RAID ON TAGGART’S CASINOS NOT A POLITICAL TRICK ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER Bj Frlvate Letted Wire. Indianapolis. Ind., July 9.—In reply ing: to John W, Kern, Tom Tagrgnrt'a attorney, who declared that the raiding of the casinos at French Lick Springs and West Baden was a political more, Attorney General Charles W. Miller scored Taggart and his associates. “Mr. Kern says the casino Is In no way connected with the hotel, the building being built simply for bowling and billiards and situated on ttie com- I'nnj’s Ki"Uiuls." said Mr. Miller. "1 wonder how nineteen slot machines got Into the building Jhat waa erected for bowling and billiards. 1 wonder why there was a second story, divided Into various rooms, where roulette wheels, poker tables, klondlke tables, keno out fits, bookmakers' tables and complsto pool selling paraphernalia were ar ranged and Immense blackboards placed on tne walls. "Just think of it. Last March the board of directors passed a resolution authorizing the execution of a lease of this building and directing a clause to be Inserted prohibiting gambling. Does any man In Indiana believe that such a lea!*e was made in good faith and that Taggart and Lee W. Sinclair thought ox such a thing as prohibiting gambling, which for years has been conducted in these casinos? Certainly not. "That recreation and amusement features are ‘both varied and unusual' Is set forth conspicuously In the liter ature of tho French Lick Springs re sort and Thomas Taggart and his <*«• ins*-l knew "f the umi- mil f. itus* s at the time of the execution of the March lense. "With the open, flagrant, notorious violations of the lnwa of the state un *!•■ i tin* n.isrs i»f Tmkumi t an ; St and the men who speak for them, will It appeal to the people to say that It was a political trick? How ridiculous. How absurd. "When the raid was made, men Just Jumped out of the second story and ran nway. Two of them have been, arrested. E. Derry, the gambler In charge, was caught at French Lick Springs, eight gamblers at West Baden and two carloads of gambling device were captured and shipped to Panlt. "If Mr. Kern cares to designate this ns a ‘grand stand play’ no one \ylll de prive nim of that great privilege. "There Is nd' politics In this move ment. The local authorities should have wiped these casinos out of ex istence years ago and this kind of business must bo stopped.” Americans to Honor Baby Prince By Private Leased Wire.

"Safe* and such things," answered the other. ‘‘Oh.” aald Jurgta, wonderlngly, and atarsd at the speaker In awe. "You mean you break Into them-;you— you—" "Yea," laughed the other, “that's what they say." He did not look to be over twenty- two or three, though, as Jurgls found afterward*, h* wa* thirty. H# spoke like a man of education, like what the world calls a “gentleman." "Is that what you’re here for?” Jur- gts Inquired. "No,” waa the answer. "I’m here for disorderly conduct. They were mad because they couldn't get any evi dence.” "What'a your name?" th# young tel low continued, after a pause. "My name's Duane—Jack Duane. I’ve more than a dozen, but that's tny company one." He sealed himself on the floor with his back to the wall and his legs crossed, and went on talking easily; he soon put Jurgls on a friendly foot ing—he was evidently a man of the world, used to getting on, and not too f >roud to hold conversation with a mere abortng man. He drew Jurgls out. and heard all about hla Ilf*—all but the one unmentionable thing; and then he told stories about hi* own life. He was a great one for stories, not always of the choicest. Being sent to Jail had apparently not disturbed his cheerful ness; he had "dons time" twice before. It seemed, and he took It all with a frolic welcome. What with women and wine and the excitements of hla vo cation, a man could afford to rest now and then. ' . ... Naturally the aspect of prison life ..