BOUND FOR TONOPAH
Portland Gamblers Leave For
New Milling Camp
NO GAMES IN PORTLAND
Peter Grant and Hrvey Dale Will
Open Up a Large Gambling House
in Tonopah, Where There Are nc
Restrictions and No Sheriff Word.
t'ortland, March 14. Down at tho
mines at Tonopah, New, Peter Grant
and Harvey Dale, proprietors of th
once great Portland club, hope to re
ceive the money that they lost through
recent months of idleness and to estab
lish a gambling resort on a more stu
pendous scale than was the huge re.
sort at Fifth and Alder streets, thls
city.
Grant and Dale will leave the city
tonight for the mining camp. Con
vinced that open gambling tn Pmtland
Is over, Grant and Dale have decided
to continue their occupations i.-i a
place that has no Sheriff Word. Such
a place, they declare, Is Tonopah. th?
mining camp that has set the world to
talking by the marvelous wealth that
has been discovered there.
Already various games have followed
In the wake of sudden wealtn. and the
mining camp has many resorts where
the click of wheels Is everlasting and
the rattle of chips is an unceasing mel
ody. But, It is said, there is no plnct
where all-games are conducted in one
club, where the richest or most reck
less gambler may find every device
that has been contrived to separate
him from his money.
It is for the purpose of establl?hini
a palatial resort where all ganvs nm
run continually, and where gambling
Is raised above the level of th "buik
room poker game," that Grant and
Dale have selected Tenopah as their
Canaan. It is a land of spenders
numerous.
The decision of Grant and Dale to I
leave Portland is believed to indicate
that well-informed gamblers have
reached the -conclusion that public
gambling Is forever dead In Portland.
Nate Solomon, the third proprietor of
the Portland club, wil remain here
temporarily, at least to look after th.
interests of his partners while the.y
are away. Grant, Dale and Solomon
have extensive interests in this city
In diversified lines, and all their busi
ness will be transacted by Solomon.
"Dale and myself leave tonight," said
Grant today. "We go to Tonopah, Xev.,
where we will establish a gambling
house that will combine all games into
one club. I think there is no such
place in the camp at the present time,
and it offers a great opportunity.
"Solomon will look after our busi
ness while we are away. I cannot
say how long we will be gone, but the
change Is permanent though, of
course, we will retain our Interests In
this city."
Senator Wood from the i'ity.
T!t supiMue court's decision hii
simplified the situation by eliminating
the proposition to seat Lieutenant Gov
ernor Jesse 'M. McDonald as governor.
There Is now before the Joint assem
bly a clearcut Issue between Governor
Aditma and Oontestor Peabody,
rvubody's supporters have endeav
ored to mak his contest a political
issue. but at l-t one-third of the U
republican members of the general as
sembly have refused to be bound by
any action on the question In caucjjs.
Twenty-two republicans were united
in favor of Senator Morton Alexander's
report deoiarlng vacancy, which the
supreme court has decided cannot b
legally adopted. Should five of these
now fall In line with the other 44 re
publicans for Peabody ;v would have
.n majority of the Joint convention.
which consists of ? numbers, and
would be declared elected.
On the other hand. Governor Adams
requires the , votes of IS republicans
In addition to the 31 democratic Votv
to give hint a majority on joint ballot.

Men Resume Work at Reduced Rate
of Wages.
New York. March 14. The traffic
conditions on the elevated railroads
and subway today were slightly Im
proved over those of yesterday. No
more trains were run, but a little bet
ter speed was maintained.
All the employes of the lnterborough
company who went on strike and whose
wages had been previously advanced
because of the length of their service,
secured re-employment only at the
sacrifice of whatever advance In wages
they had obtained. Experienced motor
men were reduced from 13.50 to $3 a
day. V,atemen. from J1.53 to $1.40;
guards, from $1.90 to $1.53. and con
ductors from $2.40 to $.U0. So crushed
was the strike spirit that the men ac
cepted the reductions without protest.
CANAL COMMISSION.

