to Taft and Roosevelt.
Baltimore, Md. May 6.-The Mary
land primary election today will de-
termine whether President Taft or
Theodore Roosevelt will capture the
states sixteen votes at the republican
national convention, but owing to a
popularity OF the Mahlon law there is
a possibility that. the complexion OF
the delegation to the democratic. con-
yention will not be determined until
the state convention. ~
Under the new law the candidate who
wins the majority Of the 129 delegates
chosen for the state convention will get
all the national delegates also. Since
there are but two candidates for the
republican presidential preference the
division Of the state delegates must
result in a majority for one or the
other.
Democratic Vote Split.
Uncertainty may cloud the demo-
cratic situation because there are three
candidates in the field. Speaker Champ
Clark, Judson Harmon and Governor
Woodrow Wilson. If one of the three
democratic candidates receives a ma
jority Of the state delegates the con-
test for national delegates may be
fought out at the state convention. On
the first state convention ballot the
delegates instructed today for each Of
the three candidates will be bound to
give them their votes. but if this bal
lot fails to result in choice no one
ventures to say what will happen. The
belief is expressed that the candidates
with the smallest number of votes
will release their delegates, who thus
Will be free to vote for either OF the
candidates still in the race.

GAMBLING MADE POSSIBLE BY POLICE PROTECTION

They even erected lofty towers and

but the vigilance of the racetrack detsc-
tives was too much for. them and hun

This method prevailed UP 10 tho time
that racing in this State ended In 1910.
Then the poolrooms' worst enemy went
out Of business and the local betting
places began to open up all over town.
According to the gamblers. this sudden
turn of affairs created a feeling Of intense
satisfaction among certain members of
the Police Department and the old col
lect were resumed. The change
from organized and legalized betting
under proper control as provided for by
the Percy Gray law to Che present cond-
tons was the beginning Of the rise OF
the shoest ring gamblers.
The Fast Side crapshooters with whom
the high class gamblers and bookmakers
refused to associate first branched out
with klondike and other cheap forms of
gambling. Then they opened poolrooms

with little money and young men who
either earned small wages or refused TO
work at all. The gambling on the East
Side never exceeded the piker's limit.
The dollar bettors predominated. The
police and politicians preyed on the
hackers Of these games without mercy.

which had to be obeyed.
1t wasn't long before these cheap
gamblers found it impossible to meet
expenses. The payrolls and the graft

The records show that only few police
men have been in trouble for failure to
enforce the laws and for collecting bribes.
After the probe conducted by the Commit
tee Of Fifteen Wardman Edward Bissert
received five years sentence for accept
ing money from woman on the East Side
named Lena Schmidt. He served part OF
the sentence. when the verdict wss re-
versed. The Schmidt woman afterward
admitted Bissert's innocence.
Capt. Thomas Diamond also was con-
victed Of allowing dsorderly resorts to
do business in the Red Light district and
was fined $1,000. which he paid and was
promptly dismissed from the force by
Commissioner Murphy.
Inspector John ID. Herlihy was twice
tried in General Sessions for the alleged
failure TO suppress Iawbreakers in tho
Red Light district. but in each case the
jury disagreed. The indct ment was dis
missed and Herlhy was stripped of his
uniform and shield. But Commissioner
Greene reinstated him and in 1909 he raided
