the service by which these betting
rooms were enabled to operate.
The result Of this notice was a Grip
ping of the system for some time, but
It gradually came back and was operated
by several different persons in a less
open manner.
More than a year ago the was a COM
bination OF the various interests in the
business and through the whole Of the
last campaign the race horse pools were
conducted by this syndicate, which ia
well represented in politics and has In
fuential friends in the administration
and outside Of it.
The question that is agitating the
gamblers now is whether these friends Of
the administration will have sufficient in
fiuence to counteract the very vigorous
protests against the privilege which has
been voiced recently by Indianapolis
citizens.

NOW GAMBLERS
WONDER WHERE
THEY ARE AT
Recent Raids on BuSh's and
Dan Smiths Places Set
EN- to Guessing.
STILL HAVE FRIENDS

The gambling fraternity OF Indianapo-
lis Is in a qusndary.
Both the suckers" and the gamesters
who have for several years been play
ing the races practically without moles-
tat:on on the part Of the police, are now
trying to dope out'' whether the two
recent police raids Of betting pool rooms
mean that the administration is not in
tending to permit further operations OF
whether the raids were merely designed
to make a showing Of activity on the
part Of the police.
When Sergeant Wink1er and his squad
arrested Dennis Bush, alias ]. ]. Casey
and the bookmaker pleaded guilty in
police court It was generally understood
that the affair was intended to protect
the department against the criticism OF
dozens Of citizens who were complain
ing Of the wide open gambling.
When Sergeant Russell interfered with
the race pool selling of Dan Smith, for
mer saloon keeper and prize fight pro-
moter, the fraternity became exceedingly
uneasy. There were indications that the
police meant business.
PROVED DEPARTMENT
STILL ABLE TIC ACT.
These two raids established what the
fishing. They showed that when 1t was
necessary the department could success
fully raid the racehorse pools even though
they be conducted by telephone from the
offices Of men who have heretofore been
regarded as Immune" from police inter
ference
Shortly after these raids q rumor was
in circulation TO the effect that a WELL
known sporting man Of the city who has
been regarded as backing these pools,
had withdrawn his support, and theirs
was a noticeable falling OF OF business
on the race books.
Now, however, the word Is being cir
cu1ated that business is as usual in at
least three places said TO be maintained
by the syndicate which was formed some
time ago and which has had smooth sail
ing throughout the last year.
The two raids recently conducted by
the morals squad are the first police in
reference with the racing pools IN In
dianapolis since Thomas W. Marshall was
Governor OF Indiana.
In the Marshall administration the
problem OF coping with this gambling
syndicate became so great that the Gov
ernor was asked 10 interfere, and he
caused an investigation to be made OF
the leased wire service over which the
syndicate got its race results.
