ANOTHER GAME RAIDED.
Dave Argyle Is Arrested and His Tables
and Chips Seized.


and Chips Seized.
The police raided gambling game in
room SIS, of the Seattle National bank
building, last night at o'clock and ar
rested Dave Argyle. the proprietor of the
game, and seized the gaming parapher-
MALTA. The game has been running several
weeks, and is said TO be conducted by Dave
Argyle and Pop" Daley. The same place
was raided several days ago and four ar
, rests were made.
For almost two weeks Detective Cudihee
has been aware that game was in progress
in the building mentioned, and the raid
last evening was made under his direc-
ton. 1t was reported that the gambling
was being run behind barred doors, and
before players were admitted they were
put through severe questioning. In
order to comply with the law should it be
found necessary to knock down the doors
a search warrant was sworn out before
Judge Rivers early last evening.
At 9o'clock Detective Cudihee, armed
with the search warrant and accompanied
by Chief Jackson, Captain Sims, Lieuten-
ant Thorn, Detective Cave and Officer
Roberts, went to the place where the
games were in progress. Detective Cave
was armed with two heavy jimmies, and
the officers were fully prepared to break
in the doors should they meet with resist
ance. Cudihee knocked on the door of
room 3l5, and demanded admittance. A
delay of few minutes occurred, and the
officers were about to set to work with the
jimmies, when the door was suddenly
opened and the officers filed in.
1t was evident that two games had been
running but a moment before. There
were ten persons in the two rooms open
ing into room 315, and they were all
badly frightened. Dave Argyle was
placed under arrest. and the other nine
men were allowed to go, for none OF the
officers saw them gambling, and conse-
quently there was no case against them.
The patrol wagon was called and two
heavy faro tables, with chips and gaming
tools, aggregating in value $500. were
seized, placed in the wagon and taken to
police headquarters.
Argyle gave bail in the sum of s75. He
will be arraigned before Judge Rivers for
trial today.

THE TACOMA sTREET-CAE STRIKE.
A Tie-Up OF nm Hour Settled by Presi1
dent sehuIze's Ouick Action.

TACOMA, April Especial. The i'm
pending strike OF the Tacoma Railway IL
Motor Company came to focus this
morning. When the time came for run
ming out the cars not car was manned
and the majority of the conductors and
motormen took up positions on the track
leading from the house. They looked de-
terIninsd and did not offer to bulge when
Superintendent Tihbits jumped on a car
and started from the house. A few of the
men gave way, but the leaders held their
ground.
President Schulze was soon on hand
with Chief Ellis, of the police. Schulze
started TO advise with the men and told
them be would concede any reasonable
demand rather than see the road tied up.
He then explained the situation to the
chief, and General Manager Craigin talked
to the men. After a little more
talking the leaders Of the movement
were asked what they wanted, and were
given fifteen minutes in which to explain
their action. They stated their case, and
the motor company making fair conces-
sion, the men advanced half way and an
agreement 10 last till the months end
was reached. That is, the total paw roll
should not fall below that of the previous
one, and in case it should the difference
would be divided pro rata among the men.
This was satisfactory and the cars were
soon all IN motion.
There was rumor that the company
contemplates reprisals against those who
took an active and impertinent part in
the trouble. but there is not a word of
truth in it, as all the old men may go
back to work. and, pending no further
difficulty, may retain their positions az
long as they do good work

to the Nelson d Fort Shepherd line seek
