HUNDREDS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN PLAYED AT GAMES POLICE GUARD : UNTIL BEE TOOK HAND Question With Public Is Who Fixed It With Police So They Not Only Permitted, But Protected, Games of Chance for Outside Show Company, Which Mr. Ringer Absolutely Refused To Allow To Operate During Last Ak-Sar-Ben Carnival. Upper picture shows Detective Haze , closing the' last gambling tame, which was run for three days by the Patterson shows. The offi cer admitted he was acting under orders issued from the city hall after the devices were permitted to run unmolested since Monday. The lower left of ','Willie, the Frog Head Child," proved to be noth insr but a still born baby in alcohol, minus the 4rog head. The lower right shows a crowd of women and children near . another gambling game. Police protected and wholesale gambling, which Jias been going on in scores of tents at Patterson show grounds, Twenty-first and Paul streets, Wednesday afternoon were stopped on orders of Police Chief Eberstein. The games of chance were thrown wide open to the public from Monday, the day of the show's arrival, until late Wednesday afternoon. ? The dvices used were identical with those which the Ak Sar-Ben used year after year at their carnival grounds, and which were prohibited and denounced last year as "corrupt The Ak-Sar-Bengovernors last year spent an afternoon in an attempt to prevail on Mayor Smith and Commissioner Kmger to let the games go for the benefit of the Red Cross. The mayor and the police commissioner turned a deaf ear iu meir pieaamgs. The Question with the Dublic is who fixed it with the police so these games of an outside show could operate when the piea of some of the best citizens of Omaha was refused to operate similar games at the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival. -1 I : Had Permit, Says Manager. The Pat.t.Arsnn shows nhfainpn fhpir nprmit. fn run their gambling games arid up the public from Commissioner Ring er and Ohief Eberstein, according to the statement of the manager of the shows. . ' The devices were run night and day in flagrant violation of the law with frojn 10 to 15. detectives and policemen on the grounds watching their orjerations. ' No attemnt was made to stop them until word was sent to the city hall that ine uee pnotographer was taking pictures. "I don't know anything about it " said Mr. Ringer yes terday morning.' "I did not know there was a circus in town. ' , ' " i The commissioner passed the buck to his chief of police. VI directed the men to order the gambling stoDDed." explained Chief Eberstein. T was told that the gambling consisted oi paddle wheels and that prizes were beinsr dis posed of." All Of 'Em ThereThe Same As Barred In Ak-Sar-Ben There were between 20 and 25 of them. ..' i' i;' They were the . same kind - of games which Dean Ringer put the KiDosn on as gambling devices a year ago when introduced on the great playgrounds of King Ak-Sar-Ben. The Patterson shows were permit ted to go with the identical games prohibited when the greatest organ ization of representative business men in the west attempted to put on amusements .they had been of fering from time immemorial. Men and women were crowding over each other to take chances on boxes of candy, kewpie dolls, pock et knives, dream books, nearly gold watches, cigars, and to have their fortunes told. School children were thronging the "Hoopla," which was advertised as a game of chance. With an os tejitious flourish, the police-protected keeper placed a knife into the eager palm of a boy. The Bee photographer stood close by and caught the picture. "The little man wins and the gam bler loses," commented. "The eye is quicker than the hand." With a touch of skill he re-arranged the dummy men in their proper places. The audience of school children gave undivided attention to the se- Dyspeptics will do well to re member ihat a great many have been restored to health by Cham berlain's Tablets, and can now eat any sort of food that they crave, ductive monologue. .The speaker's voice was high-pitched and the little boys with their school books under their arms were fascinated. A half dozen colored men edged their way through the crowd of chil dren. Full grown and eager- they stood close to the counter. "In the name of the good Lord listen, gentlemen." The man behind the counter held a ball in each hand "Now, then, who's next?" he want ed to know. "Simply awful. Aw fully good and true. Hop to it, boys and girls, too. We , don't, fear the coppers. Ihey are our tnends. The barker's voice was jubilant and gay. The next moment he was contrite. Then plaintive self-denun ciation excited wide-eyed wonder, The hypnotic gaze of the operator held the youthful bystanders. "You know, and I know you know, boys, you can make the magic pass." Spectators crowded closer to the counter and the barker continued while Ringer's men stood near by and laughed. Things were going fine. Some one grew suspicious of the camera man, Some one called Ringer's office. The police commissioner was told that three Bee men were on the grounds and one of them was taking pictures. "Orders From Headquarters." Detectives Paul Haze, P. T, Hagerman and Frank Murphy, jr., were on the grounds shortly after wards. They closed all of the games of chance and the fortune tellers, too, "What's the big idea?" they were asked. i "Orders from headauarters." re. plied Haze. U s not our fault," the detectives explained to the concession men. These newspaper men have crabbed your games. We were letting you go all right for three days, but these tellows are getting out their ham mers." ' "Why did you wait until today to stop the gambling:? the officers were asked. "We don't know," Haze said. "We can t help it. Orders are orders and we got to obey." Did Kinger .send you out here In response to a report that The Bee was taking pictures?" Instructions direct. " "We got instructions from the big boss all right. There will be no more of this stuff on the grounds." it was in the early afternoon when The Bee men arrived on the scene. Scores of gambling games were go ing full blast and the barkers were calling with all their lungs. unnoticed and unmolested the photographer Jook several pictures of the games exactly like those fpr which the Ak-Sar-Ben board of gov ernors pleaded in vain last year be fore Mayor Smith and Commissioner Ringer. It was September 26. 1918. that the committee of reoresentative Omaha business men emerged from the city hall and announced that they would not be allowed to put on the games identical with those the Patterson shows have been operating under police protection. They were the. same games the Ak-Sar-Ben wanted to operate for the benefit of war activities and frowned on bv Mayor Smith and Dean Ringer a year ago, but licensed to go under the auspices of the Pat terson shows. Mogy Bernstein was running the same kind of a , game last year at the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival for the benefit of the Red Cross when he was pinched by Dean Ringer's po licemen, who this year were protect ing the Patterson shows while com mitting the same "crime. Mogy was operating a paddle wheel. His profits were going to a benevolent organization. 'Notwithr standing this feature, Mogy was thrown in jail on a charge of operat ing a eambling device. Two representatives of the shows spied The Bee men, and a man who introduced himself as "Mr. Davis, business manager of the shows, politely offered to escort the visitors over the grounds. He wanted to know the idea of the pictures and the purpose of the newspaper men's visit. ' i It was perfectly all right, he said "We are operating strictly within the law," explained Mr. Davis. "We took the matter up with the proper city authorities and arranged to go, As long as money does not change hands over the boards we are run ning according to the requirements of law. Of course we are offering prizes, which have cash values That's all right, however. We have been assured on this point. The city authorities have had the whole mat ter explained to them. We were told to go and that we would not be mo lested." Mr. Davis was reminded of the fact that the same city authorities a few months ago had prohibited the Ak-Sar-Ben from running . the same kind of games. "I understand these people were offering cash prizes, he explained." "Of course, I don'tl know," continued the mana ger. "I do know our permit is all right and we have, no fear on that score.

Almost immediately the nolice commissioner sent his detec tives to close up the "gambling de vices." They were not opened Wed nesday night. In addition to from three to four detectives on duty at the grounds day and night since Monday, when the shows opened, from three to four uniformed men have been pro tecting the "gambling devices."
