THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1899. POLICE RAID THREE NOTORIOUS MARKET STREET GAMBLING DENS fDens of Iniquity No : Longer to Flaunt Immorality the Face of Decency. The Call’s Crusade= Against Vice Has : Again Brought 1- ' Good Re- : : | | sults. |m . s t! i T | | NCE more has public opm/on:‘ al forced action on the part of | g the Police Department, and | g THE CALL'S crusade against - flaunting vice has agan borne fruit. Three notorious — gambling- | ®| houses—the Cafe Royal, at Fourth ® and Market streets; Metropole, m 823 Market street, and Palace sa- | g loon, 869 Market street—were raided last evening, and a number | . of frequenters of these debasers of morals were taken to prison. Months ago THE CALL began its crusade, showing the perni- cious evils which were permitted - by a complaisant Police Depart- f ment to debauch and corrupt the m \aN youth and young manhood of San | g progress night and day, were ex-| posed, and the slave traffic of that ™ portion of the community shown in such colors as to attract the at- ® tention of the entire city, and the m result was an upheaval in the per- m sonnel of the Chinatown squad g Vantage point to another until the people began to feel that decency and morality would finally rule. The Examiner then jomed the crusade and gave able and welcome assistance to THE CALL in 1ts cleansing efforts. Following close- ly on the lines laid down by THE CALL, the Examiner did valiant work in the interests of decency, and last night's raids were the beginning of the end of the reign of evil in San Francisco. Acting under instructions from Chief Lees, Sergeant Conboy, Officers Tyrrell and Esola and posse began their evening's work. They were all in citizen’s dress, | and although recognized by many hang- ers-on about the places afterward raide the alarm was not given, as it was thought they were on a peaceful mission. Sergeant Conboy entered the Cafe Royal | and proceeded back to the apartment set aside for gaming. He watched the men at | | the tables, and after satisfying himself | that the “dealer” had taken a percentage out of the game, he placed the latter and the men who were gambling under arrest. ‘When he ordered them into custody the gamblers started up in affright and tried | to escape. Those playing at the other tables thinking they, too, would be tak: to prison, made a dash for liberty.
