One Hundred.
|,iis Angeles, Sept. 9.—The po
lice made a secret raid upon the
gambling joints within the city
limits last night and gathered in
more than one hundred persons.
Of those arrested forty-five are
still in jail, bail having been re
fused in their eases, as they are
believed to have been backing the
games. The others were released
on hail of $50(1 each.
The raid was well planned,
several of the most notorious
places being visited at the same
moment by different squads of
police. Owing to the fact I hat.
former raids had evidently been
tipped off by someone connected
with the force the police were not
informed as to the mission up
on which I hey were dispatch
ed to the1 different sections of the
city. The hank rolls and gamb
ling paraphernalia captured in
the raid represent an investment
of thousands of dollars.
Many of those gathered in by
I be police are prominent in busi
ness circles and llieir arrest lias
caused a sensation. The police
were forced to action by the crit
icisms of a local newspaper which
offered to send reporters to help
them locate a dozen places in
which gambling was indulged.
