POLICE PROTECTION OF GAMBLING.
One OF the CHIEF evils with which the reorganized
department had 10 contend was the police pTotec-
ton Of gambling Under Tsmmany the gamohns
houses were controlled by the Frank Farrell gam
bling syndicate the head o. which was the cher
brother-in-lav. and which was so closely oohhec'eo
with the force that tips Of threatened raids were
sent 70 the resorts from Police Headquarters. When
Commissioner Greene found that Inspector Brooks
did not get evidence against gambling houses ne
brought in detectives from outside, secured evidence
himself and then dismissed the Inspector.
The Detective Bureau, put under new head
soon learned that it was expected to DO detective
work and the result has been that gambling houses
70 a large extent have been closed, and gambling
has been reduced to q mirinurn-probaby less than
a. any tine IN many years. In other. Work the
Detective Bureau has sho~n the eneet OF the new
system. The chapter adds:
out OF twelve cases Of homicide which have been
renorted during the present management OF the
Detective bureau. in eleven cases the man VINO CID
the deed has been appTeheuoed
