Guest Refused Big Unit "A wealthy guest at the Chalfonte, returning from New York, formed a chance acquaintance on the train, wtio l engaged him in conversation the next morning on the hotel porch nnd pointed out a man who walked by and seated himself n short distance away as a man who hnd cleaned up S100.000 last week on the poolroom races in New York.' An introduction was brought about. Several other gentlemen ensuallv turned up. Proposals were made to go around to the first chance acquaintance's betting nnd gambling establishment, said to bo only n short dlstnnce away. "The guest, not showing a disposi tion to go, some of the others) sent bets to bo put down on their behalf. The next morning he was told that there waa $00 to his credit nround nt the es tablishment, as he had won In the third race. II told them they picked the wrong man ; thnt he was not n 'emp-on' nor Interested in the gambling game. "He then reported the matter to the hotel proprietor, who called up the police department, stnted the facts and aid to send men down at once: that they might pick up some of the bunch. Two detectives enmo down nfter two bourn and then an examination disclosed the fact thnt the leader of the outfit as stopping at Haddon Hnli. nnd without having snld n word nbout lcav Inr ho suddenly, within those two hours, paid his bill nt the desk nnd got out, bag and baggage, all before the detec tives arrived. "A few days Inter, one of our guests reported at the MiirllKiroiigh-Rlenheitn office thnt parties were trying to get him into a wire-tapping confidence game; that he had been to their house on North Vermont avenue; that tliev there N had an elaborate outfit In the way of office arrangements with cashiers' win dows, stacks of money, etc.. and nu merous people about ; thnt he there played certain races and won some money, which was pnld to him and that they now were npproaching him with u scheme for a big haul of .$100,000. Again Tipped Off "He said he would consider It nnd an appointment was made for thnt evening at tne iMnrioorouxn-uictiiicim. .My brother. Senator C. D. White, reported them to the prosecutor's office, telling whoever responded to the telephone, that the Police Department having nppai ently tipped off the swindlers In the Chalfonte case, he hnd not thought It wlso to report this oao to the Police Department. He suggested that county detectives be nt once put on the job. "Instead, the case was turned ovpt totho City Detective Department. They made a date to go with him to the house the next morning, but when they got there they found that the entire outfit and their equipment had been moved out, forfeiting $1000 rent paid in ml lance for the season. Thnt they had been tipped off by some one it seems to me 1h obvious." WORLD WAR HERO DIES fcf.fc.i.Min Who Took Mesaana From Lost w- , yy Battalion Succumbs After Operation ?yr ?w York, July 12.

"It is difficult to degrade the tempo of the waltz," she said, "and we hope that the people will come to realize the embarrassment of the spectator who watches tlie other dances with a feeling of disgust." The dancing director said tlie volume of criticism directed at the "toddle" has made people think of the vulgattt which It reallj shows.

