New York Police Break the Penal
Code,

New York, April 1.-THE police commits
sioners are Hurried by the discovery that
under the penal code last nights gambling
raids ure illegal. The code authorizes the
seizure Of gambling tools only where the
owner is arrested ard couples directions as
to the manner of disposing them throughout
with procedure against the owner and the
destruction of material following his conyic-
ton. Inspector Byrnc claims that he acted
under warrants in his raids and he is protect
ed by them. The hope of the police seems
10 be that no owner will dare claim gambling
property for fear of arrest But il is suggest
ed by the lawyers that the department can
be sued for trespass and illegal abstraction OF
property and be made to pay damages.
