PARAPHENALIA TAKEN

A sensational, raid in the Sout..
Third street gambling district was
made by the KeoKuk police last night.
The Joint pulled was that said to
be run by James Simons, and former
ly was known as Peg Wheatley,s
place. Only one arrest was made, al
though more than fifty persons were
caught in the drag net and informa-
tons ma. be FLED on Monday While
the police were endeavoring to ham
mer in the inner door of the main
room an effort was made to destroy
all evidence of gambling, but tefore
this could be done the door crashed
through and the plans were frustrated.
A wagon load of gambling paraphen-
ala was conflscated and many cases
OF beer. The raid was conducted by
Chief Henry Schevers with the fol-
lowing officers participating Deputy
Marshal John Pearson, Night Captain

twenty-five cases of beer and two of

Hundreds of people We're attracted
to the scene during the hour the police
were at the South Third street place.
The ramming of officers again the
door attracted much attention and
soon the news of the raid spread,
bringing large throng to the vicin-
ity
Chief Sehevers conducted the pull"
with the utmost secrecy. Even Com
missioner Thomas P. Gray, who was
at the station when the officers left
was unaware of what was to take
place. It is said that the officers re-
ported that gambling paraphenalia
had been taken TO the room Friday,
this leading to the investigation.
While no official statement had been
made the move is believed to be a
blow at after hours selling

Blow at After Hour Selling.

The blow was aimed not SO much
at gambling, but at selling after hours
which the police were aware was o.
ing on in the upstairs rooms. And it
certainly was quiet little tea
party" that was rudely broken p.
When the police arrived everything
was apparently quiet within, but Chief
Schevers was certain he could confirm
his benefs if an investigation was
made. The chief himself and Officer
Pearson went up the front stairs,
while the other bluecoats were sta
toned in the alley doorways. When
Chief Schevers knocked at the outer
door there was no response and it was
necessary for him TO spring the lock
to gain entrance into the hallway.
The early disturbance on the out
side gave the proprietor and his aides
warning of what was going on and a
painful silence swept over the room.
while noiselessly an effort was made
to get rid of the roulette table and
poker chips

While Governor Hanly was speaking, a
gang composed of some or the hoodlum
element invaded the park carrying a
vote es' banner and making the air
ring with shouts of vote yes' and IN
various other ways attempted to break
up the meeting.
In spite of this rowdyism and although
there were police officers In the gathef-
ing. the latter showed no activity in at
tempting TO suppress the disturbance and
did practically nothing until some of the
influential citizens went 10 an orhcef VINO
was standing in the audience ana de-
nanded that he arrest some of the gang
whereupon he took one young man INTO
custody and presumably placed him UNI
der arrest at the police station.
Governor Hanly said in reference to the
disturbance that he had never witnessed
such a dsgraceful scene in any state in
tho union where he had spoken, and con-
tinufne his address he used the incident
with telling effect against the Vote Yes
element. saying that such a crowd would
respect neither the laws of God Nor man
and would violate every restriction of
license law as they would the prohibito-
ry law.
These scenes were enacted practically
in the shadow of City hall, in which is
located police headquarters, in the Win
dows of which at the time sat officials
smoking and looking out upon the crowd.
