mo KEEP On RAIDING.
New York Committee of 15 Has En-
listed For the War.

New York, Feb 28-After 4 conference
with Austen G. Fox and Robert GrIer
Monroe, counsel for the committee of
fifteen, Chairman William H. Baldwin
made this statement relative to the
raids on alleged gambling houses in the
Tenderloin;
I am thoroughly satisfied with what
was accomplished. The work as a whole
was a complete success and 1t was sue
ceSSful in relation to each particular
gambling place. whether the different
places were tipped off or not have no
knowledge While the committee Of
fifteen took action directly upon the evil
dence they had secured, instead of sim
ply handing it over TO the district attor-
ney for him to act upon. want It cis-
tinctly understood that the district at
torney was informed of our proposed ac-
ton and 1t met with his approved and
Assistant District Attorney Schurman
was present. The same policy will be
pursued in the future.
We did not expect 10 get any evidence
We had all the evidence before we went
to execute the warrants. There was no
attempt to detain any players as wit
nesses.''
Commenting on the remark of Lewis
Nixon, chairman of the committee of
five, that the raids conducted by the
committee of fifteen were not entirely
successful, because the gamblers
escaped, Mr.. Baldwin said: Dent
make any such mistake. We know who
ran the gambling rooms Wa raided last
night.
The names of the men who ran these
gambling places will appear in good
time. Those are the people We are look
ing for end we intend to get them. We
got all that VIC expected to get We
have said from the outset that we are
not looking for the little Individual
offender
Mr.. Baldwin laugkingly declined to
announce where and when the commit
tee would probably strike next. He con-
tinued:
Suffice it to ssy that we have not
quit, nor will we go out of business
merely because we have made a single
raid. Making a raid is only one step in
the plan for a comprehensive cam
paign- Unless they be followed by ar
rests and convictions, raids can not do
much good, and tine arrest and convic-
ton of petty Offenders would not mend
matters. Be patient and wait, and we
hope to be able to show you who is ac-
tually responsible for the arnbling that
has been permitted and protected by the
police"
The committee held It's regular week
~ meeting. but after a session lasting.
nearly two hours Mr.. Baldwin an
nounced that it had nothing for pub
LEGATION.
A member of the committee explained
that they would probably be heard from
actively again within a short time.
Austen G. Fox declined to give the
names of the other men in dress suits
who accompanied him to the Tenderloin
police station. The impression prevails
in some circles that most of them were
private detectives in the committees
employ The committee will meet again
next week.
