BUFFALO, April I2.-Every turf exchange
was raided simultaneously in the afternoon
and the tail Of the ntigern was twisted SO
vigorously that the animal is in fairer
way to wear stripes than ever. Every place
was closed up like a flash, and the owners,
managers and employees taken into Gus
tody. The legal adviser of the council de
cided that the exchanges were illegal and
that they could not be licensed This be-
ing the case the police set to work securing
evidence. The police operators were de-
tailed to visit the rooms and listen to the
telegraph instruments for the purpose OF
obtaining evidence whether as the pool
room men claimed, the bets We're transmit
ted to the tracks They reported that no
messages Of such a nature were sent and
the police prepared for the raid.
The grand jury found the necessary in.
dictments, and bench warrants were at
once issued. The exchanges were in full
blast when the patrol wagons dashed up TO
the doors and squad Of police marched in
and locked the doors behind them There
was no time to escape, and the poolroom
men and their patrons we're caught like
rats in trap. The operatcxs We're calling
of the positions of the horses in the third
race at Guttenburg when the raid was
made. The greatest confusion followed.
The talent" yelled, the cashier gathered
the "boodle" and the police gathered in
everything they came after.
The money, the tally sheets and the
tickets were scooped up, the blackboards
ripped down, and all these, with the pro.
prietors and their clerks, were hustled into
the wagons and over to the city hall. In
all five rooms We're closed and forty-one
persons arrested. Among those indicted is
the well known baseball pitcher, Bob Barr.
The poolroom men say they viii open uT
as usual, and the police say they viii raid
them again if they do.
