Capt. Hodgins and Detectives MCGEE,

station had appeared in correct afternoon
dress instead Of the plain clothes Of plain
and simple cops the record Of the event
might have been turned over to the society
reporter. But rs a poolroom raid it was
clearly out Of his jurisdiction.
The agent Of the Park Row Building who
says there are 5000 tenants, declares that
he knew nothing about the alleged raid,
as he was pleased to call Il, until after he
had been informed by the reporters. Even
then he said that the man whose office It
was alleged was raided had come into the
building with the most iTreproachable
references, and these references had been
investigated and found all right.
+. p. Cans, the tenant who was so courte-
ously raided, was, 30 far as the agent
knew, a real estate man. Capt. Hodgins
took four men with him because he did not
know how many men he might find betting
on the horses in Mr.. Gans's real estate
office, 1895, tenth floor.
Mr. Cans moved into his room and had
his sign painted on the glass Of the door
about a week ago. Capt. Hodgins heard
about him and yesterday Detective MCGEE,
with the connivance Of the telephone COM
pany, called up Mr.. Cans on one Of his
phones, Nos. SS78 and sS77 Cortlandt. Nc
Gee said he was Mr.. Morgan, and got Mr..
Cans to place two bets for him, $40 straight
and $40 for place on Red Knight. running at
Aqueduct. Then Capt. Hodgins and his
painclothes men went around 70 the big
building and were shot up in the elevator
to the tenth floor.
The captain raped at Mr. Gans's door
and a cheerful voice inside said Come
I'M The captain was somewhat surprised
to find only one man. Mr.. Gans apparently
recognized one Of the detectives, for he
reached for sheet of paper and tore IL
up before anybody could interfere. The
detectives picked up the pieces and, putting
them together, found what appeared to be
memoranda Of bets that Mr.. Cans had
taken over the phone. Mr.. Cans sub
mitted TO arrest cheerfully. He went down
an elevator unreoognized and not missed
any more than pony Of beer out OF
