first time in the history of the Re
publican party in Iowa, at the state
convention in session today, the only
question over which the delegates are
bitterly quarreling is the Endorsement

publican congress and their acts.

Senators Dolliver and Cummins will
withhold this Endorsement from the

RICH GAMBLlNG-HOUSE
ARE RAIDED BY POLICE

OSTEND, Belgium, Aug. 3.-Amid
have raided the gambling tables in
the Kursaai and the Esser establish
ments, which make Ostend, next to
Monte Carlo. the favorite resort in
tune.
The roulette and trente-et-quarante
tables were crowded when, without
word of warning. the police in force
ing else left to them-the minister of
police himself had ordered the raid.
At sight of the police, with whom
some of the players had previous &C
Guaintance the rooms became an in
ferno.
Some women, shrieking, struck the
policemen who seized their stages,
and fought like so many viragos to re
tain their money. Two or three wom-
en- with titles, however dubious, were
forcibly escorted to the gardens and
advised to leave Ostend as quietly and
quickly as possible. Other women,
frightened half to death, sat silent and
rigid as If turned to stone. A white
haired woman wept and lamented
loudly that had the police delayed
their visit only one night she would
have won fortune.
In the universal scramble for the
stakes the cool-headed rascals among
the players filed their pockets with
other peoples money.
The police confiscated the stakes,
the costly gaming tables and mate
rials-even the blotters from the writ
ing desks, for the blotters bore the
names of the players who had been
writing letters or signing checks and
were needed as evidence.

institutions Advertised.

The naval branch of the Young Mems
Christian Association, at Sands and Charles
streets, Brooklyn, which was built by Miss
Helen Gould, and to which an addition was
placed by Mrs. Russell Sage, is advertised
nv the city as being in arrears for taxes
for 1900 and 1901. Unless the taxes are set
tied bv July y, the tax lien on the property
will be sold, along with similar liens on
rnsnv churches and other properties In
Brooklyn
r,anieI Moynahan, Collector Of Assess
ments and arrears, at the direction or
Controller Prendergast published yesterday
a catalogue Of arrears of tax assessments
for public improvements and water rates
in Brooklyn since consolidation These ar
rearages aggregate some 100000 on 14,o4s
parcels of property.
Under the amended tax law of 1908 the
city uues not sell the property, but sells
the lien. which comes before first mort
gage A tax sale Of this character mas just
been made in Manhattan, and proved sue
cessfuI beyond the expectation of those who
originated the idea.
Among the better known properties ad-
vertised for sale on July q, unless the ar
rearayes are met, are: Plymouth Church.
for the water rates for 1904 and 1905; the
Long Island Historical Society's building
al Pierrepont and Clinton streets, in ar
rears to the extent of 81 60 for water in
1890. ST Pa,1I's Roman Catholic Church, al
Court and Congress streets, and st. Peters
HOSPITAL. at Henry and Dean streets.
There are scores Of other churches and
institutions which are advertised for non
payment Of taxes and assessments from
which they probably thought themselves
exempt. In past years many churches nave
applied to the Sinking Fund Commission fol
remission of various assessments, but
Mayor Gaynor is opposed to a continuation
of this policy.
