While New-York seeks TO keep her own capital
and attract other capital. she only seeks capt

Incorporated wind; on the contrary. by the Slater
bill to which / have referred she forbds it TO
come within her borders
While capital Is invited, but only capital of in

this, only is capital invited to come from Mas

all the States that capital of integrity is welcome

So long as these fees forthcoming regu-

the gamblers a great improvement on the old

There are strong indications that the men
who run poolrooms crap games policy shops
and gambling houses Of all kinds in this city
under the protection of the police are in a suriy
and dangerous mood just now, because the irrl-

they whose pride and boast it is that they
grow rich by fleeing the sucker, are them-
selves being fieeced and played for suckers by
the leaders Of Tammany Hall through the
agency of a Board which does not appear In the
City Record but is much more active and
powerful than some which do. This board
draws no pay from the municipality, issues no
reports holds no open sessions, but gets through

deal Of revenue. II is known in all the dark
-Llners Of the city as the Gambling Commis-

badge of membership court undue notoriety
because of their connection with it; in fact
they might any one for libel who puohsheo
their names as Gambling Commissioners
But the gambling house keepers know, 1t Is
said that this Board consists of at least one,
and some say two State Senators, the Com
missioner of a big city department ard the
king pin Of the poolroom gamblers. Now II
curiosity should prompt any reader of this ar

his monthly dues and his reputation as

notice and keep a close month, etc Ii the cap

character of the applicant to the Gambling
Commission the application is forwarded 70
that Board. If the Board rejects the appllcanoh
the $500 is returned to the disappointed appli-
