THE MORNING O REG ONI AN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 3,902. RAIDING IS GENERAL Jerome's Crusade Against Gotham Gamblers. - ALL HAD BEEN FOREWARNED Few Arreata Made But Great Qnkntl- ties of Gambling; Implements Cap tHred CaHHCld'a Place Sup posed to Be a Gibraltar. NETV YORK, Dec. 2. District Attorney Jerome's sensational raids on alleged gam bling resorts, begun about midnight last night, were continued, until 4:30 o'clock this morning and numerous small' places rere raided. The attacks on the latter, however, were almost overlooked In the public Interest -which centered In the as saults on the mansions occupied by Rich ard A. CanOeld and "William Burbrldge, Vhlch were entered by means of ladders, axes and sledges. The police say that Frank Farrell is interested In Burbrldge'a place. Great quantities of costly "evi dence" were carted from those places by the pollce.Hjut arrests were few. Up to last night a general Impression prevailed that Canfleld's, which Is In the heart of the fashionable up-town district, only a few doors from Fifth avenue, and near two celebrated, restaurants, was a Gibraltar.'" "which could not be taken; and a similar belief prevailed in regard to Burbridge's place, which was especially protected by steel doors. This place is Jn a cross street up town only a half block from Fifth avenue, and a few steps from a celebrated hotel. So great was public Interest aroused by the news of the raid on Canfleld's "that people flocked to the neighborhood until the intersection of Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street, the corner nearest Canfleld's, was blocked with carriages and people. After Burbridge's the raiders visited XiUdlam's place, otherwise known as the "Savoy Club." They .got one man there, a colored -subordinate employed about the place. . Jerome, Capjafn Piper, Inspector Brooks, several assistants to the District Attorney, and numerous detectives were busy fn Lud lam's place until after 4 o'clock this morning. They blew open a safe in their hunt for evidence. Earlier in the night. District Attorney Jerome made many raids In the down town Italian quarter, of alleged disorderly houses. These were "preliminaries," as it were, to the two big events, Canfleld's and Burbridge's. District Attorney Jerome de clined absolutely to make any sort of statement after his night's work. Cap tain Lantry. of the East Flf ty-flrst-Stretet Station, in whoso precinct the Canfleld place has been for years, declared to the reporters and others assembled that he had never expected to live to see such'an event as the raiding of Canfleld's. The raids were expected In every place visited. In Canfleld's the owner declared nothing had been "doing" for weeks. It was much the same In Burbridge's and XtUdlam's, although Joseph Jacobs, tho Citizens Union detective, last night de clared he had played in every place. But that the raids were to be made seemed to have reached the men Interested, for every place was prepared as If in advance. At Burbridge's they even left the great steel door ajar, and It was not until the policemen had mounted ladders and done some smashing that this fact became known to them. Then they went into the house In the usual way. Canfleld was not arrested. The report last night to that effect was erroneous. He was held at his house for identification by a detective who claimed to have gam bled in the house, but the detective said Canfleld was not tho man who had dealt for him. Later the detective said E. W. Bucklln was the man, and Bucklln was arrested. He is .reported to be Canfleld's manager. David Bucklln and Samuel J. Smith were held in 11000 for examination. Thom as McGldney, who was arrested at the Burlington House, was discharged. CARTRO PLEADS POVERTY Offers Germany Bonds "With Customs Revenue as Security. BERLIN, Dec 2. The published state ment that Germany's claims against Venezuela amount to 515,000,000 is, the correspondent of the Associated Press is ofllcially Informed, incorrect. While the German government Is not yet ready to publish the details of Its demands, per sons who have seen the' papers say that the total is about $2,000,000. President Castro represents to Germany that Venezuela has little credit abroad, that tho country is just emerging from active war, during which planting and industry were partially ruined, and that therefore, no matter how much Venezuela may desire to satisfy . immediately the -claims against her. It is obviously im possible. Hence an agreement on the subject must provide for. deferred pay ments. The seizure of the custom house, thereby depriving the government of an important means, to administer the country, would add to the internal dis tress and disorder. While President Castro's proposals are not disclosed, there is reason to believe that they include the emission- of bonds at a moderately high rate of Interest, with some sort of a guarantee that if the Interest or the installments of the prln clnal are defaulted.- certain Vcnpsiinlnn custom-houses may be taken over by Germany. There is" no disposition here to pro ceed with harsh-measures towards Vene zuela, as milderones will suffice to exact satisfaction; -hut: the German government is rully committed to the intention to ob tain amnio satisfaction. The claimants are constantly urging the government to press the collection of the amounts due them. In view of the fact that the long aeiay nas renaerea tne position of Ger mans In Venezuela more and more vex atious. Therefore It is claimed that the government must strike, and strike hard, in order properly to assert "the rights of Germans. GERMAN CRUISERS ARRIVE.

Conference of American Republics . Sleets to Devise Them. WASHINGTON, Dec 2. The first Inter national sanitary conference of the Ameri can republics convened here today. The governments of Mexico, Cuba, Chile, Costa Rica, Salvador, Honduras and the United States were represented by delegates. The conference is the outgrowth of the Inter national meeting held a year ago in the City of Mexico, and quarantine and sani tation matters generally are to be dis cussed. Dr. Wyman, Surgeon-General of the Ma rine Hospital, who called the convention to order, spoke of the closer affiliation of the American republics along sanitary lines, and said the motto of the present gathering should be, "Health, cleanliness. Intellect and morals.'" The conference, he said. Is assembled "first to gain Informa tion of the shortcomings of each of the countries represented; second, to discuss quarantine, which needs at times to bo strengthened, but which may bo mndo less severe with the increased knowledge of the diseases; third, to discuss sanitation; and, fourth, to make scientific investiga tions. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw also spoke. Assistant Secretary of State Hill, speak ing for the State Department, said that closer contact Is needed between the American republics. "I hope," ho added, "that the day is for--ever past when the difficulties between tho American republics shall have to be set tled by force of arms. The three Americas are sufficient unto themselves, and while we want closer relations of other nations, it Is significant that we have all that wo need." Dr. Hill pointed out -that disease Is an enemy that threatens to destroy us, and that man has exterminated the grosser and visible enemies. "Bears, for in stance," he added, "have been so com pletely exterminated that the President of the United States on a recent hunting trip was unable to find any of them and was obliged to return to the White House without a shot" Formal organization was completed by the election of Dr. Walter L- Wyman, Surgeon-General of the United States Ma rien Hospital Service, as president and Dr. Arthur K. Reynolds, of Chicago, as sec- MAN WHO MAKES DISTRICT ATTORN ET retary. An advisory council was also ap pointed. The conference adjourned until tomorrow.
