RAID 33rd ST. MONTE
CARLO, NAB THREE
GAMEKEEPERS

Detective Sergeants Scott, Mid
dleton and Stark swooped down
upon the "Monte Carlo of Amer
lea" early Saturday night, and in
the confusion and pandemonium
which ensued, bagged three of the
gamekeepers. Their explanation
of the fact that only three were
arrested was that by the time they
put the first three under arrest,
the others had hastily scattered
themselves to various parts of the
globe.
The so-called "Open Air Amuse-
ment Park" at 33rd ST.. and Wa
bash Ave, has been called Amer
ica's Monte Carlo" not because
a large amount of money changed
hands there, but because of the
diversity and variety of the games
of chance TO be found, and of the
open and notorious way it has been
conducted.
The three gamekeepers nabbed
were Ed Ryan, white, 435, So.
Clark St., VIM. Gaughan, 20 So.
Dearborn St, also white, and Joe
Baker, 3115 Indiana Ave. Ryan
and Gaughan were operating
roulette wheels. Baker, with ma
tive simplicity, was operating
marble game. They were find SIS
and cost in Harrison st. Court,
Monday morning. Immediately
following court session, several of
the concessionaries were seen re-
moving their effects.

eral public approves of the action OF
The Chicago Whip and realizes how
they have been duped and fooled.
Simon's Shoe Stores, located at
$40 E. 35th, 745 f. 47th, l46 E.
55th and 241 East 31st Street,
cater almost exclusively to color
ed people. They employ no col
ored people,, however, and do not bid
very strongly for their patronage. 1t
Just comes to them, so to speak. Simon
believes, as do many other of the busi-
ness men of the community, that it
is not necessary to employ colored
people nor make an open bid for their
patronage through the papers, etc. He
will have large handbills printed which
will be thrown on your doorsteps and
glut up mail boxes If Mr.. Simon
wishes to maintain his patronage
among the colored people he will do
well to conduct his business along
more democratic lines. He informs us
that in his four stores he employs his
family. We hope that he will employ
few colored and return to the COM
munity fair per cent of the profit
that he is reaping. Next weeks issue
of The Chicago Whip and every other
issue for some time TO come will re-
veal the unsatisfactory conditions oil

FINDS HUBBY'S BACHELOR
CLUB" TO BE OTHER
W0MEE'S HOME

Mrs. Minnie H. Wingfield, 3629
Ellis Park Ave, is one of the few
women to draw back the veil and
peer into the myteries of the
Bachelors Clubs" where so many
husbands spend their leisure time.
After being denied for many
months the companionship of her
husband, Marion II. Wingfield,
Mrs. Wingfield came from De
troit in search of him. She found
that he was working at a bach
elor's club" in Hubbard's Woods,
Winnetka. His work there seemed
so arduous that he was able to
visit her only once a week.
Further investigation revealed
the fact that the nearest thing to
a bachelor at the Club" was a
bachelor maid, in the person of
Miss Christine Fluellen. 1t appears
that Wingfield was working for
her, and had been working and
living there for several months.
At the divorce proceedings
which naturally followed, Mrs.
Wingfield secured a decree and
a settlement of $1,000. \
She was represented by the law
firm of Ellis and Westbrooks.

other evidence of the growing disre-

all on the part OF Southern whites who
have been taught by the lassitude OF

seems convenient, was seen in the
hanging of Casey Jones, white. by a