** changed for Jurgls by the arrival of a cellmate. He could not turn ills fac* to th« wall and sulk. He had to apeak when he wa* spoken to. Nor could he help being Interested In the conversation of Duane—the llrat edu- rated man with whom he had ever talked. How could he help listening with wonder while the other told of midnight venture* and perilous es capes, of feasting* and orgies, ot for tunes squandered In a nfght. Th# young fallow had an amused contempt for Jurgls, as a aort of working mule. He. toe? had fait the world'* Injustice, but Instead of bearing It Patiently he had struck back, and struck hard. He wa* striking all the time. Thera wa# war between him and society. Ha wa# a genial freebooter, living off the ene my, without fear or shame. He waa not always victorious, but then defeat did not mean annihilation, and need not break bis spirit. Withal he was a good-hearted fel low—too much ao. It appeared. Hla story came out, not In the flrst day, nor the second, but In the long hours that dragged by. In which they had nothing to do but talk, and nothing tp folk or but themselves. Jack Dunno was from the East; he was a college- bred man—bad been studying electri cal engineering. Then his father had met With misfortune In business and killed himself; and there had been his mother and a younger brother and sla ter. Also,' there was an Invention of Duane's; Jurgls could not understand It clearly; but It had to do with tele graphing, and It waa a very* Important thing—there were fortune* In It, mil lions of dollars. And Duane had been robbed of It by a great company, and R ot tangled up In lawsuits cfnd lost all Is money. Then somebody had given him a tip on a horse race and he had tried to retrieve hla fortune with another per son’s money and had to run away, and all the rest had come from that. The other aiked him what had led him to safe-breaking—to Jurgls a wild and ap palling occupation to think about. J man he had met, hla cell mate had re- E lled—one thing leada to anothar. ildn't he ever wonder about his fam lly? Jurgls asked. Sometimes, th* other anewered, but not often—he didn't allow It. Thinking about It would make It no better. This wasn't a world In which a man had any bual ties* with a family; too tier or lattr Jurgls would find that out also and glv* up the light and shift for himself. Jurgls waa so transparently what ha pretended to be that hla cellmate waa as open with him aa a child; It waa pleasant to tell him adventures, h* wss so full of wonder and admiration, he was so new to the ways of the coun try. Duane did not even bother to keep back names and places—ha told all hla triumph* and hla failures, hla loves and hla grief*. Also ha Intro duced Jurgla to many o( th* other prisoners, nearly half of whom h* knew by name. The crowd had ready given Jurgls a name—they called him ‘‘the stinker.” This waa cruaL but they meant no harm by It, and he took It with a good-natured grin. Our friend* had caught now and then a whllf from tha sewers over which he lived, but this waa the first time that he had ever been splashed by their filth. This Jail waa a Noah's ark of the city'# crime—there were murderers, “hold-up men” and burglar*, ambes- slers, counterfeiters and forgers, biga mists, "shop lifters,” "confidence men,” petty thieve* and pickpockets, gam blers, and procurers, brawlers, beggars, tramp* ana drunkard*; they were Mack and white, old and young, Americans and native* of every nation undar th* aun. There were hardened criminals and Innocent men too poor to give ball; old men. and boys, literally not yet In their teens. They were the drainage ot the great festering ulcer of society; they were hideous to look upon, sickening to talk to. All life had turned to rottenness and stanch In them—love waa a beastliness, Joy was a snare, and: God was an Imprecation. They strolled her* and there about the courtyard and Jurgls listened to them. He was Ignorant and They were wise they had been everywhere and tried ev- ' ' thl# wild beast tangle It because they could not help they were In Jail was no disgrace to them, for the game had never been fair, the dice were loaded.

