Are a Rea dr.vou. lor AW i-c.bator. for Criminals. Contending that pool halls In the outly ln,r districts are nothing but rendevous for -inblera. stti k-up men and other criminals. members of the city council are agitating an ordinance which will regulate the halls. Cvmncllmen Herka and Pavls say that thev will Introduce an ordinance which will force all lool halls to close at half Iast twelve at night, at the latest. The ordinance will ' also require licenses for ach table and force the owners to put up a bond that they will observe the law. The councllmen have the co-operation of the probation of fliers and the chief of I olio. "Half the petty crimes, which are com mitted In the city are planned in pool hall In the outlying districts." says Davis. "Many of th so-called halls are nothing nicit tluui blinds. An owner opens a pool hail and Immediately a gang of young sters, who have no other plae to loaf, nisko It their headquarters. Gambling f lourlht' and the losers must have some vav to recuix-rate their losses and pay ' tfielr debts. They begin by petty thieving which extends to sticking up pedestrians at late hours. As they get away with their crimes they gain more confidence and finally become the most dangerous of criminals. 'Many gambling houses in the city are operated under the guise of pool halls. These halls also furnish biding places for criminals and affora them loafing places while they are not plying their trade. "If owners are forced to close at mid night, legitimate proprietors will not be hurt financially. Then If these criminals have no place to loaf the police will have much less difficulty In picking up undesir ables. "if we can get an ordanance regulating pool halls passed there would be a notice able decrease In crime," says Probation Officer Kernsteln. "I have been agitating such an ordinance for months, but so far I have been unable to get the council to Iss it. Young boys, especially, are the ones who will profit If regulation Is adopted."
