The illicit numbers game employs
regularly somewhere between 5000
and 10000 persons, veteran police Of
fcials estimate.
Controlled by Criminals.
The racket is controlled by a few
men-gambling magnates who have
built sumptuous homes, own yachts
and fleets of expensive cars.
Who these numbers tycoons are is
known about town. The police know
them.
Their employes-the pickup men
and writers-hang around all over
town-in Office buildings, Government
departments and at street corners.
Some even make the rounds of homes,
soliciting housewives and servants.
And yet the police say they are pow
erless to stop this arrogant, pervasive
racket.
This innocent little numbers game
-fattened into big business by the
daily pennies, nickels, dimes and quar-
tiers of the faithful thousands-is run
mostly by racketeers-men with GRIM
inal records, some involved in muir
ders, others in various crooked &C.
tivities.
Violence strews the trail Of the
numbers through recent years.

Felonies and Murder Increase.
Veteran law enforcement officers
blame the numbers for the menacing
growth of crime here because, they
say, word seems to have spread
through the underworld that the Ma
tion's Capital is an "easy' city.
The records prove what's going on.
During the fiscal year 1880 the
district attorneys Office had 1919
felony indictments to prosecute. BY
1895 the number had risen to 1.577,
and in 1896 the grand jury returned
1,645 true bills for felonies.
The fiscal year ending June 30, 1887,
saw 1888 felony indictments. And it
was estimated at District Attorney
Garnetts Office yesterday that the
total for the current fiscal year will
reach $500.
There were 36 murders committed
in the District in 1880, 56 in 1886 and
SO in the fiscal year 1887. Since June
80 the police record shows "a homi-
cides, with the current fiscal year
only half over.
Out of All Proportion.
The most prevalent felonies are
robbery and housebreaking, With ag-
gravated assault next.
Washington's increase in crime is
far out Of proportion to the gain in
population, criminologists point out.
The number of criminal cases
pending in the district attorneys Office
has doubled in seven years, and the
courts are clogged with cases awaiting
trial, many of which cannot be
reached for months.
Gun play has flared frequently
among the gambling racketeers who
conduct the numbers, bookmaking and
