GAMBLING PALACE
TO Be HASH HOUSE

NEW YORK, Nov. o1.-Memories of
halcyon days of that long past era
when the sportsmen of New York
and the nation worshiped at the
shrine of the Temple of Chance are
revived by the announcement that
the house once famous as Canfields
has been leased and will be converted
INTO restaurant.
This building, which is four-story
orownstone dwelling, Immediately ad-
Joining Delmonico's, had a spectacular
career during the stormy days OF the
district attorneyship of William Trav-
ers Jerome. 1t was the object OF
raid after raid, and although Can
Held was arrested indicted, and placed
under heavy bond, he finally escaped
going to prison.
When Canfield equipped this place it
was heralded far and wide as the
most luxurious gambling palace In
America. 1t was designed exclusively
Tor men of wealth and only men or
wealth were allowed across it's por-
tails, save when the officers of the
law went across for their unwelcome
calls.
In the Canfield days the estimate on
the cost of the furnishings of the
Temple of Chance was S5OO.0OO. re-
cent estimate placed the value at
$3.50 900. but at present prices it is
said that 1T would take double that
sum to replace them.
The furnishings of Candeld's were
exquisite in their fineness and variety.
There were specially designed and
woven carpets and rugs, antique fur
niture, wonderful cabinet work, and
| wood carvings. The three upper floors
were graced by antiques, statuary,
bric-a-brac, painting and tapestries
gathered from all parts of the world
some Of which are now almost price
! less.
The little "cubby hole" which Can
| field called his office was one of the
most lavishly decorated rooms in the
house. Less than nine feet square, 1t
| was decorated with matched panels of
white mahonany inlaid with mother
| of pearl at cost of $4,000. An ad-

But I soon heard the voice again and

started toward the door leading into
Spencer's sleeping room.
II was conscious that there was
something moving toward me. I ad-
vanced and struck out in the dark
ness to grasp ii by the throat. Ny
hands met something that seemed not
like human flesh but like the SUBJ

Mr. Lamar said his conclusion was
based upon information contained In

Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter. Mr. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted with
such regularity that It's magnitude
can be measured by the bold and out,

therein to inaugurate a nationwide

4th of July they went into ac-

He was hit with a high explosive
and had his leg broken and rib
broken. He was in the hospital
from Oct. Is till he left for the
U. S. A. He is able to walk with
the aid of a cane. Andrew said
he could not sound the praise Of
the Red Cross enough. He said
they certainly made the life of a
soldier the nearest like home
life that anyone could make it.
They gave them socks, sweaters,
etc, all they needed; helped
them in every way they could;
fed them every place they could
meet them; on the way from
New York, where they stopped,
they met them with hot lunch,
at Austin, Mimi, he said the la
dies served them with hot cakes,
maple syrup, wieners, hot bis
cults, coffee and cigarettes. He
said words could not express the
comforts and good the Red Cross
did. He said sunny France did
not appeal to him-good old Pine
county was the best place he had
seen and the dearest place to
him. We surely are glad to see
him back. The report came back
at one time he had been killed
but later word came that he was
only wounded. He was the only
boy from here wounded.
