&S expected that th next eohfertnc with

fcr the Presidents call to meet him this
afternoon.
It was learned here that a group tot the
blftgest bankers In Jtfcw York city today
Vere carefully examining tho situation to
determine whether their Influence should be
thrown to the President
Tho fact that a strike, oven though of
the briefest duration, would absolutely
shatter stock values and bring about a con
dition of financial chabs, the outcome of
which would be difficult to determine, was
expected eventually to owing these men to
the White House compromise. And If they
do say the word there will be nothing for
th6 railway executives and managers now
bet to do but to accept.
f ha action -nt the President In sending
Colonel Georgo Pope. President of the Nil.
tional Association of Manufacturers, n
rather sharp denial that his present plan
In effect, an attack upon general arbitra
tion and his attitude "neither weakens nor
discredits but strengthens" the principle
of arbitration, has materially strengthened
his position, officials say.
Although many telegrams hava nnrhprt
the White House demanding that arbitra
tion of all of tho Issues Involved Including
tho eight-hour day be forcd, thcrp have
also been received many mesinges Indors
ing the President's plan, nnd declaring
that It Is his duty to present a nationwide
strike, even though It may be necessary to
apply for tho appointment of Federal re
ceivers to operate the roads
The brotherhood representatives are
marking time.' They met In their head
quartern again today and talked things
tvit, but took no action. They have made
iv piain to me white House that If the
railroads refuso to accept tho peaco plan
they wilt go ahead with their original pro
gram and call the strike, putting tho blame
on the roads. But they have promised
President Wilson they will make no radical
movo whatever without first consulting

'"JUDGE" CALL INDICTED
IN VICE CLEAN-UP
Continued fro i Taie One
Grand Jury that he did not have sufficient
real estate to serve as security for the ball.
HURRIES TO CITY HALL.
When the Indictment was presented to
Judge McMlchael, of Quarter Sessions
Court, the news was flashed to Call via
the "ward heeler" message route. Call
- Immediately boarded a trolley car and hur
ried to City Hall, He presented himself
before Judge McMlchael, and thereby saved
himself from service from a bench warrant
which the court was about to issue.
Bail was fixed In the Bum of J1000 for
Call and the amount was furnished by
Michael Spatola, a lawyer.
Call had on a brand-new Panama hat, and
when he cama forth from Judge Mc
Michael's chambers he wore a smile, but
appeared nervous. He also perspired freely.
"I expect to be able to prove my Inno
cence without much difficulty, he said as
he rubbed his handkerchief over his fore
head. He refused to discuss the situation
further,
CALL SWEATS AND FUMES.
A little, later, when reporters called at the
"Judge's" office at Twelfth street and Olr
rd avenue, he had lost much of the op
timism which he appeared to have when
he talked In tho City Hall corridor.
"Is It true that chips can be bought at
your club?" Call was asked.
The Btout Magistrate looked aa though
about to explode. Hi eyes bulged angrily
from their sockets, his face turned from
brlsht red to a purplish hue, and the big
veins In his neck Bwelled as If they were
going tq burst ,
'I have nothing1 to aay, nothing to say,"
, he gasped, waving hU questioners away
wlth a pudgy hand.
,, 'tls it trua that professional dealers are
-employed at- your clubf
. Tne judge became even moro Irritable.
He looked at his questioners aa If he wished
' that a look could slaughter them. Ha
., clenched bis teeth as if to bite off a savage
, retort- '
a .'.'Very busy, very busy," he panted as he
removed perspiration beads with the back
fit his hand.
"Did you say you were going to 'get'
Lieutenant Haines, for quarantining your
eiu&r'
The Judge wet his dry lips with his
tongue, grabbed hold of the edge of his
desk as U to steady his nerves, and fairly

"Go. away; can't you see I'm very busy?

