Wholesale Raid Made on Down Town
Offices.
Traders Taken to Police
Station.
Many Never Saw Inside of
Lock Up.

Chicago, July 31.-Nearly 400 perso ms,
many OF whom had never seen the inside
of a police station before, were captured
todays in a wholesale raid on alleged
bucket shops in the downtown district
and carted off to the police stations. A
dozen firms, some Of them connected with
the Board of Trade, were visited by the
police. The raid was so perfectly planned
that hardly person succeeded in escap-
ing. Conducted at the busiest hour OF the
day on change, it created considerable
excitement. Brokers on the board of
trade practically abandoned business for
the time to watch the police as they
gathered in their prisoners. One prisoner,
whose name was not learned, attempted
to end his life rather than face the
humiliation of arrest. He tried to
strangle himself with a towel, butzwas
discovered and put into the wagon. A
panic ensued in the rooms OF e. A.
Wirsching & Co when the police ap-
peared and several persons were trampled
on in thes rush to escape. Chief OF Pc
lice Ripley said that today's action by
the police was but the beginning of
serious of raids which, he said, will
continue until every alleged bncket shop
in Chicago shall be driven out OF exist
ance.
In nearly every Instance the telephone
and ticker wires were cut and the ser
vice rendered useless. The books and
paraphernalia were also taken possession
of by the police
