He and His Chief of Detectives
Appear Unusually I'm
sEs Sophisticated.
NEITHER KNOWS OF GAMES.
A Few Moro Addresses and Names of
THOSE WHO Might Give More
Facts TO tic Police.

Captain of Detectives Riley NJ. Beck
stead echoes the utterances of Chief
of Police Barlow made yesterday.
There isn't a single game of chance
running in Salt Lake City. not a one
lie says.
After The News printed q list yes
teriay Of places where old Dame For
tune was holding forth each night,
there was Il sort Of soft pedal on in,
the early hours of last evening, burt
later they went ahead and as result
everything for them was as merry as a
marriage bell.
Is Chief of Police Barlow made no at
tempt to stop any of the places men-
toned by The News yesterday from
force the law at any future time, and
live up to his oath of Office as police
officer. another list, omitted yesterday,
is herewith given for the benefit of
both Chief of Police Barlow and Cap
tain Beckstead. SIS
Over YOung's cafe on Main street
between First and Second South Is q
game run by one Jess Owens from Os-
den. This game has been in bloom for
some time. Poker to any limit is here
.indulged in.
On First South, near Main is a game
in a cigar store. 1t seems to be we'll
patronized and getting along nicely
under some sort of protection.
At the Van Noy apartments at 263
south Main street is a game conducted
by George G. ray we'll known as a sing
err and entertainer.
At the Blue Point cigar store on west
Second South street Is another.
At cigar store on south state
street between Second and Third South
next door to Bernsteins saloon is
another.
In the rear of the Northern saloon at
216 south State street conducted by
George Bassett. is a quiet little game
run wide open. No one seems to care
there who knows 1t.
Back of tho billiard room in the Ken
yon hotelis n game that gets almost
rs good play as the one in the base
ment of the Wilson.
In the Combination saloon next to
the Wilson hotel is another game that
has boosters galore, and many run
ners. Harry Humphreys, Jack FL
lott, and collie the Swede' are the
men who are said to be interested
In 1t.
At the Walnut on Second South
street is a game run at odd moments
by shifty gentleman who bears the
sobriquet of the "Whoop-em-up Kid"
He is said to hail from Idaho.
KNOWN TO BE RUNNING.
The fact that the games arc run
ming is a matter of common knowl-
edge. Not a man who Is In any way
connected With the tables Will deny
-theyHare playing the Ylimit. Again. 1t Is
a well known fact that no member of
the gang" may run until first he soes
a tall man who will outline the situa-
ton and depart north from the Sec
ond South district with the usual $50.
This tall man doesn't get his pay
from out OF this little fund. but he has
a regular Job and knows that ne VIII
be protected In his collecting.
In case the chief of police still
\ doubts the existence of the games and
the fact that a collection Is made that
goes somewhere. the following names
OF some well known gentlemen are
printed that In case they were inter-
viewed by the chief and captain of
detectives might give them some In
formation:
Kid Boggs is around the Wilson hotel
each day. He knows lots OF things. He
might be found with California
Smithy,"s man who Is In on every
thing that might make dollar into
two, or three, or -FOUR.
"Chick,' n swell dressed young man
who is seen around the Wilson bar and
lobby. fIe is also seen much at the
dances In town where young people
congregate. ss
Butch" Snider is another gentleman
who might be able to take the CHIEF
around and show him n few things.
providing, OF course, Mr.. Barlow would
care to 70 with Mr.. Snider
Then there Is ..kicking Bill" Man
ming from Frisco.
There is kid" Houston from Wyo-
* Another is JOG Pulllam, who halls
from Nevada somewhere.
h There is George Grey. n Chicago con-
cert hall singer and "entertainer.
n There is Earl Williams. from Den
yer. who Is we'll known In various cities
OF the country.
There are many others who might
be mentioned and they can all take
cant. Beckstead or Mr. Barlow on n
to,ir. that will open their eyes. For. as
hoth have stated emphatically. there Is
no gambling going on in the city.
The receipts from tho police court
lasf month we're IN the neghborhood or
se00 This Is a very small amount for
n citv a q large as Salt Lake. 1t is q small
nn,o,,nt in proportion to the number OF
arrests. In the old days. under other
chiefs. the revenue accruing to the city
through fines paid by gamblers was
large sum. 1t Is not SO now. +, $
All nre asking, Where does the
money go now?'
