Service After League Is Re-
buffed by the Proper
Authorities.
GAMBLERS HOLDING FORT
Lawless Element, by Beating Inves-
tigators, Seeks to Intimidate Citi.
zenship-May Yet Be Necessary
to Cali Upon the Governor.

Some inquiry has been made as
cured the services of an outside con-
stable to make the raids. From Of
dcers Of the league it is learned that
on the basis Of the information Sc
cured from the sleuths from Chicago,
the league was convinced that to en-
trust the service warrants to local
authorities would result In forestall-
Ing the plans and making a farce
Of the entire proceedings. The in
vestigators found out exactly, the
league officers claim. the relations
between the local authorities and the
gambling fraternity. Thesleuths were in
close touch for weeks with the en-
tire situation, played poker all one
night in a gambling resort with a
deputy sheriff and by this and other
means linked up the chain of connec-
ton between the gamblers and the
authorities by means of go-be-
tween. Under these circumstances,
taken with the evils OF the justice
shop system as a whole in Rock Is
land, the officers of the league real
feed that to inform the local author
tiles would amount to putting the
gamblers on as to what was planned.
Added to this was the experience Of
last spring when Constable Goldburg
with warrant issued in Justice
Wells court against the Billburg
gambling resort went to the sheriff's
office for assistance only to be fat
ly refused.
There is no doubt that Constable
