RAIDS IN TENDERLOIN.
Cross and .SchlOttmdn Descend on
Thirtg-one Houses.

Thirty-one alleged disorderly houses were
raided last night by Inspector Adam Cross of
the 81 Inspection District and Captain Schlott-
man of the Tenderloin station In pursuance
of the policy outlined by Deputy Commissioner
Mathot, only the alleged keepers of the houses
arrested. The inmates of the houses will,
however, appear in court witnesses to-day.
The warrants for the raids were issued by
Magistrate Barlow. Last nights wholesale raid
the second within the last two weeks, and
caused much excitement in the Tenderloin.
The number of houses raided last night
tablishes a record it is believed. Not in
many years. at any rate, have many alleged
dsorderly houses been raided in single night
within a single precinct.
Superintendent McClintock of the Society for
the Prevention of Crime present during the
raids, and it is said that the society supplied
much of the evidence upon which warrants were
issued by Magistrate Barlow in the Jefferson
Market police court. Many Of the houses were
found TO be deserted. though there were signs
of occupants having left hurriedly. All were
furnished.

/ NO STRIKE ON ERIE.
Officials and Men Agree That Set
Element Viii Be Reached.

II is now looked on certain that there can
be strike os firemen on the Erie Railroad
Negotiations are to be started again to-day be-
tween the firemen's committee and General
Manager Stuart. based on the general average
wages paid by three roads which have recently
settled with the fremen.
The committee called on Mr Stuart yesterday
and formally notified him that the firemen on
the Erie system had voted TO sustain the de-
mand for higher wages for oil the hremen.
Mr. Stuart informed the committee that there
was no change in the attitude of the railroad
management, as set forth i'll the letter of Presi-
den Underwood of November o. He added:
You were at that time Informed that the
Erie Railroad would pay its firemen the aver
age wages paid by other roads in Erie territory
and operating under similar conditions At
that date the scale slightly In excess of the
average and may be to-day. but since that
meeting three roads have adjusted the firemen $
wages. We willing to take up the matter
again on that basis and adjust our schedules
accordingly.
1t was stated at the offices of the Erie that
the committee had accepted this proposition, and
! ii then arranged to go into conference with
the committee to-day
Meantime. Grand Chief J. J. Hannahan had
returned TO New York and the committee re-
ported the result TO him at the Broadway Cen
trail Hotel. Mr.. Hannahan would not commit
himself. saying: Il not posted on what has
taken place during my absence but L hope there
will be no trouble"
The Erie engineers committee, it was said
yesterday had reached a basis OF settlement
with the offias to the extent of agreeing on q
system of payment which, when the details are
worked out will mean higher wages generally
/ A member Of the committee said that, while the
pay for engineers on the Erie system who would
run the electric cars which the company was
going TO operate might be troublesome to settle
il would not affect any settlement on the main
line. In about a month the road will put in
operation sixty miles of electric road at Roch-
ester, but it may be long time before its plans
be carried out.
1t stated by Assistant Grand Chief Hurley
OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
that the New York Central Railroad had made
q satisfactory settlement to the pay of the
engineers who will shortly run its electric
! motors. He would not say what the terms OF
settlement were.

Civil Service Commission.

Elmira. N. Y, Nov. 2o-The Appellate Divis-
ion Of the Supreme Court. In a decision
nounced here to-day has denied the right Of
review to the local Civil Service Commission
William Lazenby was relea sed from the local
police department in 1902. Two years later
he was permitted to try an examination for
roundsman in violation OF the Civil Service
rules. which say a man must have been a
member of the department for the next preced-
ing six months to try a promotional examina-
ton. Lszenby passed and was appointed.
One year ago a new Civil Service Commission
refused to approve the police department pay
roll containing his name. on the ground that
his appointment was illegal. This admit
ted in the mandamus proceedings which fol-
lowed, but Lazenby's attorney contended that
as long as one commission had accepted his
name on the payroll il incumbent on its
successor to do so. The decision will be carried
to the Court of Appeals. Its effect as dt now
stands. would be far reaching.
