Game of Poker.
New York, Jan. 25.—A shake
up among the keepers in charge
of prisoners in the Tombs as fore
casted today as a result of an un
expected visit to the jail last night
by two assistants of District At
torney Charles S. Whitman, who
found unmistakable Signs of a
“poker party” in the cell of John
McNamara, alias “Australian
Mack,” formerly a San Francisco
saloon keeper, who is held here in
connection ith the $274,000 rob
bery in September, 1911, at the
branch bank of Montreal at New
Westminster,. B. C.
In McNamara’s cell were Percy
Davis, a Republican alderman,
who is serving a sentence; Jack
Sullivan, former member of Big
,Jack Zelig’s gunmen, known as
“king of the newsboys,” and two
wire-tappers, recently arrested.
It was evident that the live pris
oners had been drinking cock
tails. The keepers, it is alleg
ed, warned the “party” in lime to
bide the cards and oIIut gamb
ling accessories.

UJMPMES
Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.—
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, pre
sented to the Senate today a pro
posal for an industrial commis
sion of seven members to lake
over th(> work of the bureau of
corporations and exorcise control
over all persons, firms or cor
porations doing an interstate
business with gross receipts of
more than $5,000 a year.
Explaining the bill to the Sen
ate, he said it proposed to create
a body similar to the interstate
commerce commission to have the
same power over industrial con
cerns that the latter exercises ov
er transportation companies.
“The purpose is to protect the
people with some degree of
promptness from the extortion
ate practices of powerful corpor
ations without destroying the
businesses they represent," he
said.
