Members OF the police force who are

1t is believed that some of the hand
book men did not quit business be-
cause of the raid. however, although
they did exercise more care in the mat
ter of knowing their patrons. Agents
OF the Department of Justice and the
Iplice have not abandoned their cru
sade against those who accept bets, and
