Were Detailed to Board Corwin
II. Spencer and Investigate
Gambling.
PUT OFF AT VENICE, Ill.
Captain Brolaski Said That if st.
Louis Officers Continue to
Interfere He Will Treat
Them as Mutinecrs.

Thomas +. Bolger. Charles L. MalSen
and Patrick j. Feeney, special detectives,
who were Yesterday ordered by Chief of
Police Kiely TO take passage on the cX-
cursion steamer CorWin II. Spencer to The
mouth of the Missouri River for the pur-
pose of learning whether any gambling
was permitted on the boat within the city
limits. were landed and forcibly elected by
the steamers officers at Venice. ILL.,
The detectives at once sought the near
est telephone station, and Bolser notified
Chief kielv of the result of their adj
venture. Chief Kiely told them to get TO
st. Louis the best way possible and make
complete report of the affair.
Captain Brolaski of the Corwin II. Spen-
Ger said last night that the men We're or
dered not to beard the boat: that they did
so contrary to his own commands and
that they wore put off by his orders. He
said, further. that he acted fully within
his authority as commander of the steam
er in putting them off. even though they
We're city officers.
I'VE are under Federal law when our
boat casts her anchor he said. and no
officer of the city of st. Louis has any
right to interfere with our business. II
these men persist in acting contrary to
my commands while on my boat. | shall
consider them as mutineers and shall
deem myself al liberty to put them in
irons"
FIRST OF TROUBLE.
The first note of trouble between the
detectives and Captain Brolaski was heard
Monday. when Brolaski asserts that five
men in his employ were arrested on the
wharf and taken to the Four Courts on a
charge of lettering.
They We're released yesterday he says.
and were allowed to return TO the boat
There is no record at the Four Courts
charge there last night said they might
have been brought in and released with
out the charge against them being ell
tered on the books.
Following this alleged arrest of his men
Captain Brolaski says further indgnity
was heaped upon him by the Chief of Po-
lice in ordering detectives on his boat.
He declares that no place of i'll repute is
kept on the boat and that no skin
games" are practiced on the passengers.
The investigation ordered by Chief kiciy
was the result of the many complaints
that have recently been received at the
Four Courts by eXcursionists. who claim
they have been feeced out of large sums
by the gambling games that are operated
on the boat. Some of these cases have
come TO trial and have been dismissed on
the ground that the gambling took place
outside of the city limits.
Regarding these cases Captain Brolaski
did not deny that gambling games We're
operated openly on the boats. He said
however. that the operators were careful
not to begin their games until the boat
was well out of the city limits and to stow
them away before the line was reached on
the return.
