Detective Michael Kelly Of Ch,,f
Inspector Days office and Detec-
tives Harry Sanger and Frank
wheelNright Of Inspector McDon-
AIDS stan were in charge OF the pro-
ceedings. which began several days
ago in the White Light district. The
trio yawned In the Hobbies OF several
Of the best hotels. regretting 1pdibly
that New York was a dead town ard
that q gentleman could not get a run
for his money. They showed plenty
Of money. And in a fashionable hp-
tel they we're approached by a man
who knew a place"
At 7.i5 o'clock last night the three
presented themselves at the door OF
No. l?7 and rang the bell. The door
opened few inches, then stopped
with a clarg ot chains. In the mar
TOW opening the face OF Fisher APP
peared, 1t Is said. Detective Kelly
opened his overcoat, displayed a spot
less thllN lANlAAf tAN NfNhN NhN aNt
which was: Jack"
II was the pass word all right, but
Fisher suspected something. He
called Jones. Jones regretted that
Jack was not in. but the foot of De-
tective Sanger. encased in a pres
sure e-reslsting shoe. prevented the
closing OF the door.
Instantly Jones took a whistle from
his pocket and blew 1t. In another
instant the detective saw the flying
coat tails OF the gentleman who had
been disturbed. Quick work was
made Of the door chain. but not qulcA
enough to prevent the escape OF
Jones's guests. Jones himself and
Fisher. who had few little things to
DO before leaving. were captured be-
cause OF this necessary delay.
Jones did not want to go 10 any
body's Jail in evening clothes. So nc
was permitted to change. While he
did the detectives looked around.
In one room they found roulette
wheel set for five players. Upstairs
there were sleeping rooms, hand
somely fitted.
But the most interesting spot in the
house was Jones's room. An account
book was found there. neatly kept.
with dates ar | profit and loss ar
ranged on parallel pages. 1t went
back to last June-whioh indicates
that Inspector Henry has been de-
ceived about the place for some time
In the rroflt column the largest
figure for a single evening was $4,000
other evenings showed profits OF
s., 900, 81 500. $1,000. and even as little
as $500. The largest figure in the loss
column was $3.50. The gross profit ha:
not yet been figui cd. but 1t was OBJ
viously a handsome one.
The discrepancy between profit and
loss-all in favor OF proht-led the de-
tectives to look further. They say
they found several hundred pairs oi
dice, some OF them curiously made
One cube, for instance, although II
had six faces, had nothing but "twos'
and "threes" on these faces. Another
perhaps the complement, had nothing
! but "hves" and 'fours."
/ But perhaps the most interesting
thing OF all was a book containing th'
, names and addl esses, together with
financial estimates, OF many promi
nent men and a few women who live
in various parts OF the country anC
sometimes come TO New York on busl
ness. There were doctors, judges
lawyers, manufacturers and man!
kinds OF business men.
Perhaps more Will be heard OF som
OF these people at the hearing, whicl
Is set for Friday.
Magistrate Corrigan rolled som
Of the dice on his desk, cNamiu"
them, and then said: why, tn
is a real gambling raid. \ cate
like TINS is credit 10 the pole,
