This was explained this morning and he
was allowed to go on his personal bond.
Alley was released under a five-hundred-
dollar bond, after it was explained that
he was merely an employe of the COM
pany and had nothing to do with running
the business except to receive and send
by telegraph.
The Department of Justice expects to
have no difficulty with EdWard Everett
Taylor. whose place of business, 1t is al
legged, was the local Office of Boggs q
Co.. and his telegraph operator. Harry
Johnson.
Released on Bail.
Four of the men wanted were arrested
In Baltimore today. They were Edward
Altemas, released on $1,000 bond; Samuel
Raymond, Oscar ]. Rappel and Robert
Hall, all released on $500 bonds. The
department has been notified that V. +.
Randolph, against whom an indictment
has been issued, Is also in Baltimore and
will surrender himself there this after
noon.
Although the three companies against
been drawn have upward Of 200 offices
scattered about the country, 1t IS said
that the government will take no further
steps at this time to close up these other
offices. The government believes tnat II
has covered the ground thoroughly in the
indictments which have been brought
against the twenty-nine men.
While the Department of Justice has
considered whether it shall bring prose-
cution against the Western Union Tel
egraph Company for furnishing the al
legged bucket shops wires by means OF
which they got their stock quotations. 1t
was said this morning by Special Assist
ant Attorney General A. Bruce Bielaski,
who is In charge Of the bucket shot cam
paign, that the government did not at
this time contemplate beginning proceed
ings against the company.
Mr.. Bielaski said, however, that under
section $50 c., contained in the law of
1909, amending the act against gambling
In the District Of Columbia, 1t would not
possible to prosecute any person or COM
pany which willfully gave information
used by the bucket shop men. The pen
atty imposed for the violation OF this law
in a one-thouSand-dOllar fine or not more
than q year In prison.
The Department of Justice feels that
1t has excellent cases against the men
who have been indiSted, and intends to
bring them to trial as soon as possible.
The first step will be to bring about
other cities on the warrants issued here,
for the department hopes to round the
men up here and have the cases tried.
Hearings have been set for April IL and
the men arrested in New York, and for
April for proceedings against the men
arrested in Philadelphia. Those arrested
In Baltimore have already given bond for
their appearance in Washington. It is
probable that the cases will not actually
come to trial here until next fall.
The three firms which the government
has attacked In its campaign have done
business in the District of Columbia, and
thus became liable under the federal
law These firms were Price & Co. of
Baltimore and New York, e. s. Boggs &
Co. Of New York and the Standard Stock
and Grain Dealers Of New Jersey. Tay-
lor, it is said, was the representative of
Price & Co. here before he became the
representative Of Boggs & Co.
It is understood that these three firms
pretty well distributed the territory be-
tween Maine and the Mississippi river
these companies, It Is said. were women.
The women proved good losers and were
always willing to take q chance Of win
ming back their losings Of previous days.
There was q plan on foot, It is said. to
establish q bucket shop here exclusively
for the use Of the woman patrons.
Exchange Open for Business.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-The Con-
solidated Stock Exchange of Philadelphia,
