signed ALFRED Rogers. v. s."
Rogers was arrested by Plainelothes-
man Kaas. of the Fourth Precinct, yes
terday afternoon, who had been looking
for him since June 10. Rogers was not
arraigned his morning with the other
prisoners, who were rounded up by the
Sheriff's men and police, as Captain
Vogel wants to procure more evidence
against him.
Rogers is smooth-faced, with sharp fea-
lures. and wears fashionably cut clothes,
and could easily pass as a responsible per-
son at drug stores.
More than eighty persons have been ar
rested this week as alleged users of CO.
came, and the police say that the end Is
not anywhere near in sight, as there are
still hundreds of people In this city who
are using the drug.
There were four men arraigned in the
Fourth Precinct Court this morning on
complaints made by Deputy Sheriff
Charles L.. Mason, sworn out before JUS
tice of the Peace Bossett last night.

Koplus. 10 years old, of Ss Clayton street;
Louis Winarsky. II years old. of so Rose
street, and Malacei Reeson, negro, Is
years old, of 10 Jones street.
When they were arraigned before Act
ing Judge Pierson, Marks wife was in
the courtroom. and when the complaints
were read she got up from her seat and.
in a very tragic way, exclaimed:
Judge, 1t is a lie; my husband never
used cocaine"
All of the prisoners were held in $500
bail each for the Grand Jury.
Marks and Winarsky were released in bail
offered by relatives. The men were ar
rested by Detective King. of the Sheriff.

Reilly.

n five plainclothesnen from the First
Precinct left the station house. in Will
lam street at s o'clock, and, working in

Weintraub. through his counsel, pleaded
not guilty and will be given a hearing
on the 18th.
Captain Ryan's men and the men sent
out by the Sheriff worked together in ac-
cord, and the fiasco of the previous night,
when the Sheriff's men went out without
the officers. was avoided, with the result
that some of the most important members
of the gang were rounded mp.
1t was rumored today that there is a
list of several hundred names In the hands
Of the police and the Sheriff men, and
that before the crusade is over most of
the men on the list will be landed.
1t was said this morning that the mem
bers of the gang not in custody are or
ganizing, and with financial aid from
members Of the main gang in New York
will employ the best counsel ~obtainable
for their pals. as they claim that most Of
those arrested have been taken into GUS
tody without sufficient evidence.
