Constable Jack" Graham and gang
of deputized constables did make feint
at the business, it is true, the officers of
the association and the bookmakers be-
ing the objective point, but Graham and
his party were badly left, being unable to
gain admission to the track. The Dig
raid which had been carefully planned
was according knocked into a cooked hat
and the immense batch of complaints and
warrants which had been drawn by JUS
tice Lockwood went to waste. temporar-
ily, at least. Graham was accompanied
by Joe Hartford, Aleck Beatty, Ed.
Schultz. Murray, McCue, Borham, Full
lem and Ave others. They went to the
main entrance, and in the name OF Gne
law demanded admission, stating tna1
they had warrants TO serve.
"JJpon whom?" ased the gateman.
"Well, upon the Empire Club" replied
Graham.
"You can't come in here; and another
thing, you cannot arrest CLUB" inter-
posed Manager Carr.
"Well. we will get in," said Graham.
Mr.. Carr begged to differ with him and
war of words followed
WHO is THE EMPIRE CLUB
'I insist upon having the Empire Club,
yelled Graham.
"Who OF what is the Empire Clup"
asked some one.
HE is a light man with a light mus
tache," SAID one of Graham's intelligent
followers.
Graham was nonplussed. He hated to
be knocked out, and turning on Carr. he
roared:-
"Who are your"
A moment later Manager Carr caused
the onlookers to smile bv whistling that
popular air from De Wolff Hopper's
opera, wang" You Must Ask of the
Man in the Moon"
During the discussion two of Graham's
men had purchased admission tickets, but
before they had gone very far they were

leave.
Graham collected the warrants held by
his crowd, which called for such clubs as
the Empire, Atlantic, Baltic, Palisade,
Snow Shoe and Friendship, and ordered
his men to beat retreat.
They returned to No. 81 Bergenline ave-
nue., where Lockwood had established an
office, and reported the refusal of the
gentlemen to admit them.
LOCKWOOD'S WAR DANCE.
Lockwood did the skirt war dance in
ten different ways in about as many min

TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Superintendent Carr appeared before
Justice Lockwood this morning with his
counsel. Allan l.. McDermott, and gave
bail in the sum of $500. Mr.. McDermott
read the charges against Mr.. Carr and at
once waived examination. AssemblYman
Lawrence Pagan became security.
Justice Lockwood had very little to say
concerning the fruitless attempts of his
consta bles to raid the bookmakers yester-
day. He estimated, however, that every
man for whom he had issued warrant
had resisted arrest, and that the gatemen
had resisted the officers also.
CONFERENCE OF LAWYERS AND TRUCKMEN.
Immediately after Mr.. Carr's arraign-
ment Counsellor McDermott repaired to
ex-Judge Blair's Office in the Weldon
building and held private conference
with that gentleman for about an hour.
What the object of the conference was

Mr.. Blair's office, Mr.. McDermott con-
ferred with several prominent race track
men at Taylor's Hotel. That also was
private.
A raid will be made today, Justice

resistance will be arrested. The prospects
