"POLICY" is WIDE OPEN.
Two Concerns Running Games Daily
Police Do Not Interfere.

For two years now, in fact, ever since
Mayor Taggart assumed office, the seduc-
tive game known policy has been
played openly in the city. 1t is maintained
that there is scarcely a policeman on the
force who does not know it and not only
the men who run the games, but their rum
ners are we'll known to the police. The
drawings purport to be at Louisville and
Frankfort, KY, every noon and evening"
One James Ross, with headquarters over
Weiss's saloon on Meridian street, works
the city for the Frankfort game and Dun
can & Hestor, negroes located on Indiana
avenue work the Louisville snap They
employ colored men as runners and these
men have regular routes they go over
morning and afternoon picking up any
where from Is cents to dollar from vic
Tins along the line.
Acting upon the information of one of
these victims, a Journal representative yes
terday stationed himself at a secondhand
store on Massachusetts avenue and about
HIS he was engaged in talking with
group with the policeman on the beat in
front of the store, when a negro was seen
walking along rapidly down the street AS
soon as the officer saw him he walked away
and left the policy sharp a clear field. The
gentleman of color accepted quarter each
from two of the party and fifty cents from
third, taking their combinations of figures
and explaining the intricacies of the game
for the benefit of the new sucker" He
was working for the Duncan & Hestor COM
bination and declared that Ross was SIM
ply working a bootleg" whatever that
may be in the vernacular of the game.
Later in the day Ross's runner made the
same observation concerning the Duncan &
Hestor game. Shortly after 1 o'clock the
containing two columns of figures, which
he said had been drawn at noon and of
course none of the investors found their
claimed that these concerns do a thriving
business, each of them picking up from $50
to $50 per day in indianapolis. Nobody has
been known to win anything.

he must not be brought before the board
again. T. c. Kennaugh resigned Aug.
under similar condition of affairs. j. z.
Laughl1n, an officer with a very good rec
ord, was before the board on the same old
charge Sept. l. In consideration of his past
good conduct, he was let off with a fine of
ten days pay and a severe reprimand.
There were two charges against G. T.
Dunn when he appeared before the board
with his partner, ]. T. Green, Sept. Z. Mrs.
Frances Dildine charged Dunn with assault
and battery on her son. John Jackson
charged both officers with unbecoming con-
duct and drinking on duty. This was the
case in which two officers were charged
with attempting to force their attentions en-
young woman Dunn was found guilty in
both cases. For his association with Dunn
in the jackson case Green was fined fifteen
days pay. Albert Miller was before the
board at the same time for assault and bat
terry on Edward Denman, a New York
newspaper man Miller was fined ten days
pay reprimanded and admonished Ito be
more careful of the use Of liquor"
There were many other trials from Jan.
i to Sept. 13. officers were charged with
unbecoming conduct, sometimes trivial
charges, when their cases were dismissed
on the recommendation of Superintendent
Colbert At other times the trials brought
to light gross neglect of duty and incom-
potency and some outrageous cases OF I'M
due ofiiciousness. In the Jackson case men
toned above it was charged that Patrolmen
Dunn and Green went to the mans house
without warrant and forced themselves
through the door, He charged that they
giving satisfactory explanation as to the
object of their visit. Last April Henry G.
Schroeder and Timothy Crannon were
charged with unbecoming conduct by Ryhul
Bybee who complained that the officers
forced themselves into his house at mid
night and searched the entire premises for
improper characters, even forcing their way
into the room where he was bathing; M:
A Downing, president of the Board of
Works. was one of a large number of prom
inent citizens who certified to Bybee's char
acter. The officers were found not guilty.
Some officers have been brought before the
board many times for failing to pay their
debts. Patrick j. Curran was dismissed for
striking a prisoner that was under arrest.
The board found he was justified in max
ing the arrest, but it was the fourth time
he had been before the board, and the rec
ord says that he violated the rules when he
struck the prisoner and he was dismissed.
A case that caused considerable comment
was that Of a fireman who had been dis
missed for drunkenness, but who was rein
stated on the recommendation of Chief Bar
rett. Persons who heard of it and knew
the circumstances said that it did not
tend to create respect on the part of pa
trolmen for the boards rule against drink
ing. John Tanning was put back on the
fire force April IS.

The Crowding of the schools.

1t is said that the schools in some parts
of the city are so crowded that all the
children of school age are not able to enter
and that some Protestant parents are send
ing their children to the Roman Catholic
parochial schools on this account. Inquiry
at the office of the superintendent fails
TO corroborate this statement. 1t was
learned that a few schools are slightly
crowded. but not more so than is usual at
the beginning of the school year 1t is the
practice to make no transfers until after
the second week has expired This rule is
adopted in order that the schools may have
time to enroll all the pupils who expect to
attend. Transfers are now being made and
1t is believed in a few days there will be
no schools uncomfortably crowded

His Trial Will Occur Next Monday
Afternoon.

