surnrlse Was Complete

The surprise of the gambling party
was complete. There was not a move
made to escape on the part of any of
them and when the officers had broken
through the doorway the proprietor
and the four players and the gambling
paraphernalia were taken to the central
station. -
There Cartlich gave the name OF G.
o. Anderson and was booked as such,
while the players were recorded under
the names given above. All OF these
NAV or may not be fictitious. Cartlich
was required to deposit 5000 bail for his
appearance in police court this morn
ing, and he promptly gave this, and
also deposited $1OO each for the men
who were playing. -
The raid of the Central club was put
the carrying out of the fixed policy OF
Chief Of, Police Dishman expressed
when he first took office to close every
unlawful and unlicensed place in the
city and to permit no kind of vice TO
flourish. That he has accomplished IN
three months what previous police ad-
ministrations could not do in fifteen
years is something that the youthful
chief of police can be proud OF.
"Oscar's place, nor any other pace
of the kind cannot run in this town as
long as I am chief of police" was his
only comment on the raid last night.

Peary's party of some of the stores Of
the Greedy expedition In 1883. He
said:
"Ihose stores were left by me in

Talks About the Railroads.
In Des Moines Taft set forth his
ideas with regard to railroad legisla.
ton. He declared i'll speech that he
is in favor of an interstate commerce
court, similar to the recently estab
lished tariff court, to pass on appeals
from the interstate commerce commits
sion. to expedite and enforce decisions.
He would increase the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, Civ
ing it authority to institute as we'll as
hear complaints against unjust rates
and to suspend or nullify burdensome
rules and regulations by railroads.
Taft would give the commission
power to correct evils in classification
which has appeared since the estab-
lishment of the principle of govern
ment rate regulation.
The president has in view also the
regulation of stock issues so as to pre-
vent watering and the prohibition of
the ownership by one road of the
stock of competing line.
He would allow rate agreement be

specifies subject to approval by the

President Taft said he thought 1t
might be made effective by combining
i It's provisions 10 combinations having
monopoly in view. He declared that
he knew of no way IN which dis
tinction could be made between good"
and bad trusts. for he regarded all
combinations to suppress competition
and to maintain monopoly to be in
the same category, whether the terms
of the illegal contract should be re.
garded in some instances as reason
able" or unreasonable"
The president also discussed at
some length the proposal to except Ia.
Dor unions and farmers organizations
from the operation of the anti-trus,
law. To specifically except these or
CARNATIONS, he declared, would be
vicious legislation, but he pointed a
way in which they could be relieved OF
some of the onerous restrictions now
placed on them, but at the same time
he held amenable to injunctions. which
form of procedure he believes ade
quate TO deal with any violations by
the unions.
