SORROW MARKS MOVING
DAY AT CALLS CLUB
Deep Mourning Fills Place as
Card Tables Are
Removed

Two card tables and one crap table were
included in the furniture which was re-
moved today from Judge" Joe Calls pet
gambling club at 1927 North Broad street.
Bystanders who were watching the NOV
Ing operation, speculated how much money
had been lost or won on these tables.
They wondered how many suckers" had
been caught by Cal-protected card sharps
about these festive gambling boards. BY
ISLANDERS craned their necks and nudged
each other significantly when they saw n
case full of poker chips and card packs
placed in the moving van.
Certain little Club treasures" il is said
were taken to the office of Judge" Call
They included a crayon of Dave Lane. sage
of the Republican Organization and leader
of the Twentieth Ward, the clubs seal and
the clubs charter.
Calls lieutenants said today that the
club was mo more" but this statement
is viewed with considerable slSepticism by
persons who are familiar with the checkered
career of the Twentieth Ward Republican
Club. 1t is known that Calls poker joint
has as many lives as the proverbial cat
Three times in the past FOUR years the club
has been declared mo more" but each time
the club has come back to life in some
other locality.
Joe Segal, member of the house commit
tee, was a sad onlooker today while the
movers denuded the clubhouse of its fur
nishings.
TOO bad, too bad" he said, here we
had nice club, where business men could
get meals at a reasonable price and have
little harmless amusement Then a
bunch of dirty politicians had to squirt the
mud pump at our institutions"
Was there any gambling in the club?"
Segal was asked.
Gambling, huh" barked Segal con-
temptuousy; why the nearest approach to
gambling we ever had here was some harm
less little pinochle games with a 5O-cent
limit. Only a noisy church deacon with
an Allentown conscience would call that
gambling"
The attention of Segal was called to
sign attached to the newell post of a stair
way leading to the second floor of the club
The sign read. only members allowed up
stairs"
What's the purpose of that sign. Mr..
Segal?"
Segal shook his head sadly.
Don't ask so many questions" he said
plaintively, II feel bad today. Look at
those barren floors. It's a blame shame.
tell you. boys"
Where is the furniture going?" segal
was asked
'oh. it will probably be sold to in
dividuals; we must have money to pay
the debts of the club"

fuslllade of shots from rear porches and

dim figure of a man crouching by a
window They jumped at him, but he
eluded them, leaped over n bed and. with a
bound, gained the dining room. Then be-
gan race around the dining room table.
Finally the alleged burglar upset the table
and when the policemen had finished dis
entangling themselves they found the pur-
sued had disappeared In the meantime
the snipers, in ghostly attire, had drawn up
in battle array in the rear of the house.
Beams from a street lamp glistened on
their drawn weapons
A noise in the kitchen caused the police
men to hurry to that room They found
the alleged burglar trying TO secrete himself
under wash tub. He was slated at the
Sixty-tirst and Thompson streets station as

by Guests in Hotel
NEW YORK. Aug. 81
COPELAND TOWNSEND, owner

COPELAND TOWNSEND, owner
~ of the Hotel Majestic and former
manager of the Palmer House, in
Chicago, has kept a curious record
of unusual requests made by his
guests. Here are few cases:
A woman in mourning who re-
fused to ride on the elevators with
any one else save the operator. =
A man who wanted the same thing
for lunch every day in the year and
who wanted it on the table at 2
o'clock whether he was there or not.
A woman who wanted all parcels
delivered under wax seal placed
there by the hotel.
A Southerner who always insisted
on having seven blankets on his bed.
Six would not suffice.
A man with a family of two boys
and a girl, who insisted on his chill
dren having the freedom of the
mems writing room for an hour
every afternoon. He did not have
his request granted.
A woman who demanded to taste
every article of food before it was
fed to her poodle dog.
A Spaniard who was afflicted with
insomnia and always wanted a regu-
lar bed and one made on the floor
so he could alternate between the
two.
A stage star who had a bellboy
bring her a bouquet of flowers each
evening at dinner, which she pur-
chased herself and which bore the
name of fictitious male admirer.

FRIGAR WILL TRY
AGAIN TO OBTAIN
RELEASE ON BAIL
Attorneys Will Renew Eff
forts to Win Freedom
for Client
INQUEST NEXT TUESDAY

Further efforts are to be made for the re.
lease on bail OF Ellis D. Frigar. the %.
ysar-old civil engineer whose plea before
Judge Monaghan. in Common Pleas Court
No. 8, for that release yesterday resulted
IN failure and his imprisonment in the Moy-
an1enslng murderers' row to await trial for
killing Edward Boland in NELL drive, Fair
mount Park, the night of August %.
II became known today that plans are
being made by the attorneys for the defense
TO try again for their clients freedom on
hall
Franklin Spencer Edmonds. attorney for
FriEar said he would go before Judge
Monaghan after the inquest Tuesday and
apply for writ of habeus corpus 70 free
his client until the trial 'if II happens" he
said. that the coroner's jury does not
order his release"
The coroner's jury has authority to exon
crate Frigar and order his discharge
Should this be done. however, the police
say they will rearrest him. There is only
one such case in local records, they say.
where a person pleading self-defense In
killing another was discharged by Cor
oner's jury.
That was some years ago when South
Philadelphia saloonkeeper. John Mcmahon,
shot and killed real estate speculator
named Leary. Mcmahon had met Leary on
the street and shot him, pleading before the
Coroner's jury that his act was to avenge
his daughters ruined reputation He was
discharged by the jury and rearrested by
the police.
He was convicted and served in the
penitentiary until two years ago, when he
was pardoned
I'm our appeal to the murderer to give
himself up" said Captain Tate there was
no immun promised to the man. He gave
himself up and now it is up to him to prove
self-defense."
Should Frigar be held for the September
Grand Jury by the Coroners jury. and
should the Grand Jury indlct him, his trial
win not be called until January, 1917. He
will be held in Jail during that time II his
appeal for release on bail Is denied next
time.
II Frigar is held for the Grand Jury,
Miss Amanda Sykes his hancee, may be
summoned by subpoena to tell what took
place the night of the shooting. Under the
laws she cannot be called on to testify, but
the District Attorney can question and
cross-examine her. Should Frigar and
Miss Sykes become married she cannot be
called on to testify or be made to answer
questions.
The police are looking through the
records in the marriage license Office to
see II there is record of the marriage of
Miss Sykes to Frigar, When Attorney
Edmonds was asked IL they were married,
he answered, 'oh, fddle"
The inquest into the death of Boland
will be held Tuesday Coroner Knight has
fixed the date and Coroner's Detective Frank
Paul Is continuing with his investigation of
the case. There are more than score of
witnesses. it Is said. who will be examined.
