AND TO TAM MANY HALL
The Crusade Now On Is For the pur-

Fellows And Enabling the Gam

The Banks, the Hall Of Fame
And Other Matters.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
NEW YORK, March I9.-Thirty
years ago the New York Times began
tbe crusade that ended 10 the destruc-
tion of the Tweed ring. Now the
Times has started movement against
protected vice in this city, and 1t has
already done more in three dsys to
stop police-protected gambling and
dive-keeping than has been done since
Roosevelt was police commissioner
And not only has the Times done this,
but it has gone to the root of the mat
ter by specifying how and by whom
vice Is protected in this city. The
immediate consequence of the Times'e
disclosures has been the closing of all
the gambli houses aud the worst of
the dives. the proprietors acting
promptly on police tips" that they
must close at least for q time.
According to the figures supplied by
the newspaper named, more than 49,
o95, 600 is paid by New York law-break-
ers every year for non-interfer-
ence by the police. Most Of this is
paid by gam bling house keepers. The
business is transacted by a "gam bling
commission" composed of one of the
heads of q city department.. two state

AFFAIRS IN YUCATAN.
Mr.. BloOdWorth May Return To
the Pass City To Live.

s. ]. Blood worth, weilknOwn in Ell
Psso, is again up from his home in
Yucatsn near the border of Central
America. Mr.. BloodwOrth is in
terested in q number of mines on the
Sierra Madre line and spent some
months here last fall and was for q
time engaged in newspaper work e.
He has resided for the past fifteen
years in Yucatan where he married
and his family now are.
They have extensive interests in
plantations of slsal {henequen) hemp
and cane. Although he has made
Yucatan his home for so many years,
Mr.. Bloodworth now finds the heat OF
the summer months in the tropics
uncomfortable and is therefore obliged
to come north in search of a more
congenial CLINE. Later he may move
his family. He expects to remain in
Ell Paso for sometime and is very
much pleased with the city's pros
poets.
business is very good in Yucatan
at present." said Mr.. B.O0dworth.
The hemp industry is one of the
chief interests there and since the
Spanish American war the demand for
this has increased tn ee fold. You
see 1t Is used for making rope and
many other articles that are essential
inthe equipment of a large army and
navy. With SO many armies in the
field the demand Is certain to be
great
The chief difficulty that is encoun-
tered in Yucstsn, Mr.. Bloodworth
says is found in the climate, which is
very hot and unheaIthful for foreigners.
This makes 1t extremely hard to
secure laborers at any price. Natives,
Europeans and Chinese have been tried
without much success. This COM
plant ia common in Mexico and almost
universal in the tropical regions where
many enterprises are being delayed by
1t.
A great many Americans and
Englishmen have located there with Il
little money and all speak we'll of the
prospects before them.
In making the journey from Ell Paso
to Yucatan and return Mr.. Blood
worth travelled through the entire
length of the Mexican republic and he
speaks very we'll of the condition
prevailing throughout the country.
He has made the trip many times be-
fore and noticed a number
of improvements in condition, along the
line.

has capital and chance to do q good
business, his petition is approved and
ne is told to go ahead and open up.
The system is rs orderly and business
like as that of licensing saloons.
Figures are presented showing that
300 pool rooms pay $500 a month; 500
crap games pay $3.50 month: 200
gambling houses pay $3.50 month;
policy pays S125, 900 q year; 80 envelope
games pay $50 month, and 20 large
gambling houses pay $1,000 q month.
All of the latter are well-known. One
of them, known as ''Csnfield's," ISIS locat-
ed in a brown stone house near Del-
monico's on And street. The appoint
ments of this house are magnificent:
rare eastern carpets cover the floors,
masterpieces of art are hung upon the
walls, and the furniture Is costly and in
good taste. Only the second floor is
given up to the gambling parapher-
MALTA. For the free entertainment of
patrons, there ia d buffet where the
choicest eatables and drinkables
are served. The play there
is,of course, very high; one well-known
broker is said to have lost S75, 900 in
one night at this house recently
The'pool rooms honeycomb the entire
city, and the syndicate that runs them
is said to be losing $4,000 day in rents,
wages, etc., while they are closed.
Yesterday, Sunday, well-dressed
young men and older men of
gentlemanly appearance, were
to be found in all the
Broadway hotels taking bets on to-
days races in small note books; there
were no odds offered and few bets
were placed apparently. This was
scheme of the pool room keepers to re-
duce their losses somewhat, but il
could not have been profitable,
The district attorney says that he
will at once begin the prosecution of
all gam bling house keepers against
whom evidence is supplied by citizens:
nothing is expected from the police.
Those who have seen upheavsls of this
kind before know that the outcome
will be the closing of the small places,
some for 8 few weeks, some permanent
ly; while the big houses will run as
usual after few days. The Times's
information was supplied by these
big gamblers expressly for the
purpose of driving the small fry out of
open dive that competition is
the business. The one or two
successful raids that have been made
by Parkhurst's society and by Anthony
Comstock have disclosed the fact that
the gam lers are not satisfied with the
ordinary profits of their business, but
that all of them conduct "brace games"
of faro and have fixed" roulette |
wheels. Thus far all the men connect
ed with the protection of crime have
been Tsmmany leaders and officehold- |
ers. The proceeds go for the most
part into the Tammany treasury; large |
sums, however, go directly into the |
pockets OF Mr.. Croker and his demo- |

There is much discussion here among

There is cousid e rs BILE difference OF

proved, but bankers disagree as TO the

Der of banks is certain. Alrea1y In
many parts of the country steps are
being taken for the organization of
banks with a small capital. The law
will permit OF banks with only $50, 600
capital. The new and liberal provi-
sions regarding circulation are go at
tractive that 1t is believed that many
state banks will reorganize under the
federal law. That there will be an in
crease in bank circulation Is also Ger
tain, as the law permits banks to issue
notes to the full value of the bonds
deposited to secure the circulation.
Every bank having notes out Is likely
to take advantage of this provision,
and this alone should increase the
amount of circulating notes 10 per
cent There has been much specula-
ton in United States bonds Of late, on
the belief that there would be big
demand for bonds to secure additional

Nearly everybody Is now preparing
lists of names for the Hall of Fame.
This threatens to become quite fad
for some time. Already the local
newspapers are printing many lists,
some satirical, but others quite serious.

thusiastic over the Hall of Fame pro-

would head the list of the fret fifty
