"PAYr ME-" TOMORROW.

Listen, men,-you could hear a
pin drop. The toughest crowd:in the
world stoodc stock still. Hal Curtis
lifted his anger-crimsoned, sblood-shot
eyes from the fear-blanched: face of
the man who had once left him for
dead. "Do you know who this man
is?" he shouted The men know him
only as "Killer" White, the owner
of the Nugget saloon. Ellis name is
Joe Lawson. Seventeen years, ago he
murdered my wife andfstole my child,
and now I find her here among these
wretched women" And he pointed
to Marta, who until that moment sup
posed she was the daughter of the
gambler "And now" turning
fiercely to the 'terror-strickenr man on
his knees in front of him, land now,
you dog, pay met" and a shot rang
out.

quoted an old proverb to the effect
that man who could speak two lam
guages had two souls.
But his stock defence to the ques-
tons Of the Senators was that the
alliance was not to be held legally
bound by the statementsin the bulle-
tin, nor even by speeches by the presi-
dents or other officers Of the alliance.
HeXamer Called Foolish
~ think presidents of societies often
say foolish things was his comment
on the reading Of a statement by Presi-
dent Hexamer.
Explaining the work his organization
sought to accomplish, he declared that
Germans are more easily assimilatcd
than any other people" He then went
on to tell of the "onslaught against
German Americans" in this country
just before the war.
81 never heard anything of such an
onslaught retorted Senator Walcott
Senator King then told of the honors
which had been hcaped on men of Ger
man blood in Utah. and Senator Ster-
ling rushed in with a statement that
ticket was never put up in South
Dakota without German names on t.

the West" said Mr.. Sutro, "but in the
East" then with d look at Senator

thought, would be agreed to without
any great amount of difficulty, adding,
however, that this was something the
men would have to decide for them
selves
James Mathews said yesterday that
his men would agree to anything that
ia fair.
THE men are fair. they have been

no use in denying that they have be-

but they took It in good faith.
Instead, however, of the $40 month
the tidewater boatmen were awarded,
some are getting as low as S45 a month
Lucky ones get as high as $50 The
pay they were to get for handling cargo
at night has not been received. These
men, you must remember, live on these
boats; they are liable to duty at all
hours OF the day and night, and put up
with conditions that are at times in
tolerable
In order to have an impartial ex-
animation made of these conditions nv

disposal of the Department of Labor,
offering to pay all expenses of an in
quiry. This offer has not been sc-
cepted.
Some of the boat owners, mainly
those operating coal boats, have paid
the new scale. Others have not, par
ticularly those operating deck scows.
Demands have been ignored. Now the
men cannot do much else but strike.
"lf they strike we will have the
full support of the longshoremen. The

Mr. Swann's attention was called to

credit was given to Mayor Hylan for

Mr.. Swami was asked whether he had

City's Poor Lose $4,000 That
Came by Chemin de Fer Route
Free Gift of Rich Victim Averse Publicity Declined by
District Attorney Because Statutes Permit
No Compromise

