GAMBLING IN BUCKET SHOPS.
hundred of Department Clerks
FIeeced During the Recent Panic.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The recent
panic in the New York Stock Exchange
caused heavy losses among hundreds of
men employed in the departments here.
There is probably no city of its size in the
country where the bucket-shop habit has
secured so firm a hold upon salaried men
as it has in Washington. The long-con-
tinued upward movement in values or al
legged values Of stocks added hundreds to
the clientele of the alleged bankers and
brokers' who line the streets in the vicin-
ity of the departments. Every time a clerk
invested SEQ in ten shares of Mop" or &C.
+. l." and made a profit OF $40. or $50. he
told his associates, and thus attracted 9TH
er flies to the spider web of the bucket shop.
There are a score or more of these Joints
within a few blocks of the Treasury De-
partment and each and every one of them
has been loaded with business curing the
past two or three months. The market re-
port has been the most attractive page in
the afternoon papers Tor a long time, and
whenever an excuse could be invented for a
brief absence from his desk the clerk with
the stock fever was certain to be found in
front of a blackboard. Nearly every one of
these lost heavily in the slump. Many of
them have been compelled to visit the 10
per-center in order to meet grocery and
meat bills, while the unmarried among them
will stand off" the landlady this month.
Since the police began to rigidly enforce
the anti-gambling laws there is not a single
faro layout here. PoKer games are raided
as soon as opened and it means sixty
days for the colored gentleman caught
shooting craps in a vacant lot. The bucket
shop is the last resort, now that the races
are over. and as the average American has
the gamester's blood in him, he must play
something. Lately the bucketer has made
a killing" Not a trade could stand the
steam. rs a consequence, business is simply
nil among the bucket shops to-day. but pay
day in the departments Will see the same
crowd around the blackboards again. and
