Gambling Craze Gets a Jolt
by New Laws in Bay City
Slot Machines to Come Under Ban, and Racing Is Already in IMre Straits.
Gas Investigation and Politics Make Gossip.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., March 27.
(Special.) The California Legisla
ture is after the slot machines. A bill
hs already parsed the Uoue of Repre
sentatives orohibitlng the use of slot
machines for gambling or betting, and. is
o stringent that it makes it a misde
meanor for a person or firm to buy, sell
or have In possession a slot machine.
The slot-machine craze has reached the
acute stage in San Francisco. It is no
longer a question of winning cigars, but
gambling proposition out and out. In
fact, there are hundreds of so-called ci
gar stores scattered over the city where
but a few of the poorest makes of cigars
are kept, and the winnings paid in coin.
On these machines, there are paid
what are known as "specials.11 For cer
tain high hands, the winners are paid
o many cigars in tvade. These cigars
are represented by checks, and there is
always an accommodating person just
within reach who is willing to buy the
checks back for cash. This man. of
course, represents the cigar merchant,
but takes his station outside the counter.
my that, legally, he is acting within the
law.
Many of the cigar man keep eight and
ten machines going day and night, so
Wrong is the desire to keep on gambling.
Th police have tried to cope with the
vU. but have been unable to accomplish
anything as yet, and a new law Is needed
that -will give them some authority.
In fact, all sorts of gambling seems to
be a craze with the average San Fran
ciscan. Every cigar store is. as well, a
place where you can make a bet on the
races. Any contribution, from 25 cents
up. w-ill be accepted by the cigar-store
poolrooms. The racetrack, naturally, has
been againp f this thing, but they haven't
ben able to stamp it out. A clerk or
sny man who wants to make a bet on
the races and simply can't get away to
go to the track, telephones his cigar
i"tore or walks Into the place and says
that he wants to place 50 cents or tl
as the case may be. on a certain horse.
That's all there is to it. The poolroom
agent makes a record of the bet. but ni
paper Is passed between the player and
the bet taker. If the horse wins, he
comes back and gets his monpv. This,
of course, is not a new custom in the
city, but one that is to be drplnred. It
has educated all sorts of people to the
betting habit. Even women are fiends
on racetrack gambling, through the me
dium of the cigar stand, and no one
knows Just how much money is wagered
every day the racetrack is open at
Emeryville-.
The latest gambling story is to the ef
fect that a systematic effort to organize
the gambling interests in Chinatown is
being made by two wealthy Chinese,
who propose to operate a string of
gambling houses and lottery games in
this city. Secret meetings have been
held and the promoters of the syndicate
are endeavoring to secure from the local
gamblers an initial subscription of JS5.(KW
with which they propose to secure per
mission to operate their games on a large
scale.
The toiling gas meter i-just now the
subject of a rigid investigation by the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors. The
trouble started as far back as January,
when the gas bills commenced to run
enormously high. AU over the city there
were complaints that the bills had dou
bled. The public declared that while it
had protested to the Gas Company, the
only reply was a threat to remove the
meters, if there were more protests. Con
sequently, the daily newspapers, appre
ciating that it would be a popular cause,
started booming the cry for investiga
tion. The matter came before the Su
pervisors, and the demands were so in
sistent that the two experts, under the
pay of the city, have been delegated to
look for the cause. It is promised that
there will be some relief for the users
of gas In San Francisco, and in the
meantime. the residents are holding
tight and doing the best thev can.
The Gamma Kta Kappa, a high school
fraternity, which has chapters in practi
cally all of the high schools along the
Pacific Coast, thinks it has found a way
to get around the law passed by the
Legislature abolishing secret societies in
California high schools. The graduates of
the high schools will be the active mem
bers of the fraternity. The boys In the
schools will simply be pledged to their
fraternity and initiated upon graduation
or leaving the school for good. In this
way the fraternity will be a graduate or
ganization in a way. bnt It will not have
to disband; as seemed likely after the law
makers took matters into their own
hands. It is quite possible that the other
fraternities and sororities in the state, of
which there, are quite a number, will fol
low the same course.