"Tne aforesaid accepted had and Insuf
ficient security, unlawfully and corruptly
with the Intent to obstruct and Impede the
execution and administration of justice "
The Indictment against "Judge" Call Is
the first of the kind to be presented against
a Magistrate In this city for many years.
The last Indictment of this kind was drawn
about 12 years ago against Magistrate
Harry Fletcher, now deceased. Fletcher
was accused of malfeasance in ofllce.
SLUMP IN CALL STOCK
The Indictment of Call caused something
akin to panic among political corruptlonlsts
who In the past have been given reason
to feel that the "Judge" was Immune from
warrants. Indictments, police Interference
and other uncomfortable legal processes.
"Judge" Call's stock fell rapidly when the
news of the Indictment spread among ward
heelers, p ckpockets, cadets and disorderly
women, who hae learned to look upon the
"Judge" aa the best man before whom to
be arraigned
It became known today that Joseph
Perrottl. who furnished the straw ball ac
cepted by Call, was at the Hotel Moscagnl
In Atlantic City.
He called up from Atlantic City this
morning and asked If the "Grand Jury dev
ils" were still working. He became excited
nnd hurriedly hung up the receiver when
told that Call had been Indicted The Au
gust Grand Jury has wanted to hear Per
rottl's. story concerning the straw ball, but
Perrottl has kept out of sight
MAYOR ASKS TESTIMONY
About the time the Indictment was pre
sented to Judge McMlchael. Mayor Smith
went to the office of Judge Rogerf The
Mayor asked the Judgo for a copy of the
testimony given before the July Grand
Jury On Saturday District Attorney Sam
uel P Rotnn notified tho Mayor that he
did not have the power to give him this
testimony He suggested that the Mayor
seek permission from Quarter Sessions
Court.
In speaking of his Interview with Judge
Rogers, the Mayor said: "Judge Rogers
told mo that It was against the law to give
out testimony before a Grand Jury I
am satisfied with his decision and will make
no further effort to ohtaln thli testimony."
The Grand Jury would have Indicted
Call last week, politician.' say. had It not
been for a police blunder which forced
from town Perrottl, the principal witness.
That blunder, which had the form of a
raid, looked so much more like collusion
than stupidity to cr!tlC3 of the police, that
the orderB went out to show Call ho was
not a favored one The quarantine on his
club followed, and no small part of tho
significance In that quarantine Is the fact
that the club is In the 20th. Dave Lane's
ward, and Joe Call Is one of Lane's most
faithful followers.
CLUB GAMBLING.
When Magistrate Joe Call couldn't get In
hit own club yesterday he blustered this
way and that, threatened to "get" the police
men who kept him out. threatened also to
"get" the lieutenant, who, In this case, hap
pens to be "Chick" Haines.
But with nil the threats he didn't get In
the clubhouse, and that was his only reason
for coming up from Atlantic City He
wanted to show- his followers that nobody
could keep him out. Ho wanted to see
the Mayor about It, but hasn't been able to
get to him yet
The club was quarantined Instead of
being raided, becauso Police Lieutenant
Halnei felt that they could not get the
evidence In n raid He Is satisfied the club
Is hardly moro than a gambling Joint, prin
cipally draw and stud poker.
Men say that anybody can sit In tho
game simply by Joining the club, which
meant the payment of a $1 initiation fee
There were supposed to be monthly dues
of a half dollar, but theso were not often
collected from the card players. Their game
was support enough, for the house used to
draw down a 10 per cent commission
HOW THE GAME RUNS
Joe Segal is said to hoe run the gamo
for tho club Magistrate Call's son-in-law.
Bill Davison, sold the chips, and that kept
the business end of things In the family.
Professional dealers were obtained at 75
cpnts and a $1 fee for an hour nnd thoy
headed the table in the big eight-handed
games.
They say that many of the stud games
had no pots worth less than several hun
died dollars. They weren't pikers. Drinks
were free out of the 10 per cent rake-off
Segal drew down for the house.
Business was good at this time, too, be
cause gamblers in other parts of town had
shut down following the blj vice raid of
July 15, even Moe Welnbeck'a pla'co at GIr
ard avenue and Twelfth street He Is an
other follower of David Larte.
So they are saying now Joe Call has
run down on his luck. He had It easy
there, too. The house would furnish him
with chips and he stood only to gain, never
to lose. They would even send him home
In a taxlcab when he left; and the house
paid ,
Ward heelers In the Twentieth Ward were
unnerved by the blows at the Call dynasty.
They term the actions against Call "political
auacKS." xney say that some of the Vare
politicians have suspected for some time
mat tno "Judge" has been slashing Vare
candidates In favor of McNIchol. therefore
the Vare men are "out to get the Judge."
But there was plenty of evidence today
that the Call dynasty was crumbling Even
his closest friends criticized what they
termed Call's lack of Judgment. One ot
these was Isadore Rejnhelmcr. 1741 North
Eighth street. In speaking of the acceptance
of Si-100 In straw ball by Call for the
release of 18 disorderly women, Relnhelmer
said:
"The Judge Is a good fellew, and ho Is
always ready to come through with a bone
or two for anybody In trouble. But he
ought not to go outside his own ward to
help anybody In trouble, as he did In the
case of those wornen. He should be con
tent to keep his, own people out of hot
water."

mningham Piano was frequently
Ivertised within the last twelve or
fifteen months by a certain store,
which stated in each ad that its
original price was $400.00 and
their selling- price $95.00 They,
however, fearing we would ascer
tain its pedigree, carefully oblit
erated the exposed numbers of
the instrument.
The real history of this par
ticular piano is as follows: First
and foremost, its real number is
5457, and it was sold to James Toy,
4908 Lancaster Avenue, on Julv 27.
1893, which is now over twentv-threr? vpars
ago. We suppose it was purchased by the store in question for the pur
pose of attracting buyers to their store, as Cunningham-made pianos
always do.
We also note a Mayer upright piano, No. 6578, in a walnut case,
which was taken in trade byusonone of our Matchless player-pianos, and
we sold it to a Benjamin Gordon, of 1613 South Thirteenth street, on
April 3, of this year, for $80.00. We now see it on sale by one of 'the
stores selling pianos as a supposed special piano bargain for $100.00.
We don't object to our pianos being advertised by competitors, if
they come by them in an honorable way, but we are surprised at big
houses using the tactics that were common in the days of4 lorn? a?o
piano selling. . & &
