youngest son and ninth child In n ia M

from good; that he showed tastes and
mental traits that stood ont in marked
contrast with those of his brothers and
sisters; and that he was. from in
fancy, the pet of the family. Such
daily work as farmers lad was made
to do was not for him. Yet he was
expected TO do something, and might

field in time take breakfast with Senator
Mason. At 10 o'clock Cullom visited the Fed
eral officials in the Monadnock Building, and
then he had luncheon with his colleague. The
result is believed to be that Cullom has agreed
to help Mason distribute the postoffces in the
interest Of the latter's campaign for reelection
and that in return Mason will work for Cul-
Iom's nomination for President in 1904.
Senator Masons friends say unequivocally
that Cullom is for the Chicago Senator. In max
ing this statement they point out that the Fed
eral officers forming the Culom camp have not
been reappointed and that they will need Ma
sons Endorsement to hold their places another
four years Whether they will be for Mason
after their own jobs are secured is open
question. The Mason men say they will be. The
Dawes contingent believes the contrary.
In course of the morning Senator Mason
launched n Presidential boom" for Cullom. IF
Illinois Republicans are united in 1904. they will

Mason. 1T is a practical certainty that the

SHOT FIRED IN A RAID.
FRANK MOSS SAYS CAPTAIN COONEY AT
FIRST REFUSED TO ORDER MEN TO
PUT AWAY WEAPONS.

In raid made at midnight yesterday on an
alleged policy shop IN the basement of No. 211
West Twenty eighth-st., one of the men in the
place fired a shot from revolver, which went
into the ceiling. Captain Cooney of the West
Thirty seventh station was asked by Frank Moss
to order the crowd in the place to lay down
their arms According to Mr.. Moss, Captain
Cooney refused at first, but finally complied with
the request.
The raid was made by Superintendent McClin-
tock' of the Society for the Prevention of Crime;
FRANK Moss. counsel of the society, and Agents
Bauman, Lghtenberg and Mcclellan, assisted
by Captain Cooney and three patromen in citi
zens clothes, from the West Thirty-seventh-s
station.
superintendent McClintock and Frank Moss
went to the West Thirty-seventh-st. station and
displaying five warrants, asked Captain Cooney
to send three men to the Twenty -eiGhth-s st
house. Messrs. McClintock and Moss went to
the place in a cab, while Captain Cooney and
his men followed afOOt. The three agents were
already In the basement, having entered for the
purpose of participating in the game
When Superintendent McClintoc1 and Frank
Moss arrived at the house they were armed with
crowboars and waited for the appearance of
Captain Cooney and his men. On the arrival of
the police they broke in the door leading to the
place and entered. Inside they found between
twenty and thirty white and cOlored men The
game was found going on in a room.
AS soon as the raiders made their appearance
there was a wild rush for the door, but escape
was prevented. Some one then fired a shot into
the ceiling.
According to Moss. he requested Captain
Cooney to direct all persons to lay down their
weapons. Captain Cooney refused, it is said, but
finally gave the necessary order.
The warrants, which had been issued by Jus
tee Jerome. calling for the arrest oE John Doe
and Richard Roe and families were then served,
and 1Ve men were taken into custody
The raiding party then took possession Of a
