POOL ROOM Was RAIDED
Center Street Gamblers Escape With
More Speed Than Grace.
FLED WITHOUT COATS OR HATS
County Detective Lcyshon Makes u Great
Haul at the Electric News and Money
Transfer Company-IIc Confis.
Gated All the Apparatus.

Officers of the law yesterday swooped
down upon the pool room conducted for
the past two years at 307 and 300 Center
street under the name of the Electric
News and Money Transfer company,
and three individuals connected with it
were arrested, and all of the black
boards, charts, papers. etc, found in
the place were confiscated, and except
the telegraph instrument, are securely
locked in the Office Of District Attorney
John Il. Jones, in the court house. The
ticker was turned over to the manager
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany.
The raid was made yesterday after
noon at o'clock by County Detective
Thomas Leyshon on information to be-
fore Alderman Wright He was assist
ed by State Detectives Anthony Scan
Ion, jr.. of this city, and Holland, Of
Beech Haven. Two warrants. a search
warrant, and one for running a gam
bling house, were procured, and Mr..
Leyshon, accompanied by Detectives
Scanlon and Holland, visited the place.
1t waa at an hour when the pool room
was in full blast. But the gamblers
suspected that trouble was in store for
them, and it is said that a "spotter"
was kept on the lookout. The three
officers took different paths 50 as not to
arouse suspicion and they met together
at the entrance almost unaware to the
denZens inside But the frequenters
just got the right tip in time.
They Took Leg Bail
County Detective Leyshon was the
first TO enter and the panorama spread
before his gaze was well calculated to
make him smile. Every available ave-
nue. of escape was a picture frame for
disappearing coat tail. The ap-
prOach of the officers was the signal for
Il stampede and before any of the men
playing the races could be captured
every one of them had hied himself out
of sight.
But the individuals connected with
the rooms stood their ground and We're
taken in tow by the officers. They are
Joseph Gleason, of New York, man
ager; Edward Gleason, his nephew; NJ.
:. Jordan and Charles III. Drehr, who
presided at the telegraph instrument.
They We're brought before Alderman
Wright and they waived a hearing,
each furnishing bail in the sum of $500.
DR.. William Haggerty qualified as their
bondsman. Attorneys OBrien and
Kelley We're engaged to represent the
pool room men, and a legal battle will
be fought to determine whether or not
this concern can legally carry on bust

AMONG The UNIVERSITIES
The Pedagogue is Coming More
and More into Prominencs.
Mt. Perry's Interesting Pamphlet
Compiled for His Law Class.
Prof. Davis Lectures.

DR.. A. P. Montague, dean OF the Colum-
bian, read an able paper on the position of
the educator among professionals at the
educational convention at Atlanta last
week. II is curious to note that the peda-
gogue is coming more and more into promi-
nence. OF our public men, except those
whose title to distinction Is their wealth,
a goodly number Of them founded their ca
reers in the schooiroom.
1t would seem that tue schoolmaster is
abroad for something more than his health.
He no longer devotes himself to his STU
dents solely and dies mute and inglorious.
He S daily asserting his personality.
While no less care is devoted to form the
minds of his scholars, he enters the wide
forum Of thought aud guides personally
the actions of society. Furthermore, the
emolumeuts OF his office are somewhat COM
inensurate with tue work rendered.
No longer can he be said to be i'll paid,
and as they have advanced more aud more
have they stopped To aid their brethren.
The hope of labor and the solution OF the
burning economic questions are in their
hands. The educator is now the strongest
bulwark between rapacious wealth and
intolerant socialism. This position is be-
coming generally recognized.

And her lips have curious twist:

And think that she's been kissed.
One big puff sleeve is pressed quite flat;
There's a small red mark on her wrist,
There's singular tilt to her turban hat,
And think that she's been kissed.

And put one mare On the list.

counts among its members the same people

which is difficult of success, impossible
almost, except for those who have carriages.
Why the links are being laid there is a
question that only those high in authority
on such matters could possibly answer.
