With the Haymarket, the Cairo, the
Bohemia and other Tenderloin resorts
closed yesterday either on account Of Good
Friday or Commissioner McAdoo's visit
10 the precinct the preceding evening,
the proprietor OF the Tuxedo, at 40 West
Twenty-ninth street, saw fine chance to
do business. He prohted by IL and played
10 standing room only up to 10 o'clock
Then Capt Cottrell made call with
ten sleuths. He found about sixty men
and women In the resort and announced
TO them that all could consider themselves
under arrest.
Three Of the men we're in evening clothes
and with them were three women, very
evidently not Tenderloin habitues, The
men pleaded earnestly with the captain.
They had been dining at the Waldorf, they
said, and thereafter somewhat against
their better judgment had consented 10
take the women on a Summing tour in an
automobile The captain believed their
story and let them 20,
The other men were also released with
the exception Of Marty Martin, held as the
proprietor Of the place, and William Clark,
as manager Thirty women were carted
to the Tenderloin station, the patrol wagon
making six trips. They furnished good
business for the professional bondsmen.
A little later Detectives brennan, Cody
and Griffith raided a saloon In the base
ment Of lO4 West Twenty-fouHh street and
arrested six women and fourteen men.
All were held, most Of the men being we'll
known characters In police annals.
An hour after Cottrell's men made the
raid in Twenty-fourth street, Detectives
McEntee and Milarky Of acting Captain
Eggerss stan appeared at the saloon with
a warrant for the arrest OF the proprietor,
The saloon was deserted except for few
men Patrick O'Neil, the proprietor. was
there and he was arrested. The warrant
charged him with keeping. a disorderly
house. He was taken to the Tenderloin
station and locked up.
Eggers's two men heard with good deal
Of surprise that they had been beaten out
by Cottrell's men. They seemed to think
that the fact that they had obtained war
rants had leaked somewhere.
The same two detectives arrested Michael
O'Brien, the keeper Of a saloon with rear
room for women at 223 Seventh avenue,
on a warrant charging him with running
a disorderly place. He was locked up in
the Tenderloin station.
Meantime, others Of Eggers's men we're
busy in the district Eggers himself raided
disorderly house near the lambs Club
and got several women prisoners,
Later In the night Milarky and McEntee
raided an alleged disorderly house In West
Fortieth street. Both houses were raided
on warrants. In the Fortieth street house
only the alleged propHetress was made a
prisoner.
The Tenderloin expected results from
the visit Of Commissioner McAdoo on the
day before and early last night II was
Tlmored that Acting Captain Eggers had OBJ
tanned many warrants during the day In
jefferson Market court. That rlmor was
strongest In the Tenderloin station, and il
soon spread throughout the district. All
the Tenderloin cops heard Of Il anc Capt.
Cottrell and his plain clothes men got very
Cottrell herded all his plain clothes men
early in the night and instructed them TO
get busy and TO get busy quickly. The
brought into the station In twos and threes
Six men we're arrested on the streets charged
with being Migrants. These men were
the consorts Of street walkers.
MADoo ON TENDERLoIN CODE.
Commissioner McAdoo, after bis tow
Of the Tenderloin on Thursday, issued the
following statement yesterday:
All the evidence In the matter OF the murder
in Tobey's place points TO the fact that IL
was committed by man named Regain
hGse STo's s1 P 40 thu i cos
cerned, no pains. cost or labor are spared
to get Regan.
This thing Of considering the Tenderloin
as a kind OF Norman ISLAND, where by
sort Of common consent. one man can kill
the other and the whole AFFAIR be considered
as somethi with which the public has moth
ing TO do, must be stopped. 1t seems TO
be a part Of the comm on law OF that region
that men and women who are present at
these murderous affairs are supposed TO
brazenly perjure themselves and profess
ignorance OF everyth ing that takes place,
This is an old and we'll honored custom in
the region. II is considered bad form 70
give any evidence which vi u help the pub
lie authorities TO find a murderer, and pToba-
bly, the region has penalties Of It's own for
all who infract the rule.
These murderous outbreaks OF so-cBlled
sports pimps and thugs Will never cease In
that region until the participants are brought
20 Justice and pursued with the same zeal
and energy as II the crime had been COM
mitted among more reputable people and
in more decent localities
These small joints like Guiney's are much
worse than the larger ones. They receive
the overflow after the larger places close.
and II not vlgilantly pollced keep open more
or less all night. | will use the powers OF
this ofice to prevent this, as ! believe these
ulcerous spots ought 90 be eXtirpated and
are not permissible even In the Bohemian
