There are on an average six races a | day and one hundred racing days in: the Ingleside racing season. At least | eighteen bookmakers gamble everyi racing day.

The bookmakers of Ingleside are i not in the business for their health. | They exist because they win money, | not because they lose it. It is hardly credible for one to claim that the bookmakers paid this sum to the In- gleside association. They never: paid a dollar of it. The people of San Fran- cisco were bled for it and then the ci- rectors of Ingleside boast that they gave in purses and stakes in four years the sum of $886,860 75. The deluded: victims: of the track, through | ‘their ‘agents, - the. ‘bookmakers, paid for these purses and stakes. Nor is. this ‘the wholé story of. what the peoplé ‘of :this city pay .for the dreadful luxury of having Ingleside and _its- bookmakers. - Thesé. gamblers must not only. pay big tribute to thé as- sociation, but .each must employ on an Aaverage of five men each at a daily sal- J ary of $10.° This has meant. in four rac- ing seasons at. Ingleside .a’gigantic sal- ary roll of $360,000 to thé bookmakers: It is clear, therefore, that the pub- lic-of San Francisco has in four years | | paid to the bookmakers alone $1,224, 000 as a bonus' for the privilege of gambling. - As a matter of necessity, this tremendous sum had to be paid to the bookmakers before the public could win a dollai.. And of this sum $864,000 has gone into the greedy clutches of the managers of the race- course. ‘The price has been paid not | only in gold but in the blood and hon- or of once decent men and women and the wreck of homes. But the story of Ingleside’s income and ‘its source has not yet heen told. Tribute is lald upon all who enter the gates of the track. Every visitor pays his or her dollar for admission. The boys that do the gambling for the wo- men in the stand. pay $2'50 a day for | the privilege. From each -of these young fellows, who receive at the track a training in vice and dishonesty, the managers of Inglosfde extract a daily tribute of, this sum, The privileges of the bar and restaurant, the right to shoe horses and sell feed, the privilege of gélling score cards, the poor boon of selling candies and fruits, all are heav- fly taxed by the glant monopoly of +o 4 | jud handicappers, starters and the track employes.

From every pessible urce the money flows.into the coffers of the course. Of the millions thus re- ceived the public has no-account from the directors of Ingleside. These gen- tlemen tell only what they have done with part of their enormous income. What they have. done with the r inder is their secret and the city’s o sorrow. The directors, however, are entitled | to. the hearing they have demanded They report that in four years they | have expended $166,861 93 in salaries. | This money has been disbursed to men,| imported from Eastern States, such as private treasuries, filched from local houses of business and drawn from the hard earnings of poor men and women. In order that Ingleside might pay its imported employes $166,000 some men | are in San Quentin, others are in the| graves of suicides, the torch has been | applied to homes and familes know the ecret sorrow of disgrace. And the directors of Ingleside boast | that $886,860 75 have been paid in stakes and purses. It has been shown that the people of San Francisco. paid almost | this sum alone to the association | through the bookmakers. And the | purses and the stakes in most instances | went to Eastern horse owners. The Breeder and Sportsman, the official or-{ gan and defender of California horse- men and breeders, has voiced a solemn protest against = Ingleside and has shown that California breeders. have suffered and not gained from the ex- istence of Ingleside. The “skate” and not the stake horse has had the favor and the encouragement of -the track gamblers. The breeder has bowed to | the gambler, and when the directors of | Ingleside seek to show that they have | contributed to the breeding of thor-| oughbreds in this State they assert that which every California breeder of thor- | oughbreds denounces as untrue. The financial statment of lngresmel shows: also ‘that $123,000 has been ex- | pended. for meeting expenses. This means that extra labor was emploved, that private detectives were pressed | into service to protect the gamblers | from each other and occasionally . the | | de Heyneman public from them all. The legitimate industries of this city received none of | this' money, and with the reference to it the managers of Ingleside have tabu- | lated their last. great expenditure. | Among the others, however, there fis | one that merits special reference. | It is the total of gifts:made by: the. association in-four years to charitable institutions. The total is-$7975, an av-| erage ‘of $1993 75.a year. Out of the| millions that Ingleside has absorbed from this city this. miserable return has been made to the institutions which the racetrack helps to make public necessitiés. And’ these .contributions may well be called blood money. Char- ity has recelved from the gamblers-this | small relief because the ‘lives of San | Franciscans have been sacrificed;. be- cause honor and reputations have been lost. Ingleside has been charitable in the blood of a Norton, the dishoner of a Widber, the disgrace of a McGlade. The gamblers of Ingleside have opened their greedy palms and convict stripes upon young men tell why, ‘ The directors of Ingleside plead fur- ther in their own causé. They declare that they have put money in circula- tion, and unfortunately they tell the truth. They circulate the earnings of men and women® who listen to the se- ductive “tips” of the gamblers and in the service ‘they render the hotels re- ceive the snare’into which they drop and lose their earnings. The servants of the hotels in which the Ingleside rout of- gamblefs- reside during their campaign_ in this°city can tell bitterly whose money. is-circulated. The money of the track is circulated in saloons and disreputable resorts. It is circulated to incite disorder and deeds of violence, to debauch women and disgrace men. Money that should be in publie treasuries has been circulated by In-‘ gleside. The grave of a Norton speaks eloquently of some of the money which Ingleside has set in circula- tion: The flight of a Welburn tells of more that the racecourse set in circu- lation, The degradation and humilia< tion of a Neall is a lesson more elo- quent than the pleading of Ingleside’s directory to tell how money has been circulated in San Francisco. The dreadful story of Botkin, the deso- lated home in Delaware, and the crime-laden household in this city are facts far more significant to illustrata the power of the track to circulate money than Ingleside’s facts and fig« ures. And this is the plea Which the direc« tors - of Ingleside make . for ence-in this city. These men who nothing to the wealth of the city, who produce nothing but the ‘seeds of crime, who' contribute nothing but the’ fruits of -vice, ask for municipal toleration and public patronage. They tell thema selves the story of their own unpro- ductive burden upon thé city and then ask -the right to continue to live at the expense of everything worthy of ex< istence. These gamblers have told- in their own words and in their‘own way the appalling truth that the.people of this city “have built the racecourse, made wealthy its manipulators and brought upon the city in retribution visitation of disgrace and death. Thi;' in outline is the meaning of thé.finan- cial statement of the disbursements which the directors of Ingleside have made to the public of San-Francisco.