'Commission,
Washington. March 14 Huns have
been practlculty perfected for a coin-
jplete reorganisation of the) working
force of the Panama canal commission,
i
Involving charges from top to bottom.
'and these probably will be announced
In the course of a week. The changes
will be In line with the president's de-
!c lured purpose to dispense with un
necessary officials of high grade and to
'confer upon the actual workers u;ioh
the canal project a much larger meas
ure of authority than they now enjoy.

14. Major A. St. Hill Gibbons. th
African explorer, and his colleagues of
the Zionist commission left here toda
for Trieste after an inspection of the
territory in East Africa offered by
Great Britain for Jewish colonization.

cultural prospects. It was In sup
port of the Jewish colonization project
that Israel Zangwlll went to America
recently.

fright at her home In Utkewood, N. J.

lost the match. The first man to go
on was Matt Henderson of t'lilcago,
whom the Turk threw twice In 3: 30
and 8:30. "Grlpman" John J. Rooney

THE PRODIGAL SON.
Blew in $600 and Is in Jail for Forg
ery. Portland, March 14. J. B. Mervin,
but one month past 21 years of age,
after spending nearly $800 that he re
ceived from his father's estate since
he became of age, will be given a pre
liminary hearing before Judge Hogue,
at police court, Friday morning, on the
charge of passing two bogus checks,
one for $200 on Ben Selling, and one
for $40 on Fred Fritz. To be a "swell
is the reason he gives for going
through with his 'money at such a rapid
pace.
Since he was captured, about mid
night, by Detectlces Resing and-Carpenter,
he has seen the folly of his
ways. Although he admits his crime,
he feels confident that he will gain his
freedom through tne aid of his mother,
who resides at 41 Esat Seventh street,
north. But the mother will not come
to his rescue. She said this morning:
"The boy should be punished for his
mlsdeads. I have tried to provide foi
him and have done everything that I
could possibly do. He is well educated
and should have known better."

PROF. GARDNER'S OPINION
Gambling Cannot Be Eradicatd From
Modern Life and the Wisest Thing to
Do l to Properly Control It as It Is
Not a Game of Chance.
COLORADO'S GOVERNOR.
Question Will Probably Be Deeited To
Day. Denver, March 14. The general as
sembly again today postponed the de
cision of the contest for the office of
governor. After listening to the read
ing of the supreme court's decision that
the legislature cannot legally declare
a vacancy in the office of governor, the
Joint convention, on motion of a Pea
body republican, took a recess until to
morrow morning. A roll call on the
motion to adjourn resulted 48 to 48, and
Lieutenant Governor McDonald, the
presiding officer, cast the deciding vote
In favor of a recess. The reason given
for taking a recess was the absence of
Philadelphia, March 14. Professor
Herbert Gardiner, lord of the Univer
sity of Columbia, and Professor Wil
liam J. Klrby, of the Catholic univer
sity of America, have, in addresses be-
fAca t Vi. Pnnfpmnnrarv Cluh. fltated
that they could find no reason for say
ing that gambling in itself was wrong.
Both expressed the opinion that gam
bling cannot be eradicated from mod
ern life and that the wisest thing to
do is to properly control It. The dis
cussion was listened to by a distin
guished audience. Professor Klrby,
after admitting the theoretical legiti
macy of gambling, made an appeal for
a course of Instruction in the schools
which might lessen gambling in the
next generation and said that cities
should take up the work of regulating
gambling as an essentially city prob
lem. "Gambling is not simply a game of
chance," said he, "for chance is pre
sent in most business transactions.
Gambling Is not merely the desire for
gain. It Is not merely the means of
excitement. Constitutional gamblers
are the men who desire only gain at
play as a means to enable them to play
again. "It may seem strange for me to say
so as a professor of ethics, but I have
never been able to find a reason that
will permit me to say that gambling
Is wrong. It Is argued that gambling
is wrong because it is a waste. On the
contray there Is no destruction of
weulth In gambling.
"Properly done, gambling Is not a
dissipation, but a recreation.''
