GAYNOR ORDERED COMIC OPERA RADS ON CANBLNG ENS Directed Detail of Firemen to Lead Police Into Houses Long Closed. ) NO PRISONERS ‘TAKEN. Inspectors Dwyer and Caha- lane Find Only Dust and Cobwebs in Eight Places, It was Mayor Gaynor who ordered Me comic opere raide on the dirty, cob- {webbed gambling houses touching on ‘and appertaining to Long Acre Square. ‘The raids, which furnished raueh tnno- cent end wholesome amusement for large crowda last night, were, it was learned to-day from authority that can- Mot be questioned, directed from the City Hell. From the same source emanated the idea of reinforcing the Dolice raiders with city firemen—a rather startling innovation in the his- tory of gambling house raiding. Some time ago the Mayor received a letter from an anonymous writer com- Plaining about the establiehment of “Beansy” Rowenthel, He communicated With Police Commissioner ‘Waldo and @eclared thet he wanted “Beansy’s” lace put out of business at once. In- epector Dwyer was called to Poles Headquarters @nd explained to Com- |miesioner Waldo thet there wae noth- | ine doing in the gambling way in hie: bailiwick and, anyhow, all the places were closed tight till “times got | Setter." * MAYOR ORDERED DETAIL OF FIREMEN RAIDERS. ‘For ome reason, the Mayor conceived | the idea that the police were not do- ing all they could in the matter and he wrote to Fire Commissioner John- eon, asking that firemen be detailed to help the police. The firemen's part of the work was to gain admission by saying that they wished to inepect the premises, Then the police followed them in, to be affabiy @reeted in most places by the various proprietors of the places.

The raids in the rowing Forties ex- elted a whole lot of attention and, con- sidered as a apectacie, they were a dia timet @uccess. They likewise appeared to affonl the gamblers a good deal of amupement. “They ovight just ae well have raided the O14 Ladies’ Home or Sailors’ Snug Hervor,” said one of the knights of the @reen cloth to-day. “Outside cf mice and rate, I guess there isn't a house in the Tenderioin thet has had any viettors for a long time. You couldn't @et a game if you went gun- ming for one with a search warrant It wee also intimated that the use of firemen in entering close’ up gam- dling houses will be continted until most of the places in the city have been stripped of their contents or that part of it pertaining to gambling. The fire- men have « right to enter anywhere at any time, and, in consequence, the police are inclined: to look on them an valuable aids, !t was declared.
