SYDNEY BETTING RAID INQUIRY SYDNEY, May 6. Giving evidenc e befor p the Royal Commission -on betting raids and

police methods, the former Po'ice Commissioner, W. 11. deciare* that the rainificlal'i'ons of start ngprice betting in New South Wales were appalling. There was a bookmaker’s agent in every big building. Even the butcher and baker were in it, and so long as the Postal Department continued to supply telephones to illegal operators, so long would the police b e hamstrung iu t'he efforts to suppress the evil. George Parker gave evidence that he had pleaded guilty to betting offences when innocent, because he was urged to do so by police' agents, who hitherto Had caught him. He. had lost. £l4OO on starting price betting. Parker added that in U>34 he sug gested to Constable Mooney he would g’ve him the pa ce of a su't of clothes if h e would shut' his eyes to illegal betting. Mooney agreed, and later received five notes. The hearing twins adjourned.
