81 ARRESTED IN
GAMBLING RAIDS
Detectives Descend on Roliti-
cal Clubs in White Light
District.
SO ARE DISCHARGED
David Hirshfield Said to Have
Made COmplainntns Which
Reused Police,
SO ARE DISCHARGED

J Patrol wagons went hurrying through
the bright light district last night in the
wake of flying wedge of detectives
bent on gambling raids and gathered In
rnety-seven unwilling passengers from
three different houses. including two po-
! i.tical clubs where election chances were
supposed to be the only kind the men,
hers would take.
The detectives first plunged into the
basement Of 15S West Fifty-fourth
street and started a small panic among
forty-eight men who were gathered there.
ISets were being placed on horses, ac-
cording to the detectives, although their
victims had various explanations for
their presence. The spectacle of the un-
lucky forty-eight being loaded into pa
troll wagons and transported to the West
Forty-seventh street police station,
where they were charged with disorderly
conduct, was greatly appreciated by
crowds of people who were on their way
to pay to see the same sort of thing In
the movies.
Although the bags were smaller at the
other two places the raids caused even
greater excitement and appreciation. es-
pecially by spectators of other parties.
One club raided was the Independence
League Club. In 22 West Thirty-frst
street. while the other was the Mutual
Independent Democratic Club, 1877 West
Forty-first street. In the first twenty
six men were taken In. together with a

some disks of various culors which the
police are quite positive are known In
vulgar circles as poker chips
The police, after looking over some OF
the names inscribed on the blotter, an
nounced that some of those names were
phoney. At the Mutual Independent
Democratic Club lookouts started bug
It is alleged. Some of those circular
disks were likewise unearthed here. and

place were all piled into the WACO
When arraigned in the Night Cour.
the forty Eight men arrested in the West
Fifty fourth street house .were dis
charged, as were twenty-one OF the
twenty-three men arrested in the Mu .
trail Independent Etcetera Club. despite
the suggestion OF Assistant District At
torney James Z. Smith, who urged the
, Magistrate to consider the men guilty
of disorderly conduct Many complaints
have been received, he said.
The raids may possibly have been
inspired by a letter understood to have
been written to Commissioner Enright
| by David Hirshfleld. Commissioner of
| Accounts, stating that gambling was
going on in two political clubs and sus
gesting that their charters might be
annulled. The raids were made by men
of the special service squad from head
quarters and members OF Inspectc. :
Bolan's staff.

The general scale of salary increase
for city employees that has been de-
tsrmined upon by the finance and budget
cemmittee of the Board of Estimate be-
came known last night. Inasmuch as
the personnel of the committee is identi-
ca with that Of the board It appears that
the recommendations made will be those
included in the 1890 budget. The lilli-
hood OF any cuts being made by the
Board of Aldermen when the document
comes before that body for final APP
proval is remote.
The compensation Of all city employees
row receiving less than $4,000 year,
with the exception of those in the Police.
Fire and Street Cleaning departments, is
TO be determined by the various depart
nent heads within the following limita-
ticLs:
Up to and including $1,000 a year.
20 per cent increase. with a minimum
CT 500 and a miximum Of 5000.

Der cent, with a maximum of $500.
Between $1.9o1 and s2,600 a year, 10
per cent, with a minimum of 5000 and
maximum of $3.50.
The advances for the men of the
Street Cleaning Department have not yet
been determined and are now under con-
sioeration by the committee 1t is ex-
pected they win be made public early

The advances that have been agreed
upon for the uniformed members of the
Police Department in some cases exceed
and in others fall short of the estimates
submitted by Commissioner Enright.
Commissioner brennan of the Fire De-
pertment submitted no increased sched-
ule. leaving the matter to the board.
In the case OF the police, the recon-
mendation Of Commissioner Enright that
the salary of the Chief Inspector be
Raised from $4,000 to $4,000 was ap-
parently disregarded and an increase of
$1,000 is all that is likely to be made.
