JEROME MAKES BIG RAID
Men Charged with Gambling Required
to Give Real Names Before
Bond is Accepted.


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Led by District
Attorney Jerome, the police tonight raided
an alleged gambling house in Tenth street
and arrested 1i5 men.
The new tactics Of the district attorney
were apparently a great surprise not only
TO the prisoners, but also to the lawyers
and bondsmen who iocked to the station
to bail out the prisoners. Fictitious names
are often given following such raid, but
tonight the district attorney instructed the
sergeant at the police station to require the
bondsmen 20 make oath that the prisoners
names and addresses given at the station
house were correct.
Although lawyers appeared at the station
house with bondsmen the sergeant re-
mained firm and in nearly every case the
bondsmen refused to give bail. The re-
suit was that at late hour the majority
Of the las men We're stin held in cells at
the station.
About thirty policemen, a score Of detec-
tives, two roundsmen and Captain Miles
OReilly OF the Mercer Street station par
ticipated in the raid.
To enter the gambling house several
heavy doors were battered down with iron
rails taken from a passing truck

Japan. On the contrary. so soon as the
Hrisunderstanding takes definite form II
viii guarantee the stability Of peace in the
far east.
The Rourse Gazette says it finds that
the chief source Of Japanese Chauvinism
Is now shown IN the negotiations Of the
Toxic government with the governments
at Washington and st. Petersburg to be
"the utter bankruptcy Of the moral pres
tige OF the west in japanese eyes, owing
to Japan's easy defeat Of Russia and the
discovery that the solidarity Of the west
ern peoples in the work OF peaceful de-
velopment IS an empty sound"
The article adds: ''Thc war indicated
to the japanese that everything was per-
missible to them II material force was on
their side. The first step in the moral
rehabilitation Of the west Is a Russo
American rapprochement"
In this connection may he quoted a re-
mark made TO the Associated Press. cor
respondent by a Russian diplomat Of the
highest rank. who said: Russia places
the highest value on the friendship Of the
United States and realizes and acknowl-
edges that serious mistakes were made in
the past to which the impairment Of the
friendship OF the last few years is due.
Our task now is to repair these blum
ders."
