HUNDREDS OF WOMEN FIRE
OUENT PLACE AND THOUS-
ANDS OF DOLLARS LOST.
MANY ARE LURED TO RUIN

Alleged Boarding Houses" Cloak
300 Gaming Hells, Run by Women
for Games "Among Friends" and
Defy Police Interference.
There are 800 gambling houses in
New York city being run by women
and the police are powerless to inter
fere. The women gamblers operate
their dens under the guise of board
ing houses. They actually take two
or three boarders, who, of course, are
confederates, and thus being able to
prove that they are bona fide lodging
houses they throw the first difficulty
in the way of the police.
The fact that a kitty, or raKe-off,
is taken in a poker game by the house
is generally sufficient to bring about
raid by the police, but the women who
are now operating in New YORK,
while taking a liberal kitty" main
tain that it is used by common con-
sent in purchasing refreshments tor
the party. These facts, coupled with
the difficulty of breaking into the prl-
vate apartment homes, have handl-
capped action against the gamblers.
Meanwhile this new type of gam
bling joint daily is turning hundreds
OF respectable young women into IN
Yeterate gambling fiends and worse.
Many of the women poker sharps
are crooked. Thousands of dollars
are said to have been lost at single
sittings in some of these boarding
houses" Men and women sit up all
night playing for higher stakes than
the average of the old-time houses
run by men.
When District Attorney Whitman
Jerked the lid off police graft last
summer and the gambling houses for
men, which then infested the city,
had to close the sporting blood OF the
city had to find a new outlet. 1t
would have been a joke for man

the anti-gambling forces in the city

dresses who ran them.
Lured from Husband and Children.
The moral effect of these games
was far worse, according to repre-
sentatives of the district attorneys
office. than that of the old-fashioned
pool room and gambling houses for
men; for institutions of the latter
quality we're patronized only by men
who were accustomed to gamble,
while one of the most striking feat
ures of the boarding house poker
game" is that young women, many
of whom are innocent of such prac-
tees. are induced to gamble, fall vic
tins to the fever and become inyeter-
ate fiends. squandering their money
and even going to dishonest measures
to obtain more when they have lost
what is their own.
Women with families, once caught
in the lure, leave their husbands and
children to look out for themselves at
home. and night after night bend
breathlessly over the, card tables, toy
ing with the fckleness of fortune that
alternately smiles upon and smites
them.
The System of Operation.
This system is operated in the fol-
lowing manner: A house or apart
ment is leased, the negotiations be-
ing conducted by a woman who rep
resents herself as a widow who, left
without resources, is about to open
a boarding house. She then accepts
three or four tenants, who are in
reality her partners in the gambling
business. Once all is in readiness
private poker parties are given ana
anv attempt TO show that gambling
establishment is being conducted is
thwarted by the landlady offering
proof that she is merely the proprie-
tress of a boarding house, and that
she cannot control the number Of
night callers her guests choose to
entertain. Powerful syndicates, made
up of the women and men gamblers
whose business has been closed down,
have been organized to control this
boarding house gambling system"
An investigator who succeeded in
entering one of these private gam
bling dens found magnifcently fur
nished eight-room apartment. A liv-
cried negro waited on the door. There
was a chef to prepare for those who
desired it. The floors were carpeted
with oriental rugs. Costly dark dra-

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary
of State Bryan's repeated absences
from his post at Washington are
drawing much criticism even from
the democrats in the national CAPT
tai
Senators who have been anxious to
see the secretary of state personally
in regard to patronage and other
matters are beginning to grumble.
Representative of foreign govern
ments and others having business
with the department have long since
learned from experience the incon-
veniences of attempting to deal with
a secretary of state who has the trav-
cling habit so firmly fixed upon him
as has Mr.. Bryan.
The secretary of state has been
absent from Washington more than
half of the time since he assumed the
duties To be exact, he has been
away from the state department
thirty-seven out of the sixty-three
working days. OF these thirty-seyen
fourteen were spent in California,
where Mr.. Bryan was sent by Presi-
dent Wilson on account of the Jap

1t is estimated that, all told, Mr..
Bryan has Travelled about 10000

are in the employ of these gamblers.
It is their business to drum up
players. They do it adroitly. A sug-
gestion to a customer as to where

orally is sufficient, if the victim has
a love for cards, to insure her pres

moral standard is lowered.
Destroying Home Life.
Many young girls have been ruined
utterly by frequenting these gam
bling houses. One woman frequenter
of certain house was found to be a
Sunday school teacher in one of the
city's big churches and two others,
it was revealed, had deserted their
children and husbands to have more
time to devote to the poker habit.
This gambling, in many instances,
has parted husband and wife The
woman with mania for wagering at
cards will pawn her jewels, borrow
from the butcher and the grocer and
impoverish her husband before she
gets rid of the mania for those pri-
