"Honest John," n game in which tho player bets he can pick a higher card than tho dealer from several piles on the table, also got some of the Toomey money, it is said. The dealer has the advantage in thnt ho wins nil tics. Toomey, it wns said, frequently bet up to $100 in gnmen whero $10 in n big bet. Officials of the compnny do not be lieve Toomey's story that he lost all tho money gambling, nnd are rooking efforts to force him to tell the where abouts of money they believe he has hidden. Although Toomej' never dressed flash ily, he always carried u cane when attending gambling games. Ho ac knowledged few introductions nnd rarely spoke to such acquaintances afterward. Several of the gamblers who are said to have gotten most of tho money lost by Toomey on the races. "Honest John" and craps, returned to the city last night from Saratoga. One of the gam blers who was assistant bookmakor nt n poolroom near Thirteenth and Fil bert streets, whero. Toomey lost much of his monej. heard of his former client's arrest for the first time. "I nm not surprised," this gambler said. "We all knew it would come sooner or later, in fnrt I that he was not discovered long neiorc this." This gambler, when he heard that Toomey was In Jail in default of $20,000 ball, started nt once in an effort to raise tho money. Most of the gamblers, how ever, havo had wind of tho affair nnd nre nt the Belmont trnck, nnd thoe who were approached, whllo evi dencing a desire to help Toomey, de clared that most of the money won fHom tho nccuscd cmbcrzlcr had been lost by them nt Saratoga. "Knowing thnt nn effort will bc made to recover some of the money they won from Todraey, do you think that thoso chiefly responsible will return to Phila delphia to Ktayf" the gambler wns nsked. "Certainly." he replied, "although they will probably tnke in the meeting nt Havre tie Urnce first. more keep those- fellows nwny from Philadelphia, where the picking is soft, despite the 'quarantine,' thnn you enn keep n murderer away from the scene of his crime." Coal Consumers Profiteers' Prey Continued from Pace Ono holder, has been paying every penny of advance in wages granted tiie miners by the operators. In addition to this, tho onerators with every advance have been pocketing as much additional. The anthracite- coal operators have never lost n penny as a result of grant ing an advanco in wages to their opera tives. They not only raised the price of coal to meet tho demand, but doubled and trebled It t6 their own profit. Coal Profiteers Kings of Tribe The coal profiteers arc the kings of the tribe.
