NEBRASKA MAY CALL
SPECIAL SESSION TO
ACT UPON SUFFRAGE

Lincoln, Neb, June 5.--Governor
Samuel r. McKelyie today said he
would give serious consideration TO
the question of calling a special ses-
sion of the legislature to act on the
woman suffrage amendment, If at
some future date it appears that Ne
braska's ratification is needed to give
Nebraska women fun voting rights at
the next presidential election
At present Nebraska women enjoy
but partial voting privileges, being
prohibited from voting for officers
provided for by state constitution
Suffragists, however hope to obtain
full suffrage by constitutional con-
vention here next December.

AT THE LYRIC.
Robes of regal splendor are worn
hv Nazimova in her newest super
feature, The Red Lantern which
comes to the Lyric today Among
these robes is the heavy silken garb
of the Goddess of the Red Lantern
and the awe-inspiring habiliments OF
Chinese warrior chief.
For Mahlee. the half Chinese. half
English girl, played by NazlmoVa'
bears a not remote resemblance to
Frances Juan of Arc. True. she
leads a hopeless cause, that of the
Boxers against the European in emma,
And her heart is torn between the
love she bears for an Englshman ana
the ancient traditions of the yellow
race.
NaZfmova wears the warriors cos
tune during the tumultuous scenes
in the streets of Pekin, when the
Boxers clash with the troops of the
allied nations sent to quell the uprls-
ing. Mounted, as was the immortal
Jeanne d. Arc. Mahlee leads the yell
low hordes against their white foes
until all hope is gone. Then. with
the stoicism of the Oriental blood, she
seeks death by her own hand in the
throne room of the emperor's palace.
The warriors costume, a striking
robe of embroidered silk, with the
head of lion depending from the
waist, is apparel worn only by those of
the Chinese who stand ready TO give
their lives for the race The lion s
head is the highest symbol Of valor
at arms.
The robes are of the heaviest Chi.

AT THE IDEAL,


The Western rancher had furnished
the money needed to send his sweet
heart to the east, where she could
pursue her study OF art, and then fol-
lowed her to bring her home. When
he came to her boarding house in
New York city and knocked on her
door it was some minutes before the
door was opened. When his sweet
heart did open the door and he held
out his arms to her, she did not rush
to MIN. as he had expected, And
then he made a discovery most
distressing discovery, and one that
made him leave the room quickly and
take the first train back home. And
when he did get home, he immediate
ly set fire to the house he had so la
boriously constructed for his wife.

The present attraction at the Pas

some attraction he is, In For Free

its initial showing in this city yester-
day, this popular William Fox star
equals his best previous work on the
screen-his best cannot be eXcelled--
and his admirers turned out in force
to welcome him.
This new vehicle affords Mr.. Far
mum another fine opportunity to
show his remarkable dramatic ability,
and as a convict who fights against
great odds to rehabilitate himself in
the eyes of society. the actor again
added to his well-earned fame. His
scenes in the prison. on the battle
field as a paroled man. and in his
fight to win the girl he loves, were
heart clutchers" all. In other words,
they were Farnum scenes of the true
sort.
The Great Farnum will be at the

waited.
For seven years after Garfield shook
the dust of Saratoga from his feet the
community got along without any
gambling to speak off. Last year a
few houses opened tentatively. AS
their proprietors were not. discouraged,
plans were made for the racing month
of this year commensurate with the
dimensions and affiuence of the crowds
that were expected to gather and did
gather for after the war relaxation.
Serpent Was Not smitten.
The city uthorities-Saratoga is a
city now-talked somewhat of shifting
the serpent wherever it reared its
head, but thus far have contented
themselves with raiding two small
rooms in midtown. In each case a
roulette wheel was seized, but un-
fortunately no one was discovered at
play. and when the accused were hailed
before a magistrate the evidence was
found to be sadly defective in that 1t
did not include the little ball without
which the wheel is but wheel.
The magistrate ruled that this did
not constitute complete gambling
paraphernalia under the law. Where
upon the reputed owners of the wheels
solemnly started replevin proceedings
to recover their property. The magts-
trate assigned one OF the wheels to
the custody of the District Attorney;
the other replevin case is to be ar
gued on September 2.
THE SUN man had a talk with the
District Attorney, Charles B. Andrus
who is a Republican and a friend OF
ex-senator George H. Whitney, the
latter's control of the party political
organization being disputed by the
faction long headed by that rare Ole
Methodist ex-senator Edgar T. Brack.
EFT. Mr.. Andrus said frankly thai
there was Situation" not at all Il
his liking. The gist of his explanation
of its existence was, first, that public
sentiment seemed not averse to gam.
bling provided 1t was quietly managed
and did not ensnare the townspeople;
second, that 1t was the duty OF the
! Commissioner of Public Safety anC
the Sheriff to make arrests and gather
evidence, while that of the Distric
Attorney was to prosecute.
Mr.. Andrus believed, he said, tina
half OF the people Of Saratoga playeC

