RAID CRAPS GAME
Boys Secure 500; Frightened
Proprietor Fires Shots
Into Ballroom

OAKLAND. Jan. 26.-Lewis Miller,
owner of a billiard parlor at 5109 East
Fourteenth street, Melrose. opened a
craps" game in back room of his
establishment last night and was
robbed of $40 table stakes by a crowd
of youths. The culprits switched off
the lights in the cardroom where the
bones" were being ratified and turned
the table over. The money rolled to
the floor and the young robbers "scram-
bled' for it.
Miller became excited and tried to
check the robbery by sensational
means. He CROPPED his way to a chair
stood on it, and fired five shots into the
ceiling. This stirred up a real panic,
for in the rooms above the billiard
parlor was a private dancing party.
The dancers thought they were being
raided by police or bandits and rushed
into the street The floor under them
was thin and Miller's bullets had
ripped the boards.
The police were informed of the riot.
but by the time officers had reached
the scene the youths who started the
trouble had disappeared. A few cents
on the floor of the back room showed
what had become of the craps game
stakes when the lights were extin-
guished.
Detective McSorley was detailed to
investigate the affair and arrested FIVE
boys of the neighborhood on suspicion.

How Nervous Men Get
Most Out of Life
From ..Succ essful NIen"

Every normal minded man
wishes to get all he can out OF
life-bJit many man knows that
he is falling far short
The successful man works,
eats and plays with the keenest
enjoyment. because his nerves
are keenly sensitive. He tastes.
hears. sees and feels all with the
highest emotions of vigorous
healthy nerves. As a consequence
he has stamina. endurance and
personal magnetism. which makes
those near and dear 10 him WOr-
ships his maniuess, chivalry and
StrenuOuSneSS
without keen. sensitive. well
nOurished nerves. such a man
would be an object of pity. and
not the brilliant success he is.
All men should have we'll n0ur-
ished nerves, but If the blood and
vital organs do not supply the
chemical or substance. known as
nerve fluid. then the waste of the
nerves is not renewed daily and
hourly as il should be. The nerves
become exhausted, giving rise
to such symptoms as trembling
hands and limbs. cold feet and
hands. melapcholia. hXsteria.
timidity. nervousness, sleepless-
ness. dizziness. heart palpitatiOn.
-
languOr and WEAKNESS at all
times. A most valuable nerve
treatment. restorative in every
sense, is TO be found in the fol-
lowing prescription. emanating
il is said. from a brilliant and
successful specialist on nervous
ailments<
The treatment can be prepared
in the privacy of home and thus
causes no one any embaTraSS-
ment- First get three ounces Of
syrup of sarsaparilla compound
in a six ounce bottle To this
add one ounce OF compound fluid
balAwort. shake well and let
stand two hours. Then add one
ounce of tincture cadomene COM

ounce of compound essence

take a tea aSpOOnful after each
meal and one when retiring.
1t is astonishing to feel the
new nerve force. the steadied
nerves, and the control of every
muscle in the body after using
this. OverwOrked Officemen and
the many victims of sOciety's
late hours and dissipation will
surely find in this the restora-

FIVE CONSTABLES
TO Be PUT ON GRILL
Alameda County Grand jury
Thinks That There Are
Too Many Deputies

OAKLAND. Jan. 26.-To explain why
they appointed so many deputies and to
account also for the alleged pernicious
activities of many of these deputies
ConstabIes Hampstead. Lane. Allen,
Carroll and Kiln have been cited to
appear before the grand jury tomorrow.
These are the constables of Oakland,
Brooklyn and Alameda townships.
According to several members of the
grand jury who have been carrying on
a quiet investigation during tile last
few weeks, the constables cited to ap-
pear have altogether too many depu-
ties under them. Many of the depu-
ties are appointed for political reasons
and a great number of them abuse
their powers
One of the charges that is made
against some of the deputies is that
they are employed by collection agen-
cies and often frighten ignorant and
timorous persons into paying bills by
threatening them with arrest and
showing their stars. Another charge
is that some of the deputies have been
altogether too active in the Chinatown
feuds in Oakland, being in the pay of
one or the other of the warning fac
tions.
According TO figures that have been
compiled the constables cited have
made the following number of appoint
ments of deputies since their acees-
sion to office: Hampstead 109; Lane,
90; Allen, 252; Carroll 152; kim. 40.
A few weeks ago kim discharged all
of his deputies because of the many
complaints that had been made of the
conduct of some of them.
In contrast with this the constables
of the other townships have found il
necessary to have only very few dep
uties. Ramage of Eden township has
eight; OLYMPIA of the same township
has two; Vsndervoort of Washington
township has two. and Roderick of the
same township four; Locke of Pleasan-
ton township has three. making a total
of 19 in that part of the county out
side of Oakland, Alameda and Berke-
ley.
