DEMANDS FORTS AT PANAMA.
 WANTS DEFENSE READY
When Canal Is Opened--Messaee from
 President Taft.

Washington, May In a. message accompanied by a detailed report from the war department, President Taft on Saturday sent to congress information regarding the necessity for beginning the fortifcation of the Panama canal in order to have it completed by 1915 the date set for finishing the con- struction of the canal
 The reports accompanying the mes sage do not give the exact locations of the proposed Qualifications, but il is explained that this cannot be fur nished until information has been ob- tained regarding the status and avail ability of certain parcels of land sit uated along the route Of the canal The armament for the proposed fortffi cations is enumerated as follows: Ten 14-inch rifles. twelve 6-inch rifles, and twenty five 12inch mortars.
 The cost is estimated in excess of $14,000,000. The report states that the board has examined the ground at the terminus of the canal and of territory in the neighborhood of the canals course, with a view of choosing the best sites for the big guns.
 Tt is the right and duty of the United States to defend the work up on which it is expendiug such an enor- nous sum-" the president says in his message. An adequate defense re- quires suitable fortificat tions near the approaches to the terminals. I am of the opinion that such works as may be erected for the defense of the canal should be completed, occupied and ready for operation at the time the canal itself is completed and opened to the passage of vessels"

SENSATIONAL RAIDS
 ON ALLEGED POOL ROOMS. Another Step in Determined War Against New York Gambling.

New York, May Tn three raids upon alleged poolrooms yesterday af- ternoon by police inspectors acting un- der the direction of the district attor- ney's office, nineteen men were arrest ed- More than three hundred men were driven from two of the places and a truckload of racing charts, telephone wires and tables was taken to the storeroom in the old police headquar- ters.
 The raids will be followed by a gen. eral war on gambling in the city A score of policemen have been taken from suburban precincts to secure ad- mission and evidence against the all legged poOlrOOmS.
 The two most spectacular raids were carried out in the downtown business section. The police planned the on- slaughts to the minute and at 4 o'clock one squad, led by Inspector Russell, trapped the members of the Tiger Lily club in Cortlandt street At the same time Inspector Daly and his men en- tered an alleged poolroom in West street. There was no warning, and the police came away with enough racing charts and other poolroom stuff to fill up their patrol wagon
 A third raid was made by Inspector McCIuskey, whose men broke into the Sporta club in East 18th street. They were delayed by heavy iron doors, andd when these were finally broken down the members of the club had escaped over the roofs of adjoining houses. One man, who gave his name as Albert Couter was arrested on a charge of violating the law relating to pool rooms.
 In the raids which were led against thes alleged poolrooms in Cortlandt street and West street Detectives Don nelly and Dungate, who formerly pa trolled the rural sections of Brooklyn, gave the inspectors the signal to rush the places. They had warrants which had been issued by Magistrate Breen in the Tombs police court
 At the appointed time. policemen sprang up from every point in the vii cinity, and detectives scaled up the fire escapes, while others leaped up the hallway stairs. In Cortlandt street the police trapped more than a hum dred and fifty men, but only eight were wanted in answer to the war rants. The raid on the West street place brought ten prisoners, who were picked from a hundred men who had stopped there on their way to New Jersey.
 The raids downtown attracted thou sands of commuters, and before the police could remove their prisoners they were compelled to call the traf- fic squad to clear the streets.
