DIVERS RAID GIVES NEW LEAD
TO GAMBLING GRAFT.

Inspector Dwyer believes that out Of
the mass OF records, covering ten years
business, which he seized yesterday In
his raid upon a completely equipped
poolroom exchange and gambling house
on West Ninety seventh street. near
Columbus avenue, he will be able to dig
into a new vein of police graft. But he
must first solve the identity OF the men
who figure In the gambling house books
az collectors Of the 500 weekly toll for
protection.
The place which Dwyer ra!ded yester-
day after Mrs. George Mcdonald, who
said she was the wife of the proprietor
had In melodramatic fashion dehed him
to enter her castle. was the most elap-
orateiy equipped clearing house for pool
room agents the inspector had ever
found. 1t was, he Is convinced. the CEN
trail office for hundreds OF betting
agents all over the city and most OF the
business was cleared over the telephone
wire.
The house was equipped like q bis

A telephone conduit led ten trunk linz
wires into the house. there was cen

WASHINGTON, May %. Senator
CLAIMS bill to prevent members of the
house and senate from serving on cam
paign committees and soliciting cam
paign funds in causing an amount OF
talk about the corridors and cloak
rooms at the capitol such as has been
stirred up by few recent measures.
Moreover. the bill has an amount OF

in both houses that makes it probable

is an effort to strip such campaigns III
a large measure of the possipllltieS Oh

Senator Clapp, of course realizes tha'

men in congress could not take part

The evils Of the present system are

efforts to raise campaign funds that, as

strumental in raising big campaign
funds. That the interests which con-
tributed expected to get their moneys
worth In legislation or the prevention
of legislation, is we'll understood. The
conduct Of the democratic COMPRESSION
al campaign committee in the days OF
Congressman "Jim" Griggs, Of Georgia.
was little If any more defensible than
that of the republican committee In
Babcocks regime. The conditions re-
vealed by the Standard OIL letters, In
volving members of congress - they
do. afford further reasons for the leg
islation Senator Clapp wants. The
conduc ct of the congressional campaign
committees under the regimes Of Nc
Kinley and Lloyd. furthermore, has
been far from above criticism. That
the eral tendency Of the seeking of
contributions by members Of congress
is to block legislation In the public
interest and to promote legislation for
special interests is not susceptible OF
argument as Senator Clapp and other
supporters Of the bill which he has
presented view it.
Powerful elements at both ends OF
the capitol are going to fight the Clapp
bill tooth and nail. On the other hand,
Senator Clapp has received many as
surances of support from progressive
men in the upper house without respect
to party.
