With Allowing Gambling

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 1s.-For-
mer Judge Clarence L. Cole, who
Isingle-handed raided an alleged gam.
bling establishment on South Mary.
land avenue several days ago, went
into action again, causing the arrest
Of the officers of the Greyhound
Racing Association, on charges Of
maintaining a disorderly house at
the dog track.
The men arrested were Herman
9. Mulock, president; John T..
Hickey, treasurer; Lester Burdick,
secretary.
Magistrate William r. Page fixed
bail. at $500 and permitted them to
sign their own bail bonds.
The affidavit of Judge Cole, on
which the arrests were made,
charges that gambling and betting
on the dog races is countenanced
by the officers of the association,
and that the bookmakers are either
licensed or employees of the officers.
Judge Cole made several visits to
the track and secured much of the
evidence upon which the affidavit
was based. In addition. 1t also said
that he employed detectives, who
placed bets with the bookmakers.
Two weeks ago the jurist forced
Prosecutor Louis A. Repetto to take
action against the bookmakers. He
placed some Of his evidence in the
hands of the county officials. De-
tectives visited the track and are
understood ITO have ordered the
bookies to cease accepting bets
under penalty of arrest. No arrests,
however, were made then. Since
then 1t is understood that gambling
has continued.

Mrs. Helen Fiske, eighteen

From the deck Of a steamer some

flung herself from the boat. A motor

FINDING RAIL VALUES
COMMISSION EXPECTS TO Sc
CURE FINAL FIGURES SOME
TIME THIS SUMMER.

Valuation reports fixing the tnal
values of important railway systems
OF the United States are expected to
be issued by the interstate commerce
commission this summer.
The valuation work has progressed
to the stage where a number OF re-
ports on large systems may be COM
pleted in the next few months
The field work OF the bureau OF val
uation, involving Investigations made
in the field by engineers, land apprais-
ers and accountants, has been virtual
ly completed.
Work Began in 1913.
Records of the bureau OF valuation
showed that the underlying reports
which are made the basis for tentative
final valuations have been completed
as to approximately IS per cent OF the
total steam railway mileage IN the
country. go,
Valuation OF railroads began in 1915
when congress made an initial appro-
priation OF 100000. In that year the
commission had 81 employees IN ITS bu-
reau of valuation work.
By 1915 the expenditures had IN
creased to $2,183,296, and the num-
Der of employees had increased to l.
261. Since then additional millions
have been spent in the work.
When started it was expected rall-
road valuation would be completed IN
about three years. The work is now
in its eleventh year and it IS estlma.t,,
ed that two or three more years VIII
elapse before final valuations have
been made on all the railways OF the
country.