that baccarat was not unknown to the
residents OF the happy valley. He
feared that the public did not mind at
all the existence of "one or two good
places" outside the city limits. But
II the reports that had come to him
were true there were gambling rooms
inside the town as well, and in some
of these play was not restricted to
outsiders, or to those who could af-
ford to take a chance.
Another Saratogan said that condi-
tons reminded him of a dear old lady
Of puritanic temper who always had
lamented the presence of the race
track and hoped that something would
be done TO lift the curse from the
town. But when racing was stopped
because of the passage of the anti
betting law the old lady, after pausing
for thought, remarked that Gov.
Hughes had gone entirely too far.
"The fact was" said the narrator,
that she owned a house which had
been rented to a racetrack man for
5000 for the month OF August. Her
house was now empty. 1t was only
human for her to feel, when the pass
ing OF racing affected her personally
In so considerable way, that the
Governor had gone too far. II every
gambling house were closed it would
be q good thing for the home folks,
but the opportunities for gaming
bring to Saratoga money which
would not be here otherwise, and 1
fancy that IL the thing really were
stamped out there would be quite a
boiler In our fair town. Although
heaven knows that in the long run the
attractiveness of Saratoga as a water
ing place is impaired by what is going
on to-day"
Getaway Week.
One writes in the present tense of
the retreats where Saratoga appeases
its appetite for gambling, but the past
would probably be more appropriate.
They were lively places through the
month Of August; they were lively
| through the past week, getaway
week" OF the racing season, when, fic-
| tionally speaking. long shots were
! supposed to win with pleasing regu-
! larity and the losers on earlier races
regained their bankrolls and an extra
wad. They may be closed to-day, for
the splendid, gilded month is ended
and the racing crowd, having gone or
being in the process of going, Sara
tosa is left to the natives, to the tour
list and to the health seeker who
steals in to drink the waters and rest
in the shade without being annoyed
by loud sounds and garish display.

A card from a friend OF the house

up to a fortnight ago, when there was
scare, following which each recon-
mendation was verified by telephone
before request for entrance was hon
Ored. The men who run the house
have an Incorporated club, and the
formalities of membership are com
piled with by each person who gets In.
A gambler whose name often has APP
peared in the New York newspapers is
supposed to be the genius Of the place
and does not deny 1t.
He is one of those men who regard
gambling as a serious profession and
care little what is said Of them so long
as the squareness of their game is not
attacked. There is no regular restau-
rant, but at any time in the evening
a delicious repast is served to players
who wish it. In this respect the in
stitution is much like tho Supper
clubs" of New York which the District
Attorney gets after once in a while.
The games are roulette and faro. In
two rooms adjoining the dining room
are four single and one double wheels
and several faro layouts. The average
number of persons gathered there of
an evening-the fun is highest a little
after IL o'clock-is about eighty. a
dozen of these may be women. They

suave gentlemen have tried TO initiate
his methods, but they are only
gamblers after ell. Consider also the
situation OF Canfield's famous red brick
clubhouse, reposing in magnificent ease
under a bower OF elms. not much more
than a stones throw from the largest
hotel in the centre of the town. Con-
slider not only its accessibility, but its
open doors. Any presentable person in
evening clothes was admitted without
question, except the natives" who
were forbidden by Garfield and his pre-
deceSsor, Morrissey. as a precaution
against unwelcome complications.
Canfield's, moreover, set a surpass-
ing table. Many persons went to his
mansion to dine who would never
think of proceeding after dinner into
the great adjoining room where
roulette wheels purred and white faced,
deft fingered faro dealers distributed
the cards. The dining room alone rep
resented an outlay OF 100000 and
was so fashioned that the diners could
look right into the gambling salon.
At intervals for many years groups
of Saratogans started reform waves
Which never mounted very high and
invariably were dissipated in harmless
spray when they struct Canfield's.
The diplomatic Sir Richard always
was able to convince the villagers
who depended upon the summer Wis
itors that the stranger within the
| gates should be permitted to beguile
| himself with such recreation as he
| craved.
Endured Gambling.
Therefore Saratoga endured longer
than any other place in the East
where public gaming was tolerated
1t is suspected that the impulse which
led the town TO order Garfield to end
the play in 1909 came from Albany
rather than from Saratoga, Charles
f. Hughes being the Governor. For
two years Garfield kept his restaurant
going, then in 1911 sold his clubhouse
and its contents and the grounds to
the village for the comparatively
paltry sum Of $4,000. So now II is
all a part of Congress Park. Can

in the salon. slghtseers with guide
