Chicago Gamblers Surprised.
MAYOR HARRISON ORDERS ALL GAMBLING
PLACES RAIDED ON THE 5TH, AND 1T IL
THOUGHT THE ORDER WILL BE ENFORCED.
CHICAGO June 3.-ln accordance with in
structions from Mayor Harrison the chief OF
police has issued orders to all lieutenants and
officers to inform the proprietors of gambling
places that the ordinance relative TO the seiz-
ure and destruction of gambling implements
viii be enforced literally on and after the 5th
police officers by reason of such seizure and de-
struction, the corporation council has volun-
teered the services of the law department for
the defense OF such suits without any cost to
the officers. The proprietors OF all the regular
gambling houses and the saloon keepers in
whose places poker il played have been notified
OF this order The notification was a great sur
prise To the proprietors. None OF them had ex-
pected il, and all regard IL as meaning business
similar orders have been given before, but the
gamblers are utterly unable TO account for such
action at this time. One of them suggested
that perhaps "A recent article relating TO the cx.
money and was twice arrested by the police
for kicking" had forced upon the mayor the
conclusion that il was time an effort made
to stop gambling in Chicago.
