New York, August 26, ?The gamb?

Although Webber, confessed accom?
plice In the ihurder, Is In Jail, the place
has been running for some weeks us;
an Incorporated "poker til ?b" by some
of "Urldgie's" friends, it is said.
After two of Dwyers's men had en-1
tered the place a day or two ago andj
found a poker gnnte in progress, war?
rants were procured, and to-night ttio
new Inspector went over the head of
the police captain of the precinct ami
led ttie raid himself. A man who de
.1 Itlmsell ns Kirk Brown, a clerk,
was arrested and many tWeks of cards,
poker chips and tables were cbhflacnt-l
Police Commissioner Waldo to-night
promised to make public to-morrow a
list of the names of the owners and
agents or buildings rent.-d for gamb?
ling houses anil other resorts, which
he has had prepared for use of the dis?
trict attorney in the John Doe pro?
ceedings before Justice Goff to ex?
pose police corruption. This list, ac?
cording to information obtained at po
lice headquarters to-day, contains thu
names of men high in social and tt
nuueial circles of the city.
That th. district attorney would uso
tin list lor purposes of prosecution af?
ter the ownership of the lllegnll> used
properties had been established by
testimony before Justice G?rt was made
known to-day by a representative of
th.- district attorney. While it is ex?
pected that the excuse of the owners
will be that they wore not iiw.tr.- ,.r
the us, to which their property was
being put, the State expects to under?
mine this plea by demanding an ex?
planation of th" unusually high rents
which they charged for the proprle

The end was marked with a return

Senator r..i Follette, demanding acttok
upon the Penrbse campaign fund res\

away in front of him. and the resolu?

Senators Chamberlain, Martin. Swan

Senate to yield to the demands of th*
IIoust and strike these claims front
the bill. In return for this conces?
sion, however, they received the prom?
ise of support next winter, when the
claims again will be pressed for pay?
ment.
With these old claims, amounting In
all to $600.000, went the "extra

ployes, which the Senate demanded anj
the House refused to give. In the last

The session "Just fizzled out'" in the
Senato. to use the words of one ob
servcr. a comparative handful of
members occupied their seats and a
call for a o,uorum In either the Houso
or Senate would have forced a return

A wild outburst of applause greeted

Further animation and color was lent
to the scene when tin- women flocked
down from the galleries to loin hus?
bands and fathers on the floor. Tho
corridors were crowded with tired but
happy members and their families und
friends, and Speaker Clark's room was
crowded with friends and admirers,
