could be learned from him about whether
| the trainmen will go out or not. Rumor
says they will.
At one A NJ, officials of the Lake Shore
and LacRawanna roads said that they
knew OF no such resolve and that the men
were still working.
At ten minutes to two A. NJ, however,
the Lake Snore switchmen quit work. A
gang of them were seen and said they had
been ordered out, and that the Lacka-
wanna switchmen would follow them in
less than half an hour.
Seven switch engines in the South Buff
falo yard, usually working at that hour,
We're idle.

At $40 A. NJ. there was no change in
the situation. 1t was not then believed
that the Lackawanna switchmen would
strike before daylight.
At latest advices after that hour the
Lackawanna and Nlckel-Plate men were

Captain Hayes of Hoboken Has a Queer
Idea of Policy Suppression.
Detective Goode, of the Hoboken Police
was busy again this morning arresting
policy dealers in that city. Yesterday
there were fifteen arrested. Warrants
had been issued for twenty-one and De-
teetive Goode expects to arrest them all
today. AS soon as the men ara arrested
they are arreigned before Acting Recor-
der Rusch and give bail for the Grand
Jury. Then they go out and open up
their shops again. This spasmodic raid
is directly the result of Police Commits
soner's Utz's crusade against the policy
shops. 1t is not believed that the raid
will have the slightest effect
Captain Hayes says that the police have
done their duty and that now it remains
to be seen whether the next Grand Jury
will indict the policy men on the evidence
which the police will be prepared to pre-
sent,
''The police have been accused of dis
elimination in making arrests" said the
Captain this morning. NOW we have
arrested every policy dealer in the city
without fear or favor and l think we
have done our duty"

ALL QUIET HERE.

If Ordered Out the Men Will Go, But
They Do Not Want to.
Up to noon today there was absolutely
no indication of a strike among the
switchmen in the Erie yards of this city.
A rup7or went forth this morning that
the switchmen would strike at twelve
O'Clock. At one O'Clock the long freight
trains were moving with their customary
precision.
A talk with the yardmaster and various
sub-bosses shows that there is absolutely
no apprehension of strike. And in the
event of a strike the company is ready TO
fill the places of the men who may
strike.
A talk with the switchmen themselves
leads to the belief that they hope they
will not be ordered out They do not be-
long to the Switchmen's Association, and
there is a fear that 'drifters" or 'Jrav-
ellers" are in readiness to take their
places.
Nevertheless the members of the Asso-
citation are saying nothing, but appar-
emily they are saving wood. Ii ordered
out, those who belong to the SwItchmen's
Association will go, and the Association
includes many men employed as brake
men in the yard.
In the event of strike an alarm will
be rung from box No. 60 of the fire alarm
telegraph. Box No. SO is at present in
diSuse.

FIVE YEARS.
The Sentence Imposed on Doctor
Bragg.

The Sentence Imposed on Doctor
Bragg.
In department one of the superior
court, CDR" B. F. Bragg, the half-b blood
Cherokee quack. who was recently con-
victed of forgery, was yesterday SEN
fenced to five years imprisonment in the
San Quentin penitentiary. Bragg's
crime was in forging the name of one
Vejar to an instrument conveying cer-
tain property. He is also charged with
causing Esperanza d'Abila to falsifv the
county records so as to make them coin
eide with the fraudulent deed.
When Bragg was called upon to re.
ceive his sentence, his counsel moved
for new trial on the ground that one
of the jurymen was deputy sheriff,
and therefore supposedly prejudiced.
The juryman referred to was A.. B.
Phillips, an evangelist, and he at once
filed counter affidavit in which he
stated that he did missionary work in
slums, and that he had had himself ap-
pointed special deputy simply in order
to clothe himself with the authority to
make an arrest, After taking the mat
ter under consideration, the court de-
MED the motion for new trial. BTagg's
counsel then made motion in arrest of
judgment, but this too was denied.
The court then asked the prisoner
whether he was ready for sentence.
Bragg melodramatically raised his hand
skyward, and asked the Lord to witness
that he was guiltless.
II am not in the habit of sentencing
innocent PERSONS" remarked the court
coldly. The sentence was then pro-
nounced as stated.
If Bragg is convicted on the second
charge also, he will obtain sentence
which will practically be one for life, as
the "doctor" is no longer young.
