Acting Chief of Police Ander-
son is giving an exhibition of eff
cient police management in his
crusade against the lottery swim
dlers of the city, such as has not
been seen in San Francisco for
many day. He has infused a
new vigor into the department,
and down to the remotest patrol
man all bluecoats are keenly alert
for the novel undertaking of
busting" the lottery trust. Two
raids. one OF which was marked with
signal success, and the flight OF Louis
Schoenberg. the head of the notorious
m. & f." company. were the Important
developments OF the crusade yesterday
Maurice Solomon, the agent of THE
Kentucky lottery, whose operations
have been nothing but bald swindles,
was cornered in raid and landed in
fail. schoenberg was located within
few hours after his disappearance in
hiding place In Santa Cruz.
GOOD WORK FOR ONE DAY.
"The arrest of Solomon and the
flight of Schoenberg is good work
for one day." commented Acting Chief
Anderson last night as he chuckled
over the telegram from Santa Cruz
announcing that the chief of the
ticket crooks had been found there.
The energy with which San Fran
cisco's police department will disp-y
when 1t knows that the man in the
chiefs office is in earnest is one of
the gratifying features Of the lively
campaign that has been begun against
the lotteries as a result of The Calls
expose. Detectives Colen, Bunner.
Regan and O'Connell. especially de-
tailed to run down the members of the
lottery trust. have gone at their task
in determined fashion On every
hand they are receiving information
and cooperation from members of the
department. A remarkable harmony
seems to have come over the police
force under Anderson's guiding hand.
and the crooks of all sorts are likely to
find the city a very uncomfortable
hiding place.
swOoP UPON sALoMoN
Having been assisted by the patrol
men on the nearby beats and armed
with evidence that they had gath
cred themselves. the detectives
swooped down upon Maurice Salomon
in his lair at 1856 Golden Gate ave-
nue. Just as he was about to send some
of his spurious tickets out for distri-
button. The raid had been well
planned and well timed.
salomon was caught in the very act
of handing a package to Daniel Cardes.
a broker. Colen reached for the parcel
and Cardes shouted; Don't take that;
it's miner
Glad to hear you say So" was the
detectives response. you are under
arrest for having lottery tickets in
your possession"
Salomon stood QuakinE as Bunner
kept an eye on him for fear that he
might attempt to escape. The detec-
tives proceeded to search the room and
they gathered up satchel containing
1000 tickets to be used as evidence
against the agent"
EVIDENCE ON CULPRITs
1t was raid conducted along lines
of good police work. The evidence
was found on the culprits and when
the trial is called the prosecuting at
torney will have case thoroughly pre-
pared for him. History is not repeat
ing itself. for raid in the days of
the Schmitz regime was generally so
planned that the offender could escape
the meshes of the law
The detectives also paid visit to
Felix Latz at 205s Sutter street and
gave that individual good fright
Latz, whose name is unenviably linked
to that of the late FrankIyn by the
relationship Of brother in law. breads
