THE £E NING WORLD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1 1912 $5,000,000 A YE FOR MILLIONS IN GRAFT, SAY THREE ON THE “INSIDE” Veteran Says Yearly Total Is Nearly! ——$—$————_—- $5,000,000, and Lawbreakers Are Made Dizzy by Demands for ‘Protection Money. @ Veteran gamblers who have watched the procession of Commisstoners coming and going since the golden days of the game before the advent of Devery got out their pencils and pa Jack Rose's estimate of $2,400,000 in ‘tection money annually poured into they agreed the bald-headed collector on one line of the “sugar.” They calculated Rose's figures to cover one agency in the gambling graft alone, the biggest {tem of which ts the “open- ing ante.’ They have reasons for think- ing that the wheel within which Rose was a spoke had nothing to do with tue enormous rake-off from disorderly fhouses and the “wire game.” These two sot of graft are under the spe- etal care of two other rings, the “privi- Jeges in the wire game being sold out for the summer,” as one of the wise allows expressed tt. ‘The total graft levied from these three elements is much nearer $5,000,000 than 92,400,000, they say.

Tm round figures, however, “alices” because of real and raids or “word to close, timately identified with gambling gave The Evening World to-day a set of figures which they asserted are as near tis yearly graft levy in Greater New York as 1s possible to reach. One of these men, who insisted that their Bames be withheld, was et one time elonely associated with Matty Corbett ‘and John Freeman, whose palatial par- dor of chance at No. 105 West Thirty- eighth street was recently closed for the Grat time in eighteen years. Im all, he said, there are about 18 gambling “places in Greater Mew York, divided as follows: Manhattan, 176; Kings County, 65; Queens County, 98; the Bronx, 44, and Richmond, 5, excluding “phony’ three men in- Of thie number, seventy-four were designated as “‘bigh class” places where there are roulette wheels, a faro bank, Poker rooms and in many cases pool ’ is to-day and tried to figure how near yearly graft tolls is to the actual pro- the hands of the police.

The gamblers were panicky and “holler” as they saw fit. The gang- ster rolled a year in riotous living, din- ing and drinking wine at the swellest places in Broadway until one day a fet months ago a certain Central Office de- tective gave him a ‘new number” and he quit the surroundings. timate what individue blers were paying for protection, none of the outspoken gentry ould respond with any degree of accuraty BIG PLACES PAID $1,200 OR $1,300 A MONTH, “If you asked me how much I pald in ® year, I could tell you,” he explained. “But as for what John Kelly, Matty Corbett, Bill Busteed, Jimmy Beattie 0: any of the ‘big smokes’ pay, I can't tell.

An approximation of the gamblers’ tolls is doubly difficult, they say, because of the variance In the play tors. Then was the constant “closing down ‘opening up" which meant a cut In te monthly ante. ‘Where this enormous protection fund mhas gone has puzzled the gamblers as much as it does now the District-Attor- ney. Even the “wisest” among them professed their perplexity. The death of Rosenthal and the revelations since have not cleared thelr minds, “All we know is that the ‘cops’ got it," eaid Toe Evening World's informant to- day, “In twenty years I never saw so many wardmen. The gambling game was never harder. You were squeezed anil ‘dled until nothing left. Every po- lice head was sald to have his men.