Chinatown, or at least part of China
town, is- In uniform. Included In this list
are the juvenile members of the Oriental
part of San Francisco. So far there are
exactly 164 of these uniformed young Chi
namen, and the occasion of the outilt is
due to- thcir enrollment as pupils in the
Imperial Chinese public school, an insti
tution for the Instruction of Chinese,
which has been opened in Stockton street.
The school is under the supervision of
the Consul-Genera 1 and the Six Compa
nies, and as it was established with Chi
nese money and will be maintained in
the same way. it was thought appropri
ate to have some distinguishing feature
about the Institution. The Imperial Chi
nese school was organized at the time
of the first trouble with the Japanese
over - school matters. The Chinese at
once decided that they would prefer their
own school to that of the whites, and
promptly collected their money for that
purpose. English and all the branches
that are taught in the public schools of
this country are taught to the young
Chinamen.

Another Cozy Bungalow With an
Exceptionally Good Floor Arrangement
By H. A. Eymann. Loj Antfelea, Cal.
THERH are many small families that
require only a few rooms . in the
home, but desire these 'rooms to "be
of good, size and to such,, the house here '
illustrated will appeal. .
A sixroom nouse such as this is not
frequently met, as usually In planning a
small house the rooms, for reasons of
economy are also made small. The bun
galow here illustrated is not an expensive
one, considering that it stands about 32
feet by 60 feet on the ground and has a
living room 17 feet by 20 feet; a dining
room IS feet square, large bedroom, a
cozy den with seat and built-in book
cases, six cloteots, not including the kitch
en and dining-room closets" and cupboards.
- As here shown, the house is constructed
almost entirely of wjood and should cost
complete about J2000. It has been built
with broken stone porch front and chim
ney, hardwood floors, etc., for ?2S0O.
Among Its many taking features are the
old-fashioned china closets in the dining
room on either side of a wide double win
dow with seat and locker: the lavatory
and coat closet, opening between the den
and the front bedroom; the very complete
and convenient cabinet kitchen; the bath
room opening from both bedrooms and
hall; two linen closets, one in the bath
room and one at the end of the hall, etc.
The living room has beamed ceiling and"
broad mantel and fireplace: the dining
room has high paneled wainscot w-ith
plate-ahelf, etc.
It would be difficult indeed to arrange
five or six rooms more conveniently, and
this house will prove most attractive in
side and outside. The inside plaster has
a rough carpet-float finish and is tinted
in various shades except the walls below
the chair rail in kitchen and bathroom,
which are smooth white, enameled and
ruled off to imitate tiles.
The house from which the illustration
was made was stained a dark red with
very dark brown trimming and a dark
green shingle roof.
For the benefit of its readers. The Ore
gonlan has arranged that any inquiries or
correspondence relating to bungalow
Even wich attorneys engaged to
break the Baldwin will, the probability
is that no contest will take place; not
at least between the widow and daugh
ters. Illegitimate children may come
to the front to plunge the estate Into
litigation, but the heirs to whom the
bulk of the estate was bequeathed are
not disposed to engage In a contest
with the widow, partially because it
would tangle up the property for sev
eral years and also because they be
lieve the widow is entitled to consid- j
eration.
The will as far as the widow is con
cerned. Is regarded by men wh6 were
well acquainted with the deceased as
a sardonic jest. For. say they, he must
have known that Mrs. Baldwin would
not accept a small legacy, and it must
have been his desire to figure In post
mortem litigation. Baldwin had a very
keen appetite for the law. He hated
to pay a bill without a fight in court.
Ho resisted claims that he knew to
be just, and -when asked once why he
did so. replied that lie couldn't be
sure he owed money until the court ren
dered Judgment. Once upon a time he
borrowed money from his lawyer to
pay a Judgment, and then the lawyer
had to sue him to recover the bor
rowed coin.
