FORMER DAYS RECALLED AS
CROWDS AT CRAP GAMES
LABORINC MAN LOSES PAY
HOUR AFTER BEING PAID
HARLEM BREAKFAST CLUB
SCENE OF INDECENT ACTS

AS in the good old days, gambling
is running wide open on Sixth ave-
nue. and its neighborhood.
Dice games with big sums of
money on the tables and floors are
running on the main thorough fare
of the Northside with crowds of
men and young boys getting their
cash down.
Some of the biggest of these crap
games are virtually con the side
walk" as they operate openly, and
| seemingly without anything to fear,
in the rear of cafes, restaurants,
clubs and bars.
There is at least one big game in
three continuous blacks on 9Th Ave-
nue.. Crowds come and 90 and the
game goes on.
Operate In Face Of Law
AS yet none of the big games
have ballyhoo men on the street, but
the players, laborers, boys, white
collared men and all are operating
and playing with boldness unprece-
dent. Herald reporters, in less than
an hour sat in on two games at the
rear of the Paramount Cafe, and at
the Harlem Breakfast Club on High
land Avenue. Many Of the players
are on relief yet they find cash to
place 10 or Is cent bet.
The gamblers running the games
are suave and accomplished veterans.
The most notorious dive in the
Twin Cities is the Harlem Breakfast
Club, 141 Hyland Avenue No., op-
Grated by Phil Ware, it's reputation
is of the worst. The indirect cause
of the murder of one decent and re-
spectacle citizen and the manning
of another. It operates all night
long, its noises, music and gambling
keeping the entire neighborhood in
the Hyland Avenue North district
awake.
Fights, cursing, screams of drunk
en- women punctuate the air about
TIE club all the night through. Music
| and dancing stops not for the law.
All night long the crowds dance and
sing. Witout a license to sell whis-
key the walters will serve you whis-
key straight or highballs.
Upstairs on the second floor, a
huge crap table with denizens of the
underworld, sports, white thrill
seekers and hangerson congregate to
play with "Lady Luck"
Hundreds of dollars change hands.
Hardly night passes that somebody
does not have a fight and is cast out
into the night by club bouncers,
bruised and cut or with black eyes.
Every now and then there is pistol
play as occurred four months ago
when bullets from a gun battle in
front of the place went ricocheting
through the private home next door
to the dive.
The Harlem Breakfast Club should
be closed up tight. Sooner or later
there will be trouble there which
will hurt the decent, respectable
law abiding Negroes of this commun-
ity. Already one man is in his
grave because two gunner mistook
private home for the club.
Violating every law of the city
and state, this dive is a blot on the |
city Of Minneapolis. Why is it al
lowed to run? Let's have some &C.
ton!

ONE WAY TO STOP IT

kidnapping is not an abandoned indus
Try. All the publicity aroused by the
Llndbergh case and its resultant trial at
remington, the capture of numerous
hdnapers in the middle west. the quick
solution Of the Gettle kidnapping and the
tate of the two fiends At San Jose have
not served to discourage those who seek
quick riches at the expense of suffering
to others
The abduction of George Philip Wey-
erhaeuser in Tacoma last Friday is di-
rect challenge to law and order and to
the American people which can only
have one answer-apprehensio and pun
ishment for the kidnapers.
By mailing demand for ransom to
the parents of the boy, the kidnapers
placed the government men, popularity
known as the &c men, on their trail and
it is to be fervently hoped that these Off
GERS meet up with their quarry after the
boy has either been ransomed or rescued.
If they do, some of the kidnapers are
quite likely to get the only punishment
they deserve-death.
For the present the government men
are holding off from too much activity,
giving the kidnaperS time to negotiate
with the family for the return of the boy.
If this can be accomplished, the federal
men will then move into action, not to let
up until the case has been solved and the
guilty persons punished.
Washington, SO far as can be learned,
does not impose the death penalty for
kidnapping and more is the pity. Under
the federal law, the penalty for using the
mails to send an extortion note is
$4,000 fine or Imprisonment for 20 years
or both Even if both sentences are i'm
posed, the kidnapers get off too easy.
There is only one thing to discourage the
industry and that is death.
The sooner every state passes a law
making kidnapping punishable by death
and sees that the sentence is carried out
just that much sooner will kidnapping
as an industry cease to be attractive

yes, maybe that will be best, -
agreed Jackie.
Peetie and his brother trotted

saw Uncle Wiggily standing near a
tree and looking up in it. AS it was
now the beginning of summer, there
were many green leaves on the tree,
