JUDGE AND POLICE AT WAR Thrauth Fettj Quarrsl Administration of Justice is in Deplorable Stat. TROUBLE OVER THE GAMBLING HOUSES Coart Saya the Officers Refoae to Give Evidence and Latter Assert Coort Doea Not Desire the Testimony. 1 1 . - (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 6. (Special.) The administration of Justice In city affairs in Des Moines has come to a deplorable state within the last few months by rea son of a petty quarrel between the police Judge and the heads of the police de partment. The trouble bas arisen largely over the gamblers. There has been dis agreement as to the policy to be pursued In suppressing or scattering the gambling evil, and while aome arrests have been made, thus far but little has been done to punish the gamblers. The police Judge accuses the police of being Indifferent to the evils In the city and the chief of po lice says the Judge does not want to In flict punishment. A number of persons were brought before Police Judge Silvara last week, accused of being found In a gambling bouse, and they were discharged by the court. The Judge declared that the policemen did not appear to give evidence In the case, and Chief of Police Brackett says that the policemen were ready to testify, but the court would not let them. The result was that both the court and the police have been making personal threats against each other and tbe police declare they may take all their business into the Justice courts. In the meantime six well-known gambling houses are open every night and the gamblers are not mo lested.

Tha, park commle sloners have refused to grant. tha company a right-of-way through the park, insisting that this should not be done until there is some definite knowledge of what is planned by the company.