NUN ASKS $10,000 APPROPRIATIONS IN GITYTO BE CUT Council's Finance Committee Will Act at Meeting This Afternoon MAYOR'S DEPARTMENTS AID Cuts in appropriations' sought by vnri ous cltv dcpa'-tiiifuts will probably be made when Council's Finance Commit tee meets tlirS afternoon to consider requests for additional money which they iisk to tide them over until Oc tober 1. Depart incuts under the Mnyor have helped b transferring money from one item to another which amounts to $H."i). The increased appropriations sought total $1.102,01. 50. Todnj's action on appropriations is a preliminary step by Councllinen for (leaning up the work for the summer in order that they may have the annual vacation. Council may recess for tho summer July '2$. Cut Is Inevitable While the various city and county oihciuls were allowed $rl).:i04,:il0.fiO, in the budget for 11121, they have sent icquests to Council for additional ap propriations for tlie ninutint named. It will be necessary for City Council to furnish them with $l,087,-lt)3.r0 if all the requests are honored. 1'ctling among Councllmen seems to bo that deep cuts will have to be made or the requests will not be granted. I he solution, it is believed, will be found by tailing money from Items which are loaded up until the end of thu year and transferring It to departments where money is renllv needed. Ihis policy, it i believed, will be followed, although the cit has other ic.sources of revenue from which these appropriations mny be granted. Hadley Explained Situation Tho financial position of the city was pointed out to .Mayor Sloore re cently by City Controller Hadley. "Theie has been receiver .f07o,Xiu.fi2 thus for this year for liquor licenses," Sir. Hadley told tho Slnyor. "Tho ac tual nits -used valuation of real estate for 11)21 is $S2,054,12S in excess of the Hoard of Uovision'H critimato of last October. Thus it nhouh! produce ap proximately $1,800,000 of m-elpts from tuxes in excin of the estimate." Sir. Hadley pointed out that last j ear he refrained from Issuing a certifi cate of excess tax receipts to Council for appropriations until October 111, and said ft would be unwise to Issue such certificates so earl in the year, particularly in view of the fact that the cash balance in the general or current tuud of the city Is virtually exhausted. The city will receive the built of Its taxes during the latter part of the Au gust und tho City Controlley feels It would be unwise to certify excess re ceipts to Council for appropriations until the middle of September.

Lcvcnson, who litis been named by tlie Attorney Oenernl as nn alleged co conspirator with Tufts, said he nttended n conference nt the Hotel Touralne nbout two months! after the dinner, nt which it wns brought out that there wn talk of an investigation of the Woburn affair. Dinner Cost $1050 Tho bill for the Slishawum dinner, which, it wns stnted. Sir. Abrams paid, was $1050. In cross-examination Mr. Abrnius deposed thut Dnnlel II. Conk ley, nn attorney, told Sir. Tufts at their conference that he hnd conic to discuss "that drunken party" and had brought the parties involved "so that Mr. Tufts could see they were gentlemen nnd not rowdies." Sir. Tufts agreed to grant the time Sir. Coakley asked in order that ho might prove the men innocent, Sir. Abrams said. They then went away und and never saw Tufts again. Sir. Hiirlburt urged that it was im portant the public be protected nnd hnve the utmost confidence not only In the courts, but In its officers. He said: "In this case we charge that the pub lic prosecutor of Middlesex has been un faithful to his trust ; thnt he hns given the nubile to understand that the rich man enn purchnse justice and thnt tho poor man has little chance to protect himself or his property against tho rirh man or tlio man with lnliucncc.

Abrams it might bo well to employ Sir. Coakley to straighten out matters. Sir. Conkley demanded a retainer ot $10,000, Sir. Hiirlburt said, nnd that amount was promised by Abrnins, but nothing wns paid nt the time. On the dny following, Sir. Hiirlburt continued. Abrams, Levenson. Curley, Daley and Conkley went to Knst Cambridge and conferred with Sir. Tufts. The lnttcr said ho hnd complaints ns to what oc curred at the Slishawum Slanor, nml it seemed to be a drunken affair if the stories were true. At that conference, according to Sir. Hurlburt, the District Attorney snld: "If you can get these complainants off my back everything will be nil right." Sir. Hurlburt then told of n confer ence held In New London, Conn., on June 2, 1017. at which Adolph Zukor and Hiram Abrams are alleged to have paid $100,000 to settle alienation nnd breach of promise suits nrlsing out of the Mishnwuin revels.

No Payment to Tufts Alleged "I mny say here," Sir. Hurlburt continued, "thnt we are unnblo to trace any proportion of this $100, 0(H) into the personal possession of Sir. Tufts. Wo do snj the strong inference is that even If he did not receive money he was in fluenced b his friendship for Sir. Conk lej and thereby acted destructively to the popular belief that his office 'was administered without fear or favor." Sir. Johnson, counsel for Sir. Tufts, said: "Sir. Tufts has no desire to limit the scone of this hearing, If the Court desires to go into all these matters, which we consider irrelevant, for the purpose of nn inquest, he hns no objec tion, but such evidence us Sir.
