The West Side Clinic for Children founded by
Mrs. Harry Wallerstein, promises 20 become the

DISCORD I'm NEW HAVEN
Police Agg1eUed By Policy Raid of
Prosecutor Woodruff.

New Haven Feb. 10 (SpeciaD.-The Police De-
partment and local politics have been much
stirred up over the raid on local policy men by
Prosecutor Robert j. Woodruff of the Common
Pleas Court. The raid brought to light an Or
gained gang of policy men in this city, with
headquarters and complete system of street
selling of policy slips. The house of Edward T.
Quigley. the leader of the gang. entered by
the Prosecuting Attorney and $4,000 found.
The scheme has lately been TO run a walking
shop. the slip sellers doing business in Railways.
Winners have been paid by policy men on the
street
Last fall there arrest and the case
was appealed to the Court of Common Pleas.
Prosecuting Attorney Woodruff looked into the
policy business and came to the conclusion that
1t was being carried on without serious inter-
ference by the police. Last week Prosecutor
Woodruff raided the Quigley house. in High-st..
with the result that Quigley fled the town and
the game is stopped for the present. But there
mas resulted many city court complications II
appears that Police Chief Wrinn was not In
formed of the raid until it was over, nor was he
asked to give any assistance. Prosecutor Wood
run was granted police aid by Police Commits
sloner Louis Nj. Ullman. but none of the police
used knew the nature of their errand until a few
minutes before the raid. The City Court is ag-
grleved because Prosecutor Woodruff went over
the heads of the Police Department in running
Qu1gley out of town. The police say that they
We're making arrangements TO nab Quigley The
Keeling is that Prosecutor Woodruff while he
succeeded in breaking up the policy gang gave
the chief offender an opportunity to escape The
Police Department thinks Mr. Woodruff went
out of his way to give the Common Pleas Court
credit for stopping the policy business
On the other hand there is a strong public
feeling that Prosecutor Woodruff proved the
dliatory tactics of the police and did personally
what they should long ago have accomplished
When the Woodruff raid was being made Po-
lice Chief Wrinn finishing his annual re-
port and signing statement that the "lid' was
efectualy on in the city, and that gambling
was well in hand.
The talk of politics in the Woodruff raid is
based on the assumption that Commissioner UII-
man took this occasion to show Chief Wrinn
that he was not conducting his office in an eff
fective way but there appears to be little basis
for this, as the raid not suggested by Com
missioner Ullman, but Prosecutor Wood

VEIL.S RUIN THE EYES.
Chicago Specialist Has Marked IN
tipathy to Dots and Patterns.

Wilbur G. Rice. an eye specialist of Chicago. de-
clared in the course of a conversation with a
Tribune reporter at the Waidorf-Astoria yesterday
that among those who seek the services of eye
specialists the largest number women and that
the wearing OF wells is m great measure to
blame. The most injurious of all the wells, he
said, are the ones with a pattern crossing the
eye. bewldering the sight producing dizziness and
headache.
Such wells absolute menace to public
health" he said. Then there is the dotted veil.
Each dot in veil is worth five-dollar bill an
eye specialist Many cases of strained sight among
women are traceable to dotted wells, for these
Nells tease the mechanism of vision and irritate
the eyes Wells with large, infrequent dots are
on the face the large dots offer obstruction to
the vision. The result is projection OF the
pairment of the sight Wells with dots close to-
gether bother the eyes TO such extent that neT-
Vous women have been known to tear them OFF
In the street in hysterical temper. The veil with
the small dots far apart and at regular intervals
the least injurious of the dotted species in that
IL does not seriously interfere with vision Women
should never read through a dotted veil. The dots
compel them to focus the vision IN different direc
tons. and nervous affections result.
Gus OF all face curtains With its fine plain
1t should not injure the eyes any more than wire
window screen.
LAS for color white wells are harder on the eyes
than those of any other hue. because the glare
entails strain On the other hand. colOred wells
should not be worn. as they accustom the eyes to
an unnaturally subdued light and discontinuance
OF such light causes discomfort.
~ Wells too. should be worn close to the face.
Cheap wells should be let alone. for in them the
dye rubs off. thereby injuring both the ewes and
the SKIN Above all women should never borrow

with the total dscontinuance of the wearing of
wells added Mr.. Rice. there would be marked
decrease in the number of young women who need

AS consequences of the death of Marshall

Marshall Field owned the land on which the
temple is built. The women paid him S20,OOO

agreeing that the Miller bill on local option

Mr.. Scovel, the chairman, did not report the
measure, although strenuously urged so to do by
the clergymen who focked around his desk. He
said he wanted to the Bishops bill on high
license before making any report. 1t is almost
certain, however, that the Miller measure will
be reported without recommendation in the
morning. Senator Hutchinson. of Mercer, intro
