CHINESE GAMBLING RAID
The Police Claim They Have
Sufficient Evidence to
Convict.
A Large Number of the Chinese Ars
rested Were Admitted to
Bail Yesterday.

The successful raid made by the police
Saturday night under the direction Of
Captain Whitman upon clubs in China
town. where gambling has been carried
on, was the biggest OF the kind since the
Chinese settled in this City. In all 238
Chinese were arrested and nearly $500
in coin seized as evidence.
The raid was admirably planned and
executed and showed the work of a mas
ter mind that knows how to strike when
the necessity arises.
The City Prison yesterday looked as if
there had been general exodus from Chi
natown. The cells and corridors were
filed with chattering MongolIans and
large crowd stood in front of the entrance
waiting their turn 10 bail their friends
out. The work of registering the arrests
devolved upon Sergeant BidweIl, and he
got through with expedition and dispatch.
Then Sergeant Lindheimer and Door.
keeper Shaw had their hands full III ac-
cepting bail and releasing the prisoners.
They were assisted by Chinese interpre-
ter. Over half the number were released
before P. NJ. and the work went on.
Attorney Patrick Reddy released
twenty-seven and he will defend them in
court Fifty-two were released on bonds
accepted by Clerk Foley of Judge Conlan's
court Chief Crowley warned Foley that
if the men he was releasing on bonds
which had not been passed upon by Ding
Gong, the Chinese employed for that pur-
pose, did not appear in court this morning
he would hold him personally responsible.
The police say that besides the money
seized they are in possession OF evidence
sufficient to prove that the law against
gambling had been violated, and that the
Chinese cannot protect themselves under
the pretext that the clubs are incorpo-
rated. The police had provided them
selves with search warrants, so they were
acting within their rights

She Claims to Be Wrongly Dealt With
by @. p. WeIch.
Mrs. Julia Moffitt OF 1851 Rincon place,
who was arrested on Saturday afternoon
by G. P. Welch of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, is indig-
nant at the treatment she received at the
hands af Secretary Welch.
She denies having neglected or abused
her children, but, on the contrary, she
claims to have nursed them with all the
tenderness and affection of good mother
through their recent illness.
She also denies that she is addicted to
the use of Intoxicating liquor or has in
any way neglected her household duties.
She claims that she was roughly handled
by the arresting officers, who dragged her
from her home without permitting her to
dress herself or her children, who were in
be6 at the time of her arrest.
She states that she resides in the fiat
below that of her mother, and that when
Secretary Welch visited her he refused
her the privilege of communicating with
the members of her family who were at
home at the time, but forced her into the
patrol wagon and had her taken to the
Central police station with her two chill
dren. They were wrapped in blankets.
She is also Ignorant of who made the

Has A,

n. G. Patterson president of the Brook
lyn TheosophicaI Society, spoke of the
work of the crusade.
AFTER leaving Great Britain" he said,
1--WE went through Europe, to Africa,
india, Australia, Samoa and the Sand
witch Islands. One of the things we saw
was great amount of suffering every
where. We have it here, but we have in
form that bears no comparison to what
it is elsewhere. We found also a great
amount of disbelief. Why2
Because there is great influx of light
that allows US to see things as we never
saw them before.
I'VE saw more than this. Wherever we
went, whether the people had dark or
white skins, whether they wore one gar
ment or such clothing as we are accus-
toned to, we found the same people with
the same hopes and aspirations. We
found that there is only one humanity.
The crusade has, I believe, done its
part in the history of the world.
''The crusaders going about with no
dogma to teach have pointed out a COM
mon platform upon which these little
clusters OF men can stand together for
common end. The future is coming to US.

confident that it viii transcend any thing

Modern Theosophy.
L. B. Rambo, treasurer of the local
branch, after brief speech of welcome to
the crusaders, who he declared were
now nearly home from the world wide
wandering, introduced Claude Falls
Wright, president of the New York Theo-
sophical Society.
at is necessary in an advanced gather
ing of this Kind" he said, that what we
mean by theosophy should be generally
understood. if you look around the
world in the present day you will find vast
mum bers of people differing on questions
of religion and daily life. We are not as
narrow as we were few years ago, but We
have not yet realized the true philosophy.
II suppose in this audience tonight
there are represented 100 different sects. I
think could show you that none of you
are really standing upon firm ground.
Now is 1t not a fact that each one of these
sects is an insult 10 the remainder If l
tell you this of Methodists you who are
not Methodists will smile. If say it OF
Baptists you who are not Baptists will
smile, but what if l 60 over all the sects
and mention each of them? What then
enlightened or broadened and will admit
that every Christian sect will see saliva
tion. What of the vast hordes of other re-
ligionsP What of the Buddhists and the
Brahmins? If you say they are all lost 1
say 1t is not brotherly, and if you will be-
lieve me it is unchristian.
"Is there any man here who can answer
the momentous question, Why am here
at all2 Can any man say positively that
he is not living in dream2
I'VE of the Theosophical Society are not
at all inclined to say this thing is true or
that thing is true, but we are willing to
consider all things. When YOU get hold
to it, but all we ask of you is that you
listen with tolerance to the opinions which
others advance"
HargroVe Speaks
For Reincarnation.
President Hargrove spoke of "Reincar-
nation" "Beiore dealing with my sub
ject tonight" he said, II wish it dis
tinctly understood that the Theosophlcal
Society, as such, has no beliefs. Some
times theosophy is said TO be system oi
atheism, which is absurd. Sometimes il
is said to be kind of spiritualism, which
is not the case. Theosophy is as old as
man nlmSelI, ana no matter now lar you
will GO back in history there you will find
theosophy being studied. 1t is believed in
to-day by two-thirds of the human race.
The speaker then spoke OF his individual
belief that the soul is reincarnated after
the death Of the body.
sat first sight" he said, "this' view
may be strange to many, and foolish peo-
pie are apt to scoff at things which. they
do not understand, and especially with
anV new thing which thew do not UNDER
stand. Reincarnation can be proved by
simply carefully examining the known
facts.
There is no disputing the fact that the
world looked at inexplicably is a strange
chaos. We seem to see injustice every

Most people here will believe in the
Immortality of the soul. According to all
great teachers the soul is the ego. the real
man, using the corporal body. You, per-
hans, believe that it is immortal in the
future only.
Not if you take the teachings of the old
philosophers. They teach that it extends
indefinitely into the past as we'll as the
future.
1.-The soul must have its daytime of ac-
tivity and its night time of rest; just as
the day follows the night time and an
other day comes again, so after death,
which is the night time of the soul, must
come another day. What is the object of
life if it is not to learn how to liver Can
we learn this in fifty or in a hundred
years? We have countless experiences
which we cannot profit by. We want one
more chance, and we will have it-chance
after chance.

a lesson which humanity to-day needs to
learn? Have we not been too long told
that man is miserable creature born to
sin2 Instead OF being told that man is
little lower than the animals, who at least
have the privilege of being born innocent,
we hold that man has hope of rising by
his own efforts to greater and higher
things, where he may not only be a Joy to
himself, but benefit TO his fellows"
