How Detective Traps N.Y. Grafters
BURNS OPERATES A DEN
NEW YORK, Aug 10.—At least one
of the gambling houses which William
J. Burns, the detective, opened to trap
the police grafters is still in operation.
bor the benefit of the police "graft”
collectors who have become terror
stricken by this development it is stat
ed that the house is located in Forty
fifth st eet. not far from Sixth avenue.
Seven other gambling establishments,
all doubtless paying tribute to the "sys
tem.” are In full operation in the same
block.
The Burns gambling house was open
last night and did good business. The
play was fairly good, despite the fact
that a great many patrons of such
places fear being caught in a raid, and
since the Rosenthal murder have re
frained from gambling.
The investigation of the “system” by
Burns began about three months ago.
He started by determining what poli
ticians were the connecting link be
tween the underworld and the politi
cians holding higher offices In the city.
Convinced that this was the only
method by which a thorough investiga
tion could be made, he went to the
wealthy men who had offered to pay
the bill and explained that it would be
a very expensive undertaking The
answer was “Spare no expense.”
Starts Inquiry at the Metropole.
Careful study showed that a great
many politicians who acted as con
necting links between the men “high
up" in office and well known sporting
characters dined frequently at the
Metropole hotel, in front of which
Rosenthal was murdered.
Burns decided to begin operations at
this point and trace the "graft” and
alliance both downward and upward.
Hundreds of people—the majority of
them of eminent respectability—dine
daily in the Metropole. It was an Im
possible undertaking to watch the place
and “shadow" the patrons until the
right ones were found, so Burns went
Into the business of furnishing waiters
to hotels.
Primarily, his object was to get at
least a few of them into the Metropole.
To hide his efforts In this direction and
avert suspicion, he furnished waiters
to all hotels tn need of them. It was
difficult to get detective waiters into
the Metropole, but Burns did finally
succeed.
The success of this plan is best told
by a report by one of the waiter detec
tives. It is said to run this way:
“Subject No. 6 was very nervous last
night. Subject No. 5, whom Operative
No. 378 is watching, came over to my
table and sat by No. 6. No. 5 called
me over and asked. 'Who was that man
sitting over at that table (pointing)?
Have you ever seen him here before?’
I replied in the negative. Then he said
to me, ‘Well, waiter, you watch him.

because I think he is a Burns detec- ,
five.’ OPERATOR 234.”
It was not more than a week, it is
said, until Burns knew of every con
nection existing In the meetings of va
rious members of the “system.” He
also learned that some prominent office
holders were in the habit of repairing
to a room in a hotel and having a social
game of poker.
Tolegraphone Spies on Poker Game.
Burns furnished the hotel with a bell
boy and a porter. The particular pur
pose was to string a connection to a
telegraphone and locate it in the room
where the poker games were held.
In a room several miles away a ste
nographer sat nightly for two weeks
and recorded the conversations in the
power room, while the ever active little
telegraphone with its six miles of wire
worked away recording the voices, so
that when produced in court they can
be recognized.
One night the stenographer sat and
waited for his machine to begin work.
All night he waited, but it failed to
record.
Next day it was learned that the
wires had been discovered. There was
consternation in the gambling frater
nity. All were sure the trap was not
set by the police.
One politician who sat in a game
and of whom Burns now possesses a
splendid record, holds one of the high
est offices within the gift of the people
in New York.
“Close up every gambling house in
the city. Burns is on the job,” was the
word that immediately went out.
Every gambling house in New York
closed. A detective agency was hired.
It is said that the head of this agency
—-a very famous one—paid one man
$5,000 because he was supposed to be
close to Burns. His job was to “feel”
the detective out on the subject. Burns
scented the game, ft is said, and told
them he was after a certain office
holder.
A short time later, in discussing the
finding of the wires with a friend, a
well known hotel man was quoted as
saying;
“It's all right. Burns was just after
an old fossil of a politician. I hope he
gets him.”
Gambling Opens; Burns Works.
Convinced that the wires were not in
any way connected with an attempt to
stop gambling, the houses were re
opened, much to the satisfaction of
Burns, whose work of collection of
graft evidence went merrily on.
Then came the murder of Herman
Rosenthal. Burns was just about sat
isfied his evidence against the “sys
tem” was sufficient at this time. For a
few days all gambling houses in the
city were ordered closed. Then the
poker rooms were allowed to open.
They are running now all over the city.

