HEAD OFF GAMBLE Frs
Won't Be Allowed to Reopen
i'm Nearby Counties

NEW YORK, Jan. 49, - The move
against gambling places begun by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome assumed a new
phase today, when more than a score
of men who are believed to have placed
bets in pool rooms, together with the
owners of several warehouses located
near the section where gambling
houses have thrived, called at District
Attorney Jerome's office. These calls
were brought about by 100 subpoenas
AS result of the examination of the
Warehousemen, Mr.. Jerome's deputies
seized a considerable quantity of para
phernalia, which had been stored by
keepers of gambling houses. In one of
the warehouses searched today the
deputies found gambling implements
stored in the name of Charles A. Grote.
a manufacturer of billiard tables. Grote
appeared before the district attorney,
however, and declared that the arti-
cles were owned by the Hyperion club,
and. that his name had been used at
the warehouse without authorization.
Mr.. Jerome said this afternoon that he
had secured much valuable informa-
ton from the pool room patrons today
Many pool room patrons also re-
sponded today to subpoenas issued by
Police Commissioner McAdeo. Mr..
McAdoo said he had informed the dis
trict attorneys of Kings and Queens
counties that under the Bowling bill
they would be authorized to call all
suspected gamblers and question them.
He also notified all police captains in
those counties that gamblers driven
from New York may make an effort
to open houses in the nearby coun-
ties. The captains were ordered TO
maintain the closest watch.
