Police Commissioner McAdoo dropped
into the Tenderoin yesterday afternoon
and his visit created panic among gamblers
and the police. With the opening Of the
local racing season at Aqueduct the lid
had been considerably Jared
Mr.. McAdoo dropped on Broadway car
at Twenty-third street, whore he met De-
tsctive Sergeant Joseph O'COnnor Of In
spector McIaughlins staff The latter had
Just superintended the raiding Of a pool
room in Fast Twenty. second street. The
Commissioner and O'Connor walked up
Broadway and turned west on Thirt ieth
street A few PAGES west Of Broadway
they entered Mrs. Rioe's saloon. After a
short stay there they proceeded to Sixth
avenue and turned north.
BY this time the Commissioner presence
in the district had become noised amCng
those likely to he most interested. Hand
book men, ordinarily at that hour busy
around saloons, didn't stop running until
they reached Eighth avenue, which ia be-
yond the limitations Of the Tenderloin.
The dean Of the Tenderloin reporters
was harmlessly engaged in purchasing
a newspaper az Thirteth street and Sixth
avenue when Mr. MoAdoo turned that cor
ner. The first he knew Of anything out Of
the ordinary was when a man who Is in
terested in several gambling enterprises
seized him and blurted:
did you see himl'
The reporter gasped.
'McAdool' Kissed the gambler, pointing
across the street to where the Commissioner
and the detective sergeant we're walking
calmly. The gambler was making north
ward where in a side street il located one Of
his interests. The reporter skipped abreast
" him.
Don't follow mel he whimpered.
There's Cottrell rubbering around the
corner!'
Sure enough there was the serious coun-
tenAnce Of the Tenderloin's captain peering
around a building at Thirtieth street.
From another corner jutted the long face
OF Detective William BRENNAN who is Capt.
Cottrell's man
Mr.. McAdoo continued 10 Thirty-nrst
street Every one had the tip that he was
in the precinct Cops at the Cross streets
steered folks and vehicles as they had never
done before; dingy and narrow Railways
poured forth men In crowds that 1t seemed
impossible for the buildings 70 have con-
tanned; the twenty some Tenderloin sIeuths
and stool pigeons hustled In all directions
70 look busy.
~ Thirty-first street Mr.. McAdoo and
O'Connor turned east and halted in front
Of the small entrance 10 Doyle Guiney's
rathskeller, formerly known as 'Tobey's.'
II was there that week ago one man was
stabbed 20 death and two others were
badly wounded during a fight at ESQ o'clock
in the morning. when the place, according
TO law, should have been closed. 0'Connor
went into the place while Mr.. McAdoo
stood on the sidewalk. Soon O'Connor
emerged, bringing with him William Quincy.
one Of the prOprietors. The other. Doyle,
is in the New York Hospital recovering
from a stab wound in the right lung.
Commissioner McAdoo said few things
~ Quincy, who appeared 10 stammer and
hesitate. What Mr.. McAdoo asked Quincy
or what the latter said could not be Asoer-
tanned, with the exception Of one thing.
The Commissioner questioned him as 70
what re ason he had 20 suppose that he
could keep open after hours and trahio in
liquor with nearly hundred disorderly
men and women In the place. What Mr..
McAdoo was especially anxious to know
was whether or not Quincy had any assur-
ance from the police that his place would
not DO disturbed. Quincy made an evssive
reply.
After talking TO Quincy the Commissioner
and O'Connor continued up Broadway. The
Commissioner didn't so near the station
house.
The opening OF racing AZ Aqueduot on
Saturday has wakened up the poolroom
keepers and handbook men in the Ten
derloin. About fifteen poolrooms are said
10 be doing business in the precinct, and II
is estimated that there are at least forty
handbook operators. Some OF the latter
cover as many as three saloons during an
afternoon.
Shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Detective Sergeants O'Connor and
Brown and Policeman Lyons Of Inspector
McLaughlins stan raided an alleged pool
room 10 a basement In Twenty-second
street just east Of Broadway. They had
to- chop down four doors before getting
into rear room where siIty-fve men
we're huddled. Two prisoners and tele-
phone were taken and the names and ad-
dresses Of the siIty-three others
About tho same time Capt, Cottrell
and Detectives Dockstsder, Ryan and
Morton smashed their way TO the fifth
floor Of the Manhattan Theatre building,
where they seized FIVE men and six tele-
phones. The raid was a treat for a few
hundred shoppers. Points Of vantage on
the elevated railway station at Thirty
third street were at a premium.
While this raid was In progress Detectives
GrihAth and Cody raided an alleged hand
book in 4 saloon at Broadway and Forty
frst street. This coup Melted two prisoner.
