In terms ringing with indignation,
denunciation and contempt, Ak-Sar-
Ben governors with one acclaim
yesterday gave vent to unqualified
sentiment following Police Commits
sioner Dean Ringers action in al
lowing the Patterson shows to con-
duct gambling games at Twenty
first and Paul streets, when last
year a committee representing the
very best citizens of Omaha were
condemned as mo better than the
gamblers of the Third ward" by city
authorities when application was
made for permission to run the
same character of games in connec-
ton with the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival.
The question is being asked on
every hand who arranged for police
protection for these fy-by-night
shows when last year Mayor Smith
and Commissioner Ringer took an
emphatic stand against the Ak-Sar-
Ben conducting identical games.
Same Officials.
Men prominent in business cir
cles, leaders of enterprise in the
community, are at loss to under
stand why a foreign string of
shows should be allowed to set up
their gambling devices in Omaha,
unquestioned by Mayor Smith and
commissioner Ringer, when only a
few months ago a committee headed
by George Brandeis, Randall K.
Brown and c. f. Black were told
no game of chance would be per-
lnitted on the Ak-Sar-Ben grounds,
how innocent and harmless it might
be.
The Patterson shows obtained
their permit to run their gambling
games from the same officials at
the city hall who denounced the To-
cal organiza ton as Third ward
gamblers" when they asked the
same permission.
From 20 to Is of these chance
games were allowed to go full blast
