result is that 1t is, In at least some

aire played roulette, losing $4,000
for the amusement OF some young
women companions.
It was thisshouse also that the mo-
torious Jack Rose said he urged
Becker to raid SO that blackmaH
might be levied. One of the hand
soonest cottages at Long Beach has
been fitted up as club and the big
gest games that have been played in
years are played there.
A fortnight ago one player left
the house more than $4,000 out Of
pocket. Two nights later another
young millionaire lost $4,000. Long
Beach is short run from New York
and a mecca for motorists.

come strangely numerous on the
streets of the metropolis playing

heard In the purlfeus of Harlem or
among the spreading ailenthus
