CHAMBERLAIN MAKES START TO-DAY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME.
Raided Alleged Gambling House on
 Justice Hyatt's Warrant.

New York, Oct 6.-District Attorney Jerome raided an alleged gambling house early to-day at 107 West 4oth street. Warrants for the raid were issued by Justice Wyatt at his home late in the evening on evidence alleged to have been obtained by a policeman in plain clothes. With the district at torney and assisting in the raid were Inspector Walsh, several detectives and a squad of policemen in plain clothes. The place Is a five-story brownstone front house and is hand somely furnished. The raid lacked the sensational features that have char acterized former. ones made by the dis tirct attorney. No axes, sledge ham mers and ladders were called into play. The doors were quickly opened on an order from Phil Daily, jr, who was taken in restaurant near by and ac- companied the raiders to the house. Two men, said to be employees, were arrested in the rooms.
 The place was examined from cellar to roof; even the walls were sounded by officers. Only two or three faro boxes were found. However, a bridge was discovered which led from back window to a livery stable across the alley, so that escape was an easy mat ter in cases of unexpected calls by raiders
 A house in West 26th street was raided earlier in the night by squad of police. They found gambling i'm plements hidden in the ceiling of an upper room and chopped them out with axes. No prisoners were made and 1t was asserted that news of the intended raid preceded the officers.

 Birmingham, Eng, Oct 6.-Joseph Chamberlain set out from here this morning on his fiscal campaign, amid every demonstration of good will from him fellow townsmen. Hundreds gath cred at the railroad station and alter nately sang For He's Jolly Good Fellow" and shouted Good old Joey, and "The country's with you" Vain appeals were made for & speech, but the only expressed opinion that could be extracted from the fomer secretary for the colonies was i'll reply to con gratulations on the appointment of his son Austen as chancellor of the ex- cheouer, when MT Chamberlain ad- mitted that there were "lot of difh- culties before the party, but ne thought they would ''get through with them all right"

 London. Oct 6.-There is practically but one opinion of the reconstructed British cabinet. and that is that Pre- mier Balfour missed his opportunity to rehabilitate the character of his government and that so far as the unionist policy at large is concerned the ministry has lost most of it's pres tige and authority This estimate of what is already commonly designated as the transitional cabinet" seems largely due to the sense of chaos aris- ing from the unexpected defection of the Duke of Deyonshire. as with the notable exception of the colonial secre- taryship the premier has reconstructed in manner closely agreeing with pub Nc,opinion
 It was rumored to-day that the Mar quis of Londonderry, president of the board of education, may follow the Duke of Devonshire into retirement
 The new colonial secretary, Alfred Lyttelton. has made only one pro no1mcement on the fiscal question. Or that occasion he defended MT Chamber lain's action in launching the discus sion. and said he would be especially sorry to add to the food bill. He an- tieipated a readiustment rather than additional taxation and thought the government should have a. weapon for use in the negotiation Of commercial treaties.

TIE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Counsel for United States Sum-
 med Up Questions.

He Says America's Method is the
 Usual Mode of Procedure Great
 Britain's Contention Arbitrarily
 Changed the Line.
 London, Oct 6.-On entering this morning on the third day of his argu- ment before the-AIaska boundary com mission, Jacob M. Dickinson, of coun- sel for the United States, summed up the question of the Portland canal line. He declared that the American contention was the usual simple, nat ural and consistent method of deter mining the boundary. He held that Great Britain's contention arbitrarily changed the direction of the line unprovided for in the treaty, and which, instead of carrying the line di- rect to the 56th parallel, only seven miles distant, carried the line sixty miles to the coast before reaching that parallel.
 Counsel denied Attorney General Finlay's and Solicitor General Car sons arguments that the tribunal had no power to determine what constitut- ed the coast If that was true. the proceedings might as well have not been commenced, for an answer to ev- cry question submitted required de- termination in regard to what consti- tuted the coast.
 Dealing with the British argument that article seven of the treaty of 1925 applied only to the Lisiere tor strip which Russia was to obtain by the treaty., MT Dickinson quoted Chief Justice AlYerstone's and the late Lord Russell's own arguments as showing that they, as counsel for Great Britain at the fur seal arbitra- tion of 1908, took exactly the opposite view from that now advanced by Att torney General Finlay and Solicitor General Carson. Counsel said he was surprised at Great Britain's change of attitude on the Lisiere question, without adducing any new grounds therefor.
 Lord Aversion listened with evident amusement to Mir Dickinson's use of the interpretations which he and the late Lord Russell of Killowen, the for mer lord chief justiAe, formerly urged in Paris.
 The commission then adjourned for the day and proceeded to the memorial service for the late Sir Michael Helr- bert

 publican There Will Be Slight
 Gain in the State for the G. o. P.-
 Democrats May Protest the Election

 New Haven, Oct 6.-Returns from all the towns in the state where cleo tions were held yesterday with the ex ception of Killingworth, show that 123 went republican, 37 returned demo- cratic majorities and in one, Canter- bury, there was a tie vote. Last year 12S towns were republican and 39 democratic. Should the result from the missing town of Killingworth prove to be the same as last year the republicans will have 124 towns and the democrats 37.
 There is 8 possibility of another election in Weston, where it is under stood that the democrats will protest it. When the Weston voters went to the polls yeserday morning, it was dis covered that the official envelopes had failed to arrive, and all proceedings were immediately halted Later it was learned that the missing package was in the express office at Westport and a messenger was sent for it. He returned to Weston in time to allow the polls to be opened at 2:30 o'clock. The voting was stopped at and the count showed victory for the repub- licans.

Two democratic selectmen and a republi- can first selectman were elected. Last year Greenwich was republican.
