WHAT BECAME OF 1T?
An Ordinance SURPRISING the
Topeka Policy Shops
PREPARED By THE CITY ATTORNEY.
But 1t Appears TO Have Been Lost
sight or Somewhere.

But 1t Appears 10 Have Been Lost
sight or. sOmewhere.
Il have been expecting the papers to
roast US because Of the existence Of these
policy shops" said Captain Gish of the
police force to a JOURNAL reporter. 81
am surprised that it has not been done,
but their existence Can not be blamed TO
Us because we Cant help it There is no
ordinance that reaches them and I have
repeatedly asked the city attorney to
draw up an ordinance through which we
can close up these places but he has not
yet done it,"
City Attorney Tillotson when asked
whether Captain Glsh had approached
him on the subject OF a policy shop Ordi-
nance, said that he had. II did draw up
an ordnance" he said, s'tO reach the
policy shops and it Is my recollection
that it was introduced at a meeting Of
the council and referred to some commit
tee, but which committee l do not re-
member"
CITY Clerk McFadden said he did not
remember of such ordinance ever
having been introduced aud there is no
record Of its ever being before The coun-
Gil.
Councilman Bradford said: "If there
is any way to reach these lotteries aud
policy shops ] am in favor of It. / IN
dersIand that there is u place in this city
where lottery tickets are sold as well as a
place where a policy game is played l
in favor Of taking some measure
which will effectually close all such
places. They are a bad thing because
they take money from the very people
who are least able to spare IT. 1 do not
think an ordinance was ever introduced,
but there was some talk about the policy
shops when the slot machine ordinance
adopted, but il is my recollection
that nothing was ever done"
There is policy shop East Fifth
street which does big business aud
where drawings take place every day at
noon. The winning numbers are placed
conspicuousIy on a black board, where
they can be seen from the street Its ex-
isience il no secret and it is patrOnized
by ali ciasses-
The business has reached a stage when
solicitors are sent out to secure business
aud many a business man on the avenue
has been importuned to try hand at the
we'll known game of policy. A Journal
reporter was in a leading drugstore a
short time ago when a policy agent came
in and approached the proprietor and
tried to induce him to try his luck ia the
drawings. He made no pretense Of keep
ing his business secret.
The city attorney says that if the Ordi-
nance drawn up has been lost another
will be submitted TO the council which
will put the police in a position where
they can clean out the policy shops if an
ordinance is all they need.

The ways and means committee of the
council have not yet had h meeting to
consider the question Of expending the
balance Of money in the coal hole fund.
There are some legal points involved
in the case which must be settled before

and Councilman Bradford are now max
ing an investigation as to whether the
council can expend the money to pros

Councilman Fellows, who is chairman
of the committee, said today: "If we