District Attorney Swami said last
night that a prominent and very
wealthy New Yorker who recently lost
$4,000 playing chemin-de-fer sent his
. lawyer to the prosecutors office yester-
day with a check for $4,000 and in
structions to turn it over to fund for
the poor of the city. The lawyer said
his client would gladly pay $4,000 to
have his name kept out of the John Doe
inquiry into gambling because Of dan
ger of injury to his credit and his
business reputation.
A few hours before the lawyer ap-
peared with the check the man called
up on the telephone, according to Mr..
Swami, and offered to turn the money
over to the prosecutor. Mr.. Swami said
he recognized the mans voice, but ap-
parently the man thought that he
wasn't known to the prosecutor.
1T was the first time l ever played
chemin-d fer in my life, and l was
properly trimmed. 1t took just thirty
minutes to do it, too,' said the victim.
aren't you ashamed Of yourself ?"
asked Mr. Swami.
"Thoroughly," the victim replied,
"but I'm sending a check down to you
to turn over to the Charity Commits
sioner for the city's poor"
Don't you know" said the prosecu
tor, chat under the law we can sue you
for it in civil action?"
Silence Worth 100000
"You don't need to sue will pay it
gladly. If it were $4,000 I'd gladly
turn it over to you. All l ask is that
my name be kept out of the newspa
kept out of this business. | give that
amount to charity every year, and l
will call this $4,000 gift to charity
and charge it up to experience"
Between this and the arrival of the
lawyer with the cheek Mr.. Swami con-
ferred with his assistants over the
statute books. They discovered to their
isappointment that there is no pro-
vision enabling prosecuting official to
compromise Section 900 of the penal
law, which provides that every person
VINO wins or loses more than $50 IN a
gambling game within twenty-fou-
hours may be penalized for Give times
the amount won or lost" and the money
turned over to the fund for the poor.
Accordingly, when the lawyer appeared
with the check, there was nothing to do
but decline it.
'If l had the power to compromise
gambling claims under this section we
could collect 1925, O0o from individuals
who have made sworn statements be-
fore Judge Wadhams that they have

 After an inspection of the city's de lenses today Maj. J. Gomez Tagle, chief of staff. declared there was not the remOtest danger of a successful attack by the reoels. He said he was still without information concerning the fate of the garrison at Villa Anu mada which town was captured by the rebels last Sunday.
 Two Americans, A. M. Tinney and Donald Best, officials of the European mine near Villa Ahumada. and who were at the mine when the attack occurred, have not been heard from. Luis Gomeras, and former cattle man of the Villa Ahumada district, now resident of Fl Paso, is reported to have been hanged to a telegraph pole by the rebels, his fate being shared by the mayor of the town.

 The White House, Washington. D. C.. March 27, 1918.

 With very great respect I take the liberty of saying to you that if you could see your way to commute the sentence of Mooney it would have a most heartfelt effect upon certain in ternational affairs which his execu- ton would greatly complicate.

 On June s the governor received this additional message, the president again urging communication of sen- tence:
 The White House, Washington, D. C.. 3:15 D. m, June 4, 1918.
 Hon. Wm. D. Stephens, Sacramen- to, Calf:
 'I beg that you will believe that am moved only by a sense of public duty and of consciousness of the many and complicated interests involved when l again must respectfully sug- gest a communication of the death sen tence imposed upon Mooney, l would not venture again to call your atten- tion to this case did l not know the international significance which at taches' to it.

 ten statement there would be no coi:- ment.
 Governor Stephens in committing the sentence of Thomas J. Mooney to life imprisonment gave out the following statement:
 "On July g, 1916. ten persons - men, women and children-were kill ed and about 50 others wounded in a bomb explosion during a prepared ness parade in the city of San Fran cisco. The parade was a patriotic manifestation into which the people of the city had entered with much spirit and loyal impulse. Manifestly. because of the occasion chosen, hos tility to the nations defense measures must have had a part in actuating the perpetration of so horrible a deed. It is not unreasonable to assume that a sympathetic or even a definite re- lationship existed between those mur- derers and the propaganda and viol- ence then being engaged in through out the country by agents of the Ger man government
 The case as presented to the Cali fornia courts was that of murder, without further evidence of motive than the impossible tenets of anarch- ists; whose sympathies for the Ger man cause in the war are well known. Their wild pacifist theories fitted in- to the widespread activities of the kaiser's agents in this country.
 "A number of persons of pronounced anarchistic tendencies were arrested shortly after the explosion and of these Warren K. Billings was convict ed and sentenced to life imprisonment and Thomas J. Mooney found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
 50 long as avenues of appeal to the courts remained open to Mooney. and he was availing himself thereof, l deemed it improper for executive au- thority to interfere. Although the constitution of California clothes the governor with power to exercise elem ency at any time after conviction. it is important so far as possible. not to introduce into any criminal case until the judicial branch has finally disposed of it. Only recently has final action been taken by the United States supreme court and the case of the people vs. Thomas J. Mooney placed squarely before me.
 Tn considering the Mooney case, have had before me the urgent appeal
