Especial from United Press.)

Washington, April, 2-Three indiet- nents. in connection with the opera ton of bucket shops in the District of Columbia were today returned by the Grand Jury here. As an excuse the parties indicted claimed to do business through the Consolidated Stock Elk change of Philadelphia. The total number of offices, maintained by the three concerns whose principal mem bers are indicted. amounts to more than 250 and the territory covered by them ranges from New England to Oklahoma. Raids are being made simultaneously today in New York; Philadelphia. Baltimore. St. Louis, Cincinnati, Jersey City and Washing ton. Twenty-nine brokers are named in the indictments.
 Attorney General Wickersham 1s- sued the following statement regard ing the indictments:
 ssIn the first indictment Richard B. Preusser, Leo Mayer, George Turner, William H. Li1lis, Oliver J. Robinson, ert A. Gnv. Al ford Marshall E1. Par rish, Edward E. Taylor and Harry Johnson are charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the Uni ted States in violation of the law which makes unlawful the keeping of bucket shops in the District of Colun1- bia.
 Nc~AAAON@ Washington and was the correspon-l dent here for Edward s. Boggs & Company of Al Broadway, New York Harry Johnson was a. telegrapher in the eTnp1oye of Taylor. Preusser. Lil- lis. Turner, Owens and Guy are asso- ciated with the firm of Edward S. Boggs & Company, at New York.
 s'This firm as well as the firms in- volved in the other two indictments allege that they buy and sell securities through the Consolidated Exchange of Philadelphia, and Ford and Parrish are their representatives on this ex- change. This evidence before the Grand Jury tended to show that this exchange was simply a. cover main tained to enable operators of bucket shops to conceal the real nature of their operations.
 'sPreusser is reported to be a. notor- ious gambler who was convicted of the murder of one Miles Mcdonald some years ago as a result of which he was confined for a year in an institution for insane convicts.,
 Mayer is a well known bookmaker and Turner is said to have been ex- peIled from the New York Stock Ex- change and with Lillis has been con- neeted with some of the most notor- ious bucket shop concerns in the country. A number of men named in

ONLY SHORT invoice
Local Factories Too Busy for
Long Lay-off.

An indication OF the rush OF bust
ness this fall in the Richmond factor
les is shown in the preparation for
the invoice at the Gaar. Scott 4 Com
pany. The factory has been closed
down for three weeks. the invoice an
nouncement being to the effect that
1t would open again on Monday. De-
cember 5. Heretofore the factory has
been closed for Ave weeks each year
The management of the concern
felt that with SO much business on
hand. 1t would be impossible to close
for the usual period this fall. The en-
ployes are more than pleased with the
arrangement. They will have a pay
day before Christmas. The factory
has been running steadily since the
Arst Of the year.
Several of the factories In the city
will close later for invoice. A few al
ready have completed this arduous
task. In nearly every instance the
men will not have to lay or the en-
tire time. The heads of the depart
ments and employees under them who
are familiar with invoicing are always
selected to carry on the work.
