atelnr tha gambler with the mysteri-

with the baseball scandal. Is a typ
; leal of Nw York aa any m other
. feature of the city.
w ,;A5 Xar backtjt time as the memory
ol any -llvini rman reaches there has
always been an uncrowned king of the
New York underworld, minus' any affV-
elai legitimacy of power, but reigning
, from an invisible throne of influence
with a -degree of control that, within
ft limits, rivals the might held by
absolute monarch! of old. .
HE IS ALWAYS THERK .
Always somewherain thj dim. morally
mlasmlc shadows of that world of half
Crime and half sDort: that oaraiiitlcal
world of good fellows, wise guys, wolves
unc leeches that has its being as an un
clean, feverish foreign growth feeding
on the healthy body of- the normal
, world, there has been a mysterious fig
ure, a King,- a "master mind,", an indl
vMuat of some sort who held In his
hands a selection of guiding reins that
radiated outwards and upwards from the
shadowy regions of bts kingdom to this
and that and the other point of aun-
, . posed municipal control and on up; to
the highest centers of official power.
' No one man, with the will to tell or
'' write his knowledge, has ever known
alt the ramifications of the mysterious
. power of any of the many kings of the
New. York underworld sufficiently well
to explain in detail the mysteries of the
application, or. that power. It is known
to exist. Intricate fragments of Its hu
man communication system have been
discovered and exposed. Developments
- In the Becker case led to a fragmentary
reveiauon.
SCANDALS 600X FOBGOTTETff
Occasionally the murder of some gam
bler or a partial confession resulting
from a feud between the retainers of
the underworld court brings the exist
ence of the mysterious parasitical mon
archy of which (amine n4 theft are
the principal sources of revenue, 'to tne
amaaed and temporary attention of the
normal citizens of the normal New York
world of work and. play.: These citlsens
marvel and speculate and suspect and
forget and the reign "of the mystenoua
uncrowned jking from bis Intangible
throne goes on. :
'Associates! of Bothsteln have repeat
edly, and boldly asserted that he could
fix anything for them. One of his asso
ciates was Involved In a white slave
case: The girl witness suffered a strange
lapse of memory when put on the stand
and the associate went. free. There are
numerous other instances of . the ap
parent power of the man " to somehow
Insure Immunity to those who serve him.
rOBTf SE 18 AMASSED i '
For 15 years Rothsteln has run gam
bling houses at Long Island, Saratoga
and In New York city He bas never
been convicted of being a gambler. He
is 85 years old, born In this city, the
son of a shirt manufacturer, and is re
puted to have amassed a fortune of be-
bveen 13,000,000 and $4,000,000.
How does he get ttay with it? Per
haps some one knows in detail. Per
haps tne story may some, aay do toia
in detail on a with ess stand. K is im
probable In the light of past history
concerning men of bis type and stand
ing In New York. Uut whether it is
known or not, whether Rothsteln con
tlnues his reign Indefinitely or is soon
deposed,- New York will continue to b
New York and some uncrowned "king
will rule as always, from the mys
terious throne that has always existed
in the musty regions of which no man
of the daylight, work-a-day world knows
more than he can guess. It Is the way
of. New York.
