The ANTHOLOGY Society yesterday began a special
effort to Illustrate the plans of the local policy
men, backed by the wealthy Chicago harpies to
regain some part of their old foothold in certain
parts of the city. The society caused the arrest
of several offenders Monday. Eight of these were
held yesterday IN $1,000 each the charge of keep
ing and selling policy slips by Magistrate Whitman,
in the West Side court.
James McEroy, of No. POI West 29th-st., and
Fritz strollmeyer, OF No. 3Ss West Ast-st.. were
charged with maintaining policy shop in their
saloons. The other six charged with possess
ing policy slips
The two saloons were raided Monday afternoon
by the police and Superintendent Burke, of the
society. In Strollmeyer's place found fifteen
men and q number Of women and children.
In McElroy's saloon a large number of persons
were found evidently awaiting returns Five arrests
were made here.
In the afternoon a special meeting Of the society
was held. A president was elected resolutions
were passed, and vote of thanks was extended
to those instrumental in passing the recent bill
giving added official support to the society and it's
work.
The president is Marcus M Marks, whole
sale cothier. of No. 6S7 Broadway. Mr.. Marks was
one of the late Captain Goddard's lieutenants.

extended vote of thanks to Assemblyman Ezra

gins. The bill provides for the use of thu fines
paid for violations of the policy law, which here
tofore have gone to the State. BY the passage of
this bill these fines will continually increase the
working capital of the society and its consequent
power for good.
