card suits.
One day the doctor met Jones on
the street and suggested giving Smith
a real thrill. His idea was to stack
deck so that Smith would receive a
13-card suit. The plan was based on
the following well-known fact: If a
deck is arranged so that the cards
run spade, heart, diamond club, spade,
heart, diamond, club, etc., 1t may be
cut any number OF times and never
theless, when dealt, will produce a
13-card suit for each Of the four
players. OF course, there is no telling
which player will receive which suit,
but that did not really matter, as the
other players were going to let Smith
bid his grand slam uncontested and
concede it to him.
N OLD deck of cards which had
been used in one of their former
games was secured and arranged
properly. At 1890 in the evening
Smith was called to the phone, and
while he was gone the cold deck SUBJ
stituted. He returned to the playing
room, cut the cards, and the hands
were dealt. Smith picked up his
hand, opened it, stared at it second,
then wild glitter came into his eyes.
and he fell forward on the table, dead
of heart failure.

the reporter who has a job,
went to see about this Writers
= Project of the w. P. A., or the
boondoggling business. 1t must be
mighty funny, he thought, that men
who knew the newspaper game would
be up there writing for the "overset,"
which is the term We use for the stuff
that doesn't get into the paper. There
must be a lot Of characters up there
because. goodness knows, our business
furnishes a lot Of characters-and
presumably they were well repre-
scented in the w. P. A. writer's boom
doggling.
Well, sir. there are characters up
there-characters who laugh and say:
when Ned Mclean was a publisher
we never were invited to his house.
But now We are here"
It's Ned McLean's house they are
in. But they are mistaken about his

Many's the time Ned Mclean, having
some reporter tell him about a good
story, would say: That's fine. what
will you have?" And there was the
time when George Harvey came to the
Post as 1.-The" editor and all the re-
porters were invited out to the Nc
Lean house to midnight supper to
meet him, and George told about now
the Post was to be another London
Times-and all the reporters ap-
plauded because they thought a paper
Of that kind would be a splendid pa
per upon which to work. But George
only lasted q year and some of the
reporters did not last that long.
He Interviewed the Gear.
But there are some of the funniest
characters up there now at Ned's
mansion at Fifteenth and K. For
example, there is the fellow who went
down with the old New York World.
He is interesting if you don't get to
thinking about things too much. He
interviewed the Gear. He covered wars
in Europe. If there ever was a man
who was a confidante of big men" it
was he.
Well, he's 70 years old and he is

IRWIN TO CONTEST
U. S. WORKER JURY
Man Convicted on Gambling
Charge Denies Right to
Decide Cases.

Morris E. (Dutch) Irwin Is pre-
pared to attack the right of Gov
eminent employees to serve on criminal
juries in an effort to escape the two
to-six-year prison term imposed on
him in District Supreme Court Fri
day for violating the gambling laws.
Irwin, described as one of the citys
leading gamblers, had never been con-
victed until last week, when a jury
found him and six associates guilty
on gaming charges.
The others sentenced were: Edward
J. Gibson. two to four years; Leonard
F. Hill, one to two years; Frank e.
Crandall. four months to a year and
a day: Wilbur S. Carroll, one year to
IS months, and James Mcintyre and
Morris A. Malone. four months to
four months and a day. The latter.
it was explained, was the lowest in
determinate sentence that could be
given.
Attorney Charles E. Ford asked that
could secure ruling from the Court
Of Appeals on the right Of Govern
ment employees to serve on the jury,
but this request was refused by Justice
r. Dickinson Let's.
The men were arrested October %
in raid at 1921 Fourteenth street.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant
