FIVE PLACES RAIDED.
Police Swoop Down on a Number of
Dens and Arrest the Inmates.
The Houses Visited.

A Wholesale raid on the disorderly
houses on lower Lackawanna avenue
was conducted last night by Chief of
Police Frank Robling. The object was
to clean out the thoroughfare and re-
move all the vile dens which have been
infesting the avenue.
At 1890 o'clock five squads of patrol
men were formed and swooped down on
the marked houses. The squads were
led by Chief Robling, Lieutenant John
Davis, Detective John Moir, Patrol
man Iona Day and Mounted officer
Joseph Bloch. The raid had been con-
templated for some time and last
nights proceedings were in the nature
of crusade against the brothels and
haunts of vice, which have so long dis
graced the citys most public thorough
fare. The first place visited was that
of Mrs. Jones at 230 Lackawanna ave-
nue., by Chief RObling ct. al The larg-
est haul of the evening was made here
seven women and three men being ar
rested and taken to the Center street
police station. Among the females ar
rested was one who is said to be 4
member of a theatrical troupe which
recently appeared in this city. officer
Bloch and his squad descended on
No. % Lackawanna avenue, kept by
Mrs. Maggie Colburn, and in this place
five women and two men were taken
into custody.
The resort next TO this at No %
LaCkawanna avenue, kept by Mrs.
Lesh, and the first visit made by Iona
Day and squad no arrests We're made,
but on a second descent three women
and one man were captured. This
place was infested with diseases, there
having recently been cases of scarlet
fever at il and the house was in 4
terribly malodorous and vile condition.
The Colburn resort is one of the worst
in the city and it was only last week
that one of the inmates was before
Alderman Kasson, charged with rob-
berry by a man who had visited it.
The notorious Alice Brandt was one
of the habitues or the house who was
arrested.
In the City hall quarters eight wo-
men and seven men We're lodged by
the squads of Lieutenant Davis and
Detective Moir the houses raided being
those of Mrs. Smith at 107 Lachawan-
ma avenue and of Annie Gilmartin, 30
Lackawanna avenue. At the former
| place three women and four men were
apprehended and at the latter, three
men and five women.
The warrants for the arrests were
sworn out before Alderman Myron
| KassOn.
After all the raids had been made
| last night Patrolman Haggerty APP
/ peared at the Centre street station al
| 1905 o'clock and ushered in weeping
| damsel, whom he had arrested at 81
| Lackawanna avenue. All of the par
ties will have their hearing at o'clock
| this morning before Mayor Moir.

ROBBED, OR NOT RoBBEDp
That Is the Question a Farmer L
Debating with Himself.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon
Lieutenant John Davis and Patrolman
Thompson We're accosted on Wyoming
avenue by an aged farmer, who de-
clared that he had been robbed of a
purse containing several dollars, and
accused a man who had been in a
Wyoming avenue saloon with him dur
ing the afternoon, of the theft.
The latter was accordingly arresto l
and at the time was in a drunken con-
dtion.
He Indignantly denied the theft of
the pocketbook. and suggested that the
farmer himself be searched. This was
done, and 10 and behold! the missing
purse was found in one of his pockets.
1t is thought that the accused man had
taken the pocketbook, but adroitly put
1t back just before he was arrested.
He was, however, held on the charge
of drunkenness, and was taken to the
Centre street police station. He will
have a hearing this morning.

If Frank Belcher, of Jermyn, wasn't
as reticcnt as he is reputed rich those
who like to read of rich strikes would
be treated to a story that would un-
doubtedly find permanent abiding
place In the Innings of their hats.
Mr.. Bechcr left for the Klondike six
years ago, "A poor man. Today he is
home with three-quarters of a million
Of as good money as ever was coined,
and next February he proposes to go
away again to get three-quarters of a
million more.
Yes, it's a Klondlke story, but true
one, If common report, substantiated
with details, is TO be accepted.
Mr.. Belcher went west to seek his
fortune and drifted to Oregon and then
to Alaska. In 1894 he was on the
american side" prospecting for gold
and doing fairly WELL when reports Of
the big finds in the Klondike region
commenced to come in. Selling out his
claim. he worked his way to the new
El Dorado. thinking to be early on the
ground and in the way of stalking a
rich claim.
Early as he was, he found every
thing in the then opened country under
claim, and he was forced to buy q
place. Three men who had a fairly
good claim, sixteen miles from Daw-
son City, sold out to him for $40, 900. He
paid $1,000 cash and was to pay the
balance with every alternate $1,000
worth of stuff that the place panned
out. He owned the claim outright in
three weeks, and refused a S100, 900 cash
offer for 1t before the first month was
up.
Five feet below where his. predeces-
sors had been working he found a lead
of the best paying dirt in the region.
Tempting cash offers for shares were
one after the other refused, and mining
companies that wanted to put big capt.
tai into it to develop it rapidly were
STAYED off.
Mr.. Belcher kept 1t to himself, le-
veloped It gradually, cared for it zeal
Ously, gave 1t his personal supervision
at all times, and today has one of the
best properties in that whole region.
Mr.. BelCher proposes to return to the
Klondike for n couple of years to finish
working out his claim, after which he
will come back to the states to enjoy
his fortune.
He left a good place at the mine
when he first quit Jermyn, but it was
with the understanding that if he did
not make it n go" in the west H.
could have a chamber when he came
| back. He hasn't been to see the boss
yet.

HAVING A VERY LOUD TIME.
Young Man Arrested for Reckless
Driving.

About $50 o'clock last evening Pa
trolman Watkins on Washington ave-
nue. saw young man and woman to-
gether in a buggy acting in very loud
and disorderly manner. He watched
them and saw them start down the
street at very rapid and reckless
rate.
At the corner of Washington and
Lackawanna avenues the horse slipped
and the buggy shaft was broken. The
woman jumped out and abandoned her
companion, The man continued in his
fight and on Lackawanna avenue his
horse ran into the curb and came to a
full stop. Patrolman Watkins by this
time had caught up with him and ar
rested the man on the charge of reck-
less driving. He was taken to police
headquarters and the horse and buggy
to Cusck's stable.
The young man was about 20 years
OF age and was apparently out for a
nights jOllification. He refused to
give his name or any information about
himself.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT.
Common Council to Take Its Turn at
Bond Ordinance Tonight.

The amended bond ordinance will
come back to common council this
evening, at the regular meeting of that
branch, for reconsideration. The ord-
nance as introduced in common council
provided for only $225,000 worth of
bonds. Select council passed 1t, but
only after amending it until the total
footed up to 1913, 2O5.S0.
Common council not to be outdone by
select, will add on a few amendments
of its own. Councilman Norton, of thu
Twenty first, placed yesterday in Clerk
Jones' hands an amendment providing
for the issuance of $4,000 extra for the
construction of a sewer system in the
Twenty-first ward.
This will bring the total up to little
less than 100000. and it will probably
exceed that, as Mr.. Norton is not the
only one who will offer an amendment.

GRAVE NEWS FROM ILOILO.
Americans-Geu. Miller WIN Enter
tain No OuIbblinE

Washington, Jan. 3.-There is grave
fear Of trouble in the Philippines A
long message was received by cable
from Gen Otis He reports the disap-
Pearance Of AguinaldO and the refusal
of the insurgents TO deliver IlOilO to
the American forces sent from Manila
to take possession Of that city. A
cablegram was drawn up and sent to
Cen Otis directing him to execute his
original orders rega riding IlOilO, and
this means that the United States
forces viii take pOssessi on Of the city
and harbOr, notwithstanding the re-
sistance Of the FilipinOs.
Gen Otis considers the disappearance
Of Aguinaldo as one of the most signi-
fcant of the many suspicious acts Of
that leader during the last month. It
is not Just known where AguinaldO is,
though Gen. Otis believes that he is
still on the island Of LuzOn on which
Manila is situated. Among his fol-
lowers in Manila it was given out that
he withdrew to the interior because
he feared assassination, but Gen. Otis
is said to be of the opinion that
AgUinaldO has some other purpose in
view and perhaps is really collecting
his forces for a demonstration hostile
to the United States
