LONDON, Oct. 22. The Greek
government has Informed the quad

see its way clear to accept the pro
posals, Including cession of Cyprus
and other concessions offered in re
turn for Greek military co-operation
with Serbia.
While Greece's refusal of the of

is concerned it is felt by London
commentators that a material
strengthening of the entente allied
contlnaenta t Saionlki would have a
very material influence upon the at

It also is believed by observers
here that Greece cannot perBiBt in its
present ambiguous position and that
public opinion which is generally
understood to favor the entente allies
probably will exercise its influence.

penter of the United States district court
restraining officials of tho Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway company from
refusing to accept and deliver ' consign
ments of liquor to points In Iowa and to
agents of the consignees on the written
order of the latter.
A plea agaliiftt making the Injunction
permanent was made yesterday by C. A.,
Robblns, asMstant .attorney general of
Iowa, on the ground that the court order
compels the railroad officials to violate
the law of the state of Iowa, wnicn
directs that liquor consignments must be
received by the consignees In person.
The order of the court provides that the
consignees must designate tne arayman
or' other cnrrlor who Is to receive the
liquor' and that the. shipment must be
marked for personal use and private con
sumption. The order also sets forth that
thm rn"J f"i'' lb' state ot Jiwa was

ACES BACK TO BACK
CAUSE OFHIS DEATH
Onoe Too Often Did S. E. Brodkey
Have the Big Card in the Hole
Friends Get Suspicious.
TRY TO GET BACK LOSSES
Upon aces, buck to bark. Is laid the
blame for tho suirido of S. K. Hrod
key, well known pawnbroker of Four
teenth and Douglas streets.
Once too often in various
"friendly" card games did Ilrodkey
get an ace up and an are in tho holo.
He tripped himself up, finally, and
the dilemma in which he found him
self led to his self-destruction.
This la in substance th story that Is
circulating among his friends and ac
quaintances nnd stlrrlnu to us very
depths the circle of Jewish folk in which
he associated.
According to accounts which arc amply
verified, a llttlo group of men, or whom
Brodkey was one, had been in the habit
of visiting around at each other's homes,
particularly on Sunday evenings when
free from business cares, and enjoyed
little auppera, after whlrh the tablo would
be cleared to make room for cards. The
game was poker and the spre 1 of the
playing could bo imagined from the limit,
which was ordinarily II, and Ilrodkey
nearly always had to "dig up." The
score for a year or more, t It Is said, loft
hlnie more than a thousand dollars loser.
Then t omes I nnl shnrk.
Then one day not so long ago, a hard
up professional gambler entered his store
to soak a pledgo and the talk acciden
tally drifted to cards. Brodkey lamented
his poor luck nnd complained of his con
stant losses, to which his customer' re
marked that It might not bo so much In
the playing as "In the cards.
,"I can tell you how to' chango yeur ,
luck and show you how to win I"
The professional relumed later with a
few decks runrAnreed to produce thrae-of-a-klnd,
at right- flushes and full houses.
"If you use these you won't have any
more trouble settling at the end of a
game," the professional is said to have
laughingly told the pawnbroker.
The Jest fell In fertile soli.
Brodkey nm Host. j
A week or so later Brodkey was host
at a little dinner ot rlnderbrust.
At the end of the evening his guests
called him phenomenally lucky and de
parted quite a few dollars behind.
The next session took place also at the
Brodkey place,' and several more.
From the "good thing" poker player
who always lost Brodkey developed Into
an invariable winner. Ho always seemed
to know when to "lay down" and when
to "bluff."
One night one of tho company, after
losing considerable, picked up a rack of
cards and stuck them In his pockot.
Then came the blow off.
Brodkey was accused of ringing In a
phoney deck and tho victims demanded
their money back. Brodkey returned
some and explained that he wus "making
Jokes." Then nearly all who had been
playing with him from the start com
menced to worry him and kept It up. To
friends he declared that soino of tho
losers were taking advantage of his po
sition by domandlng more thun they lost,
and he asked thsrn In Intercede and set
him straight again.
Want All Bark.
The losers, however, insisted upon their
demands In full, and even went so far as
to engage a lawyer to commence prose
cution. "They're trying to bankrupt me," Ilrdd
key complained a few hours before he
swallowed the poison draught.
The exposure of the marked cards came
a few weeks ago. Bitice then Brodkey
had been persistently sought after by
his former card table playmates. The
story leaked out and the suicide was tho
culmination.
Though forced to admit the use of
marked cards, Brodkey at all times In
sisted that by their use he had got back
only about half what he formerly lost
while playing with men who knew the
gome better than himself.
