PRECEDENT FROM CAIRO.
Richard Harding Davis Story of How
Ed Little Closed Gambling
HOuSeS Is True.


Since Judge E. B. Pfost, of the city court
of Kansas City. kas., personally led
raid of officers on a gambling house down
on the state line few days ago and made
rich haul, he has been freely criticised
for taking so active part in cases that
were to come before him for hearing, and
it was claimed that he had acted entirely
without precedent in the matter. He has
been carrying on a quiet investigation,
however, and has found ample precedent
for his action and says he will do so again
whenever the occasion may warrant.
In the 'Stories of the Mediterranean"
written by Richard Harding Davis, there
is recorded a tale of E. C. Little. now
private secretary to Governor Leedy. of
Kansas, who did almost the same thing
when he was serving the American govern
ment as consul at Cairo, Egypt. Mr.. Davis
tells of how the gambling houses that We're
numerous in Cairo conceived the brilliant
idea of flying the American flag over their
houses and claiming American citizenship.
by the American consul. Mr.. Little was
notified of the situation and served notice
at once on the gamblers that they must
take down the flag or stop gambling. They
did not do as they were told.
Then the Kansas idea of business as un-
derstood by Mr.. Little was called into play,
anu ne went uoWH PRESUMABLY 10 tne SamD-
ling houses and while the games were in
progress informed the players and the own
ers they could close the game then and
there or he would arrest every one of them
and smash every table in the houses with
an ak. They were given a few minutes to
decide They closed. Judge Pfost now ar
CUES that if Mr.. Little was justified in TAX
ing that step he was amply justified in go
ing just a step farther and raidng the
places.
Private Secretary Little, of Topeka was
in the city last evening and was asked
about the story published by Mr.. Davis.
He said that in general the story was true.
He did have some trouble with the houses
and did close them. He said the main
facts were entirely true and if the houses
had not needed his orders he would have
smashed the tables just as he threatened.

The extremely high temperature yester-

that from all indications it is the last
heated spell of the season.

size OF the bug or whether it has two legs

the question is, is it a curse or bless

he says, its home is here yet, it fuckers

out the wheat there, why not in Illinois
or even in far away India. Don't you
