BAIL MONEY IN THIS CITY.
Wholesale Arrests Expected at
Linden Track This Af-
ternoon.

lsWhen Mike Dwyer, the turfman, was
arraigned bsfore Justice Weed on Thurs
day last, Justice Weed said to him in fix
ing the bail:-"You can appear before
Justice Frazee in Railway any time to-
morrow after nine in the morning or be-
fore four in the afternoon" The bail re-
quired was 500, and Justice Weed ac-
cepted cash deposit. When Mr.. Dwyer
appeared before Justice Frazee at Railway
yesterday at three O'Clock that dignitary
dismissed the complaint because none of
the complainants were present. This
Justice Weed says was hardly the proper
thing to do, for it is always necessary
that the complainanss be notified of the
time of hearing and how could the plain
tiffs be present when they were unaware
of the time of hearing.
At six O'Clock last night one of DIV yer's
employees, whose name is Price, appeared
in Justice Weeds office with an order
from Justice Frazee for the delivery OF
the cash deposit of 500 made
by. Mr.. Dwyer. Justice Weed
refused to deliver the money saying
bond which forwarded to Railway Is
returned to me-" He has not as yet re-
ceived the bail bond. Meantime the war
goes merrily on.
All the bookmakers at the Linden track
are to be harvested today, through DE
Lacy's efforts. Last night a warrant
issued by Justice Frazee was brought to
Justice Weed for endorsement but he re-
fused to endorse the warrant because OF
its defective construction In some way,
however, De Lacy seems to nave hard
time of it in his efforts to aid the Law and
Order league.
Last Saturday night when Justice
Weeds force Of sixteen men brought two
bookies as prisoners to his Office, fourteen
of the bookmakers were in Albers' saloon
drinking to the kind fate that had made
possible their escape. At nine O'Clock in
formation OF their presence in the city
reached Justice Weeds office, but when
he sent to Albers' the bookmakers were
only memory. Their escape from ar
rest put them on the alert. and now they
reach the race tracks in all manner of
ways and shapes.
In talking about the recent arrest OF
De Lacy for conspiracy, Justice Weed
said:-.What blockheads those justices
must be. Why De Lacy has never sworn
to a warrant issued curing this recent
crusade. 1t is difficult to say what is
squirting De Lacy on to the i'm
mense amount of work he is doing
the Dwyers. whether 1t is
financial or personal grievance, for he
has both. After closing his place in New
York the Dwyers will not now permit
him to enter any OF their tracks. There
is IA law In this State aimed especially
against the Pinkertons, which prohibits
the employing of any nonresident OF the
State as special officer. This does not
prevent the Dryers employing the Pink
ertons at their race tracks in this State.
."rhe.manner in which the Dryers eyade
the law is to call these Pinkerton police
men ushers. When De Lacy obtains adj
mittance 10 Dwyer race track he is i'm
mediarely spotted, and about six of these
ushers grab him and. telling him that his
presence is disagreeable, rush him out OF
the gate.
'4Ihis.war against.the Dryers was begun
last fall and reopened last Saturday. AL
though thus far DeLacy has not mad III
easy road, all the indications are that he
will persist"
Justice Weed had deposited with him
about 81, 500 bail money which has all beer
returned, as the bookmakers have re
newed their bail at Railway to appear be
fore the next Grand Jury.
