INCREASE OF GAMBLING. 66990006 Various city and county officials and one private @itizen, Mr. Frank Farrell, yesterday made interesting eontributions to the public stock of knowledge and in- ference about gambling. Mr, Farrell, credited with Deing the proprietor of a palatial gambling-house around the corner from the Waldorf, denied the allegation. District-Attorney Jerome announced that with the fall | geason he would begin a new crusade against gambling- houses. “I am aware,” sald he, “that there are a great| many more crooked gambling places in existence now than there were when I began my political campaign or before that time.” Col. Partridge sald: “Of course, there 4s gambling and always will be. I shall go about the 9 suppression of gambling in my own way.” Capt. Shee- han said: “There {s less gambling here than ever before. | @ ‘The stories were started out of spite with the intent of | ; fnjuring me.” Characteristic utterances all! Can you not hear the! ® axe crashing through clubroom doors? Can you not see | ‘3 the elderly Colonel suppressing gambling “in his own! ‘way?” Who was It that was shouting from the stump mine months ago, “Elect me and put an end to dlack- mail and Deveryism?” Who was saying, “Put me in office and I will close up the gambling-houses and put | out the red lights?” Yet here are the admissions of ‘prominent officials that conditions are worse than they were.
