BUNCOS GALORE
TWO PRETTY SLICK
GAMES FOR SUCKERS
Are Catching Money in Juarez. and
Officers From FL Paso Get the Oper-
ators Spotted.

Sunday in addition to the usual num-
blast in Juarez there was a shell game
and block game. that exceeded all
others as robbing devices. and for a
time coined money from the crop of
suckers always found in such crowds
as frequent the plaza de Toros
The shell game was the genuine old
fashioned swindle with three shells and
a little black ball. Now you see il,
and now you don't
The winning man must pick the shell
under which the ball is hidden and he
is never able to do it. swarm of
grafters and boosters stand around the
table. consisting of an inverted flour
barrel, and play regularly. One of
their number wins often and whispers
words of encouragement into the ear
of the suckers.
This game ran along smoothly
enough yesterday coming money until
one of the boosters. flushed with sue
cess, grew too bold and jerked SIS from
the hand of young outsider and COM
PEELED him to lose it on the game. The
boy complained to the police.
There was wild stampede. Shells |
and money disappeared quickly. Boos- |
ters changed places in a rush and the |
utmost confusion prevailed when the |
police reached the spot where the /
crowd about the barrel stood
Several of the sharks were arrested
and taken into the main gambling hail
where they were compelled to give back
he money to the boy.
All that was left of the shell game
Turing the remainder of the evening
vas the barrel.
The block game was even more no
rotten than the shell game
md yet it was well patronized by
Americans from this side the river
Who could easily be distinguished from
he horde of boosters.
The success of these gamesters de-
'ended on the ability of the dealer to
discount. Certain numbers were blank
nd some called for prizes. The deal
+ invariably counted the total as a
flank when any outside money was .
p and counted a prize when only The u
money of boosters was down on the &

Dutie. of Inspector Of Flour.


A. B. Duvall. the attorney for the District,
mas returned to the Commissioners the copy
OF his opinion Of June l last relative to the
inspection Of flour in the District Of Column
b'a, which was referred back to him with
the request that he advise the Commission
ers II there is any duty imposed upon them
In the matter Of the execution Of the law
relative to the inspection Of flour other than
the appointing Of officials to carry the law
into effect.
The Commissioners" says Mr. Duvall,
as the executive officers of the District of
Columbia. are charged by law not only with
the appointment Of officials to administer
the law. but they are vested with the duty
or general supervision of such officials. In
Inc case under consideration 1 am not
aware of any present duty resting upon the
Commissioners.
The law regulating the inspection of flour
provides for the duties Of the inspector of
-four, and the only way to determine any
controVerted question in respect to his
duties Is by making case which can be
submitted to the courts for adjudication"

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While some of our democratic friends and
newspapers in Maryland and elsewhere are
justly complaining of Admiral Schiey's an
parently unfair treatment in certain quar-
tiers, both high and low, please allow a
looker-on to ask If these champions of the
admiral ever raised their voices against
the action of the democratic bosses and
legislature of Maryland, under the special
guidance of Mr.. German, in DISTINGUISHING
the ADMIRAL and other "illiterate" servants
of the federal government. naval. military
and civil. under the provisions Of the pres.
ent election law of that state. And will
they demand the repeal of this so-called
election law at the next session of the
MARYLAND legislature. that the brave au-
