LAST OF THE
BUCKET SHOPS
Government Raids Chicago
Concern and Branches.
FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS
Department of Justice Announces
That There Are No Interdicted
Brokers Left East
of Denver.

Washington - The department Of
justice announced that with the sue
cessful conclusion of raids in Chicago,
Aurora and Toilet, ILL.,, it had practi-
cally eliminated bucket shops from
the United States east of Denver.
Chicago. elimination Of the fed
eral governments nationwide war
on bucket shops came in Chicago
when the Capital Investment COM
pany, declared by government officials
to be the last of the big bucket shops
in the United States, was raided, and
with its SO branches, reaching into
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Ohio and Missouri, was crippled.
''It is the end of the bucket shop"
was the statement of Charles F. De
Woody, division superintendent OF the
bureau of justice in Chicago, who en-
gineered the raids.
With the descent on the head con-
Germ, in the Rookery building, raids
in four reputed branches in Chicago,
one in Jolie. and another in Aurora,
Ill, we're conducted simultaneously.
Twenty-eight warrants had been is
sued by United States Commissioner
F'oote.
OF more than SO persons gathered
in the Chicago raids 16 were held by
the police who worked in conjunction
with the federal agents. OF the 16.
IL were subjects of warrants. Sew
eral have been prominent figures in
La Sale street for years. Others OF
the so telegraph operators and clerks
were allowed to go after being served
with subpnCnas.
Sidmon McJSie, who is credited by
the government with being the brains
of the concern, escaped arrest tempo
rarily. He is in Florida. Division
Superintendent De Woody wired to
authorities there to arrest him. and
started special agent with the war
rant.
The specific charge against the de-
PENDANTS is using the mails to de-
fraud.
According to agents of the depart
ment of justice the Capital Invest
ment company controlled 5000 miles
of leased wires to supply these
branches with news of the New York
stock market, and was doing BUSH
ness of more than $10.000,000 annu-
ally. 1t is said that on one ten-point
break in the market the concern
netted $500, 700 in single day.
The government alleges that the
firm dealt with its customers on ba-
sis of "heads win, tails you lose. :"

| DIAZ'S SOLDIERS
USE MACHINE GUNS
Chihuahua Rebels in Flight After
Heavy Losses-Federal Troops
Are Victorious.

Mexico City.-Seventy rebels were
killed and $50 wounded and ~ sol
diers were killed and 80 wounded as
the result of the first real engagement
of the rebellion near Guerrero. This
information is contained in dispatch
to the minister of war from General
Navarro.
The government asserts that the
rebels were completely routed and
that the government troops will have
little trouble in continuing their
march to Guerrero.
The engagement was between 400
rebels and 500 troops. General Ma
varro after resting his men one night
as they wore tired out by their long
forced marches, found the rebels a
few miles in front of him. He de-
cided to attack at once The rebels
were intrencned behind strong earth
works, and the troops started long
distance attack with rapid fire guns.
The rebels soon decided to retire
to second line of trenches higher up
the mountains, from which position
they were forced to retire by the
troops charging them under cover Of
artillery fire. They withdrew to a
third line of trenches, but were finally
forced to abandon these also by the
hot fire of the troops.
Then they fed, leaving their dead
on the field, but carrying off their
wounded. 1t is said they fed toward
Guerrero, where they have taken up a
position to give battle again. 1t is
said the soldiers went into the battle
yelling, Long live the government"
and Long live General Navarro!"
The report received at the war
Office says the rebels are well armed
with Mauser rifles and have many
good horses. General Navarro is Of
the opinion that the arms and horses
were obtained from the soldiers cap
tured by the rebels at Pedernales.
The result of the battle as given by
the government is not believed en-
tirely, particularly as to the number
of men killed. 1t is thought that II
the troops stormed breastworks, as
the report states, more of them would
have been killed or wounded, as the
rebels are admitted to be good shots.
The government continues to send
reinforcements north.

Not Cruel to Mrs. Haggerty.


Trenton.-In granting divorce to
Thomas H. Haggerty, sergeant-at-
arms of the court of chancery in Jer-
sey City, Vice Chancellor Walker laid
down the rule that conduct which
might constitute extreme cruelty to-
ward delicate and non-combative
woman is not necessarily to be so re-
garded in the case of a woman who is
competent If not actually eager to de-
fend herself. Mrs. Haggerty sued
her husband for alimony and alleged
that their separation four years ago
was due to the extreme cruelty of her
husband. Haggerty filed an answer
and cross bill denying the charge OF
cruelty and asking divorce on the
ground of desertion. In his opinion
Vice Chancellor Walker described
Mrs. Haggerty as ''a woman Of daunt-
less courage and belligerent charac-
teristics." The testimony, he said,
showed that she was not at all afraid
of her husband, and If he had been
guilty of extreme cruelty she had
condoned his treatment by living
with him for years after some Of the
worst acts alleged were committed.
The court pointed out that after Hag-
gerty had invited his wife to return
to him she refused to put his sincerity
to the test 1t was shown, the opin-
ion said, that Haggerty at times at
least INDUCED quite excessively in
drinking liquor. Nevertheless, the
court held, the evidence showed that
when they were together Mrs. Hag-
gerty was fully capable Of taking care
Of herself.
