lookers were arrested. In the
general confusion to get away,
several perrons leaped out of
the second story window, two
of them suffering broken legs.
"Mr. Bill” left town for good
and his confidential man
(washed his hand of the game
forever, a 1 though he has re¬
mained in the city up until to¬
day. It may be here stated
that within recent years there
iiave been no public throwings
for the winning number, the
operators simply selecting the
winning number as they saw
fit.
Among the original runners
in "Mr- Bill’s” line-up were two
top notch sellers who, seeing
the possibilities of the game,
decided to carry on for them¬
selves. One of them died a
few years ago after amassing
a comfortable fortune out of
the game and the other is said
to be head of one of the two
regular houses that closed last
week.
The number of ‘'indepen¬
dent" runners who muscled in
on the game lias never been ac¬
curately ascertained. They
sold their numbers at five cents
each while the numbers of the
regular houses sold for ten
cents each. The "indepen¬
dents” paid off on the winning
numbers selected by the
regular houses. A ten cent
hit on the regular houses paid
seven dollars and a ten cent
hit on clearing house paid
forty five dollars.
The clamping down of the lid
on bolcdo has not only run the
game to covet, but it has caus¬
ed a number of the leading
runners to leave town. Sev¬
eral of these men who have
made fabulous earnings from
their -sales of numbers, are
said to have failed to make in¬
come tax returns, therefore,
they are fearful lest they be
pounced upon by the federal
authorities. Thus their depar¬
ture.
Several years ago the larger
of the two regular boledo hous¬
es instituted a Christmas sav¬
ings plan among its members.
Participation in the club was
compulsory, and each Christ¬
mas a fat plum was divided by
the members. This year, of-
course, because of the sudden

here last week by Maj Gen .
Henry Larson, island command
er. *
Larson did not involve white
troops in his announcement, al¬
though Walter White, NAACP
executive secretary, reported in
a radio address from the states
that whites were involved.
The commander confirmed the
sentences against the Negro
sailors, varying from lour
months to four years, as final.
Between 25 and 30 Negro na¬
vy men, attached to the naval
supply base company here, took
two trucks without leave from
the naval supply depot and
drove toward Agana, court-
martial testimony established.
White said that they had pre¬
viously b*en chased from there
by whi’e marines.
These men, court records
show, were apprehended in the
truck by white military police
and Negro master-at-arms as¬
signed to the depot law enforce
ment detail. Maj. Gen Lar¬
son did not reveal that any
testimony had been introduced
to Involve the whites in the up
risings.
Testimony revealed that 14
.45 calibre pistols, a .38-calibre
revolver and 18 loaded clips of
45 calibre bullets were found
in the trucks.
White reported that the white
marines harassed th’ Negro
sailors into a state of despera¬
tion. A group of them threw

shutting down of the game last
w*ek, the club also came to its
end Even though it had run
only a little over six months,
the members cut a nice, juicy
savings pie Saturday. The
top man is said to have gotten
a 43,100 slice and all die rest of
them amounts that were start¬
ling. One man took down a
$1,400 slice, went across the
street and entered a gambling
joint. Four hours later he
came out dead broke.
It is stated that the opera-j
tors of the racket hope to star,,
the game again after the heat
blows off. It is understood
that they intend to employ a
system that is not so consplcu-
ous as that in which runners
are used The system suggest¬
ed is that used in several other
cities in which the numbers are-
sold only in stationary places
located throughout the city.

What’s more, this ice cream may
be made by using light cream
