< e g T BB e POLICE BREAK UP ‘STRIP POKER’ GAME Find Men and Women in Tene- ment Partly Clothed Three men and three women were arrested shortly before 1 o'clock this morning in a tenement at 51 Fast| Main street, after a squad of polic men had lhistened in an alleyway | outside to a conversation around a table at which “strip poker” was being played, the language that came to their ears being “the most indecent I have heard in a long time,” according to Sergeant John | . Stadler, and “filthy.” according to Officer Cornelins Keough. Whe the sergeant and Officers Keough, | James M. McCue, Maurice Flynn and Louis E. Harper raided the tenement, they found two women intoxicated and almost nude, whils the three men were in various stafes of his dishabille Two empty bottics which smelled of alcohol and some ampty ginger ale bottles were found with a pack of cards used in the game Al Fined in Conrt Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today heard the details of the cas while the court room tittered. John Kiley, aged 43, of 389 Main strect Warren E. Philips, aged 35, of #S5 Rlue Hills avenus, Hartford and Jo- seph J. MeLaughlin. Kelly, aged 32, of 74 Flower street Hartford, wera found guilty of thy charge of frequently a disorderly house and each was fined $20 and | costs. Mrs, Minnie Smith, aged 44 ‘ ge of frequenting a disor ferly house, was fined §25 and costs, while Mrs Louise Miller, aged 3% of 15 Charter Oak Place, Hartford —and rs. Nellie Damforth, aged 42. of 4 Noble avenue, Bridgeport, were erch fined §$20 and costs on charges of drunkenness anl frequenting. | Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods asked that Mrs Smith be sent to jail. “This is probably one of the most disgraceful cases to come into this court in some years' he de-| clared. “These people flaunted their degeneracy. their filth, their licen- | tiousness right in the heart of the| city. Their morals are so low they | are not fit to associate with decent people. This Smith woman sur-| rounded herself by these other liber- | tines, making her home a r!‘ndez-‘ vous. A fine state of affairs for New Britain." | Judge Saxe, however, said he viewed it as an isolated case, after | Sergeant Stadler on being recalled to | the witness stand, said in reply to | questions, that he knew nothing of | {he reputation of the tenement prior | to this morning. Judg Saxe remark- ed that none of those arrested could | find anything about their actions to| be proud of. One Bets Shirt, Other Bets Pants The police learned of the poker game about 12:20 o'clock when Of-| ficer McCue saw a few men on the street mear the building, listening. He. joined them and heard a woman say: “I'll bet my shirt,” to which a man answered: “I'll bet my pants.” The officer called Officer Keough, who listened for a few minutes and then Sergeant Stadler was summon- ed. There were several men listen- ng when the sergeant arrived short- | ly after 12:35 o'clock, and occupants of the adjoining tenement block were leaning out of the windows listening to the revelry. Sergeant | Stadler waited until he heard a| woman declare that she held four | aces and would not remove her last article of wearing apparel, while a | man insisted that he held a royal | flush, beating four aces and insisting | that the woman pay according to| the rules of the game. Found Partly Clad Entering the tenement which is on the floor above the stores on the | ground floor, Sergeant Stadler and | Officers Tllynn, Harper, Keough and | McCue found Mrs. Miller sitting | away from the card table with a single article of underclothing on, and one of the men, partially cloth- | ed, beside her, while Mrs. Dam- forth, also scantily attired, was sit- ting nearby, with her feet hanging over the arm of a chair, and one of the men near her. Both women, ac- | cording fo the police, were into: cated.

The constitution itself makes no | provision for such a contingency but it does clothe the chief exccutive | with emergency powers to set aside temporarily even constitutional guar- antees where a situation grave | cnough to warrant that action arises. The much discussed problem of | providing a president within consti- cutive power at the conclusion of President Calles’ term is capable of servers here believe. Among these is the possibility that | the amendment to the no reelection | provision of the constitution inter- | preting it to mean that a president could be reelected only after at least | one other presidential term had in-| tervened might be reconstrued to| extend the present term of General | Calles to six years instead of four. In that event he would serve two more years after December 1 next. There was considerable debate in regard to the meaning of the six| year term amendment when it was! attached to the constiution.

Referring to an interpretation of the pact covered in a supplemental note from Secretary Kellogg, the Polish note said: “the Polish gov- ernment takes note of the following statements:—First, that the pact does not carry any attempt against !the right of legitimate defense of each state, second, that any etate signatory to the pact which would lattempt to realize its national aims by means of war would be deprived | of the benefits of the aforesaid pact land third that there exists no in- | compatibility between the pact's { anti-war stipulations and the obliga- {tions derived from the league of na- |tions pact for members of the !league.” | 1In concluding. the note says: “The | Polish government takes the liberty of expressing the hope that it will witness in the nearest future the irealization of that great common task of peace and stabilization which |is destined to bestow its benefits lul"on all humanity." { Plan Not Yet Selected | Washington, July 15.—(P—Ac- ceptance of Secretary Kellogg's | proposals for a multilateral treaty | renouncing war by the nations which , with the United States would com- i prise the original signatories to the | i pact virtually was completed today when the British note was handed |to the American charge in London | speaking not only for the London { government itself but also for the Australian, New Zealand, Indian and South African units of the British commonwealth.
