POLICE BLOCK BET
AGAINST FOUR ACES
Raid Alleged Poker Party in
Columbus Circle Hotel
Room.

Detectives Tighe. Reynolds and Jack
son of the Chief Inspectors staff went
to the Circle Hotel at Fifty-eighth street
and Eighth avenue last night TO see how
much truth there was in rumor that
men and women were playing cards for
money in a suite on the fourth floor.
They reported there was quite a bit OF
truth in 1t. and that looking through
the keyhole they discovered thirty men
and women, about evenly divided. play
ing IS limit poker around two big ta-
bles, and they saw one man With four
aces calmly inviting another man to bet
right into him.
The other man was about to do it, but
It was more than the detectives could
stand. They opened the door and told
the thirty, all of them well dressed and
many wearing diamonds. that they were
und er arrest. All seemed much cha
grined except the man who was about
to bet against four aces. He grtnned.
The detectives phoned for the patrol
wagon, and while waiting for II one OF
the women asked If she might go into
the coat room and get her coat. The
detectives very kindly said yes, and in
she went Pretty soon another woman
to get his hat, and the detectives very
graciously permitted all Of them to go
into the rooms
That kept up until twenty-three of the
poker players had gone into the room.
Presently the patrol wagon driver began
changing his gong as q signal that all
was ready FOR the detectives guests. and
the detectives yelled for the twenty
three In the court room to come out and
go to jail. But. alas there was no re-
sponse. So two Of the detectives stood
vigilant guard over the seven remain
ing In the room, and the other two Off
GERS went into the room to round up
the prisoners.
But they failed to find any prisoners.
It appeared that there was q window
in the courtroom and the first woman
TO go for her hat had opened II and
walked down the fire escape to the
street. Thoughtfully, she had left II
open, and the second woman had also
walked down the fire escape. So had the
twenty-onc others permitted by the de-
tectives to go into the room.
Tighe, Reynolds and Jackson searched
diligently all over Columbus Circle, but
failed to find anybody who looked pros
porous enough to play So poker. so they
took the seven prisoners they had left
and locked them UP in the West Forty
seventh street station. One OF them,
Francis Kay, was charged with per-
hitting his rooms to be used for gam
bling, and the others were charged with
being common gamblers.
