The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-11-16


The police OF the Chaffee street station
have for number of months been maxi
ing an effort to get hold OF a gang OF
youngsters, who appear 10 be carried
away with the game OF craps and TO what
extent they will go TO play the game was
illustrated on McDonough street, yester-
day afternoon, when five boys, the Oldest
not more than nine years old, were hud-
died In doorway, but the doorway was
not large enough for them all 10 get in
out OF the rain. so two OF them sat partly
under cover, but neither OF them appeared
TO know that IL was stormins. They play
ed for nearly one hour and would un-
doubtly have played until dark had not a
member OF the police force happened
along.
There are hundreds OF these little gam
blers about this section and where they
get the cash 10 play with Is something OF
mystery. The players know every po-
hceman in the district and when engaged
in the game have one or more OF their
company on watch, and any time n
strange man is seen coming toward them
they will dust.
Captain Marston has had men out in
plain clothes looking after them and in
less than five minutes after these men
get to work they are spotted by the
players and away they go TO some seclud-
ed spot and for this reason none OF them
can be arrested.
