evening he Clipped away SO
When the banker figured up his credits and
counted his chips it found that Ettinger owed

P0OLROOM RAID FIRE.
DOPE" SHEETS BURNED.
Flames ignite Wooduorh and Panic
Results Damage Small.

Forty men who were found in an alleged pool
room at No. % East 8th-st were locked up by
detectives of Inspector Fogan,s staff yesterday
afternoon in the Mercer-st. station. charged with
violating the provisions Of Section 351 of the
Penal Code. in aiding and abetting in the con-
duct of a poolroom
The raid was made at 3:15 O'Clock by four de-
tectives of Inspector Hogan's STAFF and two men
from Captain Hodgins's precinct. They had to
batter their way into the alleged poolroom with
axes. once inside. they found the room full Of
gas and smoke. Forty sneezng and choking
men were fighting for the windows to get air
The cause OF this condition was found In
large galvanized iron tank, from which, the po-
lice say. flames and smoke were pouring Cans
that had contained respectively. benzine and OIL
were on the floor. The red hot tank had set hre
to a wooden partition. and this was blazing
1nerri1y when the men entered. All the evidence
is said to have been burned.
The first work was to put out the flames
which threatened the building For this
bucket brigade was formed. and some of the de-
tectives, with several volunteers from among
the forty who were later made prisoners
poured pail after pail of water on the ire before
it was finally extinguished.
While this was going on one Of the detectives
stood at the door and prevented the escape of
any of the inmates. Some tried to run out
saving that they wished to turn in alarm of
fire but they were stopped. Several times the
police had to draw reYolyerS to prevent the
escape of the men. ...s~.-..- T.
In the mean time the windows We're full OF
heals, and many were crying Fire! Ihese
cries and the smoke which oozed up through
the floor alarmed about fifty women working
in tailoring shops upstairs, and they started
for the doors. They poured down the stairs,
hatess and coatless, intent only on escaping.
Those on the second floor also took up the cry,
and there was pandemonIum in the building.
One of the detectives took his place on the
stairs and forced the women TO some semblance
Of order, assuring them that there was no
danger. e~sl
When the fire was eXtinguished the forty
men were taken to the Mercer-st. station.
Although the police announced that they would
charge the men with suspicion OF arson, they
neglected to do So but simply entered a charge
Of aiding and abetting in the keeping Of a pool
room.

REPORT ON ILLITER4CY.
Proportion Slightly Greater among
Women than Men.

Washington Nov 29.-According to a bulletin is
sued to-day by the Census Bureau, about hundred
and six persons out of LOCO in the United States over
ten wears old are unable write, which is equiva
lent 10 about one in ten OF the native white popu-
Iation only 46 out of every 900 fewer than
in twenty: of the foreign horn whites. l2S out of
every 900, and of the negroes AS out Of every
OOO are illiterate International comparisons re-
striced as far as possible to corresponding classes
Of the population, are the whole favorable to
this country indicating that in most European
countries iteracy is much more prevalent than
It is here although the United States is still far
behind Germany. Sweden, Norway. Denmark and
Switzerland There IS also ground for satisfaction
in the statistical evidence that illiteracy is steadily
being reduced In 1880 the number of illiterates in
j. 900 was 133 for the total population 81 for the
native white population. 139 for the foreign born
white and 56S for negroes, Indians and Mongoans
Women are shown to be more illiterate than men,
The percentage for females being l12 in 1000 and
for males 101. But the contrast IS less marked
than it was in 1890 when the iiteracy for the two
sexes was IA and 123, respectively.
In explanation of the fact that the girls have
caught up with the boys it is suggested that boys
are less subject to parental control than girls and
more prone to play truant and that they are also
more frequently required TO contribute to the
family income by becoming wage earners when
they should be in school.
Commenting on this condition, the bulletin says:
Tbus the changes which are in progress point to
the coming of time when females Of all ages will
less iliterate than the uldleS Iney also point
"a the coming of time in the more remote future
when ill!teracy for all classes will have racticaly

specf will thus be restored In millennium Of
literacy.
In the country the ilHteracy among children is SO
Der thousand in the city, using this term TO desig
nate collectively cities of $4,000 inhabitants II
is only 10 per thousand. The contrast IS least in
the North Atlantic States In this section child
illiteracy in the city is per thousand and IN
the country per thousand In the South the
difference is Marked in the South Atlantic division
80 and 1873 for city and country respectively. and
in the South Central 45 and 1si per thousand
IIHteracy is in general greater in the South than
the North for all classes of the population. Per
haps the fairest basis Of comparison between the
two sections is that for native white children liv
ing in cities of 25,fs0 inhabitants. In the
North Atlantic division the iliteracy for this class
Cf children is 21 and in the North Central Is; in
the south Atlantic division it is SIS. and IN the
South Central 1871.
There are fewer illiterates among the children of
foreign-born parents than among those of natives