ORPHANS GUESTS
AT ATLANTA FAIH
Confederate Veterans From the
Soldiers Home Marvel at
. Progress of City.
Orphan children from the various
homes around Atlanta reveled in the
wonderful sights and screamed with
delight at the souvenirs offered at the
exposition of Atlanta-made goods this
afternoon in the Auditorium.
The children were the guests of the
Atlanta manufacturers and came from
many of the homes, attended by nurses
and superintendents. The invitation to
the children was extended only this
morning when the directors, busy tn
getting ready for the final windup of
affairs, remembered the wee little mites
who have no parents of their own to
take them to places of amusement.
Other children had learned so much
about the varied and wonderful things
made in their own home town and
through the influence of the exposition
had grown to feel still greater pride In
Atlanta, and since the visit of the or
phans this afternoon they have tho
right to share the same feeling and
knowledge as their more fortunate
brothers and sisters.
Veterans See Exhibits.
From a group of gray-hatred men
who wandered through the Auditorium,
stopping here and there to look at
machinery and implements manufac
tured here, came the greatest expres
sions of delight and wonder. They
were Confederate veterans from ths
Soldiers home, and they, too, were the
guests of the exposition.
Men who lay in the trenches around
Atlanta and kept Sherman's hosts at
bay for days and days, protecting from
the invader a small village, realized
more strongly than any others the
great progress of the city which sprang
up from the ruins of war.
EFFORT TO UNSEAT
CATLIN DENOUNCED
AS POLITICAL TRICK
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.—Declaring
that the Democrats have attempted to
unseat Representative Theron E. Cat
lin for purely political reasons and
designating the action of the elections
committee No. 2 as "peculiarly vicious
inconsistency,” Representative Ander
son, Republican, of Minnesota, today
delivered a scathing arraignment of
’ the committee’s action in the Catlin
case.
“The majority report,” said Ander
son. “contains no sufficient statement
of the issue of the facts. It contributes
nothing but a series of inconsequen
tial conclusions, none of which is
i faitly supported by the evidence.”
The Minnesotan adds that the terms
. of the Democratic report are In keep
. ing with the spirit of the times when
"second-story worker, yeggman. bur
glar, thief and robber” appear to be
polite expressions in politics.
TWO NOMiNEES FOR
PRESIDENT INVITED
TO SPEAK IN MACON
MACON. GA., Aug. 10.—It is very
likely that Theodore Roosevelt, will
make a political speech in Macon at
the Georgia State fair in October and
that Woodrow Wilson, whether presi
dent or not, will address the 1913 con
vention of the Georgia Bankers asso
ciation in Macon next April. Both have
been extended invitations and favora
ble replies have been received from
them.
Today the executive council of the
Georgia bankers met here and re
newed their invitation to Governor
Wilson by concurring in a general in
vitation from the Macon clearing house.
Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Bank
ers association and local commercial
bodies. Haynes McFadden, of Atlanta,
secretary of the Georgia Bankers as
sociation, attended the bankers’ execu
tive council here today.
A delegation from the fair associa
tion will call on Colonel Roosevelt in
Oyster Bay next week and again urge
him to speak in Macon during the fair.

NEW YORK PIER FIRE
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—A fire that
started at noon beneath the New York
Central railroad freight pier No. 72 in
the North river at the foot of Thirty
third street today spread with great
rapidity and within a short time had
totally destroyed that pier and com
municated to pier No. 73, another New
York Central property.
It was estimated that the loss would
be at least $250,000.
EXTRA COURT TERM IN TOOMBS.
VIDALIA. GA.. Aug. 10.—A new bill
has gone through the legislature and
now lacks only the governor's signa
ture which provides for four terms of
superior court in Toombs county a year
instead of three, as formerly. It is
likely that the extra term will take the
place of the city court.
It's like getting money from Home, for
ft's money easily made by reading, using
and answering the Want Ads in The
Georgian. Few people realize the many
opportunities offered them among the
small ads. It's a good sign that if the peo
ple did not get results from the Want Ade
of The Georgian that there would not be
so many of them. If, for nothing else, sit
down and check off the ads that appeal tc
you. You will be astonished how many ol
them mean money to you. The Want Ac
pages are bargain counters In every line
The ads are so conveniently arranged tha
they can be picked out very easy.
