A STOCK BROKER ARRESTED
The Police Commence Crusade
Against Bucket Shops.
LanceIOt A. Hartman Charged With
Maintaining Gaming TabIe-
The Law Relating to Such Gases
Several Other Places to he Raided.

Lancelot A. Hartman broker who has
maintained an office at 6Si F Street north
west under the name of the Washington
| Stock and Grain Company, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detectives Helan
and McNamee on charge of setting up
and maintaining a gaming table. Later in
| the day he gave bond in the sum OF 81. coo,
and was released pending a hearing in the
Police Court this morning II is under
stood that this is the first of a series of
raids that are contemplated on the few re-
naming brokers who are reDuted to be
conducting bucket shops.
Mr.. Hartman Is sixty-three years of age,
and lras been in the brokerage business in
this city since 1890. He asserts that his
arrest is a piece Of spite work, and says
further that he has not owned the business
since April l. The warrant for his arrest,
which was sworn to by Henry H BurwelI,
specifies that he has been engaged in the
business of taking bets on the stock mar
ket since January l. and that he has no
correspondent and does not execute the
commissions that are given him. He was
very much surprised when the detectives
walked into his Office and served the war
rant upon him. He accompanied them to
Police Headquarters, where he was per-
mitted to remain until his friends secured
the necessary bond.
The police authorities of this city have
frequently attempted TO discourage the
proprietors of so called bucket shops, and
several convictions have been secured, but
as q rule the results have hardly com
pensated the police for the amount of
work involved. At the last session of
Congress law was enacted requiring all
proprietors of such places to certify to
the character of the business that they
are conducting and stpulating a certain !
tax on the establishments. 1t is hoped by
the local authorities that this law has |
placed the necessary power in their hands |
to effectually eXterminate bucket shops !
here and they are proceeding accordingly. |
If a broker doing business on the bucket |
shop plan fails TO declare the nature OF |
his business he is violating the revenue |
law. II he does make such a declaration |
he has acknowledged himself guilty of |
the violation of the local gambling law
The police have been watching the |
places where such a business is still be- /
ing conducted and under the immediate |
direction Of the Dist riot Attorneys Of |
flee they are preparing to prosecute every |
proprietor Of such a place. The COM [
plants TO the police regarding the manner |
IN which such Offices are conducted have |
always been numerous. and it has been |
the general opinion that il is almost inn
possible for an outsider to win in them.
Many Of the complaints allege trickery
and various dishonest methods aside from |
the chief offence Of the bucket shop"
