Of DAvENPO
CLOSED IN RAID


Mayor C. L. Barewald Of Daven-
port headed q squad Of police that
last night raided every known vice
resort and gambling house in that
city, closed the lid tight on all Of
them and confiscated all parapher-
MALTA designed to relieve one Of
those born every minute referred
to by Barnum of all his ready
cash. No arrests were made. but
the mayor intends to make Daven-
port = Sahara for those that prey
upon the cupidity OF human kind to
make q killing.
Mayor Barewald was the brains
behind the move from first to last.
Confronted with many complaints
about vice operations in Davenport,
the claim being advanced that the
city was opened wider than in its
balmiest days Of the past, the chief
executive conducted a personal in
vestigation Sunday and Monday
And found it all too true.
Last night he gathered his trust
ed minions of the law about him
and swooped down on all known
joints. With the descent Of the
police, wild disorder prevailed in
all the dens OF iniquity. But the
mayor was intent only in closing
the places and giving the owners
fair warning that they can seek q
livelihood with their nefarious
practices elsewhere.
Closes .Black and TAM
Among tie notorious places
caught in tine net was the BLACK
and Tan" at Fourth and Iowa
streets. Everything in the gam
bling line from roulette wheel to
craps was found in full operation.
Hundreds we're crowded about the
devices and thousands of dollars in
cash were changing hands The
sky was the limit. This place was
conducted by group of Chicago
negroes. who had been enjoying a
flourishing business for several
months.
A Greek pool hall on Second
street ran the colored joint close
second for the honors. Here also
a roulette wheel was much in evil
dence. This place was also in the
hands OF Chicago gamblers.

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLocH
INSPIRATION.

A POET sang of human things,
n OF gorgeous queens and might,
kings,
And gems that glsten
He praised the brassy front of show,
The ruby's fire and diamonds glow,
Yet none would listen.
He wove him many labored rimes
OF ended days and coming times
OF deeds that stirred him;
He wrote of pomp and circumstance,
The flap of flag, the light of lance,
But no one heard him.
And thus he learned to know the pain
OF him who sings but sings in vain
To ears averted.
Like one who wakes his sweetest tone
To unresponsive walls of stone
In halls deserted.
When all the merry melodies
lie sang his fellow men to please
Brought none to hear him,
lie turned from splendor and from pelf
To sing measure for himself,
A song to cheer him.
Ne wrote song of long ago
A vale where yellow lilies grow
Beside Il river
path that leads the weary feet
Where meadowland and waters meet
And rushes CULVER
lie wrote a song of childhood days,
OF pleasant shade and wooded ways
And summer quiet
A bridge that Spawned a gushing rill,
A humble cot upon hill,
With roses by 1t.
Twas not the creature of his art,
This song upweling from his heart
In moments lonely;
With memory his eyes grew dim,
For then his own soul sang to him,
The poet only.
But other mortas heard his tale
OF woodland path and verdant vale
To heaven wlnging,
And men who scorned his song before
Sought out the poets open door
To hear him singing.
Thus came to him his mistress Fame,
Clad in her aureole of fame
And smile supernal;
No more a fleeing vision now,
She placed upon the singers brow
The kiss eternal.
And then the poet, fool and sage,
Turned gently from his written page,
While braves Numbered,
And, when he saw the listening throng
OF those who once had spurned his song
He greatly wondered.

Bulkhead Needed to Restrain
Seepage, Board of Esti-
mate. Is Informed.

At the orders OF the Board of Esti-
mate. John p OBrien. Corporation
Counsel was added yesterday to the
elaborate staff Of city officials who are
endeavoring to find way TO stop the
3, 600, 900 gallon daily seepage of the At
lantic Ocean under the foundation of the
new court house.
The matter came up on a proposal
from Rodgers & Haggerty. contractors
for the foundation. whose work has been
stopped by the unexpected flow OF water
and by the citys cancellation of plumb
ing and steel contracts f0- r-f. -
mental contract TO enable them to COM
plete their original contract.
Arthur s. Tuttle. acting chief engineer
of the Board of Estimate: Edward A.
iSyrne. chief engineer CT the Department
of Plant and Structures. and Cur
Lowell. architect of the court house. WHO
have been studying the 100000 gallor
court house problem, were instructed to
confer with the Corporation Counsel and
find out what he thought ought to be
done about supplemental contract and
about the expense OF pumping the sea
water from under the foundation. The
contractors take the position that they
are not responsible for mistakes that
m ;y-have been made II. tho specifIta-
tons for their job
1t was revealed at the board meeting
that one method under consideration for
coping with the flow of water is the con-
struction of sea wall around the court
house basement.
"Do you mean to say that it viii be
necessary to construct bulkhead
around the new court house to keep out
the Atlantic Ocean," F. H. La Guardia,
President of the Board of Aldermen,
asked the engineers
1t was conceded that something of
that sort would be needed.