The case of Police Superintendent Colbert
has been set down for trial by the Board
Of Public Safety for next Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock. There have been no new
Developments. The superintendent spent
the day at home yesterday and was re-
ported to be in a very serious condition
Mayor Taggart said last night that moth
ing further had developed. He did not
care to discuss reports that the superin-
tendent would resign.
When Mr.. Colbert resigned a good posi-
ton with the Indianapolis Brewing Com
pany to accept the superintendent some
of his friends expressed good deal of re-
greet. He handled the company's mortgages
and mortgaged property at that time There
was a movement on foot yesterday to have
him engage in private business and ii was
reported that he had been offered a good
situation with a salary that would be an
inducement to him to retire.

Pittsburg Aug. l9.-The striking min
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company
did not march. as they had planned to
do. At Turtle Creek they formed in
line and when ready to start they beheld
the deputies standing just outside OF the
camp so the march was abandoned and
small parties numbering from two to six
each were instructed to patrol the woods
in the vicinity of the mine and report
the number of men going to work. They
were instructed to keep moving and II
apprehended by the deputies to get away
rapidly, so as to escape the service OF the
injunction, if possible.
The leaders propose in this way to
harass the deputies and DeArmitt. They
say there are 10000 men i'll the district
and that the injunction will have to be
read 10000 times before the attacks upon
the mines at Oak HILL Sandy Creek and
Plum Creek cease. unless the mines are
sooner closed down.
The men followed instructions, but
were unable to learn just how many
diggers went into the pit. The output
of the Oak Hill mine yesterday was seven
cars of lump coal and two OF slack and
nut or about $50 tons. This shows a
gain for the company, though no claim
of increased force is made by DeArmitt
and the strikers claim that only p men
are at work.
a mass meeting of miners and citizens
has been called to be held at Monongahela
City tonight. Saturday afternoon meet
ing will be held at Canonsburg. Today
the miners of LaWrenceyille, Butler and
Warner will hold IA mass meeting at the
court house at Mercer. National Or
ganizer Cameron Miller will make an aid
dress. The heads of the various labor
organizations of the city will hold con
ference with the miners officials tomorrow
evening.

SITUATION LOOKS SERIOUS.
Wheeling Manufacturers Forced to
Shut Down for Lack of Fuel.

Wheeling. w Va, Aug. 19.-The local
coal situation is growing serious. The
city gas works had what was deemed
a sufficient advance supply of coal from
the Floerscheim mine on the Wheeling
division of the B. & O., but this supply is
now growing decidedly short and new
arrangements will soon have to be made.
Coal is selling in the local yards at II
cents a bushel, just double the usual
price. Slack brings 6 cents, and both are
hard to get at these rates.
There are 500 families i'll Wheeling in
need of coal while all the manufacturers
who do not use gas are hampered for
fuel. On the Ohio side of the river the
manufacturing establishments who have
been using thousands of bushels daily
have had their supply cut down or shut
off. In Paramount field O'Connell and
his campers are still at the Montana
mines, not having yet succeeded in clos
ing them entirely,
The march to the West Paramount
and the New England is scheduled to be
gin tonight, when the United States court
iniunctions will probably be served under
Judge Jackson's new ruling that the
marching columns are intended to intini-
date and are contrary to law.
The movement in Kanawha valley
shows no change A few miners went to
work this morning and the Dilchers col
umns succeeded in winning "a few more
recruits in the upper valley. The new
campaign of the agitators on the Norfolk
& Western railway has apparently borne
new fruit.

COMING HOME FROM kLONDIKE
NnIIa WnIInns Advise Friends Not
TO Come Before Spring.


Walla Walla, Aug. l6.-Letters have
been received from David Stokes,
Frank Villa and William Turpin of the
Walla Walla party who left ON the
steamer Elder for the Klondike. They
write that Dyea is crowded with pros
pectors who are anxious to get over the
trail into the gold regions, but the
chances are against accomplishing the
feat this season. They advise all those
intending to go into the Klondike to wait
until spring and take the st. Michael's
route. Many of the men at Dyea are
selling their outfits and preparing to
return home as soon as possible. The
Walla Walla party will stay, however,
and make every effort to cross the pass.

MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs. Pinkhan Declares No Woman
Noed Despair.

There are many durable causes for
sterility in women. One of the most
common is general debility, accom-
panied by peculiar condition of the
blood.
Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink
ham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. Sic
will tell you, free Of charge, the cause
of your trouble and what course to
take. Believe me, under right condi-
tions, you have fair chance to become
the joyful mother of children. Mrs.
Lucy LYTLE, 255 Henderson ST., Jersey
City, N. J., certainly thinksso. Shcsays:
~ am more than proud of Lydia u.
Pinllham's Vegetable Compound, and
cannot fad words to express the good
it has done me. I was troubled very
badly with the leucorrhma and severe
womb pains. from the time l was
married, in 1882, until last year, was
under the doctors care. We had no
children. 1 have had nearly every
doctor in Jersey City, and have been
to Dclvin Hospital, but all to no avail.
I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement
in the paper, and have used five bot
ties of her medicine. 1t has done more
for me than all the doctors ever had
1t has stopped my pains, and has
brought me a fine little girl. I have
been we'll ever since my baby was born.
I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine to all women suffering from
sterility."
