In the City Court this morning, SS cases of frequenters who were taken in Saturday nights raids were nolled. Three frequenters and one alleged keeper of a disorder1y house forfeit- ed bonds, and six cases were contin- ued- Lack of evidence is believed to be responsible for the disposition of these cases.
 The first case was that of the al- 1eged keepers of a disorderly house at l 372 State street. A Spanish couple, i Milargo and Rafael Giner, who had 1 been in this country only a few days, | were arrested as alleged keepers of 1 the place, Saturday night. In the | City Court today, however, these charges against the man and wife | were changed to breach of the peace, l and the case was nolled. George | Guardrola, Joseph Ferrer and Miguel l Ortola are now charged with being the 1 keepers of the establishment and 1 their cases have been continued until l May 1, under $150 bonds in order that a more complete investigation may be | made. 1 EAla Miller of r State street and Annie Cuoqno of 457 Water street, who were also arrested Saturday night, charged with being keepers of disor- derly houses, were arraigned in the 1 City colurt today. The Miller case | | Cuono case until Tuesday. Charges l against nine men who were arrested Saturday night, when found on the top floor of t1re building at 457 Water ! street, were noNed today. All of the men were held as frequenters.
 Rose Lamont charged with keep ing a disorder'1y house at 27 Drouve street, failed to appear in court this
 morning, and forfeited a $50 bond. l Although forced to stand by in the City court this morning and see many of their prisoners released on a nolle, Burns men still c1ung to their stand
 that they will yet produce evidence
 which will bring about drastic action.
 ''This is only the riff raff we are
 letting go,'' said one Burns operative,
 this morning, 'fbut within the next 48
 hours we will produce evidence which
 will bring some action.''
 The detective further declared that
 the raid conducted Saturday night
 has the approval of many of the most
 prominent citizens of the town, and
 that these prominent persons have
 gone so far as to shake him, the de
 tective, by the hand, and tell him it
 was good work.
 Asked as to where the Burns men
 secured their auth ority to make the arrests, the detective waxed sarcastic,
 remarlzing' that the power was secured from the Lord.
 Another Burns man, in speaking of l the case of Marian Wilson, the girl
 who has been held without bail since
 her arrest Saturday night, admitted 1 that she has supplied no evidence as
 yet which connects the police with
 the alleged vice trust of Bridgeport,
 or duplicates the police in any way 3 with her own activities. Earlier in ' the week it was reported that the t Burns detectives were holding this / woman as the star witness whose con- l fession would result in the naming of . several policemen!
 r cutting Attorney Delaney absolutely s refuted the statement of the Burns ] | men that vice trust exists in Bridge = port. Said the prosecutor:
 e "I have had absolutely no evidence k presented to me as yet, which will = show that there is a vice ring or trust
 in this city,
 The prosecutors statement seems ,. | to have been borne out in the CitJ
 Court so far inasmuch as no evidence T 1 of this character has been submitted n 1 Many cases have been nolled, others r have been continued and still more e have forfeited bonds, but not yet ha! f any person taken the witness stand e to present evidence in the usual way z Another conference between May n Or Wilson, Prosecuting Attorney De
 Laney, Acting Superintendent Suck
 ley and Burns chiefs was held thi
 morning in the superintendent's of
 flee No information concerning thi session was given out, but it is un r derstood that the case of a Madison
 avenue man who was recently arrest Q ed on suspicion was discussed. It i
 said that an investigation of the af " fair resulted in the blow up of tn v entire case.
 , Mayor Wilson was in the City cour ,- again this morning, but took no ac . ton in any of the proceedings. Tn
 court took frequent recesses, an - during these breathing spells confer 8- ences were held in the office of tn
 superintendent.
 a It is understood that the New Yorl l. men have succeeded in prescntin Q evidence in some cas4es to the prose " cutting attorney. and that some defi 0- nite action in the eases of the prin o- cipaIs may be taken. Marian Will l. son, who was taken from a hous IS at the corner of Lafayette street an, 'd South avenue Saturday night, will b l. one of those arraigned tomorrow. s. It was rumored today that gunner ie are out to 'tget' not only Mayer Will
 son and Chief Allen c. Meyers, of tn
 Burns force, but also all officials wh
 are connected with the prosecutio
 of the vice men in Bridgeport. Tn 0r story gained considerable headwa. le this morning. but did not serve t in frighten any of the men who are al l. legged to be marked by the gang.
