Four Officers Went on the warpath

As the result of three raids in the Eighth
precinct early yesterday morning and last
night, a long list of prisoners names line
the blotter at No. 8 station.
About l O'Clock yesterday morning the
house Of Victor Lofts. No. 2047 Seventh
street northwest. was raiced by quartet.
composed OF Officers Willingham. Stro-
man, Barill, and Hawser. When the blue
coats made their appearance here, six
greatly surprised negroes were taken IN
custody.
The cards and beer. which figured con-
spicuously in the scene, were also taken
in charge by the raiding party AT the
station the men gave their names as Victor
Lofts, Frank MattingIy, Fred. McAleer.
Charles Benner. Charles Opdyke, and Viii

Droit Park. The stable is divided into two
sections, in one OF which the horses were
stalled, while the other was used for
keeping vegetables and fruit. George
williams, who was left in charge of the
place invited his pals into the stable
last night and vigorous game of crap
ensued.
Those who were not so thoroughly en-
raptured with the game helped themselves
freely to the different kinds OF fruit Just
as things Were reaching climax, the police
men appeared and succeeded in capturing
George Williams. Edward wallach. Jessie
Page, John White, William johnson, and
Edward Ciphers. Each was locked up at

"PoP" ANsoN WILL SUE.
Says Hoyt and Mckee Are Indebted
to Him In the Sum of $4,000.

Saws Hoyt and Mckee Are Indebted
to Him In the Sum of $4,000.
The once admiring friends, Hoyt & Mckee
and Capt. A. C. Anson, are no longer held
by the common tie of baseball friendship.
Since the disastrous season OF "a Runaway
Colt'' the gulf has been widening between
the two parties. The elimination came
Saturday, when Hoyt & Mckee received
a letter from Chicago lawyer notifying
them that unless they made a settlement
with Auson forthwith the latter would sue
them for $4,000 damages.
sFrank'' Mckee cannot understand how
Arson has been damaged $4,000, when
the show dropped $4,000 in eight
weeks. Now Mckee proposes to make Capt.
Anson's baseball campaign OF this summer
more than usually lively. If the baseball
actor makes good his threat and sues Hoyt
& Mckee for damages, he will bring about
a complication that viii be decidedly in
teresting and attractive, for he was a
partner with Hoyt & Mckee in the show
to the extent Of q one-eighth interest.
Mckee says he will file cross petition and
secure judgment against Uncle" for
one-eighth OF the losses, which will be
$500 Then when Arson comes East
with his Chicago colts next summer there
will be extremely interesting proceedings
awaiting him in New York and Boston
especially in Boston-where a judgment
debtor can be locked up till the judgment
is paid.
There was q time, not three months ago,
when Charley Hoyt talked about buying
the New York Club and placing Anson in
charge of it. Both ends of that plan are
off now, and the ice between the genial
playwright ard the ambitious aspirant for
BOOTHS cloak is SO thick that it would be
perfectly safe4o run up the red ball.

Not Responsible for Many Disasters
That Overtake Them.
New York Sun.
Discussing the grounding OF the American
liner st. Paul on Saturday, the agent OF a
rival Atlantic liner said:
1.-THE newspapers that jump up and howl
that this accident was due to the fact that
the st. Paul was racing with the Campania,
and then print long stories about the crime
of ocean racing, simply don't know what
they are talking about. Why, you know
and everybody else who will stop a moment
to think will see that the big liners are al
ways racing-that they have to race.
''The moment the boats on Our line or
any other line reach Sandy Hook going out
they put on all steam and go it for all they
are worth. They don't go bit faster be-
cause another boat happens to be in sight.
They can't go any faster. II they don't
do their best on all occasions they wouldn't
get the postal contracts and they would
lose the government subsidies.
Another reason they get there as quick
as they can is that the quicker the trip is
made the less money it costs the company"

Fitzsimmons and Maher have both ex-

both state that they are not candidates

any preparation having been made in that
direction for the carnival.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-Ullman &
Rankin. a well known firm OF book
makers, have just posted betting odds
on the coming Presidential election.
As these odds have been prepared by
careful spectators who make bust
ness Of that sort of thing, they may be
regarded as showing how professional
bettors value the chances of the lead
ing candidates. The quotations show
that the spectators have no doubt Of
the election Of Mckinley, as they offer
2I5 TO in his favor on the general re-
suit. They are even more confident
that the Ohio man will carry New
York State, the odds on him being s
TO l.
The figures also indicate a belief on
the part of the bOokies that Mckinley
will carry several States heretofore
regarded as doubtful and that he will
have a substantial majority in the
Electoral College. Some of the odds
offered are: General result, 212 to l
on Mckinley; New York City, even
on Mckinley; California, even on Nc
Kinley; Kentucky, even on Mckinley;
Maine, 4 TO ! on Mckinley; Maryland,
