And Brokers' Shops Must
Close Their Doors
ANOTHER CRUSADE STARTED
BROKERS WILL COMBINE TO
FIGHT THE CASE
Notice Served Upon Several Gaming
Establishment That They Must
Close-Only One Obeys

Now that the lottery war is fairly on
the police department will devote it's
energies to looking after other sorts of
gambling games. Yesterday morning
all the tape and broker esta blishments
in the city were served with notice that
they would have to close up or the pro-
prietors would be arrested.
This action is the result of an opinion
recently given by Assistant District At
torney Joe Chambers, who has been Civ
ing the question of the legality of the
games his consideration for some time.
This opinion was examined by the po-
lice commissioners who in turn instruct
ed Chief Glass as to the action which it
was desired should be taken.
Five places were visited yesterday by
Detectives Auble and Bradsh and noti-
fled that they must close their doors.
Two of this number, run by F. P. Burch.
at 109 East Second street and Black &
Fitzgerald, at 212 South Spring street,
are tape games. The others conduct
brokerage offices. The Los Angeles Min
ing exchange was also visited but was
not molested. Out of the entire number
notified only one firm, Black & Fitzger-
aid, has closed. The others are still run
ming and state that they will contest the
action which is about to be taken in att
tempting to close up their establish
ments
The tape games give nothing more nor
less than fictitious quotations and the
transactions which are made are based
upon these. The brokers claim that they
do legitimate business and should not
be classed with the tape games. They
state that their quotations come direct
from the New York Stock Exchange by
wire and that they give real quotations
and not fictitious ones, as is done by
the tape games. The complaints have
been made against them on the ground
that they are bucket shops.
The proprietors Of the establishmen
notified expressed considerable surprise
at the action taken but say that they will
fight the cases. Yesterday they had not
consulted their attorneys and were ont
prepared to make any statement as to
what policy they will pursue. 1t is not
known whether they will pool their isi-
sues in contesting the cases or not.
L ID III Cii, Pl oPi iC lOi VI q eoP 6oiiiO
at 1O9 East Second street, stated that it
would be practically impossible to close
UP in a day on account of outstanding
contracts. He expressed the opinion that
his business is, not contrary to law, but
that if it should be proven to him that he
was conducting an unlawful business he
would close UP his establishment at
once. He argued though, that because
one lawyer said the tape was illegal 1t
did not settle the case at all. He stated
that he was anxious to have the tape
games pool their issues and make a
test out of his case.
Mr.. Black closed his place as soon
as the notice was served. He will prob
ably join the others in fighting the case.

quaint old styles are illustrated from

These dresses were made by Longaiu,
designed from old oil paintings and
prints available from that period.

bear the impress OF master hands and
minds, and bring the American public
In direct touch with the beet Partisan

handsomer than the color plates pub
lished with February Toilettes. Other
features of interest are the many little
accessories to q lady's dress, such as
muffs, collarestes, belts, jabots, fans
and all the countless little aids to
beauty which delight the eye. OF
