NEW SLOT MACHINES.
superintendent Orders the Ar
rest of PrOprietOrs.

superintendent Colbert has begun a war on the
new slot machines which have recently appeared
in many drug stores and cigar stores. The new
machines are nickel-in-the-slot affairs on which
there are no blanks. Every nickel dropped into
the machine wins 5 cents worth in trade, but
there is yet an element of gambling in the de-
vice, for there are several "2's'' and one go on
the wheel and if the indicator points to one of
these numbers the player wins two or three times
the amount of his investment. There is also a
number of ball machines. To operate these the
player buys small shot at 5 cents apiece and for
each one he may win as high as ten cigars and
cannot win less than one. At roll call last night
the superintendent gave instructions 10 the men
to arrest proprfetors of stores who have these
machines in use.
