Americas Moote Carlo is Put Out
Of Business
SHERIFF SWoOps DOWN ON The GAMES
TOM TAGGART'S FAMOUS HOSES
AT PAOLI, IND, ARE
CLOSED UP. T.;

PAOLI. Ind, July 10.-America's
Monte Carlo, the French Lick Springs
hotel. the sumptuous gambling resort
owned and operated by Thomas Tag
CART, chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, in which women as
well as children are said to have been
permitted to play for high stakes, has
been raided by Sheriff Maris of Or
ange county, while Deputy Sheriff
Jones led another raiding force on the
West Boden hotel, another elaborate
gambling den, of which Taggart is the
owner.
When the officers, armed with search
warrants. swooped down upon the two
health resorts" many women in fash
ionable attire were at play, while
children were counting the goddess of
chance at the slot machines. One
guest jumped through a second-story
window, but was captured by the
deputy sheriffs who surrounded rne
buildings.
None but the attendants and T, X.
and T. G.. Deery, the managers, were
arrested, but the gambling machinery.

coniscated, and the disposition to be
made of it will be decided by Attorney
General Charles Miller.
While the raids were in progress. the
state of Indiana. through the attorney
general. and on instructions from
Governor HanIy, fled quo warranto
proceedings in the Orange circuit
court against the French Lick Springs
Hotel company and the West Baden
Hotel company, asking that theis char
ters as corporations be revoked. that
they be enjoined from permitting
gambling on their property. that re-
ceivers be appointed and that admin
istration of the assets be made among
the defendants and their creditors.
The suits and the raids are the re-
suit of long standing campaign of
the women of Indiana against the
gambling house run by the chairman
of the democratic national committee,
whose influence in the past has always
been sufficiently strong to keep at a
distance the officers of the law.

had plenty of other evidence ana ala

him grew. When the negro finally
confessed he had perjured himself on
the promise of a reward of $4,000, the
district attorney took hand in the
case and has been at work on 1t ever
since
John s. Robb, first assistant district
attorney, who has charge OF the case
said: This is the most gigantic con-
spiracy which has ever dragged itself
into court 1t is evident to the most
casual observer that either one side
or the other to this suit has been
guilty of conspiracy, perjury, suborna-
ton of perjury and a host Of other
crimes When it is over we will take
our turn The courts of Allegheny

way. Regardless Of the prominence OF
the parties concerneu' ihloiliialioi1o

will be prosecuted, as far as it lies in
our power to do So"
Mrs. Hartje is calm and, despite the
terrible ordeal and fearful nOtoriety
she has been given, is bearing up we'll.
She is confident she will win. Her at
torneys say they have abundant evil
dence to prove that the letters pre-
scented in court were forgeries.
Hartje's attorneys are equally conf
dent, or pretend to be, and declare
they will show where they procured
the letters and prove them so conclu-
sively it will drive Mrs. Hartje out Of
court.
