Crooked
Cause
Arnold Rothstein 'Welshed'
on Bets at Stud and
Was Shot.
Is®
of Killing
New York.—From some of the boy?
In the know, this story of the big $1,-
000,000 poker game in which Arnold
Rothstein, one of New York's heav-
iest gamblers, dropped some $360,000
and in which was born the enmity
that led to bis shooting, was told re-
cently after bis death.
Its narrators differ somewhat in
their versions of it, but in essential
details all the versions click.
This is the story:
The game was started September 27.
It was six o'clock in the morning two
days later before the last hand was
played. That game lasted 30 hours.
Rothstein was Invited to the session
by George McManus, a gambler friend
who enjoys the reputation among the
brotherhood of being on the up and
up. Rothstein and McManus dropped
around shortly before midnight on
the night of September 27.
Takes an Evening Out.
"Nigger" Raymond, whose real title
Is Nathan Brooks, a boy from the Pa-
cific coast, was there. Raymond, or
Brooks, as you prefer, brought with
him to New York his bride. But he
took time off on this gala occasion for
an evening with the boys.
Meyer Boston, who may or may not
have acquired his name from the Hub,
was another of the players.
That made four around the table.
There were four more.
There was Nick the Greek, the gen-
tleman who dropped $1,600,000 in a
single session two winters ago.
There was Joe Bernstein, a quiet,
modest-mannered chap, also from the
Pacific coast. But, strangely enough,
lie is said not to have been acquainted
personally with "Nigger" Raymond.
And "Titanic1," who came from Chi-
cago clothed in clouds of glory and
with a reputation corresponding to his
name—the only name that most men
knew him by—was present.
Ma^'the Dude Sits In.
Last, there was Max the Dude. His
name explains him, too.
These seven and Rothstein, the
greatest gambler of them all.
They ripped open new packs of
cards. Liquor and cigarettes were
handy for those who indulged. Roth-
stein himself' neither smoked nor
drank. His hobby was gambling and
he allowed nothing to stand in its way.
They started with straight stud
poker—one of the many varieties of
the game, the one that calls for the
quickest action, the highest nerve ten-
sion.
Betting began gently. The standard
bet at first was $100, a "century." But
as the hours moved on it approached
$1,000, a "grand."
As long as he stuck to straight stud,
Rothstein won. In the first few hours
of playing he collected something like
$30,000 from the boys—and in good
negotiable cash.
But some one, possibly Rothstein
himself, started a little side betting to
liven things up a bit He would say,
for instance:
"A thousand I hold a higher spade
than you. Titanic."
8ide Betting Sinks Him.
It was this side betting that sank
Rothstein. But as he lost steadily,
be banded out, not cash, but markers,
mere memoranda on which he scrawled
his signatures in pencil.
There was nothing unusnal about
this. Others there did the same thing,
Markers In the profession are regard-
ed as good, if not better, than certified
checks.
But It led to several strange circum-
stances. Bernstein, for instance, lost
$12,000 In cash to Rothstein, but won
$00,000 In markers.
"Nigger" Raymond came out of the
game with about $90,000 due him In
Rothstein markers.
"Titanic" crashed through with
about $60,000 to the good. Max the
Dude and Meyer Boston trailed with
$35,000 apiece in markers.
After Rothstein had had a couple
of days to think things over, he be-
gan to wonder. He began to wonder
still more when sly little gossip
reached him that he, the great Roth-
stein, had been taken as easily as a
little child.
He heard, for example, that some
of the players at the party had ar-
ranged for a cut with certain rack-
eteers. Why this rumored cut should
have been arranged no one could ex-
plain.
So Rothstein wondered.
Decides Not to Pay.
Now, Rothstein was a proud man.
He was proud, for one thing, of his
reputation. And he knew, with these
little rumors floating around town,
that if he did kick in and pay his
markers in the face of these rumors
he would be the laughing stock of the
town.
So Rothstein made up his mind that
he wouldn't pay.
Previous to the shooting of Roth-
stein there had been attempts at arbi-
tration, but Rothstein was too proud
to arbitrate. There had been negoti-
ations back and forth and the custom-
ary exchange of formalities, but they
led to nothing.

Nurse Loses $200,000
as Wedding Is Halted
Boston.—A fortune of $200,000 lias
slipped from the fingers of Mrs. Eva
Rebecca Walker, comely fifty-eight-
year-old nurse of Brockton, who for
the last twelve months has been In at-
tendance on her Wealthy admirer,
John W. Lufkln, seventy-nine years
old, who has just been declared in-
sane by the Suffolk County Probate
court.
The sum was named In a prenuptial
agreement which was to have been
paid by Lufkin to his nurse following
their marriage. The marriage was
prevented only by last minute court
action on proceedings begun by Miss
Elizabeth A. Lufkln of Squantum,
Lufkln's sister.
Luflvln's Insanity was established
by two alienists appointed by Judge
Dolan. Judge Murray had granted a
waiver of (lie five-day marriage law
to Mrs. Walker so she could marry
the invalid Inventor, whose fortune
is more than $800,000. It was Judge
Murray, however, who rescinded the
waiver only after a dramatic last mil*
ute appeal.
Indian Fighter Seeks
$125 for Shot Horse
Washington.—Back in the time of
the Custer massacre William J.
Bailey, seventy-nine-year old vet-
eran of many skirmishes with the
Indians, hnd a borse shot from under
him.
Today that horse is worth $125
to Bailey, if he can prove it was
killed in battle. From his sick bed
the old campaigner sent out a re-
quest that Deadwood Dick, another
famous character of those stirring
days, come visit him so they can talk
over the old days and determine if
by chance Deadwood Dick saw the
horse after it was killed.
