GAMBLERS SHUT UP SHOP.
We'll kRoscn TeRderloin Places Send
PdrapherndIia Out of To1on.

Taking their tip from what they read in the
newspapers regarding the intention OF the
District Attorney to continue his war on gam
bling, an uneasy feeling began to be apparent
among gamblers in the Tenderloin precinct on
Wednesday night. There were several confer
ences among them and this was followed be-
tween and o'clock yesterday morning by the
the removal OF gambling furniture and para
phernalia from several we'll known houses in
vans TO the North River ferries.
Many vanloads were taken from gambling
houses 10 points in New-Jersey, supposedly to
warehouses in Jersey City and Hoboken.
1t is known that two vanloads of gambling
furniture were taken at o'clock from place
in Thirty-third-st near Broadway, said to be

ferry about 4:4O o'clock. and each vehicle was
said to be packed fun of roulette wheels. faro
tables and layouts chips. cards markers~tally-
boards. and other articles that had been n use
in gambling houses.
From the Thirty -third-st place, said TO be
Farrell's. the goods removed were the most
costly ever used in New-York City. excepting
some of the articles Of corresponding character
that were said TO have been used in Canheids
gambling house, in Forty-fourth-st.
Poolrooms In the West Thirtieth-st precinct
conducted their business very warily yesterday

ular customers OF long standing ana or Wen
known identity were allowed to enter the rooms
and 10 put down their bets. Many regular Gus
toners who preferred not to take chances or
being found in a poolroom raid telephoned their
bets. 1t was said the telephone bets were double
and treble the number made on any one DAY
since the winter betting season began. The at
tendance in the rooms was correspondingly de-
creased. 1t was believed last night that to-day
fully a third OF the poolrooms would restrict
their business TO telephone customers, or smut
down entirely for at least day or SO, or until II
was known what effect Mr.. Jerome's gambling
crusade would have the poolroom business.
Last night in the Tenderloin precinct no well
known gambling house was open. Faro bank
was dealt and the wheel was turned in obscure
places. Poker rooms kept their doors locked,
but did business as usual though 1t was re-
ported that the regular patronage was lacking,
and that many a house player who had been
waiting about for many day for chance 10

TO SHELL CITYS CREDIT.
Water, Dock and Rapid Transit
Bonds Not To Be a Drag.

Bird S. Coler, president of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission said last night that Mayor
Mcclellan would soon send to the legislature
BILL prepared by ex-Judge John F. Dillon for
the reorganization of the city's finances divid-
Ing the city's obligations into two classes and
exempting water dock and rapid transit bonds
from being considered among the city's debts
that shall bear on the constitutional debt in
curing limitation of the municipality
The cltyS charter COmpels IL TO reverse the
rules or common sense finance" said the former
Controller last night, in commenting on the bill.
Business men capitalize their credit within safe
bounds. and thereby increase their business and
their incomes The city does almost exactly op-
posite If the city should give away it's enor-
mouSly valuable dock system. worth more than
SSOOOOOOO IL would be in position to borrow
the piers. So long the money laid out for
water, piers and rapid transit yields the city a
large profit, the bonds issued for those purposes
should not operate TO narrow the city's credit
The rule ought TO work the other way. We have
got to have money for rapid transit. water docks
and probably for municipal lighting but we can
not get the money without an amendment to
the charter which shall exempt income bearing
securities like those mentioned from being con-
sidered as narrowing the city's debt incurring
capacity
tee on water supply, OF which Henry r. Towue
is chairman, yesterday sent to Mayor Mcclellan
note calling his attention to the fact that next
fall there will be up for final approval by the
voters the constitutional amendment providing
that debts incurred by the city OF New-York
after January l. 1904, to provide for the supply
OF water. shall not be included.

BULKELEY FOR SENATOR.
Defeats FeSsenden IN Republican
Caucus in Connecticut.

Hartford. Conn. Jan. 12.-By vote larger

Ex-Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley was to-day
chosen the nominee of the Republicans or
the Connecticut General Assembly for United
States Senator TO succeed Joseph r. Hawley.
who on account of Ill health is unable to serve
longer. Mr.. Buckley on the first ballot received
154 of the 24A votes cast. his nearest competitor
Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford. having only
T3, while 8 votes were thrown for Congressman
z. J. Hill and FOR Ex-Governor George p. Nc
Lean. The nomination was made unanimous on
motion of Mr.. Fessenden.
The caucus at which the result was reached
occupied two hours this afternoon, and was or
animated character. Up to the announce
ment of the ballot the Fessenden supporters
worked actively and expressed strong hopes of
being able to prevent the nomination of ex-C;oy-
ernor Bulkeley, and in this they were supported
to some extent by the so-called independent eie-
ment, composed of men who opposed both Bulke-
ley and Fessenden, and desired a third candi-
date. The strength of this independent element
is measured apparently by the vote for Hill and
Mclean.
Morgan G. Bulkeley was Governor of Connecticut
from 1889 to 1898. He born in East Haddam
Conn.,. December 26. 1887, and educated in
Hartford He for time a merchant in Brook
lyn, but returned TO Hartford in 1872 and became

Amusements may be divided into two classes