The latter gave him hi* address and mad* Jurgls promise to look him up. “Maybe * could help you out of a bol* aome day,' he said, and added that ht waa sorry to have him go. Jurgls rode In the patrol wagon back to Justle* Calaban's court, for trial. one of th* flrst things h* mad* out aa he entered th* room waa Tata Kli- bleta and little Kotrina, looking pale and frightened, seated far In the rear. Hla heart began to pound, but he did not dare to try to signal them, and neither did Klsbleta. He took hla seat In the prisoner's pan and eat gaalng at them In helpless agony. H* saw that Ona waa not with them, and waa full of foreboding aa lo what that might mean. He spent half an hour brood ing over this—and then suddenly he straightened up and th* blood rushed Into hla face. A man had come In— Jurgla could not see hla feature* for the bandages that swathed hint, but he knew the burly figure, H wa* Con nor! A trembling seised him, and hla limb* bent a* If for a spring. Then suddenly Jie felt a hand on hla collar, and heart a voice behind him; "Bit down!" - ' , He subsided, but he never took hie ayes off hla enemy. The fellow was atlll alive, which waa a disappointment, In one way; and yet It waa pleasant to sea him, all In penitential plasters. He and tha company lawyer, who was with him, came and took seats within the judge's railing; and a mlnut* later the clerk railed Jurgln’ name, and the K llceman jerked him to hla feet and I him before th* bar, gripping him tightly by th* arm, lest bt should spring upon the boas. Jurgls listened while the man en- and told hla story. Th* wife of the prisoner had been employed In a d* partment near him, and had baan dis charged for Impudence to him. Helf an hour later he had been violently at tacked, knocked down and almost chok ed to death. Ha had brought wit nesses— "They will probably not be neces sary,” observed the Judge, as It* turn* ed to Jurgls. "You admit attacking tha plalntllf7’' he asked. “Him?” Inquired Jurgla, pointing at the boas. “Y•*," Mid the Judge. "1 hit him, air," said Jurgla. "Say 'your Honor,”’ Mid the officer, pinching ht* arm hard. "Your Honor," said Jurgla obediently. "You tried to choke him?” "Ye*, air, your Honor." “Kver been arrested before?” "No, air, your Honor." "What have you to My for your- aelf?" Jurgla hesitated. He tried one* or twice, stammering and balking, to the annoyance of tha Judge who waa gasp ing from the odor of fertiliser. Finally, the prisoner made It understood that hla vocabulary was Inadequate, and than stepped up a dappar young man with waxed mustache* bidding him spaak In any language ha knew. Jurgla began; supposing that * he would be given time, he captained how the boaa had taken advantage of hla wife's position lo make advances to her and had threatened her with the loss of her place. When the Interpreter had translated this, tha Judge, whnee calendar waa crowded, and whoa* auto mobile wa* ordered for a certain hour. Interrupted with the remark: "Oh. 1 Well, If h* made love to your wife, why didn’t she complain to tbe aui>er- Intendent or leave the place?" Jurgls hesitated, somewhat taken aback. He began to explain that they were very poor—that work waa hard to get— "I see,” Mid Justice Callahan; 'so Inatead you thought you would knock him down.” He turned to the plaintiff. Inquiring, "Is there any truth In this story, Mr. Connor?" "Not a particle, your honor,” said the boss, "ft I* very unpleasant—they tell some such tale every time you have "Yes, I know," Mitt th* judge. "I hear It often enough. Th* fellow aroma lo have handled you pretty roughly. Thirty day* and coats. Next rate." Jurgla had been listening In perplex ity. It was only when tna policeman who had him by the arm turned and started to lead him away that he real ized that aantance had been passed. He gased round him wildly. 'Thirty dsyal” ha panted—and then ha whirled upon the Judge. "What will my family dor’ he cried frantically. "I have n wlf* and baby, air, and they hav* no money. My God, they will starve to dMthl" "You would have done wall to think about them before you committed the assault,” aakl the Judge, dryly, aa ha turned lo look at th* next prisoner. Jurgla would have spoken again, but th* policeman had seised him by (he collar and wfc* twilling II. and a sec ond policeman waa making for him with evidently hostile Intentions. Ho ha let him lead him away. Far down the room he saw Klsbleta and Kotrina, risen from their seals, staring In fright. Ha made one effort to go to them, and then, brought back by another twist at his throat h* bowed hla head nnd gave up the ntruggle. They thrust him Info a cell room, where other prisoners were walling; and aa soon aa court had adjourned they led him down with them Into the "Black Marla" and drove him away. This time Jurgl* was bound tor tbe "Bridewell." a petty Jail where Cook county prisoners serve their time.. ft was even filthier and more crowded than the county Jail; all th* smaller fry out of the latter had been slfletl Inlo It—the petty thieves and swind lers, tha brawlers and vagrants.
