Friend lice Duplicated Mewberv Cards. A supposed "poolroom, called the Noonday Social Club, at 96 and 98 Church T3tret. 1 near Barclay, waa raided yesterday after-J noon by Capt.

Thomas Rogers, thirty-four tears old, of 38 Desbrosses Street: Patriok Tuffy.

fortr years- of 107 Franklin Street, and Dtrid fifty-one years 'old, of 'Talr- teenth Street and University Place, were; arrested on warrants issued by Justice Holbrook of Special Sessions. petecUvea Courtnay and Gilbert were stationed Inside the room aaj met Capt. Burns and ten policemen at the first door, i They forced the lock'of the second door and got Into the room, where there were one hand red and fifty All tried to get out but twenty policemen had surrounded the house and kept them In. Seme of them tried to escape by getting ouf' of the windows the. north-bound platform of the Park Place station of the elevated roadV but stopped.

Two the prisoners, Puffy and Cole, climbed out of a window and stepped on a 'wire-netting kadiog to the old Metropolitan Ufa build-tag. The netting hung over a space 1 0f about twenty-five feet in depth, and ft sques ked when the weight of the two men rested on It. It held, however, and the prisoners climbed, through 'opposite window. They went down stairs to the street, but were met by Patrolman Teainy, who arrested The police confiscated a great amount of cards, racing telegraph, lnstru- menta. and a roejraphone.

It was rumored that a prominent politician had been caught 1n the raid, but it was subsequently learned that the man referred to had only been affiliated with the Tammany Hall organisation In Daniel E. Finn's district. Assemblyman Andrew Doyle who gave bail for the five prisoners late laet night, -denied that any of tie men were affiliated with Tammany Hall at the present time, but said they were his friends." was 11:30 o'clock when the man Were balled out. Magistrate Mayo, who accepted the bonds, was -the oniy Magistrate who be found. He held them for Magistrate Breen, in th.

Tombs Court thia mora- When Assemblyman Doyle was asked about his interest In the caae he said; "Why, these men. are my friend, and that's why I'm here. That'a what an Assemblyman or an Alderman Is elected for to get their friends out of trouble in cases like these. I guess If I didn't show- up here I'd have to look the other way neat election. When a man has friends and he's an Assemblyman, he's got to look after them, that's all." He denied that any of the prisoners Were affiliated with the Tammany organisation in his district "Mr.

Strlpp used to live down here, end I've known him slnc a Said Mr. Doyle. end he's a good friend. 7 He lives in Brooklyn now, and has lor several years." Capt. Burns obtained his evidence against place in a unique way.

The guards were strong and he learned that one had to have a card showing that the. holder was a member of the club. By chance one of these cards fell into the hands of the Captain. He tried In vain to get another one like it. Knowing -that it would re- coirs the evidence of two witnesses to have the men held, he took the card to a printer, sod had fifty made just like it On the card were the initials T.

He copied the writing us carefully a he could, and! fare -two of the' cards to his detective. this way they easily gained access to the -place. We have to resort to little tricks of that kind in these times." said Capt Burns. On one side of the card was a list Of officers, including President Vice President Secretary. Treasurer, and Sergeant at Arms, a Board of Trustees, and a Mem-betfchip Committee.

On the reverse side was printed -In large letters Member's Card." Under. that was a space "for a name to be written, and the lower half was divided off into spaces for the months to rbow to what date a member's duee had been paid tip. DAMPNESS DELAYS TRAFFIC.

The Reorganization Committee's attorney replied to the effect that the Reorganisation Committee declined to carry out the suggestions contained In that letter.

ISRAELITE ALLIANCE PROTEST. Want Ruaalan Treaty Changed 8o ae to Prevent Discrimination Against Americana of Jewish Faith. The Israelite Alliance of America baa published a pamphlet protesting against discrimination, by-the Russian Government against American citizens of Jewish faith. The pamphlet gives a history of the efforts of American diplomats to force Russia to recede from its position. It seems that Russia has insisted on this discrimination for many years in spite of a treaty consummated in 1S32 by which that country agreed to permit American citizens to sojourn, and reside, in order to attend to their affairs.

In every part of Russian territory, and "in which Russia' also agreed to give to such Americans the same protection and security which Its own subjects Since, that time cases have been coming up continually In which the right of American citizens of Jewish faith to enter Russia la sold to have been Involved, but 1n spite of many notes and protests from the diplomatic representatives of this Government Russia Is said to have refused to withdraw from the position-which It bad assumed. Ihe pamphlet enters an emphatid protest against this state of affairs in these words: Csn we, as American citizens, stand idly by and permit this outrage to continue without raising a single voice of protest? The eminent political position attained by the United States among th nations of the earth merits and receives the high esteem In which It is now so universally held. It la 'and feared everywhere. But higher than all and Incomparably Is the institution of civil, political, and religious freedom which underlies the foundation of this Republic This Is the real cause of Its strength and its existence; It rests on the integrity of Its citizenship. Take from the citizen of the United -States the integral strength of cit izenship and you destroy the source of Its strength and the very reason for its existence.

An- American citizen abroad, with aa American passport property and legally granted him, should be granted the legal rights to which the laws of the United States entitle him. "The United States should insist on a revision or amendment of lts treaty with Russia to the effect that no American citi zen visiting that country, or desiring to' sojourn there, presenting an American passport, shall be refused admission on account of his religious belief Such action would be American, and as Americans we demand such action. -We demand such action because we are Americans and we would be 'unworthy 'of American citizenship did we not demand it We demand it because it Is our right under the law, and because our demand is Just reasonable, and honorable. We demand It because it Is in the interest of all Americana and of the IntegVty of American citizenship, and we demand It in behalf of hat integrity. To that end we ask the co-operation of all our fellow-cltlzena In private life and In the public service, and we especially ask those who are empowered to frame and execute the laws of the United States to aid tn this Just cause." The pampnlet concludes with quotations of, the opinions of many Americans of note in this matter, all of whom agree that this condition was intolerable.
