The betting oa ui do at COOPER ASLEEP, SAYS LEADING DRUGGIST Woke "Up Recently After Finding That New York Was Not like Western Town. DEMAND NOW VERY IARGE Westerner Says He Does Not Recommend His Medicine for Country People, as They Don't Need It The sale of the much-discussed fViortpr m-pnarntions is no longer con fined to one store In Brooklyn.

While Cooper-Is still making his Brooklyn headquarters at the Kiker 456 Fulton street, the medicine is now on sale nt nil other Kiker stores and at druggists generally in Brooklyn. A lending druggist said recently: "The public seems to have lost its mind over this man Cooper. Personally, I don't know anything about his medicine. We had nothing to do with his coming to New iork, and he has until recently sold his preparation entirelv through one company. I suppose he thought New York was like one of his Western towns, and everybody could be supplied from a corner drug store.

lie woke up about a week aero and. uut it on sale everywhere. Since then we have been selling it. I don't know how long this demand will last, but I have never before seen anything like it." In an interview Monday afternoon Cooper said: "I am not making any wild claims for my medicine. All it floes Is to stimulate the gastric Juices and regulate the digestive organs, but people do not realize how splendid their health would he If only tlieir stomachs were not languid and enfeebled by years of abuse.

"Nine out of ten people who have called to-day have been sent here by others. Sooner or later every tired, half-sick man and woman in New York is going to try my medicine. They can't help it. I had a letter from a Chicago druggist Saturday In which be says that it is a mystery to him where- all the people come from who are buying m.v medicine from him. It has been over a year since I visited Chicago, find to-day more people are taking It there than ever before.

After I leave New York I shall take two months rest and then go to Loudon to introduce Cooper's New Discovery In England. "I don't recommend my medicine to country people. They don't need It. are living a healthy oue-of-door existence, and their digestions are, as a rule, in sound condition. It's the people who live lu the cities who need my medicine, as the life they lead has turned about half of them Into ill-nourished, nervous dyspeptics." Among New Yorkers who have recently become enthusiasts on the subject of Cooper's medicine is George J.

Scott, of No. 27-1 West Nineteenth street, Manhattan, who said recently "It is hard to realize that any medicine will do all that is claimed for it "I have taken all kinds of medicine for ten years, and this Is the first I have ever found that was worth two tests. I have Iiad rheumatism con stantly for ten years and have spent about a quarter of what I made for doctors and medicines. I might have taken so much rain water for all the good they did me. Before I had taken this Cooper's New Discovery a week I realized it was worth something.

I have taken it a month and I am as well as I ever was in my life. I have no rheumatism and eat like a horse. I feel like doing something now where a month ago I hated to walk a block. When I first bought It I thought it was another fake, but now I knev- better. All the other stuff I have taken was worth nothing; this is worth ten, yes, twenty times what they ask for it."

Tom Cornell's Arrest and What Came of It Magistrate's Ruling as to Evidence. The local head of the police force denies that there Is a sudden rush of hand book men and bookmakers to Brooklyn and says that there Is no evidence that Fulton street and the thoroughfares of Brooklyn are the resort of men who are making a living by taking bets on the races. Deputy Commissioner Baker re lies largely for his Information on Bor ough Inspector Flood, and Mr. Flood re lies on his Inspectors and his personal staff, of which Louis Schmid Is the chief. Surely, Schmid would know about tbe thing, for he is one of the persons who does not seem to sleep.

At all hours of the day and night this personal agent of the borough Inspector may be found. In and out, and round-about In the borough. And if Schmid knew that there was book-making going on, of course, he would tell Mr. Flood, and Mr. Flood would tell Mr.

Baker, and thers you are. But In spite of what the police officials say, there Is common rumor that anyone, almost, can lay a bet, anywhere, almost, In the borough. Mr. Flood la of the opinion that It lsiighty hard, nowadays, to do business in the bookmaktng line, because the odds are hard to find and bookmakers cannot do business without the market prices. In a talk he had with a reporter of the Eagle this morning, he Intimated that there was no sudden accession to the ranks of hand book men, and he also Intimated that It would be hard to get all the men who make books with their friends.

He was delighted, of course, with the arrest of the bookmaker who was caught at the navy yard gate the other day, and he referred to that case as one showing the activity of the police. He eaid, too that it was his purpose to look into this matter of bookmaking very sharply, and intimated that he would call his JnspeC' tors together, maybe on Saturday, to talk the situation over with them. For, he assured the reporter, he was determined to suppress gambling In Brooklyn, be cause gambling is Illegal and It Js the business of the polico to stop everything tnat is not Btrlctly in accordance with th law. Mr. Flood denied that there were what might be called poolrooms in Brook lyn; places where there is a blackboard with the odds, and names of horses and Jockeys and other data for dopers, but, as already intimated, he admitted that there might be, here and there, a man who did a little business with friends.

And they were hard to catch, and even when they were caught It was hard to get sufficient evidence to make the case go" in court, First Deputy Commissioner Baker was quite outspoken when a reporter called his attention this morning, to the gen eral rumor that there was much betting in Brooklyn, ana that almost anyone who had a desire to lay down money on the hazard of a trial of the speed of horses at the tracks, could have no difficulty in getting accommodated, "It is said that, all along Fulton street," the reporter proceeded. "One can iay a bet without the slightest "The people who say that lie," sad Mr. Baker, who is not in the habit of mincing things. "Of course there gamblylng, and everybody knows it, and ot course there are men who have friends from whom they take bets. But it is not common nor wide open, and I do not believe that since the stoppage of bet ting at the tracks this thing in the city has Increased.

Of course it is natural to suppose that there will be betting in town, and maybe more of it, but we aro doing our very best to crush it out." Detectives Carberry and Robertson picked up Thomas J. Cornell on Living ston street, near Bond, yesterday after noon. The man has been known for years as a person who took bets, yet he was never convicted, although he has been arrested over and over again. His father was a policeman and for that reason he is pretty well known to the members of the poltfe force. Cornell is well to do, owns some gilt edged real estate and Is said to be a most industrious person.

But he Is careful to a degree, it is claimed Carberry and Robertson "trailed" him yesterday and saw him enter more than one saloon on Fulton street and on Liv- ingtson street. The officers declare that they saw him stop and speak to men on the street and that he received from one of them at least a slip of paper. Then the detectivs stuck him up, as the po lice phrase goes that is, arrested him. They took him to the office of the ln spector and searched him, to find that he had fifteen slips ot paper in his pocket with names of horses running at the current races and the names of men and amounts of money risked. He was well equipped with cash, for three rolls of bills found In his pockets footed up $469.75.

The officers took the prisoner over to the Adams street court and wanted to make a complaint against the man. But Clerk Eilperln told them that they had no evidence on which to hold him, for the mere matter of having slips with names of horses and men and amounts of money written thereon, was not sufficient In the way of evidence to cause the court to hold the man for book making. So Into the court and Into the presence of Magistrate Dooley went the captured and the captors, and Clerk Eil perln, to explain, and Magistrate Dooley turned the man loose. He went back to headquarters and got his money and his slips, so that there was really no pro traded interference with his business. Inspector Holahan was angry because the man had slipped through the official fingers, and said as much, for he wanted him helf, and thought that It might have been possible to secure more evidence against him.

The prisoner is well known to Holahan, who bad him once himself but did not convict him. That was when Holahan was in the Classoa avenue dis trict. But Holahan gave the man a tongue lashing before he turned him loose. If is likely that the police will try to make betting more difficult in the town they declaro that it is difficult now when they can get their breath after the strenuous labors at the race trades.
