WHOLE LID OF IN THE BRONA Gamblers Gren. i Out of Hee lem Are Said to Have Found Things Easy for Them Above the Harlem River. | POOL-ROOMS RUNNING ' WIDE OPEN, ’TIS SAID One Man Who Is Interested Is Said to Be a Close Friend of Two of the Most Prominent Tammany Politicians. f i 4 Mayor McClellan and Police Commis- sioner McAdoo to-day had their atten- on called to the fact that the “lid” 4s off in the Bronx; that pool-rooms and + ambling-houses are flourishing there, and that there is-every evidence that some one high in the Police Department ping a large profit through gratt. ector of Police Albertson has just nagoeadad Inspector ‘Titus in the Bronx, and it 1s evident that the former has worked on the theory that there were no violations of the law tn the quict , Brong, and that the people were just ‘as quiet as they looked. So Inspector Albertson has sat back quietly and permitted gamblers and keepers of the pool-rooms driven out of the east and West sides of Harlem by exposures made in The World to take up their Quarters in the Bronx, Pool-Rooms with a Pull, Under the very eyes of the Bronx polloe these men are working, and they boast of pulls with men high in pice in the municipality or prominent m Tammany politics. Until the ex- posures in The World Thomas Lloyd ind William Newman were proprietors of reputed pool-rooms in the ‘Thirty- 4 fourth Assembly District, but these ex- posures drove them from their favored Part of the city, and they have now taken refuge in the Bronx. One pool- foom, sald to be owned by Lloyd, Is at One Hundred and Fifty-fourth street and Third avenue. In the room racing charts are hung Rbout the walls, gnd bets are taken for any amount,/and taken openly. ‘There ig a policeman on the sidewalk directly outside. Two plain-clothes men yrore seen to stop in front of the pool- room and send a messenger inside. If they did not place a bet they made arrangements for the collestion jot graft. The transaction looked bad “or the two plain-clothes men. That there was a money transaction there , fa no doubt, and the affair did not look like @ bet was being placed for the pur- pose of making a bet and getting evi- dence. Near Westchester avenue and One + ‘Hundred ang Fiftleth street 1s another pogl-room, which has been located for the purpose of catching the bettors who are employed in the wholesale butehers’ district. Any properly-iden- tifed person is admitted to the room and before the races are run men go , through the market soliciting bets. Get Twenty Per Cent. Rak * If the police are not aware of this place then they are alone in thelr (ignorance, and if a story which 1s current {s truth the police are not only aware of its existence but gain to the amount of 20 per cent. of the profits taKen in by the gamblers. This 20 per cent., 80 it Is asserted, goes to a man high in the police department. The Nomad Club, in East One Hun- red and Forty-third street, 1s another prosperous place. This place ts regu- Inrly incorporated with » charter and ‘officers, but it 1s sald to be operated by © pull which 1s made strong by a fOll of bills which 1s passed out every Saturday night, and it 1s sald to find lfs way to the pockets of the samo police oMcials who draw the 2 per cent. from thé Westchester avenue pool- room. While Inspector Albertson takes things easy in the Tremont Avenue Btation, where he makes his head- quarters, there {s a pool-room getting ready for operations not three hun- dred yards away, This pool-room will ‘be opened to-morrow and will be for v patrons with lots of money to bet. _ This pool-room {s across the street + from the municipal building and a short distance from the office of the Coroner, KAISER AT GIBRALTAR.

CONTRADICTED. The rumor having been circulated among the trade for some time that the well- known and old-established Clothing House of Messrs. Brokaw Brothers has been sold to a syndicate is most emphatically and energetically denied. The business of this House is now and has been under the same ownership for nearly half a century, and will continue so, with no thought of change in the future, younger members of the establishment coming forward to con- tinue the business which now occupies, as it has since its inception, the highest place in the clothing trade of the United States.
