Inspector John F. Dryer. in charge
Of tho city's principal gambling area.
north Of Forty-second street and west

this:
Policemen in citizens clothes sta
TONED in front Of each suspected

terinG. and later to follow them when
they como out to their homes. They
are to secure the correct names OF
these patrons.
Later these names and the houses

District-Attorney, with = request that
he proceed under the Bowling law and
summon the patrons before tho Grand

Of BRIDEGROOM CASH;
'H0LD-UP,' SAYS MAYOR
Gaynor's Afraid Other City
Fathers Would Have Done
Likewise.

kal Prodereen had only twenty DOL
lars yesterday when he was married
by an uptown Alderman at the lat
ter's residence. and he was much en-
Sarrassed In the presence OF his bride
and her friends when the official de-
inanded as his fee all the ready cash
that the Bridegroom possessed. Brod-
Green had planned a little wedding feast
for them all He was so chagrined that
he wrote to Mayor Gaynor. telling how
his wedding day had been spoiled"
The Mayor to-day sent the following
answer to the unhappy bridegroom:
! have received your letter Of
Nov. Is complaining that an AL
derman on marrying you the day
before at his house, demanded $40
OF YOU as his fec. and that you
paid him for the reason that 1t
would have mortified you too
much to make protest in the
presence OF your bride and other
ladies who were present
OF course, the Alderman COM
mitted a great outrage, and he no
doubt knew that you would pay
him sooner than dispute with him
openly. He had no right to charge
you anything. l receive many let
ters of a similar kind. My advice
to you all Is to so to clergymen
to be married. and then you Will
be treated properly. 1 do not. by
this. mean to say that all OF the
Aldermen would treat you as this
Aldermen did, but unfortunately
some OF them would.
You say 1t was all the money
you had with you. and that you
expected to use 1t for immediate
expenses with your bride. l GER
tainly sympathize with you. II
some one had held you up in the
street and taken 1t away from you
It would not have been worse. You
may sue the Alderman to get your
money back, but II you do he Will
no doubt say you made him
voluntary present of the $50. and.
