THE GAMBLERS UNDERWORLD.
The assassination of Herman Rosel

The assassination Of Herman Rosen
thai, a wealthy New York gambler,
evidently by sporting men or police
who wished to seal his mouth forever,
is a revelation of the evil forces
called into existence by the vice of
gambling. These forces are felt in
power in every large city in the land.
and have their grip ON every town
OF any size.
The Tremendous grip OF the gamb-
ling evil would surprise many eau.
tious and industrious citizens who
walk their ways daily through the
sober paths of business, with scarcely
thought of the underworld of un.
lawful gaming that lies underneath
modern society.
AS giving some idea of the forces
at work in one form of the vice alone,
that of race track gambling, JOSIAH
tlynt estimated a few years ago that
$110,00O,OOO annually is wagered on
races in the United States.
He estimated that out of this pot
of gold, the book makers operating
on the tracks clean up a profit an
nually OF $4,000, 600. while pool room
sharps get $20,00O,0O0 From this.
however, large sums have to be paiG
in tips to police and politician
With such stakes as these laid
down, passion is aroused 10 The point
where the murder OF a Rosenthal now

play in the game.

Tossing $500 bill on the green
cloth, or a note of any size great or
small, to be subject to the blind and
devastating laws of chance, and the
frauds of gamesters, is like taking
