WILL sToP GAMBLING.
Has Assumed Such Proportions in
Havana that 1t Must He Checked.

| Havana, July 49, The commission OF
prominent Cuban lawyers appointed by
General Ludlow to decide upon and report
checking public gambling, made a com
rete report. which was referred TO Mayor
La Coste.
IL seems that the old Spanish law was
perfectly able to cope with the entire mat
ter but that 1t was rarely enforced owing
to the large revenue received by the gov
erLment for hospitals and other charitable
institutions from the proprietors of the
gambling establishments Occasionally
the governors would enforce the law and
gambling would stop for few months,
only to break ont again and be carried on
with more freedom than ever. The com
mittee recognizes the fact that gambling
has now assumed proportions which it is
desirable to check. and sets forth in its
report that the Spanish law only requires
the cooperation of the police 20 bring
about the desired reform: but General
Ludlow insists that the trouble is not with
the police, who on several occasions have
made arrests and seized gambling outfits,
only to have the judges quash the pro-
oeedings and return the outfits to the
owners.
1t is expected that many arrests will
shortly be made, not only of the native
gamblers, but of others VINO are In the
field with the sole object OF fleeing
Americans Many gamblers with unsavory
records are in the city among them being

era Master Workman Parsons says 1t is
not, and today at meeting of the Cen
trail federated unions he launched

and at the same time urged upon the dele
gates of the various trades unions In
Greater New York the expedency OF con-
tributing 20 a fund to aid the strikers, and
the delegates promised their financial sup
port. This is probably what causes Ged-
eral Master Workman Parsons aud Dis
trict Workman Pines TO promise important
developments Ia the strike situation this
week.
1t Is a fact, however. that both yester-
day and today cars were running under
almost normal Roadway on all the lines
except the Nassau through Brooklyn, even
to the various tranchet, and carrying large
numbers OF passengers.
In New York, except for the presence
of several hundred policemen on Second
avenue and guards about the various pow
err houses. a strike would have been out
of consideration. There has been no delay
in trolley car service in Manhattan today
on any line except on the Second avenue
