NOW GAMBLERS WONDER WHERE THEY ARE AT Recent Raids on Bush's and Dan Smith’s Places Set ‘Em to Guessing. STILL HAVE FRIENDS The gambling fraternity of Indianapolis ia In a quandary. Both the “suckers'* and the gamesters, who have for several years been playing the races practically without molestation on the part of the police, are now trying to “dope out” whether the two recent police raids of betting pool rooms mean that the administration Is not Intending to permit further operations or whether the raids were merely designed to make a showing of,activity on the part of the police. When Sergeant Winkler and his squad arrested Dennis Bush, alias J. J. Casey, and the bookmaker pleaded guiKy In police court it was generally understood that the affair was Intended to protect the department against the criticism of dosens of citizens who were complaining of the wide open gambling. When Sergeant Russell interfered with the race pool selling of Dan Smith, former saloon keeper and prize light promoter, the fraternity became exceedingly uneasy. There were indications that the police meant business. PROVED DEPARTMENT STILE ABLE TO ACT. These two raids established what the police Lave long sought to avoid establishing. They showed that when It was necessary the department conld successfully raid the racehorse pools even though they be conducted by telephone from the offices of men who have heretofore been regarded as “Immune” from police interference. Shortly after these raids a rumor was In circulation to the effect that a wellknown sporting man of the city who has been regarded as backing these pool's, bad withdrawn his support, and there was a noticeable falling off of business on the race books. Now. however, the word Is being circulated that business is as usual in at least three places said to be maintained by the syndicate which was formed some time ago and which has had smooth sailing throughout the last year. The two raids recently conducted by the morals squad are the first police interference with the racing pools In Indianapolis since Thomas W. Marshall was Governor of Indiana. In the Marshall administration the problem of coping with this gambling syndicate became so great that the Governor was asked to interfere, and he cansed an Investigation to be made of the leased wire service over which the syndicate got its race results. OUSTER NOTICE GIVEN TO TELEPHONE COMPANY. Notice was finally gtTen to a telephone company that suit would be brought to oust if from Indiana If it did not cancel
