One would suppose in the face of
such a report from the Grand Jury OF
the county that gambling would cease.
But it has not ceased. On the con
trary, the dens are running as wide
open as ever This was why Alderman
Pond, that indomitable city father who
has had the nerve to tackle this ques-
tion boldly, introduced the following
resolutions into the City Council last
Monday night:
WHEREAS. An order passed this Council
Dec. 30, 1889, ordering the General Superin-
tendent OF Police to enforce the ordinances
against public gambling in the city Of
Chicago;
WHEREAS, Said order has been utterly
disregarded and public gambling is being
carried on. as in the past, without Official
interruption; now, therefore. be it
Resoloed, That the Mayor and General
superintendent of Police be and they are
hereby ordered to report to this Council al

dinances against public gambling enforced

deavoring to connect persons with the
criminal responsibility. Buildings may
not be indicted, but keepers can
be. This oftense must be proven as
any other, and in the nature Of
things a Grand Jury cannot resolve itself
into body of detectives and itself provide
for evidence. 1t must depend on outside
assistance for that. The Mayor of Chicago
and Chief Of Police both readily agreed to
give help, butt was forthcoming. Their
good promises amounted to nothing. The
work OF the Grand Jury in indieting the
gamblers was done independently of the
city administration. 1t is to be hoped that
ii will lend a more hearty assistance when
the cases come up for trial. The volume of
evidence promised and partly supplied by
an independent organization was weak and
ineffective. Some young bows testified to
what the Grand Jury already knew of the
location of gambling houses. but nothing
as to the keepers. The Grand Jury con-
cludes that in its opinion gambling would
instantly and entirely stop in Chicago if
the city administration so desired it, and
that the best efforts of a Grand Jury in
this direction can only be partial and in
complete. Respectfully,
JAMES d. TYLER,
Foreman OF the Grand Jury.
Besides the men against whom indict-
ments were found the grand jury heard
charges against the following, but
deemed the evidence insufficient to
warrant conviction and therefore
returned "No bill: Thomas Hynes,
Melvin Fitch, Thomas Brewer,
Johnson, William Wagnan, Wesley
schimmel, Patrick King, and Cy
Jaynes.
Mayor Cregier was asked what he
had to say about the report Of the
grand jury. Il have no comment to
make, he replied quietly. i was be-
fore them and gave all the information
| had and told them that whatever
they wanted from the administration
would be furnished. | heard nothing
further from them"
When the Grand Jury assembled for
its final session Saturday morning it
was found that the only absentees were
Messrs. McNichols, Coombs, and Gal
lagher. There was, however, nothing
more to do utwait until the Assistant
States Attorney could complete the
yoluminous indictments which he had
been instructed to draw up on Friday.
An adjournment was taken till noon,
and Judge Waterman was informed
that at that hour the Grand Jury would
be ready with its report.
