A STOCK BROKER ARRESTED
The Police Commence a Crusade
Against Bucket Shops.
LauceIot A. Hartman Charged With
Maintaining Gaming Table
The Law Relating to Such Gases
Several other Places to BE Raided.

Lance,t.i A. Hartman, broker who has
maintained an Office at 6S1 F Street north
west under the name of the Washington
Stock and Grain Company, was arrested
Yesterday afternoon by Detectives Helan
and McNamee on a charge Of setting up
and maintaining a gaming table. Later IN
the day he gave bond in the sum OF $l.C1c,
and was released pending hearing IN the
Police Court this morning. Ii is under
stood that this is the first of series or
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 has 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 II. Burweu
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-
| noftted 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 a rule the results have hardly com
| pensated the police for the amount OF
| work involved. At the last session OF
Congress a law was enacted requiring all
1 proprietors of such places to certify TO
| the character of the business that they
| are conducting and STIMULATING certain
| tax on the establishments. 1t Is hoped by
| the local authorities that this law has
placed the necessary power In their hahds
| 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 declaration
he has acknowledged himself guilty OF
the violation of the local gambling law.
| The police have been watching the
| places where such business is stu be
ing conducted and under the immediate
| direction of The District Attorney 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 arr conducted nave
| always been numerous. ana IL mas eeeh
the general opinion that it is almost I'M
possible for an outsider to win IN them.
| Many Of the complaints aIeSe trlckery
and various dishonest methods aside from
the chief offence of the bucket SHOP