'
The Democrats bid fair to have an
amusing if not a red-hot campaign
among themselves this- year. Harry
Flannery, a saloonman, by the way,
who defeated Frank J. Sullivan for the
nomination of Presidential Elector, and
subsequently led Jimmy Phelan in the
vote for that ticket in San FranciBoo,
is out to get Gavin McNab's scalp as
Bourbon boss in this neck of the woods."
Flannery is reported to have planned
a campaign that will involve the ex
penditure of at least $20,000 of his own
good coin. That will mean a complete
organization by districts.
Flannery is acting in concert with
P. H.- McCarthy, the latter desiring the
labor nomination for Mayor again. In
cidentally, he would not object to the
indorsement of the Flannery wing of
Democracy. The new aspirant for boss
ship is quite active in holding confer
ences daily with leading local states
men. He is reported to nave had a
conference with Superior Judge Caba
niss and endeavored to induce the lat
ter to become a candidate for Mayor.
Cabaniss has proved himself a great
vote-getter, but his aspirations run along
judicial lines and he has declined the
somewhat doubtful honor. ,
Flannery has expressed as Ills per
sonal -opinion that Dr. Leland, the
present Coroner, is too light timber for
the Mayoralty, and has gone in search
of someone else. In fact. Flannery
is reported to be negotiating with his
once political adversary. Frank J. Sul
livan, and may induce him to serve.- If
so. the pair can be fepended upon to
give Phelan and Rudolph Spreckels a
hard fight. Sullivan is "sore" at Broth-er-lii-Law
Phelan, because he was re
moved as attorney for the Mutual Sav
ings Bank, of- which Phelan is a strong
factor, and consequently he is itching
for a fight.
In certain circles there is consider
able glee expressed over the fact that
while Roosevelt has gone his way, Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California, has been cast
in the discard, as far as being an as
sistant to the Executive of the United
States is concerned. It is declared by
those who do not fancy the sometimes
dictatorial stands of Wheeler that for
the last seven years he has come to be
known in Washington as the Third Sen
ator from .California.
It is said that at the White House
he was always consulted privately
in regard to Federal appointments and
policies affecting the Pacific Coast.
Moreover.- so it is alleged, he was a
confidential emissary of Roosevelt in
the politics of California, a sort of
private smelling committee or secret
service agent, to find out things to be
whispered in the President's ear.
Now it is different. His services are
to be dispensed with. His position is
abolished. Therefore the president of
the state university will not be re
quired to run to Washington three or
four times a year to tell the President
of the United States all about it.

PROPORTIONS of ingredients it is
not possible to give an absolutely
exact proportion ol the various in
gredients that will always be true of all
cakes; but there are general principles
to be observed in all cake receipts, and
any one with a knowledge of these gen
eral principles - and "type" cakes can
usually recognize a "type" recipe wen
though disguised in fractional quantities,
and, with a little practice, can distinguish
in print as well as in the mouth, a good
cake from a poor one.
An English editor's wife once made an
amusing confession to me. Her husband
had allowed her to try her hand on the
"Woman's Column." -Asked how she was I
getting on she replied naively. "splendUP
ly. thank you. Tou know I do know how
to dress every one admits that, so I write
mostly about clothes. And, for a change,
when I can't think of anything else, I
write: 'Here in a perfectly delicious cake
which I tasted at Lady So-and-So's the
other day,' and I fling together some su
gar and butter and eggs and flour and
things you do put those Into cake, don't
you? and say 'mix in the usual way, bake
in a moderate oven and decorate with
any pretty frosting." But I'm sorry for
any woman who tries to make those 'de
licious cakes,' for I never made one in
my life and scarcely ever eat cake, any
way, one has to. consider one's hips these
days, l.ut I know there are women who
are always clamoring for new cake re
cipes, so I try to give them what fhey
want. You must admit the novelty and
originality of mine."
She gave me some specimens to read.
They looked plausible enough to the cas
ual eye, though no one but a novice
would have attempted to follow them.
The novice would probably say things
about "bad luck," and give the product
decent burial in the garbage pail, away
from the scornful eyes of her friends and
family. Standard proportions for a few
"type" cakes will be given in a future
lesson. The types tend, of course, to
shade one into another, but in general
the following will be found true of good
recipes tor cakes containing shortening.
