TEDDY DENOUNCED;
 G0MPERS UPHELD
Central Federated Union Acts on
 Dispute Over Riots

Both Theodore Roosevelt and Sam uel Gompers were criticised last night at a meeting of theuCentral Federated Union. After a hot discussion the delegates passed a resolution attack ing the Colonel and upholding tho labor leader for their parts in the Carnegie Hall clash on the question of the race riots in East St. Louis. The resolution read:
 "The Central Federated Union Of Greater New York and vicinity fully approves and indorses the position taken by President Samuel Gompers at the C1rnegie Hall meeting held OF Friday night, July 6, 1917, in sup porting the organized labor move ment in East St. Louis and explaining the true facts of the rioting, which situation had been misrepresented to the large audience by Col. Theodore Roosevelt and which we consider was hidden attack upon organized labor"
 "Gompers lost the one opportunity that American labor has ever had 70 place the labor movement in fair and recognized position before the general public,' said James Bagley, Delegate of Franklin Pressman's As sistants Union. No. 23 interrupting the applause with which the resolu- tionS were greeted.
 "Col Roosevelt had the better of the argument he continued. "He made Gompers look small. He forced him to remain silent while he up- braided organized labor. Terrible Ted dy took the opportunity of getting

DEAR LADIES MAY
 HOLD POKER PARTIES
Judge Rules Cards May Fly in
 Private Homes

New York, July 14.-After she had lost $1,700 in a certain lively little poker circle of Sheepshead Bay Ma irons, Mrs. Mary Prendergast of No. 2671 East Nineteenth street fell to considering her advancing years and grew repentant of her da1liance with the disks of red, white and blue and the fever of holding straights and flushes.
 Therefore she caused Mrs Clara Hall, wife of a racetrack patrol judge, to be taken to the Coney Island court, charged with conducting a gambling place at her home, No S1O0 Ocean avenue.
 We played for money-lots of money" Mrs. Prendergast yesterday told Magistrate Geismar. Usually we would meet at Mrs. Halls in the afternoon and play before and after dinner. Each of us gave Mrs. Hall $1 when we began to play and $3 more if we we kept playing after midnight"
 Didn't you get anything for your money?" demanded Jerry Weinberg, counsel for Mrs. Hall.
 "Oh yes. The dollar was pay for the expenses of the dinner"
 And the B extra?"
 That was for refreshments" It was not only at Mrs. Halls home, Mrs. Prendergast readily con- ceded, that poker parties were held. In fact every woman of the circle from time to time had a game in her home.
 Ever have game at your own house?" questioned the lawyer Mrs Prendergast nodded in the af- firmative.
 "Oh. yes. I'm just as guilty as Mrs. Han," she said. That is I used to be just as guilty. But I'm getting on in years now and I'm repentant haven't any malice against Mrs. Hall. All I want to do is to break the game up."
 How much did you lose?" About $1,700 in the last two years There are others who lost more I know one woman who lost $2,0OO and another one told me if she lost any more she'd think seriously of com uniting suicide. That's when I be- gan to think things over and became repentant."
 Mrs. Selma Schieman of No. SIS East Seventeenth street, Flatbush, was also a witness. It was she who lost $2,Oo0.
 Both women admitted that no out siders were admitted into the games, which were confined strictly to their own private circle. Both said no profit could have been made out of the $1 and $3 fees.
 As far as Magistrate Geismar is concerned the Sheepshead matrons may go right on opening jackpots He dismissed the complaint against Mrs. Hall.
 "1f,' he commented, i've started sending people to Jail for holding pri- vate card games, we'd have the jails filled with prominent citizens"

HELP THE CHILDREN
 FIGHT THE FLIES
More Screens Wanted at Homes
 for Boys and Girls

| Get your screen" is the bed-tim e | slogan at the Children's Home houses l nowadays. When bedtime comes the odd procession starts. Each young- ster takes 8 screen from downstairs. and trudges aloft to fit it into place in one of his bed room windows. The reason for. this nightly stunt is that tnere are not enough screens for all the windows Daytimes the screens are supposed to keep out the flies on the first floor, and nights to shut out mosquitoes from the sleeping rooms But the scheme does not work because the flies and mosquitoes get there first The children point to the flies and dis play their mosquito bites ruefully They say they need some more screens badly.
 Every child has some duty at the Ch1ldren's Home. Some of the boys have formed a messenger service squad, doing errands daily for the matrons of the five different houses They are also on call at any time to assist MT. Klingberg at the office.
 To teach them the value of money the boys of the milking squad are be- ing paid small sum weekly. The gar dening squad also work under this system, and make a careful account ing of the dimes and quarters they earn. But ''all work and no play makes Jack @ dull boy" in their esti- nation. and so. after taking inventory of the funds in their bank, they decid- ed to spend a little money on a trol- ley trip to the seashore. Groups of the larger boys from two houses, es- corted by the house matrons, having made trips during the week to Savin Rock and to Cosey Beach. Both par ties took picnic lunches and had a fine salt water swim. AS a result of the outing the boys can hoe potatoes twice as fast, they say.
 Thursday evening all the girls at the Hart Street house carried their sup per up to Walnt Hill Park for a pie nic meal, to celebrate the birthday of one of their number.
 A friend of the Children's Home has donated a thrifty garden for the use of one of the girls houses. All vegetables from this plot are to be gathered and used by the girls at the Hart Street house.
 Reverend John Birsenik of the Let tish Church in Boston was an inter- ested visitor at the Children's Home this week. His parish is composed of Lettish and Estonian Protestants from the provinces near the Baltic.

