AS TO -DOC” SUTER v Noted Gambler Spoken of by The

Baltimore Sun

From the Baltimore Suo. ••Robert J., better known as ‘Itoc. ' slater, was the last of the great gamb-' lere of Baltimore—si/rmuj KomaHorum. He lanted from before the war up to 1898, when his death closed the door* of 8 1-2 Calvert street, for many year* one of the most famous gambling houses In the country. “Slater was a unique, forceful character, and in his time cut a wideswath in the affaire of the town. He w as a leader in polities and carried thing* in his own way for a long time. Later, in an attempt to buck against the late 1. Freeman Raain, he was overthrow n and from that time on lost much of hi>

prestige and power.

“The fight with Rasin was the cause of the law being pas*ed which provides imprisonment as well as a line for the gamblers. This put the fraternity out of the business. Cnder that law Slater, with many other*, waa indicted, and Slater w as sent to jail for five month*. He was pardoned out after serving two month.*. “Some sort of a truce w as patched up betw*en the powers that were and .Slater, and for many years 8 1-2 Calvert street was the only gambling house allowed to run in Baltimore. “Early In life Slater was a butcher, inheriting the business from his father. HU first venture in the gambling line was in a small house at the comer of High and Fayette streeU. Afterward, with the backing of David W. Bishop, ne opened the house at 8 1-2 Calvert street, which he occupied up to the

time of hU death.

“Later Slater opened a house—"1116 Canary "-at Cape May, where very high gambling »a* carried on. This house burned down. He was also teres led in a house at Long Branch, w here a big game was played,

And Mr. Kean has such a pie inoffensive way of doing it that nobody seems to mind, either. He get* up smiling, and in the roost com manner imaginable, without banishing the smile for an instant, be "suggests'' that the rienatA •frojog^ch and auch a place let this malwF or that go over for such and such a time. Ho [Deli roes v tbe senator mo*l intere*ted in the bill Is not in the chamber- Sometimes The measure in question does not just appeal to the good taste of the Senator from New Jersey. But always there U some good reason, stated in deferential term*, and with that delerential smile, why bill, revolution, or whatnot should "lie over Without prejudice.” The Senator from New Jersey never has prejudices. He never invokes that terrible rule lx, oi gests indefinite postponement, always without prejudice. The Senator* seem to like it. It 1* all done in such a sweet, pleasant way that one would sympathize w ith them if they made an eigtfleenth eenMry bow and begged the Senator from Ne> Jersey, ere they present any particular measure to the Senate k consideration. . to do them the honor, and give them the pleasure of interposing one of his saccharine objections.

Ipbtiirria v-a*v« was cited. Public 1 Ayurncy General McCarter rendered n opibtoD as to the constitutionality f the proposed public utilities ow pending In the senate. At the public hearing last week on these bills the question was raised rvganltaf the constitutionality of the hills, torney geuertl advised the senate that the bills are constitutional. William son. the Elisabeth lawyer. Wright bill last year, and r-ounael for the people's lobby be raised the constitutionality question this year. The Wright MU giving state control of publle utilities failed to pass .the legislature Inst year. Later tbv provisions of the proj>o»ed law were used as a basis for the Hughe* law of New York. Since the |ia**ag* of the set by the New York legislature thr demand followed for a similar law in this stale. In the framing of the various provisions to constitute the hills tiresealed to the legislature dupllcillou him been made of the Wrlghl bill of last year by copying the provisions of the Hughes law. A public utilities bill Is expected to be pawed by the prvsatil legislature. Senator Brown presented a resolution requesting the attorney general to take steps to prevent the city of New York from dumping garbage and other refuse In the Atlantic ocean near the shore of Monmouth county, which practice, the resolution state*, has been menace to public health for aeveral

It was refer* ?d to the committee on Judiciary. Constitutional Amsndmonts.

JusUcea of the peace for four yearn. The govowor and members of the senate shall be elected In even numliered years, all other connty and municipal officers shall be elected In odd numbered years commencing Nov. 1. 1911. Senator learttfa tenure of office for public school teachers, principals an" supervisors brought on a lively delate on second reading. The objection to the hoi was based on the statement that the passage of the bill would hinder the boards of education In amall communities from selecting school teacher at the end of each school year, aa the taw now permits, and pre vent the renewing of contracts for the ensuing year. From the remark* made It appeared that the bill would pass when It cornea up for final passage.

or $00,000 Jenry J. Went, of Camden, was ■worn In as Slate comptroller by Justice Garrison in the main branch of the Hupreme Court room last Thursday, at Trenton. The bond of I comptroller Is fixed at $50,000, but on account of Governor Fort's abaci: ha* not been approved. David Baird, of • amden; Senator Robert E. Hand, of Cape May, and Peter C. Verge, a liquor dealer of Camden, and owner of the Cape May House, on Jmrkaoir-elreet, Cape May, are acting ak Mr. West's bondsmen. Mr. Wml, illh the reliring Stale comptroller, 3. Willard Morgan, visited thr variont ofiltes in the Bute house and Mr. Morgan\(Mroduced him to aeveral beads of But* departments In speaking of bondsmen, the Newark Evening News of last Saturday

■aid:

‘When Henry J. West was sworn In as Bute comptroller Thursday as the successor to J. Willard Morgan, he filed a bond of $50,000 for the faithful performance of bis duties, and the chief signer of this bond waa David Baird. Of course, it baa been known right along that Mr. Weat la ‘Baird' so it will be no shock to th public mind to disco er that the South Jersey boss has made himself financially liable for the correct conduct of thr office of Slate comptroller. The principle of this transaction 1* all wrong, and the Slate should allow such a proceeding, it should not be possible for a political boas or for the repraaenUtive of a special inplace Slate officials under obligations of this character. In one well known instance in this Bute, the chief executive officer of a public utility corporation want on a bond af a public official, and when the fatter refused to do the formar's bidding, the corporation man threatened rilhdraw from the bond and made eoessary for the official to retire to private life or else stultify himself byserving the corporation in question against the dicUles of his conscience. 'Bute officials should be required by Uw to have bonds furnished by regular bonding company. That is the only way in which the evil of the system can be wiped out. The cost of obtaining such bonds would not be large, Imd if it would not be fair for the bonded official to bear the expense, the Bute or aid well afford to do it. It doea not Inspire the people of the Bute with confidence in their public servant* when it la know lha latter are under the financial con* trol of bosses and special intereaU.

WASHINGTON CITY—THE MAGNET OF THE PEOPLE. The eyes of eighty million American people are now on Washington, the Capital of the Nation. ■*' The wheels of the National Government are now in full motion. Congress is in session and the busy whirl of the legislative mill is intensely interesting. Many hours may be spent in the Senate or House gallery watching the legislators at work. The other workshops of the Nation are also well worthy of a visit. The White House, the home and office of the President; the State, War, and Navy Building, with its museums and - models; the Treasury Building, with its huge vaults; the Government Printing Office, the Patent Office, and the Congressional Library; the National Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, the great Monument, and the new Union Station are all attractive features of the Capital City. The splendid dty with its numerou* parks and statues never loses its charms at any season. The service of the Pennsylvania Railroad to Washington serves a wide territory. Its trains afford a direct means of reaching the National Capital, and tickets at reasonable rates are on sale at all ticket offices. Attractive three-day Personally-Conducted Tours to Washington, leave New York, Newark, Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton, and Philadelphia, on* March 12, April 2 and ijt, and May 7.