Cakes That Take Shortening.
1- Not more butter than one-third the
volume of flour, except in rich pound
cakes, where one-half may be used.
2. From one-half to two-thirds the
volume of flour in sugar; with a general
tendency towards increase of sugar with
diminished butter, until in cakes where
no butter is used, you reach the point of
having equal volumes of flour and sugar,
as in rich sponge and angel cakes. In
dealing with recipes by weight it should
oe remembered that eqoal bulks of gran
ulated (not powdered) sugar and of but
ter weigh about the .same; and that an
equal bulk of sifted flour is about half
the weight of either, as shown bv the
table: -
2 cum solid butter 1 pound.
2 cups granulated sugar l pound.
2 cups OR-Rs 1 pound.
4 cups sifted flour 1 pound..
3. The liquid is usually about half the
volume of flour. Kggs and butter each
being teckoned as having ha if -value as'
"liquid;" since the butter melts in the
oven, and the eggs stiffen. Hence the
"plainer" the cake, as to butter and eggs,
the more milk or water is called for, the
stiffer the batter will be when mixed,
and the more baking powder, or its equi
valent will be required. In the rich old
fashioned "pound cake," where the rula
called for "a pound of everything." no
baking powder at all was used, and no
liquid, except the butter and eggs and
the "wineglassful of brandy" which was
added for flavor and to improve the cake's
keeping properties. As a rule the richer
the '-ake, the more it improves with
keeping and the more difficult it is. in
most families, to keep it, while most of
the plainer types need to be fresh in
some cases almost warm, in order to be
palatable. The student of cake-making
will do well to" make a sort of table of
the recipes she knows, reducing each to
a common base, as, say, "to every -cup
of flour" and noting the relaltve propor
tions of each ingredient and how they
follow the rules laid- down. She should
also note the change of character due
"Garland" Way
to increase of butter or sugar in the tex
ture of the cake.
As regards baking powder, or it s
equivalents, it will be noted that for a
mixture where the proportion of egg to
flour is more than one to every cup (by
measure, as 1:4; by weight, as 1:2) not
more than one level teaspoon of baking
powder should be required, the amount
decreasing until in pound cake (as 1:2
by measure or as 1:1 by weight) the bak
ing powder disappears entirely, or in
creasing, as t'he cake becomes plainer,
until in an egglcss. or almost eggless,
cake, two leved teaspoons of baking
powder will be called for with every cup
of flour. Too much baking powder makes
a coarse-grained, quickly drying cake.
As for baking powder substitutes, a good
rule to remember is the following: (a)
three to four level teaspoons baking pow
der are equal in Ieavenin power to one
level teaspoon soda, with sufficient acid
to neutralize it.
6- One teaspoon soda may be completely
neutralized by two teaspoons cream of
tartar, or one teaspoon tartaric acid, or
two cups sour milk, or one cup molasses.
This is only, of course, approximately,
not absolutely true, since the chemical
changes take place in 'definite proportions
by weight, and we use unscientific meas
urements and ingredients of varying
purity. But it is a good working guide
and enables us to see how and when we
may substitute in a recipe.
Making Ginger-Bread.
Take, for instance, a ginger-break re
cipe calling for one cup molasses and one
cup sour milk to two and one-half cups
flour. It is obvious that one and one-half
teaspoons oda should be about right
for this. Suppose we use water Instead
of sour milk, then we should slightly
scant the measure (since sour milk, like
blood, is thicker than water) and while
using the same amount of soda, we
should Bdd one teaspoon creart of tartar
to take the place of the acid in one cud
sour milk.
Or, if we had no cream -of tartar handy
w-j could nse one teaspoon soda for tli
molasses, and an amount of baking pow
der equivalent to one-half teaspoon soda
plus one teaspoon tream of tartar, i e
from one and one-half to two teaspoons
according to kind and quality of baking
powder.
Or, ngrqn. if we had only half-sour milk.
