The various gambling houses in the city were notified by Constable Sumpter today to close up. We have not been able to see and interview him regarding the matter, but from the most reliable information ob- tainable it is stated that the action of the constable results from i'm sruction from Prosecuting Ad= tornay Cloud Whether. il is heir purpose to keep these institutions closed or not, we are unable to say. .It is hinted, however, that there is friction between them and the police authorities, and that this led to the closing act.

notify I them that the levee had broken

The river had reached it's highest point

force of men were at work trying to
check the rising waters, but second
break above backed up the water on the
workmen and they had to retire. Not

and people residing in the lower part OF
the city are leaving their homes and
moving to the foothills Of Mount Frank

housed in freight cars standing i'll the

city. The ringing of the fire bell saved
the lives of many people who were

Present a Solid Front in the
Senate on First Test Vote
on the Tariff.
Amendment Was Unimportant
but 1t Located the Vari-
Gus Elements.
Republicans All Voted or Were
Paired on the Side of the
Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The first vote
OH the tariff bill was taken in the senate
during the day. 1t came after Il two
hours debate on the item of boracic
acid, which, although comparatively
unimportant, afforded an opportunity
for the first alignment of the various
clements. Mr.. Vest (Mo.), Demo
cratic member of the finance committee,
moved to make the rate on boracic acid
3 cents instead of 5 cents per pound, as
provided by the committee. This pre-
sented direct issue between the COM
mittee and the opponents of the bill.
The amendment was defeated-yeas 20,
nays "a. The vote was largely on party
lines. The affirmative was made up of
10 Democrats and / Populist, Heitfeld.

mittee provision fixing the rate on

then agreed to.
The debate was participated in by
Senators Vest, Jones Ark, Aldrich,
Perkins, White, Caffrey, Gray and
Stewart. Mr.. White, Democratic
member of the finance committee, op-
posed Mr.. Vests amendment, urging
that the California industry required the
rate allowed by the committee.

sidered during the day, the committee
being sustained in each instance.

MUST HAVE THESSALY.
Turkish Ministers Refuse to Even Discuss
That Point.

LONDON, May 27.-The correspondent
of The Standard at Constantinople says:
The council of ministers has decided to
prolong the armistice. 1t will refuse
even to discuss the retrocession of Thes-
sally, but will leave the other points for
consideration to the powers. So far as
the note to the European arbitsltors is
concerned, there can be no doubt that
whether the sultan is only bluffing or is
the victim of popular pressure, peace
such as Europe expects cannot be ar
ranged without risk of the gravest COM
pGcations.
The grand vizier on Saturday pre-
sented report to the sultan urging
that the whole of Islam was fully deter
mined to retain Thessaly, adding:
"Your majesty proved victorious i'll Ar
menian and other matters when you
firmly refused TO be dictated to by Eu-
rope. Therefore you should be equally
firm ON this occasion"

CHICAGO LAKE FRONT CASE.
Land Commissioner Hermann Reverses
! Lamoreauxs Decision.

Land Commissioner Hermann Reverses
Lamoreaux's Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Mr. Binger
Hermann, commissioner of the general
land Office, announced his decision in
the Chicago lake front case, reversing
the decision of Commissioner Lamor-
eaux, and denying and rejecting the ap-
plication of Harvey M. Lafollette and
Matthias Beaner to locate Mckee scrip
ON the lands. This allows the patent
rendered to Robert A. Kinsie, in 1921, +,
to stand for the benefit of the grantees.
The commissioner holds that the Kinsie
patent applies to all lands in the tract
stretching to the shore line; that the
accretions inure to the benefit of those
who hold under the Kinsie patent,
and thirdly that there was ample justi-
fication for directing and holding re-
hearing. The lands involved were val
ued at upwards of $15,000,000.
The case will be appealed Immediately
to the secretary of the interior, which
decision, however, in any event will not
be final, as the case will be carried
through the courts, it already having
been begun i'll the courts in Illinois.
