(By J. M. Allison, Special Corre
spondent of The Times.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—“I handled
a lot of money on bets on the recent
election,” said Charles Bamberger of
Bamberger, Loeb & Co., brokers, in
Broad street, “but one little bet inter
ested me personally more than any of
the big ones. When Hughes was a
strong favorite in the betting, a little
weazen-faced Western Union mes
senger boy whom I had often seen de
livering telegrams, came into the of
fice and, with a solemn air, asked to
speak with me privately.
“All right,” said I. “What is it my |
boy?”
“I want to know how much commis- j
sion you charge on an election bet,” j
he said.
“Well, if it’s for you,” I answered, j
“I won’t charge any commission.
“I expected him to ask me to place |
ten dollars or something like that for
him. When I told him that he would
have no commission to pay he began
digging bills out of every pocket. At
last he had a thousand dollars in ones,
twos and fives on my desk.”
“ ‘I want to bet that on Wilson,’ he
said, ‘at the best odds I can get.’
“ ‘The odds are 7 to 5,’ I said. ‘You
can get $1400 against your thousand.’
“ ‘Get it,’ he said. ‘That’s about
what I thought it would be.’
“He came in the next day and sol
emnly nodded when I told him that his
bet had been made. On the following
day he came in and called me to one
side.
“ ‘Are you sure that this man I bet
with is all right?’ he asked.
“I laughed. ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘you can
feel easy about that, I think. In the
first place, he’s rated at over a mil
lion, and in the second place I’ve got
his money.’
“I didn't hear from him again until
ten days after the election. By that
time, in the street, it was conceded
that Wilson had won, and all bets were
being paid.
“ ‘I didn’t want to bother you while
this thing seemed uncertain,' he said,
still solemnly and unsmilingly. ‘If
I can get my money now I’d like to
have it.'
. “‘Sure yop can get it now,’ I said.
‘Check or cash?’
“ ‘Well, if it’s just the same to you,
I’ll take it in cash.’
“Our cashier paid him in hundred
dollar bills. With the same solemn,
serious air, he pocketed the money
and started away.
“ ‘Well, you’re some sport, kid,’ I
said. ‘Are you a regular betting man?’
“‘I never made a bet before in my
life,’ he answered. ‘It took me eight
years to save that thousand dollars. I
wanted to get married and open a ci
gar store but it looked like I’d never
get enough money until I was an old
man, so I talked to my girl and she
said we might as well take a chance.
She said it was pretty near as bad not
to have any money as not to have
enough. So, that’s why I bet. We're
go’n t’ get married, but not fur a few
weeks. It’s go’n t’ take a little while
fur both of us to get over the strain.
I know I ain’t slept well fur ten days,
an’ she come near losin’ her job be
cause she couldn’t keep her mind on
the’ boss's dictation. I’m blamed glad
this thing turned out right; that’s
all.’ ”
Tod Schaffner, who used to live in
Cincinnati, has two sons in the mili
tary school at Irving-on-the-Hudson.
The school is one in which the youth
ful inclination if left in many ways
to seek its bent,'yet, in some particu
lars, the strictest discipline is en
forced. Each boy is allowed twenty
five cents a week spending money, re
ceiving an installment of ten cents on
Wednesday, and the balance of 15
cents on Sunday. It is positively re
quired that each boy shall attend
Sunday school regularly, but he is
permitted an absolutely free choice in
the selection of the Sunday school.
The Schaffners, imbued with the pres
ent-day liberality regarding religion,
instructed the authorities at the
school that their hopefuls, since there
is no Jewish Sunday school in Irving
ton, might attend any one they chose.
Shortly thereafter a letter arrived
from John, aged 12, indignantly an
nouncing that Bob, aged 9, had all but
embraced the Roman Catholic faith.
"I go with nearly all the other
boys to the Episcopalian Sunday
school,” wrote John, "but Bobby goes
to the Catholic Sunday school and we
can’t make him quit. He ought to go [
with me and the rest of us.”
When Mr. Schaffner went up for a-;
week-end visit with the pair, John ;
immediately reopened this important j
subject of discussion. “Well, now, '
John,” said Father Schaffner, “Bob !
has a right to do as he likes about
this, you know. Any religion is all
right if you believe in it. If there’s
anything about the Catholic church
that he likes I’m not going to inter
fere. Of course, I don’t know why it
is that he’s so determined about it but
no doubt he can tell. Why is it Bob
by?"
The reply was Bobby’s first contri
bution to the conversation.
“You don’t have to drop no nickle,
there,” he said.
There seems to be a “hoodoo” on the
Fourty-fourth street theatre, one of
the finest houses in New York, located
in the very best and most accessible
part of the Tenderloin. Beginning
with the failure of it’s attraction,
Weber & Fields, reunited with much
eclat and appearing in a theatre built
and named for them, it has hojsed one
uninterrupted string of failures. After
the public failed to respond to Weber
& Fields, the name of the house was
changed from Weber & Fields Music
Hall to the present title. Richard Wal
ton Tully’s excrably bad piece, “The
Flame,” is now playing there to very
little patronage. But the hoodoo does
n’t stop in the theatre. The house has
a wonderful rathskeller which has
been closed for more than a year. Two
restaurant men valiantly tried ■ to
make money in it and both went broke
in the effort. On the roof there is a
commodious and beautiful small thea
tre and dancing place. It was opened
this year with an entertainment of the
type originated by Florenz Ziegfield
in his “Midnight Frolic,” atop of the
New Amsterdam theatre. The place
on the roof of the Forty-fourth street
was called “The BuM Ring.” It cer
tainly was the most attractive and the
best conducted of the after-midnight
dancing places, and the “show” given
there was nearly if not quite as good
as the “Midnight Frolic.” Yet, last
week, when people were offering any
price for seats at the “Midnight Frol
ic,” and when tables for Friday and
Saturday night at the “Monmatre,”
Rector’s and other dancing places
were engaged a week ahead, the re
sort on the roof of the Forty-fourth
street closed for lack of patronage.
Broadway says that nothing but “hoo
doo” theory can explain ail of this.
