TRADE IN GAMBLING TOOLS
Manufacturer of Craaked fioods Ad
vertise and Sell Them
Openly.
If a manufacturer of dishonest gambling
tools advertises them and sells them, and
withal doe a, thriving trade In them, one
who knows nothing of the subtleties and
technicalities of law would Imagine that
somewhere In the American legal code there
Is a statute under which uch a dealer can
be punished.
Dishonest gambling Is merely a form of
thievery. It I aa much stealing as bur
glary. The burglar enters your home with
a Jimmy and taps you on the head with
the butt of a revolver. If necessary, to re
lieve you of your wealth. The dishonest
gambler entertains you, buys you drinks,
gives you cigars, tells you funny stories,
and between a jok. and an anecdote take
your money. The difference between a
burglar and a dishonest gambler Is the dif
ference between a mechanic and an artist.
The law punishes them both as thieves, but
It punishes the burglar more severely. The
law, you see, Is something of a connols
suer. It - appreciates art.
But since the law recognizes dishonest
gambling as a felony, It would seem logical
that the law should hold In the same es
teem the manufacture and sale of tools
that make the felony facile It not possible.
For year there have been firms engaged
In the business of manufacturing and sell
ing dishonest gambling good. These firms
have not been tlmorou little fly-by-nlght
concerns hiding their plants In out-of-the-way
corners and byways of the city. They
have large plants In the heart of the city.
The amount at which they are capitalized
ranges from $20,000 to $50,000. The volume
of business done by all of them Is estimated
at $540,000 annually. The business of one
firm alone Is said to reach close to $200,000
a year.
These firms make no pretense at conceal
ment. They are frankly In the business of
manufacturing and selling loaded dice,
marked cards, :oker hold-outs, cold-deck
machines, fixed roulette wheels, crooked
faro boxes, electrically and mechanically
controlled games of all kinds. They adver
tise their good like any other business
concerns. They are set forth In glowing
detail the excellencies of tjelr wares In
circulars which ar. sent through tha malls
broadcast over th. country to prospective
customers.
The circulars Issued by these firms are
curiosities to the uninitiated. They de
scribe the devices and how to operate them.
If they advertised burglar' tools and gav
careful Instruction how to Jimmy a front
door and dynamite a aaf they could hardly
ba mora Interestingly revealing. With
one device you ar. told you may rob a
card player by merely taking a deep
breath or crooking your knee. With an
other you are Informed you may teal
poker checks artistically wltb th. open
hand.
A circular which may be taken as a fair
sample of the literature of these unique
businesses Is full of delicious revelation.
In a foreword, "To Our Patrona," this In

THEIR NAMES ON THE CABS

There Is something new on the Erie rail
road. It Is the Order of the Bed Ppot.
which has nothing to do with the ace of
hearts or the ace of diamonds. It haa only
one member bo far.
In th. last few days commuters have
stared hard at an object In the Jersey City
yards before they could believe they really
saw a spick-and-span locomotive, with
brasswork so brilliant that It seemed to
flash heliograph signals. Leaning out of
th. cab was Harvey Sprlngstead, of Suf
fern, N. T...one of the Erie's veteran en
gineers. On the side of th. cab was his
nam. In gold letter and on tha front nf
the boiler the .locomotive number showed
gainst a background of bright red.
To learn tha cause of such Kolnmonllk
glory amid th wheezing, coughing, ash
dropplng, gray relics of bygon. day which
surrounded It, a report.r for th. World
called yesterday at the Superintendent s
office in Jersey City. There the mysterv
was explained. The Erie bas Just started
the plan of honoring those engineers who
keep th.lr locomotive In th best possible
condition. Th. mark of th company's ap
proval will be the placing of th. engineer s
name In gold letters on th. sides of th.
cab. Springstead Is the first man to be so
distinguished. Th number of the honor
men' locomotive will be backed with reii
Instead of black a heretofore.
Only the engineer who are miracle work
er like Springstead will get membership
In the Order of the Hed Piot. It will m
be th. drivers' fault If they fall to pam
admission. It will be because, as one pe
slmlstlc engineer said: "What's the ii-h
of shining Junk like that?" New Toik
