former Lieutenant
Governor Thomas F. Conway, counsel
for Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins, the low
est bidders on the contract for the con-
struction of the new Broadway sub
way, between Thirty-eighth and Fifty
first streets, fatty told the board that
he would take the matter to the courts
and halt the work indefinitely If the
board attempted to change the contract
as awarded.
The board approved the Broadway
contract last week, with the provision
included permitting the chief engineer
of the Public Service Commission to
agree with the contractors on lump
sum for extra work, the necessity for
which developed in the course Of con-
struction. J. Tilden Adamson, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Contracts OF the
Board of Estimate, suggested that the
lump sum provision be stricken out, so
that the contracts would call only for
payment of cost, plus 10 per cent
profit. The board al proved the sug-
gestion over the protest Of President
McAneny. Acting Mayor in Mayor
Mitchel's absence.
Henry II. Curran Acting President
Of the Board of Aldermen, and acting
President of Queens Dayton, supported
Mr.. McAneny in his contention that the
position of the contractors was well
taken, and the action of the board
might be illegal. Controller Prender-
CAST, Borough Presidents Pounds of
Brooklyn, Mathewson of The Bronx,
Van Name of Richmond and Acting
Borough President Folks of Manhattan
voted for striking out the provision.
This means that the completion OF
the entire dual subway system is
jeopardized," said Mr.. McAneny. THE
section concerned is the most impor-
tant now in course of construction,
and without it the system will be in
operative.
Mr.. Conway declared that his eli
cnts would not accept the modification,
and if any attempt was made to re-
advertise for bids, he would apply for
an injunction, and carry the case to
the highest courts, in order 20 pro-
tect the contractors rights.
Following the approval of the Adam
son recommendation, Acting Mayor
McAneny refused to approve the
award of the contract for the third
section of the Eastern Parkway sub
way, in Brooklyn, to Rodgers g. Hag-
erty, the lowest bidders. Representa-
tives of the contractors stated that
they were ready TO accept the Adam
son amendment, but Mr.. McAneny re-
sponded that this fact would not make
it legal and that he could not con-
sistently approve any resolution
which would have the result, in all

Wilson Miner, the playwright, de-
MED Yesterday that he had disappeared:

Developments in the machinists'

that certain shops were willing to con

that this would not necessarily pre-
vent the international association call
tng a strike to force an eight-hour day
and higher wages at all the plants IN

coded TO the increase IN paw. but an

the eight hour day until a majority OF
the machinery firms did. 1t is eX-
pected that their refusal may cause

ISOLATION"
William H. Johnston. president Of
this organization, conferred yesterday
with business agents Of the ASSOCIATION
AT headquarters, 1l6 Nassau Street.
He declined to make q statement as to
the present outlook. He remarked,
however. that the men had long felt
the need Of helping themselves, but
had not found the time propltlous be-
fore war orders were contracted for
their shops.
He said that he did not blame them
for taking advantage of conditions. He
stated that he favored a get-together
plan between employer and employe.
but that the manufacturers did not
seem favorable. He has sanctioned
strikes in all local plants which re-
fuse the workers demands, and it was
said that official consent would be eX-
tended 70 every section Of the country
where machinists are at work.
1t is evident that the policy pursued
by the association is to attack all shops

Twas Ali Reynolds's Fault.

IL wasn't necessary for Petit TO be so
thorough. A person of ordinary in
telligence. with one look at the gray
house, could see there was no gambling.
| On Wednesday the honest middle aged
man was the only person around the
place. Yesterday an honest young
negro was the only one. The two and
a half story house radates virtue.
Two blocks away the surf roars out its
prOtestations against the Infamous
charges. A half block distant the
neglected sand piles seem to smile
cynically at the accusations. The
frogs in the nearby swamp croak mock
ingly at the complaints.
The true story of the gray house was
learned yesterday. Former Senator
William II. Reynolds. WHO owns a great
deal at Long Beach, was seen talking
with a traction magnate early this
spring. Their conversation was not
overheard, but somebody spread the
rumor that subway was TO be built
to Long Beach, so Considne, Roth
stein and Burke conferred and de-
cided that they saw a wonderful. op-
portunity TO make money. They

Apparently the toughest job in TINS
state is that Of Sheriff of Nassau
County. Honest Steve" Petit, of
Freeport, is the graceful occupant OF
that Office now, and he has become so
disturbed over the recent horrible
rumors of gambling in his territory
that he hasn't been able to sleep more
than nine hours night.
First there came the report that
bookmaking was being permitted dur
ing the race meeting at Belmont PARK
"Honest Steve" denied it absolutely,
and District Attorney Lewis j. Smith,
in an investigation, proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt and peradventure Of
a doubt and everything else Of doubt
that no gambling was going on at Bel
mont Park.
Now comes the ridiculously absurd
story that gamblers have been per-
mitted to operate in a splendid gray
house at Broadway and Montgomery
Place, Long Beach, few hundred feet
outside of the easterly boundary of the
village of Long Beach. That house is
within Honest Steve's" jurisdiction.
The unqualified liar who helped to
circulate the story limited that Honest
George" Considine, Honest Arnold"
Rothstein and Honest Eddie" Burke
were financially interested in the move
ment to reduce the bankrolls of the
honest citizenry. That rumor had been
running along for considerable length
of time, but it was kept from the ears
of Honest Steve" until Wednesday,
when he went to the gray house to find
out for himself. OF course, there was
no gambling. An honest man of middle
age came to the door and told him
there was no gambling. That didn't
satisfy Steve. He went inside, looked
around, came out and then said:
There's no gambling"
