These touts are everywhere. They swarm about the court nightly and are so open in their assurance that there is no possible danger attending a visit to the rooms because the game is un- der police protection, that you cannot help believing them. If you know any: thing at all about the city you will know that everybody in town can tell all about the game; that they visit it with imnunity, brushing rast the ven- erable Chief of Police on their way to the elevator. You will know that Chief Lees is a nightly visitor to the Palace passing several hours in the office or court every evening, and his presence will go far toward strengthening the touts’ reassuring words.

It is no exaggeration to say the game is open, for everybody who looks as if he had any money to bet has no difficulty in finding room 937. There are no heavily barred doors to keep out the police; only the ordinary wooden doors such as are used all over the hotel afford the desired privacy to the play- ers. These doors are kept locked, but the locks are of ordinary pattern and | besides an attendant is always on hand to answer any knock. Chief Lees is willfully blind—as Her- veys's employes freely assert—or this ther proof that he has outlived his use- fulness. It is said the Chief has be- come so feeble minded that he can no longer detect his own presence, and it looks as though this were true. But Lees is not the only blind man in town, nor is Harvey's the only game running. Police Commissioner M. A.

The other game is located at 1049A Market street, room 4, H. Morse being credited with the proprietorship. This, too, is a picayunish crap ganie and is totally unable to purchase police pro- tection, unless such protection is cheaper than it has ever been before. In all probability it is sheer stupidity or criminal indifference on the part of the authorities that enables these games to flourish. And there are others. But the game at the Palace is the most open. Last year Harvey conducted a faro game there all through the racing season and for several weeks after the ponies went | East. He would probably not have closed it down at all had not a promi- nent resident of one of the interior counties lost a large sum of money one night last summer and made such a fuss about it that Harvey was quietly notified to close up. ——— Gifts for My Ladie.

An army of touts has been and is em- ployed in capping for Joe Harvey's faro game in the Palace Hotel, while crap and faro games in other parts of the city have been conducted almost It was the unblushing boast of Harvey's men that paid for police protection, and its location was so generally known that there seemed to be good grounds for the assertion. With the object of accurately locating and exposing these games, The Call sent out several men Tuesday night to gain admission and indulge in ue at the Palace. ascertaining that Harvey’'s game was going on the freight elevator, near the ladies’ grill room, that San Francisco was rapidly gambler, comm the game The reporter had not THE EXAMINER IMPORTS LEPERS FROM HAWAII Shed Crocodile Tears Over Immigrants.

