lowing Strange Raiding Procedure.
Special to Times Republican.
Burlington, Sept. 13.-Seven men
were arrested on charges OF gambling
in q third story room In Dunn's
hotel late Saturday night. Chief of
Police H. H. Schwenker, Night Cap
tain Charles McElroy and three pa
trolmen were in the raiding party.
The men who were playing poker
did not try to escape and cash bonds
of 1920 were given to the police.
Here is where the trouble starts.
The chief refuses to give the names
Of the persons arrested, and there
would have been no publicity had it
not been that on6 of the men eau ght
gambling tried to bride a newspaper
reporter to keep his name out of the
paper. In telling Of the raid, this
man said that McElroy had told him
right name and that .McElroy also
told him he could have given an
other name.
Those gambling are reported to
have been men well known in Bur-
1ngLOn Wnlcn the Cn1e1 or police

their names.
Councilman Ogden and Mayor
Smith will investigate the night shift
o. the police force as they have said
they would act upon information Of
any irregularities. II accepting cash
bond with no official record of
offenders names, is not irregularity,
there is very little to prevent graft

Cedar Rapids, Sept. 13.-When is a
few hundred dollars increase in the
price Of property bought for and sold
to the board OF education commission
and when is 1t graft7
That is the question that stirred
Cedar Rapids business circle Satur-
day when reports were circulated OF
what was then said to be one OF the
biggest school scandals in the his
tory of the city.

cation. stirred by the reports that

When the decision was made to
erect several junior high schools A..
f. Groeltz was employed by the
board OF education to negotiate in
his own name, it Is said, for the de-
sired sites. He did this and the
amounts he paid for, the property. the
agreements with the property own
ers. the commission he received for
his part in the deals and the manner
In which the board of education paid
the commissions are some OF the
features under Investigation.
Members OF the board say lthey
understood Mr.. Grceitz was working
on a per diem basis, but he says the
difference in the price paid by the
board and that received by the own
ers on the property in question was
his commission and that it was un-
derstood he was to receive both the
wage and the commission for his
work. He asserts there is nothing
Legitimate about the transactions
and that the stir that has been
aroused~is caused by n grudge borne
him by local real estate firm and
several of the property owners whom
he dealt with.
According to A. G. Cherry, county
treasurer, Martini Dye and Horace
Hedges. owners or managers of the
three pieces OF ground involved, they
could have been purchased for So
$50: $500 and SALTS, whereas the
board Of education paid $4,000, So
500 and $4,000.
There are several other cases un-

which deal Groeltz is said to have
obtained a double commission. one
from the owner. one from the board
Of education and the per diem wage
