Among Men Cheated by Un-
fair Apparatus

Fifty-f1fth and Pine streets station. who
was arrested last Saturday. accused Of con-
fiscating s235 from a gaming table in the
rooms Of the Legion Republican Club. 5o27
Market street today cleared up some of
the mystery attached to his visit to that
place.
Forbes also announced that he would in
stitute suit for damages for false arrest
This suit, Forbes said today, would be
directed against William Black, president
Of the Legion Republican Club
Forbes laughed today when asked about
the published stories that he had sacrificed
himself to expose gambling conditions in
West Philadelphia He said that he was
a policeman at heart and that he liked his
Job too well. Persons familiar with the
case today also ridiculed the published
story that factional politics figure in the
present case.
According to Forbes's frank admission,
he went TO the club while in full uniform
but off duty. He was accompanied by
friend. Both engaged in game of dice
in one of the rooms Of the club In the
midst Of the game, Forbes said today, he
discovered that the dice were loaded" Ac-
cordng TO Forbes, he picked up the alleged
loaded dice" and started to walk out
when he alleges Black threatened him with
a blackjack.
when this fellow Black tried to Smasn
me over the head with a jack" said Forbes,
II decided to protect myself. and drew my
gun It is true that I took possession OF
all the money that was on the table. But
IL is joke to read the story that placed
about 5000 in a sack, which | threw over
my shoulder, and, while pointing my re-
volver at the crowd, walked out of the
place and then went to wildwood to enjoy
myself with the money.
When did do was to call over the men
who lost their money with crooked dice
and then I distributed the money among
them I still have the crooked dice in my
possession. II is not true that my visit TO
the club has any political significance. l
| like my job too we'll to sacrifice it
Neither Superintendent of Police Robin
| son nor Director Wilson have as yet received
| a report on the case. Forbes's superiors
| said today that after the hearing of the
| policeman is disposed of tomori cw, charges
| will be preferred against him for conduc
unbecoming an officer
Police Sergeant Dickinson, of the Fifty
| ff0 and Pine streets station, said today
| that Forbes was a model officer
| Black was held in $500 bail for a further
| hearing today for carrying concealed
weapons. Black was arrested early today
at Fifty-second and Market streets. after

Haverford where was the housekeeper for
good boys, and now I am the superln-
tendent Of bad girls'-she smiled at the
use Of the word--"but, really. there's so
much bad in the best of us, and so much
good in the worst of us. that 1t doesn't be-
hoove the rest of us to speak i'll of any of
u.s.
II am an apostle of the kindly word"
she continued my short experience with
the girls here-there are twenty now-has
shown me how much they react to it. Per-
haps one Of the reasons why they are here
is because they have never had that kindly
word. don't believe a great deal in harsh
ness, even when an extreme case seems to
demand It. I don't think it works. l believe
that broadmindedness, tolerance and a good
example are the best weapons for handling
human nature of any type
IT, too, am a Presbyterian-like the
President" Miss Wright said humorously,
but I don't believe in imposing any rigid
restrictions on the girls amusements here.
I thoroughly sympathize with their desire
to dance and play games. even cards, and
/ can tell you that almost the first time
we turned the talking machine on since
have been here, I discovered that there are
some excellent dancers among the girls"
The new superintendent is of motherly
appearance, a rnotheriness professonalized
by the white nurse-like uniform that she
wears but losing none of its merit thereby.
This you learn the minute she talks to you
in the quiet firm tones of one who much
prefers acting to talking She is not a
suffragist, nor a Democrat
Il haven't time for the former" she said.
"and as for the latter-well I'm for the
best man"
The best man, somehow or other. you
feel, is the man whose tribute In his in
dorsement of her is one that any woma n
might we'll be proud of.