BANDITS GET $20
 EACH FOR MURDER
Shoot Policeman and Escape With $1OO in Coin, Overlooking $1O,OOO
 More in Messengers Auto.

Chicago, July 14.-Twenty dollars each was the reward five robbers earned for killing Policeman Peter Bulfn and leaving seven children fa- therless.
 Bulf1n was slain while trying to de- fend Edward Wyatt, who was held up just after he had started from the Chicago City Bank and Trust Com ,pany with more than $10,0O0 in his possession.
 The bandits seized bag full of nickels, but overlooked the bulk of the treasure. They fled, leaving Bull fin crumpled up in the back of an automob bile with bullet hole through his heart.
 Thirty minutes after they disap- peared the bank telephone rang.
 Flows the cop?" voice inquired. Did he die?'
 "Yes," the inquirer was told
 "Good"' exclaimed the voice. Then the receiver went up.
 Wyatt, a messenger for the bank, makes a trip each m morning to the Live Stock Exchange National Bank in the stockyards. Policeman Bulf1n was his regular companion. Wyatt took his box full of money az usual and climbed into an automobile in front of the bank. Bulfn took a seat beside him. The car was on the point of starting when four men ran up They drew revolvers
 ."Hands up!" their leader ordered.
 Wyatt and Bulfin got to their feet, Wyatt with his hands in the air, Bulfin reached for his revolver, but he was not swift enough. Before he could grip his weapon one of the bandits had fired.
 A robber seized the box of cash and snatched one of the bags of money from it. Then came a series of re- volver reports from within the bank, where E. H. Holtorff, the cashier, be- gan to take hand in the battle. The bandits ran to an automobile, where fifth man sat at the wheel, await ing them.
 The car shot away it's occupants turning around and firing two Or three times to intimidate possible pursuers.
 Bulin received honorable mention last September for bravery displayed in capturing one of three armed men who held up a restaurant.

SUFFS PLANNING,
 MORE WAR WORK
Miss DWyer Asked to Accept Post
 in France
Especial to tho Herald.)

Hartford. July 14.-Tho executive board of tho Connecticut Woman Suffrage association will meet at the summer home Of Mrs. George H, Day at Fenwick. Tho meeting will un- doubtedly be fuller than is usual in the summer for several members of the board who are accustomed to go out or the state in summer are staying in Connecticut to carry out various forms of war work that they have under taken. All the work done SO far in cooperation with the national and state governments and with Dr. Anna Shaw's committee which forms the womans division of the National Council Of Defense will be reviewed and new plans arranged. The suffra- gists are raising about $1O,O00 for their war work. Of this $500 is being raised in each of five counties for the expenses of a woman food demonstra- tor.
 In New London and Midd1esex coun- ties the suffragists are giving in each $1,0OO for a similar purpose. In New Haven county the money is being raised for other purposes much of it being Tor the maintenance of a suf- frage farm training school, the Race brook farm, near Derby. Money has also been nberally contributed for other purposes. Miss Rose Dwyer, who is an acknowledged expert in con- nect1on with mental troubles due to meningitis and nerve shock, has been asked by the government to go to France to work among the many vic- tims of nerve shock there. Before ac- cepting the offer she is making an ap- peal for the food which Is absolutely necessary for these poor victims if they are to have a chance of recovery. She states that in all cases of nerve shock and nerve exhaustion sugar is vitally necessary. Sugar stocks in France are very low, and neither the little children-many of whom are suffering from nerve shock, not the older victims, get enough sugar. She Is therefore asking that whenever the suffragists are making jam or jelly they will put aside one jar for these victims of the war. She can ensure transportation to France if the jam and jelly is forthcoming. Collections of these jars will be made at suffrage headquarters in Hartford. Whenever possible the women are asked to bring or send the jam and belly there, and where this is not possible if the women will communicate with their county chairman or with the president of the nearest league means will be found Of transporting the jelly and putting it at the disposition of Miss Dwyer.
