EVIDENCE OF A QUIET TIP.

For the past two weeks policy shops have
been in operation in this city. Information
to this effect reached the ear of Chief Ser
Niss a few days ago. and Detectives Wilson
and March were detailed TO secure evil
dence against the proprietors of these
"joints." The two officers located the
headquarters of the policy concern in the
Hansen opera bouse on Central avenue.
and branch shops were found at No. Cen
trail avenue, No. lilJ North Fifth street.
and at the corner of Third street and oak

These facts were all ascertained Satur-
day night, and the city authorities planned
raid for yesterday. The drawings took
place at IL o'clock in the morning and

ton of the police to raid the headquarters

someone SaFe the policy men UP that
the police intended to raid the shop. and
they succeeded in getting all of the play
ers out of the house before the police ar
rived. However, Chief Serviss claims that
he has sufficient evidence against the pro-
prietors TO convict them.
AL Baker. it is claimed. is at the head
of the concern. The authorities have no
evidence against him, and 1t is likely that
he will escape punishment. Some OF his
employees will in all probability be handled
without mercy. George Premier. who was
arrested while In charge of the shop in
the Hansen house, was arraigned before
