HEART OF THE CITY
Encouraged by the District Attorneys
Good Offices the Gamblers Revive

The seductive but delusive wheel or
fortune was brought in last night from
the race track to Fitzgerald's pool room,
on Spring street, where a palpitating
crowd of suckers succumbed to its en-
snaring influences until a late hour.
preacher" Frank Burch, Of tape game
notoriety, stood at the wheel and safely
piloted the game through the channel
OF chance, always-to land securely on
the best side Of fortune. Burch is
skillful gambler.
There was a good deal Of suppressed
excitement in police circles last night as
soon as it was learned that the proprie-
tors Of the wheel had thrown down the
gauntlet and moved right into the heart
Of the city. Speculation was rife as to
what action Chief Glass who has hith-
erx been active in suppressing gam
bling, would take when he learned that
a wheel of fortune was operating or
one Of the principal streets A couple
Of hours passed and nothing had been
DONE The crowd which had been no.
ticed in Fitzgerald's place had grown
immensely, and the gambling was rapid.
People had bucked' the wheel until their
money was gone, and others had taken
their places Several policemen had
dropped in to watch the game, and then
gone out without a word. Even Sheriff
Burr himself casually dropped around
to see how his friends were getting on,
although it is not known that he risked
any money on the game.
Finally people began to wonder how ii
was that the wheel had not been sup
pressed, and why it was allowed to run
openly in a city which boasts that it is
able to close all percentage games. No
one attempted to argue that it is not
a percentage game, no one seeming to
have much respect for the district at
torney's opinion; and if such, why was
it not illegal on this particular night.
They went further, and asked the ques-
ton, IF the game is not illegal tonight,
why is it ever illegal?"
When the excitement was at its height
Chief Of Police Glass was called UP at
his house by telephone,

was asked.
mo, I guess not" the chief replied
IT don't see what can be done in the face
Of the opinion which has been given by

That settled it. Policemen continued
to drop In and watch the game; deputy
sheriffs came and went, and suckers still
lost their money
