Didn't Say Lottery Policies.

Five alleged policy dealers were dis
charged in the Adams Street Police

cause a policeman. who had gathered
what was considered conclusive evidence
against them, failed to swear that they
had violated the code by selling lot

Bergen street station. In an affidavit
upon which the warrants for the prison.
ers were granted, Dowd swore that he
had entered their stores and bought
gigs"
Ex-Assemblyman Jimmy" oliver, Of
this city, who represented Roman. tried
to make the officer admit that he had
attempted to induce the defendants to
commit a crime. The officer said he
had not held out any special induce
ments.
What did you buy when you called
at these places?" asked Justice Walsh.
"A Slip, was the reply
What kind of 'slIp?'
"a gig"

"Three numbers

An attempt was made in other ways
to get the policeman to designate his
purchases as lottery policies" but he
failed to do so, and upon this techni-
caltty the men were discharged.

secure various important privileges, al

All the past grand high priests will
take part n the Topeka gathering. In
addition to them there will be a repre-
sentation of every grand chapterin the
republic, comprising the three council
officers Of every one of them. This
council does not meet frequently, and
rs such concourse OF masonic dignity
Is not witnessed oftener than once
every three years, the interest of the
fraternity in it may be understood.
The convention was to have been
held some weeks ago, but owing TO the
strike and the consequent impossibility
Of securing transportation for the del
egates, the general grand chapter post
poned the gathering until the date
named above.
However, it is likely that the neces-
sary p6stponement Will only result in
more distinguished gathering than
might have been the case otherwise.
The state of Maryland viii have the
honor of sending the most exalted
member of the convocation: Comp.

er Daniel Striker. Nor is there dearth
OF distinguished membership from the
east, not to speak of members who owe
their Preeminence to what has been ao-
complished by them in the lower ranks
OF the masonic hierarch. There are,
for instance, David F. Day, past gen
eral grand high priest, William J. Ne
Donald, who Is deemed the most popu-
lar mason personally among the royal
arch members, Thomas c. Cassidy,
Richard II. Parker, of Syracuse, n. Y,

that so large a part of the time Of the
