MAN KILLED IN
FIST FIGHT IN
n. Y. SUBWAY

NEW YORK, March IA general
alarm for a little man with q black
eye has been sent out by the police.
This unidentified man. detectives of
the First branch say, turned upon
George A Wigman, OF Brooklyn, on
the Canal street subway platform
after wigman had blackened his eye
and sent the latter crashing to the
concrete floor, where he was found
with a fractured skull.
wigman was taken to the Hudson
Street Hospital, where he died two
hours later. The man who knocked
him down dashed up the subway
stairs and disappeared. Or he may
have slipped into another subway
train that pulled up just after the
assault-accounts of his escape dis
agree.
A third person participated in the
dispute which is said to have pre-
ceded the fight. Witnesses absolve
him from striking any OF the blows,
and Detectives Riley and Morrissey,
of the First branch, who are on the
case, hope he may come forward and
so enable them to arrest the man
who felled Wigman.
wigman is described to the police
as a much bigger man than the as
saIlant who felled him. Fellow pas
sengers in the same subway car say
the two were In q heated argument
and came to blows before the train
drew into the Canal street station.
about 1 o'clock. Before the train
stopped, Wigman blackened the other
mans eye.

NEW YORK WILL
HAVE NO BAN ON
POKER IN CLUBS

NEW YORK, March Members Of
Legitimate clubs and benevolent or
ganizations are not to be deprived OF
their games of poker OF other card
games as a result of the gambling
prosecution and investigation now
going on before Judge Wadhams in
general sessions. Several members Of
a club on Fifth avenue and me repro
sentative of another club near Fifth
avenue. who feared that the inquiry
against gambling generally portended
the enforced closing of all card
rooms, applied to the district attor-
ney for a ruling on the gambling law
as he intended it to apply to legiti-
mate social clubs OF good standing.
In reply District Attorney Swami yes
terday issued the following state
ment:
mo reputable club which has a card
room as a mere incident OF the clubs
activities and used solely for the recre-
alton and relaxation of the members
will be interfered with. But the mere
incorporation of a gambling combine
masqueradIng under the name of q So
cial club will not protect professional
gamblers in plying their nefarious
trade of separating the credulous fool
from his money. The district attor-
ney will use all OF the powers OF his
office to suppress professional gamb-
ling"
A club gambler, as further defined
by A. ]. TaIley, chief assistant district
attorney, is one whose chief occupa-
tion is that of playing for money
against all comers.
"The ordinary poker play or other
games indulged in by the average
clubman is not gambling in the sense
of the legal purpose OF this prosecu-
tion." said Mr.. Talley. Games of
chance in most OF the first class
clubs are only incidents In club life
generally. The club does not exist for
that purpose, and usually but a small
proportion OF the members OF the big
soical clubs engage in play OF any
kind for money. These clubs exist
principally for social purposes

Germans Fail to Win Despite
Heavy Forces Employed

London, April 6-The Germans
have made a Formidable effort, prob
bly, aimed at getting astride Of the
Amiens-Paris railways, says Reuters
correspondent at British headquarters
in France.
Thanks to the stubborn resistance,
the only success attained was the
driving of a salient of about 1000
yards wide to an extreme depth OF
1000 yards.
Among the 4 German divisions be
lieved to have been engaged were
some of the best corps. including the
lst Prussian Guard, commanded by
Prince IIitel Friedrich, and two 9TH
er guard divisions,
CAS- the official bulletin from Paris
states that Is divisions We're used

statement shows that 29 divisions, or
rearly $50 900 men, were employed
by the Germans Thursday in attack
ing the Allies on Il 16-mile front)
Another Reuter- dispatch from
headquarters, describing the attack
on the British lines, says that the in

ciple OF attacking in dense waves was
followed by the Germans. The as

appeared to have had for its object

of Corbil. nearly four miles north

rifle fire, the dispatch continues, but

livered by the British troops was not
in sufficient weight to restore the po-
sition.
Among the German units lighting
on the SOmme the famous Brandon
burg corps has been identified, the
correspondent adds. Although the
enemy has used all the artillery he
could concentrate, his fire has not
been particularly heavy as lombard

mainly to prepondcrance of num-
lerS.
Prisoners report that owing to bad
communications and the harrassing
fire of the British guns the Germans

one of these cards is requested to send
one of them in the same way to five
Of his friends, with the same instruc-
tons. In this way, in a short time,
