South Chicago, June 1l-Speciai-
Since the scene OF action OF the
sporting fraternity in charge OF fha
city OF Traverse shifted from waters
of Illinois 10 the waters OF Indiana
the matter may be taken up by Govern
or Hanly Of the latter state and If the
! operations are found to be within the
Jurisdiction. the naval reserves viii
be brought into action. ana the matter
taken out of the hands Of the authors
ties of Lake county
The tip has been sent forth from
headquarters of the combine in charge
OF the poolroom enterprise that the
boat will surely sail again on next Nom
day. despite the results OF the court
cases now pending in the arrests made
at the last two excursions. To Offset
the dogged work of the police in chi
eago. the men in charge have a little
scheme which they are TO try when
the boat resmues operations next week.
The rumor has IL that the city OF Ira
verse viii pull out of Illinois waters
and anchor, and the Robert e Burke
as of yore will pull the patrons from
the Ninety-fourth street slip out to
the scene OF action.
Thus far the combination feel that
they are acting In such a manner that
they cannot be interfered with By tho
Chicago police and the past perform
ances bear them out. They have now
chartered three small tugs or naptha
launches along the Calumet river and
these boats win act with the Robert
f. Burke in the disposition OF passen-
gers after the days events are over
along the shores of Indiana. The
Burke Will carry q load to Indiana Har-
bor. one Of the smaller tugs will con-
vey another batch TO whiting. and the
other two will make trips to smaller
ports along the lake front in Indiana
In this way it is the belief Of the
combine that the Chicago police will
have no jurisdiction in the matter,
whatever. and the patrons viii be guar
anteed protection. 1t is here that the
expected action OF Governor Hanly will
come in. 1t is understood in Chicago
that Hanly has been tipped Off by the
police Of this city OF the expected ac-
tion and will show his hand Once
before the matter reached the governor
and he placed the matter in the hands
of Sheriff Carter to find out whether
the operations were carried on in IN
diana waters. with the result that tho
oilFiAiA - i6Pbittu dH SNItulHk Il mes
sage. that If rubber boots accompanied
the order he would wade out and ind
out. Now it is said that Governor
Hanly will have the matter transfer
red into the hands OF the state authorl-
ties and that II the City OF Traverse
attempts TO carry on the
Doolroom in the waters of Indiana. ac-
ton viii be taken II they attempt
to land the passengers in Indiana wa
-ers they will order out the reserves
IF the naval brigade and that all Will
be taken into the tolls 1t now re-
mains to be seen just where the City
# Traverse will be anchored while op-
sration are In play. The case against
Captain Jones Of the City of Traverse
zones Up in the South Chicago court
tomorrow. He is charged with main
aiming a gambling nuisance and the
outcome will be awaited with great
interest by all concerned
