Judge Sea- sustzined objections to all ques- tions that might compel the disclosure, and while it is generally believed that Smith is employed by the Grand Jury, the b the cigar men got out of him was that he is confidential agent for persons he refused to name. The =uit of Cigar Merchant Magner was dismissed, but several yet remain to be heard. Judge Seawell will take them up this morning and decide all f the cases at once, perhaps before the end of the week OPEN WAR -— ON POOLROOMS. | Nine Arrests in Grand Jury Raid on Abrams’ Resort, The Grand Jury started its war on the poolrooms in earnest yesterday. Nine arrests were made at Zick Abrams’ resort and nearly all the big poolrooms suspended business. Information of the Grand Jury's in- tentions had reached the poolrooms in Some manner, otherwise wholesale ar- rests would have been made. Fore- man Andrews is greatly disappointed over the small number of arrests. . Places that were running full blast last week were deserted yesterday. One resort, the M. and M., where eighty- five persons were seen last Saturday supposed to be buying pools, went out of business entirely. When a posse, in eharge of H. J. Cordes and John H. Speck of the Grand Jury and Under Sheriff Hynes, arrived in front of it, the furniture w being moved into t. Grand Jury detectives will t and any effort to re-establish business in another guarter The raid on Abrams’ place was in charge of Secretary W, V. Bryan and Deputy Sheriff J. J. Donovan. A pos: of deputies from the Sheriff’s office companied them. Here, too, the gamblers seemed to have had a “tip.” The place was deserted. Bryan gave up the attempt and left Donovan. Later the Deputy Sheriff returned with his posse and dashed into the cellar. . Eight men and the proprietor were arrested. Papers and | tickets with the names of horses writ- | ten upon them were also seized. Following is the list of arrests: Zick Abrams, Samuel Harris, Daniel Cray- | ton, Isidore Levy, E. Bradford, John | F. Jones, C. Lewis, David Thorp, L. | B. House, A. Haas and E. Prether. | They were taken to the City Prison. | There was some uncertainty as to { what charges should be made against | them. Finally it was decided to i(h'_rge Abrams with running a pool- room. and the others with visiting one. | one. The ball for Abrams was fixed at $50 end for the others $10 aplece. The money was promptly furnished by the proprietor and all were released. | Foreman Andrews declares that the | Grand Jury and the District Attorney’s | office have in their possession complete | evidence to show that Abrams’ place is & notoriously open betting place. Mem- | bers of the Grand Jury and detectives employed by them have placed bets on Oakland races in the place. Evidence has also been gathered that the horses ran on which the bets were laid. This evidence was secured to prevent any technicality from being raised to avoid conviction. The proof is now ready against eighty-seven pool-selling places. | Foreman Andrews is puzzled as to | how information of his intentions got out. He ardered Jurymen Bryan, Speck and Cordes to meet him at the Califor- nia Hotel with the posses, It is thought | that a “spotter” employed by the pool- | room men was watching them and that he gave the alarm. ‘I am rather disappointed at the re- sult of the raids,” said Foreman An- drews. “Still, we have accomplished oné thing—we have caused them to suspend business. If they had not got wind of our movements we would have made some wholesale arrests.” The Grand Jury is determined to car- {ry the fight to & finish. They will take up the suggestion of President Poheim of the Police Commission. Poheim de- clared that if it were shown the Com- missioners that pools were being sbld | &t any cigar store or saloon the board would revoke the license of such resort. | 1 | The Crand Jury will at an early date | ! furnish evidence against a number of | | places of this sort. The raids yesterday were made un- | der advice from District Attorney By- !ington. Foreman Andrews did not con- , suit with acting Chief Spillane, prefer- jring to use men from the Sheriff’s of- fice. ——— 1 Will Purify Smoke by Water, ‘The Sanitary Reduction Works will give a practical experiment of a new | device to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

M. Johnson, president of the defunct Fidelity Savings Association of Den- | ver, on a charge of embezzlement of | 1 $11,000 of the association’s funds was | | begun in the Criminal Court here to- day. Other indittments, in which G. ‘W. Campbell, secretary of the com- pany, and M. J. and H. J. Johnson are charged with grand larceny and em- bezzlement, will be taken up at the conclusion of the case on trial. There are,a number of indictments | against President Johnson and the | other officers, in which they are| charged with falsifying books and ac- counts. These cases are based on the | building and loan association law of 1897, which a plea in abatement al- leges is unconstitutional, and the ques- | tion will be passed on at the present | term of court.

This will be the first western link of the new line. Kitamaat is on the Pacific sea- board, just north of the northern end of Vancouver Island, and Hazelton is 130 miles inland. The selection of the eastern terminus was made after considerable negotiat- ing had been done. Finally the city of Fort William, which is at the western end of Lake Superfor and one of the headquarters cities of the Canadian Pacific line, agreed to give a bonus of $500,000 for the terminus and secured it. There 18 at the present time a rail- way system some 2000 miles in length, between Winnipeg and Edmonton, known as the Canada Northern.
