MAKING PREPARATIoYs.-At police head
quarters the following significant order vas
yesterday promulgated by Chief Jackson
and copies given to each patrolman, as well
as posted upon the bulletin board: "Ofi-
GERS on patrol duty will at once inform
themselves of any and all games of faro,
studhorse poker or other banking games
tan or lottery games, carried on In this city,
and report forthwith to the Chief of Police
Let care be taken as to the exact locality,
the owner or conductor of game or games.
Reports to be made in writing and must be in
by Thursday, March 10, 1885, at O'Clock"
This would seem to indicate a determine
ton on the part of the Chief to move
upon the enemys works without delay,
but he is reticent as to his intentions 1t
seems that as soon as the Board of Trustees
repealed the ordinances authorizing gam
ingto be licensed, the offices of the so-called
Jones bill making it felony to license
gambling, so far as this city is concerned,
had no possible effect upon the situation,
and that the matter now stands as though
neither the license ordinances nor the
Jones bill had ever been enacted. The
original Section $500 of the Penal Code
lette, rouge ct noir, rondo, or any banking
game played with cards, dice, or any device
for money or other representative of value,
Is now IN full force, not incumbered by any
ordinance or license. On March II, 1885
the Governor signed the bill amendatory of
this section, which amendment includes
the game of stud-horse poker among those
prohibited. 1t is therefore surmised that
the Chief of Police has been investigating
the situation and intends to take some inn
mediate action. OF course, a license would
not now be any possible defense, as the
ordinances are repealed; and it would
make no difference when the Jones Act
went into effect if there is no attempt to
license by ordinance.
POLICE CoURT.-Y esterday ia the Police
Court the case of Charles Smith, charged
with perjury and disturbing the peace in
connection with his marriage about two
weeks ago, was taken up and the perjury
case examined, and then set for argument

ing the peace will be attended to afterward
The father and mother OF the girl he MIR
ried are very bitter against him, and wish
him convicted of perjury in swearing,
when he got the marriage license that she
defendant claims that she told him she was
of age, and he acted accordingly. 1t is
probable that the matter will be brought
before the Superior Court shortly by l. S.
Brown, attorney for defendant, on an APP
plication for release of the bride from the
control OF her parents or habeas corpus. ....
Maggie Ham, accused of disturbing the
peace, was discharged. ..... George Chapman,
