RAID THE POOLROOMS.
Evidence Shows in New York How
Little Chance the Player Has.

New York, April 2.-The poolroor1s sit
uation in New York is again attracting
attention, following two important raids
made by the district attorneys office.
One of the places raided was in lower
Broadway and the other at 112 Fulton
street. Both apparently were distrib-
uting points of information for a chain
of poolrooms, and important books and
papers regarding the illegal business,
together with a list of names of patrons
some prominent in business and official
life, were seized.
District Attorney jerome has had his
assistants examine the seized docu-
ments and today he makes public some
of the surprising things they found.
The books show that five men in the
Fulton street poolroom syndicate made
a profit of $4,000 monthly for many
months. The profits for a year are
placed at $3.50, 900, indica ting what little
chance a majority of betters have.
These immense profits, it is stated, were
made with a capital of 100000
The patrons of the poolrooms included
men prominent in business, social and
official circles, according to records, let
ters and checks found. The names of
many of these men will be made public
through grand jury proceedings which
the district attorney is about to inSti-
tute The men will be called to testify
and under the Dowling law they will
have to tell what they know of the bus
mess, who ran it and who protected it,
or go to Jail.
Sensational exposures are expected
shortly and the statement is made that
Mr. Jerome hopes to uncover the elusive
man higher up"

gave the names of Lester Hall, Walter
Leonard and James White.
According to the story of one of the
boys they wanted to see some fun
They first attempted to light Lacoco's
clothing with a match, but We're un-
successful They then went to a drug
store and secured a bottle of alcohol,
the contents of which they poured
over the sleeping boys clothing As
the flames enveloped his body, Lacoco
was awakened and after a futile at
tempt to extinguish the flames he
rushed into the street where he fell
unconscious. He was taken to a hos
pital, where his condition was said to
be serious.

IS degrees removed from zero.

marked 49, though in the western portion
of the state the three figure mark was
passed by one degree. The average tenn
perature for the month was 80 degrees OF.
