BY WILLIAM S. TARVER.
One hundred and twentyfour per-
sons, including five policemen, were
indicted today on gaming charges in
the most strenuous effort vet made by
prosecuting officials to sweep organized
gambling from the city.
Gaping the sensational series Of
65 raids by picked police squadrons,
which began last March 10 and con-
tinued through June, the indict-
ments-35 in number-include the
makers in Washington.
Touched off by the hastily executed
raid last February on the elaborate
Albee Building headquarters of Abe
Plisco. alias Jewboy Dietz from which
telephone wires stretched like mon
strous web over the city, the other
raids followed in rapid-fire order.
AS the wires of the horse race in
formation system, traced out by Fed
eral and local undercover men through
months of patient tapping, guided
the raiders, SO they formed the ties
binding together 81 alleged gamblers
and the five policemen in a single
Indictment charging city-wide con-
epiracy to violate the gaming laws.
Veteran Sergeant Named.
The officers named are Detective
Sergt. Fred Antionelli, a veteran of
~ years service; Precinct Detectives
Frank M. White Of the second precinct
srd Charles A. Buck Berry of the
eleventh precinct, and Pvts. Albert L.
Enbrey, jr, and William B. Satterth-
waite of the second precinct.
Although their part in the alleged
conspiracy was not specified in the
indictment, prosecuting officials said
they were accused of tipping off gam
blers Of impending raids and of fur
nishing so-called protection.
Immediate steps toward the sus-
pension and arrest of the officers were
expected.
In addition to the l24 indicted on
gaming charges, a separate true bill
was returned in case allegedly in
volving numbers racketeers. This
grew out of the revenge" destruction
Of the taxicab of Clair A. Kensinger,
"a, Of 2423 Pennsylvania avenue, and
resulted in the indictment of Maurice
E. Sweeney, 5000 block of Thirteenth
street, on charge of wilfuliy Destroy
ing movable private property.
Cab Pushed Over Sea WALL
Three or four men last February II
pushed the cab from in front of Ken

Estimate Of Revenue.

Estimate Of Revenue.
In revised form the tax program is
estimated TO raise eventually about
s9,l00,000, but some of the levies. such
as inheritance and motor vehicle
weight taxes, will not begin to come
in until the 1888 calendar year.
To meet the impending deficit Of
s7,000000 in the city's expenses for
the fiscal year that started yesterday
the immediate sources of revenue will
be the 2 per cent tax on luxuries and
the additional land value tax.
Establishing an entirely new system
OF taxing real estate, the revised bill
now provides for continuation OF the
present rate of $3.50 hundred on the
property as a whole-land and In
provements-plus an additional 81
per hundred on land. The land tax
is estimated to produce s4,8OO,oOO of
new revenue.
Food and Clothing Exempt.
The 2 per cent luxury tax, with
food, medicine and clothing exempt.
IS calculated to raise at least s2,-
100000.
These two forms of tax, therefore,
will bring in about $4,000 to meet
the current deficit.
Informed by Assessor Allen that the
system of real estate tax collection
will have to be overhauled to carry
out the new plan, an amendment was
inserted postponing for 80 days the
property tax installMent normally due
in September.
Summary Of Contents.
A summary of what the bill now
contains follows:
House section to tighten the en-
forcement Of existing personal tax
law, retained. Estimated to yield
s75O,000 additional from that source.
Increased rate on net premiums of
insurance companies, estimated to
yield 100000, stricken from House
bill.
House section revising gasoline tax
law to improve collection machinery
without changing rate, remains un-
changed. This does not carry any
estimated additional revenue.
Weight tax on motor vehicles re-
mains unchanged, with rates ranging
from SIS to sl2 on pleasure cars, ano
from SIS to $3.50 on commercial vehi-
cles. The s750,000 from this new
source goes into the special highway
| fund.
Inheritance and estate tax section
remains, but the higher rates inserted
on House floor by Representative Dies
of Texas are knocked out. This will
yield 100000 on inheritances and
100000 on estates, the latter figure
being the credit the Federal Govern
ment allows on the Federal estate tai
for similar taxes paid locally.
The business privilege tax, which
gave way to the luxury sales levy. drew
most of the opposition at the Senate
hearings. 1t would have required
virtually every business establishment
and professional man to pay three.