One of the gold bricks issued by the Ex- aminer a year ago has returned to smite the yellow journal in the neck. The first chapter of the story was told at the time by The Call. Then the Ex- aminer shed a few crocodile tears, set its brass band to playing, and having osten- sibly assumed a charitable burden, dumped the load upon the shoulders of the Salvation Army and never gave a cent for the free advertising that it gave | itself. On the Ist of September of last year there arrived on the Hawalian bark R. P. Rithet five children named Agnes, 14 years old; RBertha, 13 years; RAlfred, 7 ears; Ottilee, 6 years, and Carle 4 years. They were of the Hagsten family of Hon- | olulu. The father was a worthless drunk- ard, the mother a fallen woman. The mother had died shortly before that time, having lived for nine months upon the earnings of the shame of the 13-year-old daughter. United States ITmmigration Commission- er Stradley called a special board of in-i quiry, consisting of John Lynch, E. H.| Hills, Arthur P. Rhodes, E. A. Holmes | and 'W. A. Sprague, to pass upon the | matter of the admissio}x of the children to this country. The board re- ported that the five half-orphans were liable to become a public charge and recommended that they be deported to Honolulu. Before this step was taken Major Winchell of the Salvation Army put in an appearance and exhibited letters from persons in Honolulu to the effect that a sum of money had been left to the children by | | | | | The fibfiOOOC(DOOOGOOGCG):'(OOQOQQGGOOGQOQGOQOOGQQGOO'QOO f=R=ReF=1 f=g=gog=g=gegegegag=Feg=g:g=3:FeFu3ReFoReFoFg TP F-FoFoF R R he went up to tke first floor. The attendant at the door questioned him closely, but upon the reporter giving the names of several touts whom he knew to be in Harvey's employ, he was conducted through three rooms to the one in which faro was being played, passing through a room con- taining a roulette lay-out on the way. He bought a stack of chips for $10, and after winning $40 cashed in and left the game. He was not permitted to depart the way he entered, but was conducted through a labyrinth of rooms to a door opening into a hallway. The exit was so confusing that the reporter had to stop and take his bearings before he could make his way downstairs, Reporting the success of his mission to the editor, it was determined to send an artist to get a sketch of the place. In company with another reporter, who had been coachéd on what to say to the attendants, the art- ist went to the Palace, and the two were soon at the door to No. 937. The attendant seemed suspiclous, asking many questions as to whom they knew. how they learned of the game, and finally took them down to the Palace bar-room ere one of the barkeepers who knew them vouched for them and they were conducted back upstairs and into the game. While the reporter wi ting himself from $20 the artist surreptitiously sketch- ed the scene er which they took their aeparture, being shown out through the mystic maze. : Meanwhile another Call reporter and artist found easy access into the crap game at 1027% Market street, where one lost his stake at craps while the other made a sketch of the place and players. Last night Chief of Police Lees denied positively that any faro had been played in the Palace Hotel for nearly two years. The Call has ample proof that faro was played there Tuesday night. If Chief Lees cares to convince himself that such is the case, let him come to The Call and the proof will be forthcoming. sep: Dfifififififififififififiofififlfifldo'QQQQQQQQO «GRCOOBERCOBOGOT U O Y in evy des th or en| to wi th Se turn a card, spin a wheel or shoot craps while he w Chief of Police, emphasiz- Ing his declaration with sundry fan- lastic expressions.

The shock might prove disastrous to one of his years and mental condition. But you don’t have to worry about such things, so you tell the elevator boy to take you up to where the fun is going on. You will be landed at the first floor and instructed to go to room 987. No. 937 is easlly found. It opens from the corridor on the Annle street side, near Market, and is the first of a suite of “our rooms. The hotel books will show tiiat Joe Harvey, bookmaker and all-round sport, is the guest who occuples the suite, and anybody who knows Joe Harvey knows that he could have only one use for such extensive quarters. That use is for gambling purposes. There is an attendant stationed at the door, who, fn answer to your knock, will admit you cautiously, and while asking the object of your call will carefully scrutinize you from head to foot. When you ask if there is any- thing going on, he will reply, if satis- fied with your appearance, that “there isn’t anything doing tnis evening. but there may be some of the boys inside.” If he is at all doubtful he will curtly inform you that ‘the rooms have been vacated, at the sarie time opening the door for you to retire. And he takes good care that you do retire. too. But that does not occur very often. for the game is now well established with regular patrons, including most of the horsemen and men about town, with money enough to sit into a game with practically no limit, and the inclination to do so. The strangers who drop in now are, for the most part. traveling men, actors and visitors from the coun- try and the East. As these are all easily identified and, perhaps, are ac- companied by some capper for the game, there is no trouble about them gaining admission. After you have passed the outer guard you are still a long way from the Royal Bengal. There is an inside sentinel stationed at the door of the room adjoining 937, into which you pass, who takes ancther mental in- that he would certainly have no trouble Ordinarily Mr. he might have aroused the old Chief | enough to have him put a stop to them, | open, but just now he is too deeply Perhaps, though, he will find time af- ter the Legislature decides the Senator- ial contest to look up this game.

Again they are gone over by hand for the removal of scorched grains. The nuts are then put through a mill and ground as fine as the finest flour, the natural oil in the grains giving it the appearance and consistency of putty as it leaves the mill, except that it is more of an orange color.

It is used for all purposes ordinary butter is used, in- cluding shortening and frying. Physi- cians pronounce it more healthful than cow butter and it is much less expen- sive.

