Raid at Hewletts
Faro, Roaktte, uni Crap Gaines

Throoffa in the Ear-
if Hours
A little bungalow that is only a few jrards distant from the fashionable Holly Arms, and which is known aa the Casino, at Hewletts, was raided for a seliond time within a week early Sunday morning, but the result this time waa far different from that which followed the raid made early last Sun¬ day morning. On that occasion the rai^rs came away empty handed. They captured not a single chip, they found two men reading newspapers; in fact there was nothing in the bunga¬ low to indicate that it was the luxuri¬ ously furnished gambling palace that it was alleged to be, by those who gave tbe information against it " Ibis time, however, the raiders, a different set from those who sallied forth a week ago, found the place in full operation, and the gambling para¬ phernalia which was captured, and later carted to Police Headquarters in Freeport, is estimated to be worth 120,000 or more.
No arrests were made since Clarence Fellowes, jr., and Tom Nelligan, the reputed proprietors, who were found in the place last Sunday, were then arrested.
There was practically no evidence against Fellowes and Nelligan, and tne impression around Hewlett was that their legal embarassment would be short-lived.
0 The raid last week was made by County Detective Georgd Tydeman of Nassau County and two deputies, and the reason they found tbe place barren and practically deserted was, according to those who made the suceeaaful raid Sunday morning, because the place had been "tipped off two hours before tbe raid took place."
Tbe search warrant of Sunday was issued by Supreme Court Justice Scud¬ der, the complainants being ex-Con¬ gressman William Willett of Far Rockaway and Haiold'S. Williams, a detective, who made affidavit that he had bought $20 worth of chips in tbe place and gambled them away; Ru¬ dolph E. Ganter, a friend of Wil¬ liams's, and others. Justice of the Feace Gittens of Hempstead issued the warrant used last Sunday.
The bungalow is separated from the Holly Arms by an automobile roadway, whieh the entrance faces. A dance, attended by a majority of the young fashionable folk who are summering in the vicinity, was in progress at the Holly Arms when the raid was made. Tbe raiders were Constable Thomas W. Murray of Hempstead, John J. Dunbar, ex-Warden of the Mineola Jail; Chief of Police Archer B. Wal¬ lace of Freeport, ex-Congressman Wil¬ lett, and eight or ten other civilians.
It was about 1:30 a. m., and the dancers in the hotel were enjoying a merry two-step when the raiders ap¬ peared unexpectedly in front of the bungalow door. Tbe lookout saw them, and according to Dunbar, he gave warning by pressing an electric button tbat rang a bell in the main gambling room. The lookout was too late, however, and in less than a min¬ ute the raiders had battered dawn the front door and were inside the place. Two roulette wheels were still turn¬ ing, several men were standing around the crap table, and there was $8.30 still on the cashier's desk that bad not been put away. The raiders also say that a faro game was in operation, and that other kinds of gambling was going on in other parts of the bouse.
The men in the place were all told to remain where they were. None of them were arrested. They were in formed that they would lie needed aa witnesses, and would be subpoenaed to appear before Justice Scudder when the case of Fellowes comes up for a hearing.
That last week's raid was tipped off and that the warning came from Mine¬ ola those who engineered the success¬ ful onslaught on the place Sunday last say they are certain. They give the colored lopkout as authority for the statement.
"You folks should Hkve tipped us off like we was before," che lookout sakl, according to Dunbar and the others.
The bungalow waa said to be spen- didly furnished for ita purposes. Its equipment compared favorably, the raiders kay, with the famous gambling houses that used to exist in Manhattan before they were put out of busineaa.
The place was dismantled, and all tba roulette wheels, fare layouta, books and several bnsbela of ehipa aarted to l-Yaqwrt, and on Tueaday takao to Joatiee Seaddar'a ehambait io Braoklyn.—Naw Yailc Tinea.

Dr. Theophilis Steele, 76 years old, of Brooklyn, who had been summering here for tbe past month, dropped dead at the new bridge in Merrick Road here last Friday afternoon of heart failure. His body was found several hours later.
Dr. Steele had been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Sophia Shropshine. For years he had been suffering from valvular heart disease. He was ill when he went out to walk at the time of his death.
An examination of the body was made by Dr. Howard M. Phipps short¬ ly after the death, and Justice of the Peace Corodon Norton, acting coroner, had charge of the ren ains. Tbe body was later removed to the home of Mrs. Shropshine.
Dr. Steele was a native of Kentucky. He had been here about a month.
If epxectations for the sale of Red Croas Christmas Seals this year, as an¬ nounced by the National Association for the Study, and Prevention of Taber- culosis today, are realized, one bundred million of the holiday stickers or a million dollars worth, will be sold. The National Tuberculosis Association will this year for the first time be National Agent for the American Red Cross in handling tbe sale of seals. A new llational office has been opened in Washington, and an initial order has been placed for 60,000,000 seals, al¬ though it is expected tbat double that number will be sold. Tbe charge to local agents for the seals will be 12i per cent of the gross proceeds, the National agent furnishing the seats and advertising material, and taking back all unsold seals at the end of the season.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has approved of the design of the seal. Owing to the fact that many people last year used Red Cross Seals for postage, the Post Office Department has given orders that letters or pack¬ ages bearing seals on the face will not be carried through the mails.
This will be the third year that the seals have been sold on a National basis. In 1908 over $186,000 was realized from the sale; in 1909, nearly $225,000; and in 1910 nearly $310,000.
The slogan for this year's sale is "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Seals."
New York State led the sale last year with 5,955,872 seals, Ohiocoming next with 3,743,427, and Wisconsin third with 2,770,112. In addition to these, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California and Rhode Island sold over a million each. Nashville, Tenn, selling 200,000 was the only city receiving over 100,- 000 seals which sold every one of them.
