CHIEI; OF POLICE DEVERY HIT HARD All These Gambling Places Are Run Without the Slightest Interfer- ence by the Police—Slander Suit For the Mayor. NEW YORK, May 18.—Chief Devery’s lame explanation of his failure to inter- fere with poolrooms in New York city was riddled at yesterday’s session of the Mazet investigating committee by the wholesale exposure of a. vast system of poolrooms being openly operated. ' James R. Wood, one of Mr. Moss‘ as— sistants, went on the stand and showed that it was as easy to find a poolroom in New York as a saloon and that not a particle of detective skill is required to collect abundant evidence against them. It was a startling array of testimony, verbal and documentary, that Wood gave. He swore that in the past five or six weeks he has found 195 poolrooms in operation in New York and has bet in most of them. Where he won, the money was presented in evidence. Where he lost, the poolroom ticket was attached to his report. He said he found slight difficulty in getting into the poolrooms. He had only to assure the man at the door that he was a sport and wanted to bet, and it was all right. Wood said that one of the places where he made bet's was reputed to be run by Paddy Divver, the Tammany leader, and another by Senator Dry Dol- lar Sullivan. All were being run without the slightest police interference. Chief Devery’s face was a study dur— ing VVOO-d’s amazing exposure. He came up close at the invitation Of the com— mittee and looked intensely uncomfort- able. He heard in silence the facts re- lated and saw the evidence in the shape of money and tickets. Ex-Police Commissioner Hamilton testified in the morning that Mayor Van VVyck’s testimony on Tuesday was false. Hamilton swore he did not blackmail the Casino theater, but voted to give Canary & Lederer, the proprietors, a license. . He said he was not paid by the Casino managers until after he was ousted from the police board, and then only when he had secured a judgment against them. Job E. Hedges, counsel for Hamilton, has announced that a. suit for slander will be brought against Mayor Van Wyck. Accidental Shooting Proves Fatal. NEWBURG, N. Y., May 18.-—John R. Territt, 19 years of age, of Clinton, N. Y., died yesterday afternoon in Dr. Stone’s school at Cornwall-on-Hudson from the effects of a. revolver shot re- ,ceived accidentally on Monday last. Territt and a companion, Clifford A. Sloan, were in the same room.- Territt was reading, and Sloan was inspecting a revolver, when the weapon was dis- charged and Territt was shot in the abdomen. An operation was performed, but without beneficial results. Territt, while dying, relieved Sloan of all re— sponsibility. l The Meade’s Damages. WASHINGTON, Hay 18.—In case it is found that the transport Meade, which ran on a. reef near Ponce, will require. extensive repairs the transport Dixie, now at New York, will be sent at once to Ponce for the purpose of bringing home the Nineteenth regiment of in- fantry, which was ,On the Meade at the time of the accident. In view of the fact that the Nineteenth infantry is destined to the Philippines war de- partment officials are desirous of hav- ing the movements of that regiment expedited as much aspossible. Notable \Vasliing‘ton Nuptials. WASHINGTON, May 18.—The mar- riage of Miss Harriet Ward, one of the most prominent young society women Of 'VVashington, and MRCandler Par— sons Anderson of New York. who was secretary of the Bering sea commission and more recently secretary of the American board of high joint commis- sioners, was solemnized yesterday at St. John’s church, the Rev. Mackay Smith officiating. Secretary Hay and many other distinguished persons witnessed the ceremony. Fatal Lightning Stroke. BALTIMORE, May 18.—Ciara Hiles, 10 years of age, was killed by lightning at her father’s home, 550 Falls road, Hampden, yesterday afternoon. The child’s mother was severely shocked by the same bolt. Frank Hanzlick, the 9-year—Old son Of James Hanzlick of I Rosedale, Baltimore county, was struck by lightning Tuesday night. Mrs. Lick, her 14-year-old son and her sister-in- law were stunned, but recovered. Criminal Laws For Cuba. VIASHINGT'ON, May 18.—Director Rathbon. in charge of the postalpservice in Cuba; Assistant, Attorney General Tyner and Law Clerk Barrett of the postoffice department have drafted a code of criminal laws for the postal service in Cuba.

Every claim made for Conqueror is proven. PrO/en in Norwalk by local exper- ience. Here is one case from the many we have. Mr. Daniel S. Osterbanks, No. 21 Belden Ave., says: "In my younger days I worked very hard. I had trouble with kidney and bladder complaint. the the Little - river, near Turner. My back ached so severely at times that I could not move, and I was com- pelled to get up often at night, on ac- count of the kidney secretions, and lost a great deal of sleep. I tried medicine and plasters but they did not cure me. Isaw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and I hot 3. box at Hile’s (now Glenden- ing 8.: Co’s) drug store. They were just the thing for my trouble.

There is a desk in the Stanley school in Argentine that. is no longer occu— three pupils it accommodated met vio- lent deaths within- a year and new it is used as a stand for plants and flow- crs that serve the double purpose of clicrishing‘ the memory of the unfor- tunate children and excluding Others from the ill-starred sent. Miss Selby, teacher of the room in which the desk stands. is not supersti- tions, but she will scarcely be blamed for lici‘ reluctance to assign any more of 1101' scholars to occupy that particu- lar piece of furniture. (3110 your ago a bright little girl who sat in it was thrown from a horse and sustained in- juries from which she died. Three months later Lee Jewctt, a boy in the same class, who next used the desk, was drowned while bathing in the liaw Three men met' their death while trying to recover young Jewctt’s body and the tragedy will long. be remembered in Argentine. .The last scholar to use the desk was Bert Jessup, aged 12, who, a week ago Saturday, went hunting frogs with'an- other boy and n 22~caliber target rifle. The gun was accidentally discharged and Bert sustained a wound from which he died early the next morning. The sad reflections inspired in the minds of teacher and pupils by the rec- ord of the year in that schoolroom have naturally developed a prejudice against the-desk of fate that, in the case of the pupils at least, borders very closely on superstition. Payment :1 Diflicult Task. WASHINGTON, May 17.—Informa. tion has reached the war department showing that considerable difficulty will be encountered in the payment of the Cuban troops. The men in charge of the money do not know yet what method is to be followed in making the payment. A great deal of work will be necessary in connection with receiving money goes to the proper persons. Many of the Cubans cannot write their names, and already it has been sug- gested that in such cases an officer of the organization should certify for such persons. It was expected that the pay- ment would begin yesterday, but the action of General Gomez will postpone early action. Secretary Porter Returns. WASHINGTON.
