A blindfolded boy comes out, turns the wheel and draws out a number, A cierk takes the card, calls out the number and then turns its face to the gathering so allcan see it, This is repeated at the morning drawing until the. boy has drawn out twelve nulnbers, Which constitutes the draw- ing for that morning. In Frankfort there1s another drawing going on at the same time.” TELEGRAPHING THE NUMBERS. “After the numbers are drawn,” the officer went on “they are telegraphed to New York where the ‘headquarters of the firm that manages the busi- ‘hess ts located. This firm has its agencics all over the country. Every agent has his own book of ciphers. The numbers are sent out over the coun- {try In cipher despatches so as to prevent any per- Son from possibly obtaining them in advance. "The agent When he receives his telegram works out the cipher and prints the numbers on slips. In addition to the precautions taken in telegraph- ing in order to prevent all possibility of any one’s ‘beating’ the rereeh men, all the policy men are compelled to close their books ut 12 o'clock a and turn them into headquarters. All the bool get there before these drawings are received. So no one can buy any policy numbers after the hour of the drawing in Kentucky, At the evening drawing thirteen numbers are drawn out which slightly increases a players chances, One can py if he likes on both books, buying numbers which are good for both the Louisville and Frankfort drawings, but in case he wins, he only gets half as much “as he would if he bought only on one When the books have all been turned in, the clerks at headquarters go over them, and where- ever a ‘hiv’ has been made mark it down, ‘THE CURMSTONE WRITERS. “Now the policy business in this city has Teached such @ pass that most of it 1s done by What are known as curbstone writers, who gointo alleys to meet the players or write numbers at some secluded corner, always on the alert for the Police, The player tikes a slip of paper to Keep, on which are written the numbers he plays. ‘Thi slip of paper has on it, for instance, the letter “M,’ meaning the morning drawing, the date, the num- bers wiich the player wants, and the amount which he plays. ‘The writer has a book of mant- fold paper, on which he keeps a record of the num- bers sold." He makes three sheets or copies of these. One of these he takes off and kee} self, one 1s kept by the policy backer and the third is put into the expressand sent to New York. After the book is closed, 1t 8 carried across the Aqueduct bridge, and when they have looked over the printed slips with the numbersdrawn, are Drought to the city and distributed among the players. If there are any ‘hits’ the money 1s given Wo the writer, who pays it to the lucky player. The policy firm allows the writer twenty per cent as his commission, and this the writer takes out of hfs gross receipts before he turns in his money and policy books to headquarters, All the ‘hits’ that are made the firm pays, SOME OF THE ROWS PLAYED. “These are some ofthe rows played,” remarked the detective, and he showed the reporter the following memorandum: Pistol row, 21, 16, 57; 2, 12, 24; dog, 4 13, 41, 12; big dog, 54; louse, 03, 4, 53; coftih, 4, 7, 47, 74: 4,13, 44; monthly, 14, 22, 53; ‘filth, 3, 5, 8, rad, 7, pal 3) 9,47, 50; police, 16, 38, 37, 12, 21, 69; baby, 1, 2, 3; shoe, 5, 9, 16, or horse, 4, 8, 16, 50, 44; silver money, 7, 7 ‘Smith's, 18, 50, 66, 68, 1, 66, 61, 60; snake, 1, 8, 11, 60, 61; 4, 17, 27, 45; whisky, 3 6, 10, 7; card, tire, 4, 6, 46, 64; washwoman, 4, 11, 3, 20, STAKING MONEY ON DREAMS. “This policy business fs such an institution that instance, if a person dreamed about a the dog row, or if he dreamed play the eating row. ‘This ap- peals strongly to the superstitious side of the ne Anegro player will go home at night and night, and if ided to fit dream one can concetve of. hen a player gets 4 gig, o has thiree of the DU BREAKING UP OPPOSITION CONCERNS. “This firm in New York controls about all the hs the results twice aday.

We ran and caught him at the door. We went in, but found, everyone gone except a man, who was our ‘pigeon. ‘This man made a motion, indicating that the peo- ple we were looking for were upstairs, and we Went Upstairs and found them, But we could find no Policy numbers or books anywhere. Our ‘pigeon’ gave us to understand that they were under the table. But we turned over everything, but could not find what we were looking for. ‘Finally we discovered a little secret drawer on the underside of the table, where the papers were concealed.

And this fact is not only recognized by the sentiment of our people and by the voice of the press, but is emphasized and encouraged to the greatest extent by the War department itself.
