,,non TO explain. At the head Of one page is
written Tommy Account" but Just what this
refers to is not clear. There is another account
headed Colonel T." There are numerous other
accounts which will be explained before Assist
ant District Attorney Vandiver gets through
With h.r questioning of certain persons
But a study OF the ordinary cash book kept
daily and balanced monthly. with a record Of
the division Of the profits gives a pretty clear
idea of Just how the money came into the syn
dictate and just how rapidly the private bank
account Of the individual members grew.
The last months OF 1901 showed divisions of
over $4,000. and it is understood that in recent
years the divisions were much larger on ac-
count of the increased scope Of the business
In some of the months of which a record Is
here presented it will be noticed that the word
paid was written after all except one or two
names Grady" did not get the part that was
allotted to him for several months but il prob
ably was paid later.
With the information In his hands, the Dis
trict Attorney expects TO put the screws on GER
tain persons. and the chance to get the man
higher up" was never so good as il seems to
be now.

sistant District Attorney vandiver he hopes TO
obtain several indictments for violation OF the
poolroom laws before the end of the week or

inner operations of the poolroom syndicate, and
give evidence that be used against the men
higher up

afternoon by the police. Whether or not they
were made on general principles on informa-
ton from Mr.. Vandiver is not known.

- L.,

grand jury. His idea is TO get as much Informa-
ton in private from the persons whom the rec
ords show interested in made wagers on
the races through the poOlroom syndicate. II
these persons refuse 20 talk. he will hale them
before the grand jury. where under the pro-
vision of the Bowling law they can present no
valid excuse for not testifyiEg TO their knowl-
edge of poolroom transactions.

diver yesterday with information that had boon
subpGnaed by him. as a result he now has In
HIS possession some los cancelled checks belong
