STEWARD OF INSTITUTION PLAc-
ED UNDER ARREST. 4
CLAIM POKER WAS PLAYED
Tabs Which Members of Club Had
Signed Taken in Hand by
the "SIy Cops"

Helena, March 16.-The police of
Helena seem determined to carry into
effect the order to close all places
where gambling is in existence, and
likewise where gambling is said to
exist. Today the Montana club was
the victim of a raid. The Montana
club is a great institution, whose mem
bership includes nearly all Of the lead
ing citizens of Helena. 1t is asserted
that the officials of the club do not
permit any sort of gaming in the
rooms, but it is said that a game now
and then has taken place in the club
rooms. 1t is even said that poker
games have been of frequent occur
at the club.
At any rate, whatever the rules of
the Montana club are and the orders
issued to the police force, the Mon
tana club came within the pale of po-
lice rule today, and a raid vas made.
Henry Meyer, the steward Of the club,
was placed under arrest. Mr.. Meyer
is a member of the council committee
which has been Investigating gam
bling. Mr.. Meyer also is an alderman.
In addition to the arrest of Mr.. Meyer,
the officers took in charge the ''tabs"
which members sign when they order
refreshments. 1t is not stated how
fhn n01ion yryi11 o1l,vnnf 1viln~rN fro,,
these signed slips, but it is claimed
that many of them will tend to prove
that there has been gambling.
Two men named Kirkwood and Col
, Inns were under suspicion for a time
today on account of an alleged game
which they permitted to run in the
Murray house on Rodney street. The
names of Collins and Kirkwood ap-
pear on the police records as having
been taken into custody, although it
is said that after consultation it was
decided to leave the Murray place in
peace. on account of a lack of evil
dence.
1t is said that a place on Clore
street was raided by the police this
morning and that Is negroes were
taken into custody. The m is
denied by the police officials.
Last night those who were arrested
during the raid on the Club gambling
house were released with one excep-
ton. That exception was the pro-
prietor of the place, M. d. Cosgrove.
He alone of the IL men was held.
The release of the 10 employees and
players followed numerous consulta-
tions.
