Here is the official notification sent to the general superintendent the Western Union at New York, Chicago, San Francisco and A and by them forwarded to every manager in a city having a race track: “it has been decided to discontinue forthwith the collection and fistribution by this company of horse race reports You will please net accordingly.

District-Attorney Jerome has begun an investigation that will prob- ably result in a formal charge against the Western Union of aiding and abetting in the running of pool-rooms in this city. -The preliminary steps in establishing the charge have been taken and it is likely that President Clowry and other officers of the company | ‘will be called to the Criminal Courts Building and questioned by the Dis- trict-Attorney to-day.

MRS. LEROY JONES, HROM RACE TRACK WHILE (PHOTOGRAPH BY PACH.) MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED WITH HER HUSBAND, expenditures of the racing bureau, one of the most profitable branches | ef the Western Union’s business. If the books are not produced when} asked for, it is in the power of the District-Attorney to have the persons | refusing indicted for contempt of court. j The sweeping order sent out to-day followed a visit to the office of | President Clowry ef Jacob H. Schitf and James H. Hyde, of the Board of Directors of the Western Union. They were in Col. Clowry’s office, | or the -ixth floor, for quite half an hour, Immediately after their de- parture the order was flashed over the wires, » Col. Clowr+ through his secretary said that the order was final, and that it meant that the Western Union now and for all time will discon- | tinue the business of collecting and distributing race-track information | through its own agents. ‘This does not mean that the Western Union offices will be removed from the race tracks, ner does it mean that the Western Union will re- fuse to transmit information over its wires provided it is filed by persons not in the employ :f the company. Any person who may wish, for any | purpose whatever, to secure the results, betting and other racing informa- tio frem the tracks may get it over the Western Union wires if it is filed | by agents. This puts the pool-room business back where it was before the West-| trn Union went into the business of systematizing the gathering and send- ‘ng out of racing news. | “If anybody wants to send a message announcing the results of the ; taces from any race track over our wires,” said Col. Clowry this after- toon, “we are compelled by our charter to accept and transmit that mes- age.” i As announced in The Evening World yesterday it is not the intention ofthe District-Attorney to bring action aguinst the Western Union direc- tors as individuals. The business of supplying racing information to pool- rooms through a special bureau {is twenty-five years old in the Western Union. The proceeding will be brought against the corporation, but It will serve to establish that the directors had knowledge that there was @ racing bureau and that pool-rooms were supplied with information, That is all the District-Attorney feels called upon to show. TENDERLOIN ROOMS CLOSED. The pool-room keepers who were compelled to close yesterday because thelr information was cut off had arranged to open to-day, and all em- ployees were notified to be on hand as usual. About the only rooms that did | ' got do business yesterday were the Tenderloin places that had been getting | infrmation from the Western Union direct and were working independent | of the syndicates. They could have secured the results by telephone, but, there is such a wise pool-room following in the Tenderloin that they were | sired of being jobbed and concluded to suspend for a day. That the action of the Western Union in suspending the direct service in| this city alone had no effect upon the pool-rogm situation was absolutely thown in the raid made at 5 o’olock last night on the Mahoney syndicate headquarters, In East Forty-second street, where eleven men were busy | fending out information by telegraph and telephone over leased wires to various rooms. Where the Mahoney syndicate information came from be- | fore being scattered to subscribers is known only to the owners of the syndicate, the managers of the racing service of the Western Unton and the, management of the New York Telephone Company. . The mode of procedure to be followed {in District-Attorney Jerome's move against the Western Union involves the filing of a general complaint | before a Magistrate—probably it will be Justice Wyatt. Then a copy of} the complaint will be served upon the counsel for the Western Union dl-| fectors. Under the law the corporation has ten days in which to come into court and answer. | Meantime the filing of the complaint will open the door to a full in- vestigation, and in the ten-day interval the District-Attorney may call ‘whom he pleases for the purpose of establishing his case. i MAHONEY PRISONERS ARRAIGNED, Assistant District-Attorney Iselin, who has been put tn charge of the Westein Union inquiry, said to-day that he did not expect that vigorous ac- ton would be taken immediately. The case of the ten prisoners taken in the Mahoney room raid were turned over to him by the District-Attorney, and he expects to get out of this a basis upon which to formulate some em- barrassing questions to the Western Union officials. | The Mahoney prisoners were arraigned in Yorkville Court this morn- | Ing. They were represented by Henry Unger, who asked for an immediate | examination. Deputy Police Commissioner Lindsley, who was on hand mith Inspectors Brooke and McLaughlin, asked for an adjournment until % fe afternoon session of court, saying thet he had not been able to Bet ao legal form of complaint drawn up.
