DOVLESTOW.V, Pa., Oct. 1. After a
search of three days and nights by hun
dreds of men, the Bucks County author
ities have not been able to lift even the
corner of the veil covering the disap
pearance of John Cope after the shoot
ing of his niece, Florence Cope, at Buck

certain that no one In the vicinity has
caught a glimpse of Cope since he
walked out of his brother's house after
the shooting.
Hack of Calvin Cope's farmhouse,
where Florence was killed, Is Cox's Hill,
a foothill of Buckingham Mountain, so
densely covered with underbrush that
It could not be completely searched. But
the authorities declnro Cope would soon
be starved out of theso thickets.
Cope In his wandering life Is declared
to have become familiar with the sec
tions In many Eastern titles frequented
by persons of the underworld, and the
Bucks County authorities are Inclined to
believe fhe fugitive has made his way to
one of these hiding places.
Plstrict Attorney Calvin S. Boyer has
Just Issued u more complete description
of Cope to the police In nearby cities. The

PHILADELPHIA
GAMBLING
City Now Harboring Men of the Betting Fraternity
and Handbook Makers Conduct Thriving Business
in Hotel Corridors
Philadelphia Is the gambling centre of
the East today and pcrhups of tho en
tire country. In spite of Its laws nnd
the disposition of Its cltlzons to uphold
them, the Quaker City Is harboring the
bis men of the gambling world and will
continue to do so while the ponies run
at the Havre de Grace race track.
"Ice" of tho kind that glitters In the
cravat, soft hats pulled down over the
eyes, cigars tilted at a rakish ancle,
yellow and rawn and other loud-hued
spats, flashing rings and suits of a more
pronounced type than Phlladelphlans wear
bear evidence to the horde of followers
of the dodders of Chance now In the
city.
An oflicl.il of the Department of Public
S.ifty said today that while all the big
gamblers of the country were here at
night detectives were watching thorn, and
that no games of chance wcro being run
here.
A walk along Chestnut street late nny
afternoon or evening after the special
trains from the race track get In will
demonstiato to any one that a new ele
ment is mingling with tho regular piom
enaders. In the lobbies of nearly all the
hotels In the centre of the city the same
thing may he noted.
IVKAIm OF DIAMONDS.
There are enough diamonds In the city
at night to choke a herd of cows. If
diamonds were used for such a purpose.
Many of them are real "rocks" torn
out of the earth at Kimberley. Others aro
tho product of the expert glassier or the
laboratory.
Why the City of Drotherly Love Is
chosen by the profession as its abiding
place during tho Havre de Orace season
no one knows. The gamblers might go
to Baltimore or Washington, but they
do not. Ily far tho majority flock to
Philadelphia at night to count up profits
or losses of the day and plan out cam
paigns for the next dtiv of raring.
Tho gamblers go to Havre de tiiaco by
(.peclal trains over the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore nnd Ohio roads. Three thou
sand Phlladelphlans and more than a
thousand persons hailing from Baltimore
and Washington were at Havie de
(Jrace yesterday nnd nine-tenths of them
or perhaps more placed beta on the
"ponies."
Two "bookies" had their charts un
rolled and were on their stools from the
start of the first race until they paid off
at the end of the last. The pasteboards
they gave to the bettors bore the name
of the "Newark Club" and "The East
ern." It Is said that one syndicate oper
ated both books,
mVTTOItS ARE SUPEHSTITIOUS.
Bettors aro a superstitious people.
Once and a while they believe that It is
Impossible to win from a certain book
maker. They look around for another
one. That Is why a syndicate has two
bookmakers at a track. One trading
under one name and the other flaunting a
flag of a different color.
The SO0O at the track were not the only
Thlladelphlans who placed bets. Hand
book men Ust night were In the lobbies
of tho various hotels taking bets on to
day's raciniT. They were doing It quietly
and they were only accepting the money
of persons they knew, for handbook men
are under the ban of the present admin
Illation. A man who knows and one who Is at the
bar of tho Vendl? or Bingham House
when ho Is not playing poker, says that
j'.O.OO'J dallv haS been wagered In Phil
adelphia on the rrsultB of Havre de Grace
races He did not make the assertiuu
boastfully. He stated the fact regret
fully, for money lost at the track can't
be lost to him.
There was butting on the races on the
1:M Pennsylvania Railroad's race track

and a betting ring were inseparable. While
he was making the assertion Tlmothy'B

sleeve. The bell was bounding: for tho
third race. Timothy gave tho horses a
look as they came from the paddock, dug
Into his pocket nnd handed the man at
his elbow three jcllow-backed bills. Ho
whispered Into the man's ear, for a fel
low who bets never shouts his selections,
and the man went away In thev direction
of the bookies.
Senator Olllo James, who halls from
Kentucky, tlm State famed for Its
Its horseB. whisky and beautiful women,
was at the track two days this week.
He had a betting commissioner all to
himself. The Senator picked winners,
and ho picked them often. Senator
James is of the opinion that horse rac
ing is a national institution. Ho has to
travel far, fometlnjes, to seo a driving
finish and all that sort of thing, but it
m nurin inn wniie, nc agrees with
Mr. O'Leary that It would be a calamity
if racing wcro abolished.
SOME NOTABLE PATRONS.
It was with some prldo that Mr.
O'Leary painted out some of his patrons
In the grand stand nnd on the club
house veranda. Thero was Michael
Fahc. u Havre de Graco lawyer, who
has never missed a day of racing at
the track. There wns Mr. Paget, of
Baltimore. He pts down street pave
ments. There was Captain Ralph Parr,
who holds a social position and much
property In Baltimore.
State Senator Mc.Vlchol, of Philadel
phia, spends a good deal of time at the
racetrack. Ho Is generally accompanied
by Charles Hall. Neither of the gentle
men was ever seen to place a bet on the
horses, hut the Senator has a betting
commissioner. He likes horses and ho
likes poker, but he has no use for
whisky or the people, who use it. say his
friends who know him best.
"Ike" Hachelberg, of Philadelphia, who
s solemn of vlsige. has not been pictured
In the newspapers, but he Is of some con
sequence at the track. He Is forever
seeking tips on the horses. He rubs his
llOSe thoUClltfllllv. rifurnrrlo tV, ....
makes a little guess of his own and gen
erally wins. There is little wonder In
this, for . "Ike," when he thinks his
knowledge of the ponies is getting rusty,
brushes up again by sleeping a few
nights In Havre de Grace and appearing
at the track at sun-up. He stands In the
shadows of the grandstand and clocks
the training dashes of the horses new to
him. Hachelberg is the man to become
friendly with by one who desires to make
a profitable visit down In Maryland.
COACHMAN "TOM" THERE.
There Is another man who Is at the
track dally. His first name Is "Tom." If
his last name was divulged he might lose
a pension of $100 a month. He Is the
coachman of a woman who takes a deep
interest In church work. "Tom" drove
for her for years. She discarded her
hnre-s for a flock of automobiles. She
pensioned two hordes along with "Tom."
Tho horses are never ustd by her, but
she keeps them so that "Tom" will have,
something to occupy his mind. "Tom"
hires a colored boy to do most of his
work and spends his time at the track.
With all his knowledge he did not pUk
a winner yesterday.
