"POOLROOM KING" GONE.
J. MAHONEY IN EUROPE.
Jerome Thinks Race Gambling Has
Stopped IN This City.

District Attorney Jerome said yesterday that he
had reason to believe that most of the poolrooms
in the city had been closed since he began to issue
subpGnas for the booksellers and have them ex-
amlned in his Office under the power of the Dowl-
ing act He said he had information that James
Mahoney the alleged head of the poolroom syndi-
cate in the city, had evaded his subpoena and had
gone to Europe, TO stay until the crusade against
the poolrooms ceased. II that were true, he add
ed Mahoney would have TO stay a long time. as
the war on the poolrooms was on to stay.
Mahoney's main office was in 42d-st.. but he had
several poolrooms IN different parts Of the city,
furnished the racing news TO them. and had them
run by trusted employees He is said to have made
more than S,OOoOO0 in the business in the last five
years. Mr.. Jerome intended to make several OF
Mahoney's men testify against him, and then IN
dict the big pooIseler and place him on trial. 1t
is believed that Mahoney got wind Of the District
Attorneys intention and fed 20 Europe.
"I understand Mr.. Jerome said yesterday, that
the poolroom business is practically dead in the
city now. OF course, some Of the poorooms are
running vet, and there many handbook men
operating in saloons. We can't get the handbook
men. but expect to get the poolroons.'
Several booksellers were discharged in the Essex
Market court yesterday because the Illingsworth
brothers. who helped get the evidence which
Inspector Brooks made several raids believed
TO have fed the city. A letter signed by John
Iuingsworth, which had been mailed in Williams
port PENN was handed to Magistrate Ommen
when the cases were called. II in part as fol-
lows:
If you remember, was a witness before you as
police officer and acting detective sergeant against
Callahan and others in your court I stated to you
at the time that I threatened by Of1cer Fitz-
gerald in open court. and also l going have
my status decided by Commissioner McAdoo that
day They say that my appointment was Illegal.
and I have refused to have anything more TO do
with this work these cases. l will not play
the part Of stool pigeon; and. further. find there
protection for either myself brother
from trumped up charges or personal assault
In dismissing the prisoners. Magistrate Ommen
said: I'D like to know what person in the Police
Department told these Illingsworth brothers they

recommend therefore, that provision be made
for the appointment of q board of surveys to
superlntend the national surveys and explorations
to be made in the Philippine Islands. and that ap-
preparation be made from time to time to meet
the necessary expenses of such investigation. 1t
is not probable that the survey would be completed
in q less period than that Of eight ten years,
but it is well that IL should be begun IN the
future. The Philippine Commission. and those re-

should be carried and treated a national duty
in the interests Of science.
