ROULETTE RAID.
NETS CURI0S

NEW YORK. July 14.-Those Of
gambling bent-those who like to
hear the little ball click and see
the wheel spin-those who like to
propeI the galloping dominoes-
were saved thousands of dollars
yesterday.
The headquarters of crooked
gambling devices, which is said to
supply clubs" in all parts Of the
country was raided, Frank Tobie
and a maze of bewildering para
phernalia was seized.
Tobie's job, according to the
police. is to give 'phoney' gamb-
ling devices the look OF perfect
honesty.
In each of the "honest'' roulette
wheels seized. there were batteries
and magnets so that the operator
unseen by the sucker guides the
little bah so as to make it fan into
any slot the operator wants.

ARCADIA T | R I
Loss $4,000

A check made today by John s.
Rlick. president of the Arcadia Mar.
ket Company, Fourteenth st. and
Park Rd. n. W., revealed that the
damage done by fire there late
yesterday was much less than the
conditions at first indicated. Dam
age will probably run between $t0,.
900 and $4,000, he said, and bust
ness is being transacted as usual
The fire was started by an actylene
Atorch igniting the cork walls of the
old refrigerating plant, which is
being destroyed to make way for a
new addition to the building. 1t was
discovered about 4:30 p. m. by Earl
Richardson, superintendent OF the
cold storage plant.
The first alarm brought out four
engines and two truck companies.
The second alarm was turned in by
Battalion Chief Edward O'Connor as
soon as he reached the scene.
The efforts of firemen were
greatly hampered by street ex.
cavation and the machinery used
for the work. One large machine
was directly in their path and it
was necessary to span it with lad.
ders Chief George s. Watson ar
rived on the second alarm and
directed the work.
Most of the damage was done
by smoke and water. The PIGGY
Wiggly store suffered the greatest
loss. Damage was set at 1000
by the manager, Floyd Brown.
Practically everything perishable in
the store was destroyed. A fire.
man was slightly injured when he
fell from ladder but he rtmained
on duty.

well be named in memory of the

Selling" an Endowment.

Promoters of the Bryan Memorial
University, to be erected in Dayton,
Tenn. in honor of the great lay funda-
mentalist, who devoted the last hours
of his life to the trial of teacher on
a charge of giving instruction in eVo-
luton contrary to the law of the
state, are about 10 open drive in
New York City for $400, 900 as part
Of the $1,000 900 building fund and
! endowment for that institution. The
director OF the drive has announced
that Is men and women are to be
engaged to call on the friends OF Mr..
Bryan and ask them to buy member
ship certificates at 500 each. Sue-
gestion having been advanced that
these solicitors are to receive a com
mission on all cash that they secure,
the drive director has denied that they
/ will work on this basis, explaining
/ that they will be paid "a salary based
on what they do" This is the prop
osition: A certain salary will be
fixed for each worker; if he does not
bring in the number of certificates
agreed upon that salary will not be
given him; he will be given less.
The precise difference there is be
tween a commission and a downward
sliding scale contingent upon the
number of subscriptions secured and
the amount OF money obtained is OF
little moment. The point that in
terests the public chiefly Ia that thi.
solicitation, as In many other cases Of
fund raising by means of drives ant
campaigns, is to be on a strictly bust

A Jersey Blue Law Absurdity

On the statute books of the State of
New Jersey are certain laws, dating
back TO early DAYS when Sunday
amusements were under the ban of
public disapproval. These laws are
now in effect nullified by the prevalent
public sentiment in favor of entertain
ments on all the days Of the week.
Efforts to enforce them recently failed,
for lack of support and consequently
the showhouses are kept open on Sun.
day, large audiences assemble for pic
ture and stage shows, and to all in.
tents and purposes the statutes are
repealed, save for the formal act Of
the Legislature.
But yesterday at Bayonne, \. j., an
incident occurred, fortunately not
very grave in consequences, which IL

blue laws on the books while they are
being ignored without penalty. A mo-
ton picture house was filed AT an aft

story of fire companys adventures
and that the ceiling fell in conse
ouence of the rush for the doors
which the outcry melted. Whatever
the sequence of events, the stampede
began. and but for the timely arriva
of police and firemen, and for the for
tunate fact that the exits were ample

enacted at Montreal would have oc

Just here is where the blue Law
comes into the case. Owing to the re
cent agitation of the fact that thu
antique statute is still on the books
somebody in authority in Bayonne de
cided that it was not proper to station
8 fireman at any theater at which
sunday show was given, lest his pres