Deadwood Dick Is one of the few
remaining scouts who served under
General Custer when the Dakota
frontier was being pushed westward.
He arrived in Washington to invite
President Coolidge to pass the sum-
mer in the Black hills of South Da-
kota. Deadwood Dick's real name is
Richard Clark.

I. Paul Praying with the Epheoian
Elders (Acts 3U:8fttS8>,
This incident reveals the real spirit
of fellowship which had developed,
between Paul and the elders of the
church at Ephesus. Knowing the seri-
ousness of his mission to Jerusalem
and the probability that he would
[never see them again, he asked these
elders to meet him at Miletus, Hint he
might give them . the proper instruc-
tions so as to enable them to meet
the issues which confronted them. Be-
fore leaving them he knelt down and
prayed with them.
II. Concerning Certain Ones at
Rome (Rom. 16:1-4).
1. i loebe commended to the Chris-
tians at Rome. Phoebe was a Chris-
tian woman from the church at
Cenchrea who was making tji visit to
Rome. Her business is not defined,
but it was pud) that he could ask the
Christians not only to receive her, but
to render to her the proper assistance
therein.
2. He asks that the Christians
greet Prlseilla and Aquila (vv. 3, 4).
The ground upon which this greeting
was urged was their own loyalty tp
himself.
III. Concerning Apaphrodltus (Phil.
2:25-30).
Not being nble to revisit the church
at PhlilppI, Paul sent his friend Apa-
phrodltus to minister to them.
IV. Paul Writes to Philemon.
Philemon was a member of the
church at Colosse. Onesimus, Ills
slave, wronged him; perhaps stole
from him and fled to Rome and there
came under Paul's Inlluence and was
converted. Paul sent Onesimus back
to Philemon with tills letter. «ThIs is
one of the most tender and beautiful
letters ever written and the first anti-
slavery petition ever penned.
1. The salutation (vv. 1-3).
His aim was to touch Philemon's
heart; he, therefore, refers to himself
I as a prisoner and links Philemon to
himself as a fellow-laborer in the
gospel of truth.
2. Philemon's reputation (vv. 4-7).
(1) Ills faith and love toward tha
Lord and all the saints (v. 5).
His earnest desire was that this
faith bear fruit in Christ Jesus.
(2) His ministry to the saints (v.
7). Philemon /enerously ministered
of his substance to the poor saints.
3. Paul's request (vv. 8-16),
He requested Philemon to receive
back Onesimus, the runaway slave,
as a brother In Christ.
(1) Beseeches instead of commands
(vv. 8-10). Though conscious of his
right to enjoin, he pleads as a prison-
er of .Tesus Christ, for love's sake.
(2) ne pleads on the grounds of
grace (vv. 11-14). He admitted that
Onesimus had been unprofitable, had
forfeited nil claim upon Philemon,1
and that on grounds of justice hla
plea might well be rejected, and yet,
because Onesimus was begotten in his
bonds (v. 10), was In n real sense
pnrt of his own suffering nature
(v. 1^), he ventured to suggest that
he shruld be accepted.
(8) Paul desired that Onesimus be
received back, not as a slave, but as
a brother in Christ (vv. 15, 10). Ilere
is the real fugitive slave law. Paul
never attacked slavery, though It was
contrary to Christianity and therefore
hateful to him, but emphasized the
principles which destroyed It. The
wise thing to do Is to get men and
women regenerated and thus trans-'
form society, Instead of seeking
change by revolution. 1
4. The basis upon which Onesimus)
was to be received (vv. 17-21).
The debt of guilty Onesimus to be[
put to the account of Paul and the,
merit of Paul to be put to the account!
of Onesimus. This Is a fine Illustra-
tion of the atonement of Christ. What-
ever wrongs we have committed, debts
incurred—all our shortcomings are
debited to Him. Jesus Christ, on be-
half of the whole universe, said to.
God, "Put that to my account." Onesl-j
mus was taken buck, not as a run-
away slave, but as a beloved brother.
In Chrir1.
5. Paul requests lodging (vv. 22-25).!
He expected a npeedy release from!
Imprisonment nnd purposed to sojourni
with Philemon. What a welcome he
must havp rece!"
Something Reminded'
Her of Her Duty
"Today I am reminded' of a duly
that I iiave neglected, and thai is to
let you know how wonderful have
been the results I obtained from the
use of Milks Emulsion. Nothing could
have been more beneficial to me than
your Emulsion.
"In the winter of 1917 nnd. 15)1 S I
had a severe case of pneumonia, and
in the spring of 1010 I took u cough.
I <was doing some summer, work to-
prepare myself for a college, but by
the time school opened I was too ill
to attend. I finally went to bed for
the rest cure. I gained a little in
strength and got up by Christinas,
but my cough never left me, and I
caught cold very easily and It would
take a month to get over it.
"Finally, In September, 1920, I got
a bottle of Milks Emulsion and wrote'
you for Instructions, to which you re-
plied promptly and for which I thank
you. I followed the Instructions care-
fully and soon my cough began to
disappear. I was able to sleep better
than ever before and my appetite was
fierce. I could not eat enough, r
gained In weight slowly hut surely,,
nut continued the use of Milks Emul-
sion, until I am a well girl today.
"I went through the entire season
without a cold or a cough, and I came-
back Into the society circle and played
all the big affairs without any 111 ef-
fects. About a month ago I neglected
myself and took a dreadful summer
cold and, being at a house party, r
could not care for myself properly.
But as soon as I reached home I flew
In on my old standby, Milks Emulsion,,
and within a week I was well.
"I have recommended It to many
and If at any time I can be of any
help to your company by telling what
It did for me, let me know. Sin-
cerely, MISS KATY WALLER, 401.
