ARE ARRESTED
IN POLICY GAME ROUNDUP
Police and Anti Detectives Believe They Have
Caught Big Men in Swindle-Four Prisoners
Put Under Heavy Bail.

A general roundup OF policy swindlers
such as has not been made since the break
ing up of the Al Adams gang in 1909,
resulted yesterday in the arrest OF four
men who are said to be the higher ups
in every policy game running In the
city. Eight others, thought to be sub
ordinatcs in the fraud. were also drawn
into the trap which was sprung by
Superintendent Howard Clark Barber OF
the Society for the Prevention OF Crime
and Police Lieut.. Honest Dan Costisan.
simultaneously with the raiding OF the
policy headquarters at 219 West Elev-
enth street, where three Of the alleged
hackers were arrested. the detectives OF
Costigan's squad. led by the Anti-Crfue
Society men who rave been trailing sus-
pected writers" for many months. made
arrests in many sections OF the city.
For nearly a year and a half Super
intendent Barber and his men have been
investigating policy and the men behind
the game in New York city. Many
opportunities to make wholesale arrests
have been passed by in that time, for
not until yesterday had evidence been
obtained against the big men. the al
legged hackers who have been called the
mcanest swindlers on earth. because
their huge gains are made UT OF the
nickels. dimes and quarters OF the poor
people OF the tenements and fiathouses
of children. and credulous negroes.
Van Figures In Arrests.

concealed in "A laundry opposite the
house.
At $50 the door of the building at

Investigators Report.

The reports Of the amusement COM
mittee's investigators. according to Mrs.
Moskowitz. are quite sensational and
really come within the province OF the
Mayors Committee Of Fourteen. These
men and women investigators reported
that at closing time in the seven places
in mind they were invited out to apart
ments well known at the resorts. where
wine was served aplenty. Usually IL
was a taxicab party of men and women
and the patrons of the cabaret or res
taurant or t~rottery were not limited to
the hospitality OF one apartment.
The pruning OF the cabarets through
the investigation of Commissioner Bell
and his men has been threatened fof
several weeks. Less than a month ago
complaint was made by theatre men
thai restaurateurs were giving theatre
cal performances without licenses. Mr..
Bell notified the managers of the al
legged offending places aud they asked
for two weeks TO effect the required
change. When that time expired. about
ten days age. a few more days wer.
allowed on request. But on Tuesday
night after the Kelly case disclosures
inspectors were sent ont. whose reports
promise the decisive settlement OF the
question very soon.

Mrs. Henry Moskowitz. chairman OF
the Committee on Amusement Resources
and also a member of the Mayors Com
mittec OF Fourteen. said last night that
acting Mayor McAneny Is in perfect ac-
cord" with the programme OF her COM
mittee to correct the dangerous features
Of the Broadway "trotteries" and caba-
rets. The situation was discussed briefly
over the telephone. a longer conference
was arranged for to-day and there is
now no doubt In the minds Of the COM
mittee members that the city administra-
uon will support the reform campaign
which has grown out Of the Kelly Incl.

the question What is a cabaret?" Com
missioner George II. Bell OF the Depart
ment OF Licenses and eight OF his In
spectors have made Investigations very
recently OF the performances given at
the prominent cabaret restaurants. Mr..
Bell has the nightly reports on what they
saw and heard at the various pla rs
visited. but these will not be made pub
lie yet.
The committee OF which Mrs. Mosko-
witz Ia the read has been rejuvenated
because of the revelations made by Eu-
genia Kelly's mother concerning the
white light trotteries and clubs" Many
prominent New York women. some OF
them OF national reputation, have be-
come interested IN its work since the
Kelly case. Consequently the present

Meanwhile. though. the committee has
plenty Of evidence with which To prod
the municipal authorities on to definite
action. Half a dozen men and women
investigators for the committee. each one
working entirely unknown to the others,
according to Mrs. Moskowitz, have
turned up conclusive evidence against
seven of the most popular trotteries and
cabaret places along BroadwaJ. which
she believes to be infinitely stronger
than the evidence that prompted Mayor
Gaynor to close the old Haymarket

according 10 the committees chairman.
They are resorts which are frequented

Both the railway to Chandler and
the one to Ray have been seriously
crippled by the recent floods which
swept down over the desert. The track
to Chandler was cut as a last resort
to allow the flood water an outlet The
water was backing up for a consider
able distance on account of the en-
banhment and the track was cut as a
vice has been discontinued for short
time.
The train service to Ray is also
somewhat crippled. Nevertheless the
railroad company is making strenuous
efforts to keep the schedule intact. At
the present time three trains are re-
qured to maintain the service. The
Winkelman train runs through here as
far as Queen Creek where Washedout
bridge stops further advance. The
passengers and mail is transferred
across and another train runs as far as

further travel in the direction of Ray.

a short time until the regular schedule

EASY MONEY

A little plan for securing easy money
has been uncovered at the defunct slot
machine standing in front of the j. ii.
Barnett drug store. For some time
prior to the sale of the store, Mr.. Bar
nett had in front of his place slot
machine which by placing a nickle in
the designated place spoke the weight
of the individual standing upon the
scales The machine has been out of
order for some time and does not weigh
neither does it speak However, the
custom of placing nicllels in the slot
continues and to such an extent has
the machine been worked that the
nickelS have become congested and are
easily seen from the top and can be
had by simply pulling them out. In all
probability, the machine has had many
uncomplimentary remarks made about
it but since there is. no one in the store
to whom complaint might be made and
the machine refuses to talk back, d
dilemma is clearly evident. 1t has not
been established just who should re-
ceive the money. 1t rightfully belongs
to the depositors but they are evidently
somewhat scattered throughout the
community and it would require con
siderable time to establish just who
they are. At any rate the machine
continues to do business at the old
stand as unspeakable as ever.
