200 MEN CAPTURED IN RAID.
POOLROO.M, THE POLICE SAY, WAS
WE'LL PROTECTED.

Heavy Partitions, Electric Lights for
Signals and Other Precautions Against
Raiders-In Capt. Bourke's Precinct
but He Is Not Notifled-Three Men Held.
Nearly 200 men were caught in a raid
on the second floor Of "a East Eighth street
yesterday afternoon. Only three were
held as prisoners. The others were allowed
to 60 after their names and addresses had
been taken.
The police did some strenuous work to get
into the place. From the street the floor
appeared to be occupied by James Kennedy
manufacturer Of womens underwear The
police say the business was only q blind.
The store has been watched for six weeks,
the police suspecting that it was a pool
room.
Detective Waters Of Inspector Hcgsn's
stan obtained evidence on which two war
rants were issued by Magistrate Moss in
the Jefferson Market court.
Roundsman Frank Gallagher gathered
dozen detectives and guarded every
exit from the building A half dozen,
with axes and sledges, broke In three doors
and finally landed against heavy partition,
There was door in the partition which
the police couldn't break in.
After big hole had hasn' knocked in
the partition the door was opened. Several
men tried to make their escape over the
roof, but found the police waiting for
them.
The warrants called for William j. Radi-
gan OF 6l6 Sixth avenue and Isaac Winfield
OF 1903 Seventh avenue, both Of whom were
arrested. Then Martin Hoffer, BRASS
worker Of 1876 East lO2d street, wanted to
know what authority the police had for
breaking in, just to show him Detective
Minogue arrested him for interfering.
The raid was made in the Mercer street
precinct, commanded by Acting Captain
Burke, but he knew nothing Of 1t. The
Mercer street patrol wagon was called,
but the prisoners, with q bag or two OF
racing charts and telephones, were taken to
the Charles street station.
kennedy's name figured prominently
in the supposed poolroom. Hundreds Of
cards which the police say were good for
admission were found in the room. They
were signed by Kennedy. The police
said 1t was the hardest place to get into
they had ever struck.
In addition to the thick partitions, the
room was protected by q system Of electric
lights and bells. The outer door was
guarded by man, who stood near two
push buttons set in the floor. One, when
stepped on, turned on red light In the
poolroom and the other showed a white
light.
The police said that Brooklyn Supreme
Court Justice had issued an injunction
against police Interference with the place.

spfetai Cable Despatch 10 the sur.
LONDON, Aug. 2o.-The trend Of English
opinion IN regard to Tho resignation Of
Lord Curzon Is vioeroy Of India, while
friendly toward Lord Kitchener, tends
strongly toward condemnation OF the atti-
tude OF It's Government In It's treatment Of
the former. A representative comment,
which voices even the opinion Of the average
Unionist, Is the folio wing from the Spectator:
.We cannot but conceive that tho Cabinet
has been on first class question Of admin
istration dangerously In the wrong. The
Ministers were, perhaps, obliged to accept
Lord Curzon's resignation on account Of
his efforts to limit their freedom In choosing
an Indian Councillor, but that IL . small
detail In very important struggle. They
have In the most marked way. after months
Of confederation and In the teeth Of many
Of tho sblest officials Of the Indian HER
archy, destroyed the supremacy Of civil
government In India. They have, In fabt,
withdrawn the army from It's control and
left tho decision Of important military
que tions to an officer whose views can never
exactly be theirs. who may be wholly insx-
perienoed In the delicate organization Of q
composite army. and who must always
banker after opportunities for distinction
which can be opened to him only by active
service.
"A practical decision In the most import
ant departments no longer remains with
the Vioeroy. who. while this new system
endures Is deprived Of the most valuable
portion Of his authority. II will not endure
long, for no able Prime Minister will select
a weak Vioeroy, and no strong vioeroy will
be able to bear the position in which he

New ROCHELLE, N. Y. Aug. 28.-The
action Of CO. Daniel E. Sickels in having

1t is beyond our comprehension
to account for the terrible fear

Gods Trustee

George f. Baer. who recently posed
an Goods trustee" into whose hands had
been given the management OF the coal
business of this country, Gays "Cain was
the first striker. He killed Abel because
Abel was the most prosperous fellow"
Mr.. Baer (bear) is unfortunate in his
parallels. Cain was not q striker. He
was the first advocate of the "open
shop" He insisted on being allowed
to manage his own sacrifice business in
his own way, and refused to make or
abide by any agreement or compact.
There being no militia to call out, Cain
took wal measures on his own account,
and finding no federal judges to issue
an injunction. he smote Abel and killed
him. Since his unfortunate citation of
scripture we have come to the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Baer's credentials as a
..trustee of the Almighty" are forged
C6mmonsr.
As Mr.. Baer was born in Germany,
and landed in Pennsylvania without a
dollar, and as he is now reputed TO pos
sess one hundred million dollars, all dug
ont OF the ground for him by poor devils
who should have had as much right to
the earth as he had, and perhaps will
after death, it looks to a man up a tree
that he stood in with his satanic majes-
ty instead of with the Almighty.
