retirement of Judge Ray, referred al!
measures dealing with trusts to the
subcommittee, of which Mr-Little-
field, of Maine, is chairman, and that
subcommittee will go to work at

New York, Dec. 3.-District At
torney Jerome's sensational raids on
alleged gambling resorts begun about
midnight and continued until 4:30
o'clock this morning and numerous
small places were raided. The at
tacks on the latter, however. were
almost overlooked in the public in
terest, which conferred in the as
saults upon the mansions occupied
by Richard A. Garfield and William
Burbridge, which were entered by
means of ladders. axes and sledges.
The. police allege that Frank Far
rell is interested, in Burbridge's
place. Great quantities of costly
evidence" were carted away from
those places by the police but arrests
were few. Up to last night the gen,
eral impression prevailed that Can
fields, which is in the heart of the
fashionable uptown district, only a
few doors from Fifth avenue, was q
"Gibraltar" which could not be la
ken. A similar belief prevailed in
regard to Burbridge's place, which
was especially protected by steel
doors. This place is in cross street
uptown, only half block from Fifth
avenue, and few steps from a cele-
brated hotel.
So great was public interest
a.A,,gnl hx, hn nj thn rni1 IN
Canfeld's that people flocked to the
neighborhood until the intersection
of Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth
street, the corner nearest Can
| fields, was blocked with carriages
and people.
After Burbridge's the raiders visit
ed Ludlam's place, otherwise known
as the Savoy club, They got one man
| there, a colored subordinate en-
ployed about the place. Jerome,
Capt, Piper, Inspector Brooks. sever
al assistants to the district attorney
and numerous detectives were busy
in Ludlam's place for several hours
They blew open a safe in their hunt
| for evidence.
| Early in the night District Attor
ney Jerome made many raids in the
downtown Italian quarter of alleged
disorderly houses. These were pre-
liminaries," as it were, to the two
big events, Canfield's and Burbridge's
District Attorney Jerome declined alb
solutcly to make any sort of state
ment after his nights work.
The raids were expected in ever,
place visited. In Caniield's the owne'
declared nothing had been doing
Flor weeks. 1t was much the same il
Burbridge's and Ludlam's. although
Joseph Jacobs, the Citizens Unioi
detective, last night declared he ha'
played in every place. But that TIT
raids were to be made seemed t.
have reached the men interested fo1

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in

The Fire Engine.

The chemical fire engine has
been accepted by the town council.
A test was made by saturating a
structure, which was erected for
the purpose, with barrel OF coal
tar and ten gallons of kerosene
this was ignited and MS the blaze
reached its fullest height the hose
was turned on and the flames dis
apl cared in a few minutes. A sec
ond test was made for the "clty
fathers" of Johnston who contem-
plate purchasing an engine. The
little fire-eater again proved itself
master of the situation. We be-
lieve that this will be a good in
vestment. While it is not equal
to fire fighting machinery of the
large cities it is the best that Edge
field can afford for the present at
least.
Next in ordar is a trained man
or set of men to handle and use 1t
with skill and despatch. On the
field of battle more depends upon
the men behind the guns than on
the guns themselves; so it ls on the
scene of a comflagration, as much
