RAIDS WILL NOT BE NECESSARY TO PROSECUTION.
CONFERENCE ON SITUATION
Mayor Holtzman issued orders to the poltee to-day that If (ramblers open their hcuses they are to be arrested as common gamblers. If this Is done the gamblers can be prosecuted on their reputations without the formality of making raids on their places. A meeting of the mayor. Chairman Madden, of the Board of Safety, and Superintendent of Police Kruger was held in the mayor’s office in the courthouse shortly before noon and this course was decided upon. The conference was the result of an article in a morning paper to the effect that a gum- . bling syndicate had opened a number of dens and that gambling In the city is running full blast. Superintendent Denies Story. Superintendent Kruger denied the story by saying that none of the gamblingbouaes wua open as alleged He said the patrolmen and sergeants, under the personal supervision of Captain Hyland, had gone through the gambling-houses nightly. None of them was found open, nor was there any evidence that they were running before the arrival of the police. The prltten reports of tho, roundsmen were shown, and. according to them, all tho known gambling-houses were visited twloe to three times each night, it is alleged that Fred Heier and John Shea have opened their gambling-houses In South New Jersey street and.Pearl street, respectively, also games in the Lorraine Hotel and the Cleveland Club, and that Qus Rahke was running his game at the Fair grounds, and Bill Kissel had again opened "the old place over the livery stable In Weat Market street.” Vldt to Heier's Place, The police reports show that Heier’s places was visited as late as 2 o'clock this morning. "The old place over -the livery ■table in West Market street," where Kissel fitted up $2,000 gambling-rooms about a year ago, is now used by a mercantile establishment. The building was remodeled several months ago and Kissel's furnishings were lorn out. Superintendent Kruger said, before the conferance In th» mayor's office w'as called, that he would oot permit gambling Jo go on. and that all the known places In the city would be visited dally. The mayor was closeted with Superintendent Kruger and Mr. Madden for more than an hour discussing the situation. At the close. Mr. Holtzman said that the gamblers might as well, understand at the start that no gambling would be permitted. He referred to the published statement, saying: ’ While 1 do not say that none of It Is true—because the gamblers are apt to play at times when the police are not around—I will say that 1 Am satisfied with the reports of the police. I will say this,” continued the mayor. raising his finger warningly, “that If these gamblers persist In running their games, we will arrest them as common gamblers."' Mr. Holtzman said the conference was called fpr the purpose of discussing the reports that the gambling-houses were open. He said Mr. Madden’s views entirely agreed with his own. “If Situation Looked Promising.’’ Last Friday a former professional gambler who still associates with the game keepers, said Heier and Shea were contemplating opening their games Saturday night If the "situation looked promising.’' He said they had made arrangement* with "T.” Thompson and Bill Owsley to run a poker game at the Lorrntne» and also the poker tables at the Cleveland Club In case they decided to open: He said Bill Kissel was "small potatoes" with the gamblers of the city, sad that he was not expected to open
again.
Poker is played at the Cleveland Club by "members, who use money instead of chips, he said. They can put their money In their pockets and pretend to be playing ‘‘cinch" when the police call. Superintendent Kruger said he was satisfied that this was the plan adopted at the Cleve-
in the lA>rr;‘ine Hotel be mid, "and I have
had Investigations which did not result in arrests. Captain Hyland and a detail Of patrolmen have visited the hotel when- | I ever they count get a tip on the num- ! her of the room In which the game was ; said to be running We could not find the! I game If there was one. Hyland has) I searched the hotel from basement t<> the j garret, and he has never been able to j | find a game. All the regular gambling- ! houses have been visited as often as the] patrolmen could he snared, many of the ] houses two anu three times u night." Scoffs at Suggestion of “Tipping.” Superintendent Kruger scoffed at. the] idea that any one "tipped off" the visits , of the police to the gamblers. The patrol- 1 men as a rule do not know where they | are going when Instructed to meet the j sergeants or the night captain, lie said. 1 In the Police Court to-day' John and !

Argument in Federal Court on a
Question of Guardianship. Argument was resumed before Judge Anderson, of the Federal Court, this morning In the suit of Frederick Chase, father and guardian of Moses jFowler Chase, asking an accounting of tli property of the young millionaire b.t the Duhmes while they were acting as his
guardians.
The case was argued to-day on the petition of Frederick Chase to substitute a complaint naming him as general guardian of the young man s estate, instead of temporary guardian. The elder Chase was first appointed temporary guardian by the Benton county court and later at Cincinnati Chase was made general guardian. Attorneys for the Duhmes today argued that the general guardian should not be allowed to substitute a complaint for the temporary guardian, ns this would extend the limits of the suit. Their contention Is that as temporary guardian. Chase could only ask for an accounting of property located in Beinton county, where he was named as guardian. The amended complaint which Chase wishes to file asks for an accounting of all prop

The Closing Testimony. In the closing testimony for the defense many witnesses stated that the reputation of the place in the rear of Tron’s saloon was not that of a gambling-house. One of these witnesses was John Morgan, a member of the police department. Morgan was reduced from the rank of a detective to that of a patrolman recently and he took leave of absence for sixty
days.
The session was opened with a demand on the part of Prosecutors Benedict and Holmen that the attorneys for the defense produce the telegrams mentioned in the evidence of witnesses who said messages relative to bets were sent to a bookmaker in Covington, Ky., and the answers received. The motion was over-
ruled
Sol Hathaway, editor of the Independent. testified that the reputation of the place was not that of a gambling-house. With the next breath he said he did not consider betting on racehorses as gambling. Sam Rubens and E. W. Stucky said they had never heard Toomey’s place spoken of as a gambling-house. W. C. Dickson, who testified In a similar strain. 1 said during cross-examination that he had heard persons say that Toomey s place was not a gambling-house. He could not remember names, however. Ed J. Robison said he had heard people say that tbeie was no gambling in Toomey's place. In answer to a question by the prosecutor he said he had heard It called
a poolroom.

Says County will Profit.
"The contractor will not profit by tills change of plans, but the county will. I think eight or ten thousand dollars will be saved to the county. The statement that lopping off so many feet at the base would be a great advantage to the contractor is not true. After once passing the low water mark the last foot is no more difficult or costly than the first foot. This deduction by which I say the county will save money is not made on a pro rata basis, as some people may suppose. Contractors in bidding reckon on so much
for the stone laid above low water mark j McPhetridge.

"As far as the clause in the contract requiring a forfeit from the contractors .of $50 for each day after the contract \ime has expired is concerned, I don't intend to be the ruin of any firm. Fife & Son have had a bard time of it. The weather conditions have been unfavorable to a remarkable extent, ho less than fourteen floods having hindered the work. "We have photographs of the wbrk while the Hoods were surrounding it. and each picture is marked with the date of the flood. I don't propose that Fife & Son shall suffer any more than they have. With fair weather, three weeks more will see the completion of the bridge.’’ The contract's provision that $50 should be forfeited for each dax - after September 1, 1902.
