Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX B GAMBLE’S RAIDERS BUSY; “BUNCH OF THE BOYS” PULLED DETECTIVES PAY SUR PRISE CALL AT 115 DRAYTON STREET Mador Gamble’s anti-gambling crusade was continued last night when a “bunch of the boys in the back room’’ were taken into custody by a raiding squad of the city detec tive department, at 115 Drayton St. Those taken into custody were Thomas Whitfield, 35; Johnny Thomas, 34; Joe Fletcher, 53; Joe Johnson. 58; J. L. Brown, 29; C. W. White, 29. The raiding squad was composed of Detective Sergeant T. H. Ehls, W. H. Sapp. C. Kaminsky and S. W. Coursey. The men are charged with disor derly conduct by gambling in a house at 115 Drayton street and (2) trespass. They will answer the charges when they are brought before Re corder Merci i H. Jordan in police court Monday morning. Bond was fixed at SIOO each. Late last night Fletcher, Thomas and Whitfield were at liberty on bond. Police intimated they were confident some of the names given by the defendants were assumed. Their residence addresses were not listed on the docket sheet. It was just a few minutes before 11 o'clock last night that the raiding squad swooped down on the build ing on Drayton street. The building is a four-story one. There is a pool han on the ground floor, which po lice said was operated by two Greek citizens whose names the officers did not know. There is an entrance on the street to the upper floors and a stairway inside the pool ha l ! which likewise leads talrs. The street entrance was locked. The detail file'! into the pod hall and scurried up the stairway. They stopped on the second floor and stood b afore the door of the room in which they allege the gambling was in progress. Sergt. Ellis reported the door was barred from the inside. As soon as the police rea,ched the door ttey heard sounds of tumult inside, they said. They were confident the players were either warned by a buzzer from downstars in the pool hall or had reeognzed the fateful footsteps of the approaching limbs of the law. Anyway it was several minutes be fore the officers gained entrance. Sergt. Ellis said in a few minutes the door was opened by Whitfield. They said cards, which they seized and brought to the police headquarters to be used as evidence in the case, had been shoved into drawers of a table. Meanwhile detectives went upstairs to the third floor in search of the re mainder of the players. Not seeing anyone they went up another flight to the fourth floor which was vacant. Here, the officers reported, three men dropped out of windows to a shed and thence to a nearby yard from which they fled in safety Fletcher, Thomas and White were rounded up on the fourth floor. Descending to the third floor, de tectives discovered Johnson and Brown, they said, hiding under beds of the family which occupied this apartment. Information the offi cers gathered in their flying excur sion through the place was that the family of the pool room proprietors made their home on the third floor, a three-icom apartment. They said they saw one woman, apparently sur prised from her slumber. She hur riedly dressed to greet the sudden visit of jjotn police and alleged card players. Police took in custody the two who thought their hiding places under the beds would enable them to evade capture. A>l hands were corralled and led to the police patrol which by this time was waiting for its load Police were told Whitfield ’ had been employed from time to time in jj hall ft the lira’ton street EUis said Whitfield th i* was the ease.

Police were investigating today the possibility that a whisky still on the premises caused the blaze. Tire loss was estimated at $4,000, fully cover ed by insurance. Fire hydrants in this section of the city are of the ancient variety and despite the fact that city regulations require the regular l testing the fire ’ plug which would have been the key factor in quickly extinguishing the blaze failed tc function as it w’ould have done if proper precautions had been taken. After valuable minutes aad been wasted trying to get a flow of water firemen were forced to string hose a considerable distance away. Mean i while flar.es lapped out into widen ing territory and seriously menaced ths section of the city. Firemen worked franticilly with a piece of machinery from No. 4 fire house. This particular p.ece of machinery known as -he ’ Goroon Saussv,” is H years old.

Meny were quite outspoken. The solemn tolling of the Big Duke fire bell, summoning assistance to En gine Companies No. 2 and No. 4 which were the first on the scene awakened many Savannahians a lit tle after 5 o’clock yesterday morning and attracted a large crowd to the fire. The first alarm came in from Box 91 at 5:13 o’clock. It was followed a few minutes later by alarms from Boxes 92 and 93. Shortly after they arrived the first fire force on hand sent in a call for help. This call for aid brought Engine Companies Nos. 5 and 3 commanded by Capts. P. L. Harley and I. H. Pierce, respective iy. Fire Chief Walter S. Blanton ano First Chief A. J. Tosacn, Second assistant Chief G. E. Joan son and Third Assistant Chief D. £■. Murphy likewise were on hand to di rect the fight. The damaged property is owzted by Max Segall, grocer, who operates his store at the Wilson and Walker street corner of the buildings. Mr. Segall resides at 504 West Thirty sixth street. Beyond water damage his store was not affected by the blaze. The location of the burned dwellings is two blocks behind the Union Station. After the fire had been extinguish I ed, Assistant Chief Murphy ordered i Lieut. T. C. Murphy of Company No. M 5 to make a last-minute check of the i I smouldering interior of the buildings i I before the last of the fire equipment I prepared to leave the scene. Part of I the property faces Spruce street. En . tering the negro quarters at 215 • I Spruce street, Lieut. Murphy report -1 ed he found the remnants of what ■ I apparently had been a whisky still. • I Lieut. Murphy said there were a num il ber of metal plates, such as might have been used in forming a vat for , liquor being distilled. He said there i I was evidence also of melted copper I tubing and the lik.e There were also I found three ten-gallcn kegs of whis ky. Police Officers J. J. Dillon and I J, M. Byrnes took the whisky to po- I lice headquarters where it was 1 1 dumped.
