The police hare been struggling for a ruling on this point, because while the selling of the real ticket is surreptitious, the herald ing of the result Is open, and presents an eaay method of reaching those who operate rha games. The point was taken under adrtsement. "People who had tickets had to go back to the store In the old days to find out whether they had won anything." said Judge TaswelL "I suppose this new method Is to arold having too many visitors to the place when the police may be watching It."

RAID IS HELD SIGNIFICANT Police See Meaning in Deputy Page's Action In Arresting Women. Deep significance is seen around po lice headquarters in a sudden raid. Monday night, upon the notorious re sort of Louise .("Mother") Olcese, on North First street, in which a deputy f:om the office of the District Attor ney took an active part. The raid was the latest of 100 or more which have been made on this place in past years, and the keeper has- averaged well in escaping with light punishment or no punishment at all. Beside Mrs. Olcese. her son Frank was arrested for conducting the place, and four women were taken as Inmates. These were subjected to questioning by Deputy Page, and are said to have made damaging admissions as to the manner in which the place is conducted. Rumors have been current for a long time that the Olcese house was a lead ing beneficiary of alleged graft in the police department, and it is believed that the arrests were made with refer ence to those reports. Deputy Pare, while admitting: that' he had caused the arrests, refused to say that there was any object other than that the condi tion of the place had come to his atten tion, and he felt Impelled to act against it under his oath of office. f