There is no formality attending your entrance. If there is a vacant place at the table the dealer pauses long enough for you to invest in a stack of chips— whites 50 cents, reds $1 and blues $5— and gives you an opportunity to place your bets, and then he goes on with the deal. There is practically no limit to the betting; the cash drawer at the deal- er's right hand is always well filled with piles of shining twenties, tens ana fives, besides a healthy looking heap of silver, while a fat wad of green- backs of various denominations is ready to back up the coin. In all there is several thousand dollars for you to pull down if the fickle goddess smiles on you and you break the bank. And Joe Harvey knows where to get more money when that is gone. Besides Harvey does not run faro and roulette layouts for charity; he risks his money for the returns it will bring in and the returns are satisfactory. They must be to enable him to pay the army of touts he has out nightly capping for his game. Touts are expensive; so are gamekeepers, watchmen and other ar- tendants, while a big suite of rooms on the first floor of the Palace is not given rent free as a rule. These expenses, in addition to the cost of police protection, which Har- vey's employes so volubly assure you the game enjoys, being substantiated by the nightly presence of Chief Lees among these employes who ply their vocation under his very nose, require a much greater percentage of winnings to meet than a ‘“square” game enjoys. Old gamblers have figured out that in a square faro game—that is where the cards are dealt fairly—the game has anly 5 per cent advantage over the player. In “brace” games the percent- age depends upon the cleverness of the dealer in maninulating the cards. These same old gamblers will also tell you that no game can be square and pay for nolice protection. Joe Harvey's game was in full blast last night, the night before and, in fact, every night for the past two or three weeks. It has been known to everybody in town almost, except Chief ized by young men—barely more than boys some of them—who play their dimes, quarters and halves where the others play fives, tens and twenties. One of these games is located on the top floor of 1027% Market street, and is conducted by Eugene Suter. A decid- edly novel plan has been hit upon to hoodwink the police. Lace curtains are neatly draped at the front windows, which usually bear innocent-looking “Furnished Rooms to Let” signs.

The Examiner saw a good opportunity for free advertising in the matter and freaked the story after it had been scoop- ed on it the day before by The Cail. Tearfully it spoke of the arrival of the | pauper family, and among other silly as | well as false statements, said: “The United States stood at the gang plank of the ship and said to the five orphans, whose only rel- atives are in this country,” ‘You | shall not come here; the alien labor law | shuts you out; there is no room here | for five little orphans. If you want to stay long enough to send word to your relatives or to have a hearing at Wash- ington you must give $2500 as a bond that you wiil not run away.' " As will be seen the foregoing statement | in the Examiner was a lie from beginning to end. The children had no relatives in this country, and_ they did not claim to have. The allen labor law did not shut them out. It was simply the law which rovides that other countries — shall not Biinp thelr paupers, lepers and eriminais on our shores. his was the brass in the | Examiner's gold brick. On the next day | vo employes of the Examiner signed the | tl:rlluld fgr )SZ.GDO as a guarantee that the| children would not become a public charge. s Then the Examiner dumped the chil- dren upon the Salvation Army and lost Sight of them altogether. It happens that the immigration laws require that the local Commissioners shall Teport once each year as to the condition of such bonded immigrants, and Commis- sioner North recently investigated the matter for the purpose of preparing his report to the National Commissioner at ‘Washington. He found that the children had been taken to the Salvation Army Rescue Home for Girls at Beulah, where | Agnes, the eldest girl, was for mgmh_s thereafter under the care of Dr. C. W. Bronson for treatment for a loathsome disease contracted in Honolulu. In the early part of the present year it was dis- covered that the next oldest girl, Bertha, immediately shipped back to the Ha- wailan Islands by the Salvation Army people, and is now a member of the leper colony on Molokal. At the Salvation Army Home Captain Schell of the Immigration Bureau was told that Alfred and Ottilee had been placed in charge of Rev. Mr. Daniels, said to be a member of the Children’s Home Finding Society, who had found homes for them or had placed them with some- body on trial. There was no record at the home of the whereabouts of the chil- dren, the record containing simply the names, ages and the date of arrival. Dan- fels had gone to Colorado and the old em- filoyes of the home had left for parts un- nown. From other sources Captain Schell learned that Alfred was with Mrs. Anna Globe-Democrat. Provided For.
