Every game was wide open and there
were eight or ten houses patronized
by different classes of people, which
paid licenses TO the city. The munici.
pay government was practically sup
ported by the gamblers and the sa-
looms, the revenue from those sources
being between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year. My friend tells me that between

the combined pay rolls amounted to
between $4,000 and $4,000 a month.
But now everything is closed tight,
and it was done by a committee of

that gambling was a bad thing for the

NUMBER OF DEAD

MAYOR WILL INVESTIGATE CAUSE

Albany n. Y, Aug. 9.-This morn.
ing found 200 men still working over
the wreck of the John G. Meyers Com.
pany department store. Seven bod
les, many of them mangled beyond
recognition, have been taken from the
ruins. and one women died after be-
ing taken to the hospital. The known
dead, the list of which last night num-
bered five, has been more than
doubled by the addition of several
others, all employees.
In addition to these it is almost GER
tain that fifteen or twenty bodies still
remain in the ruins. Fifty women en-
ployes are still unaccounted for and
grave fears are expressed for their
saftey.
Thorough search carried on since
early this morning has revealed the
fact that all the men and all but one
woman employed in the store are ac-
counted for. About thirty cash boys
out of seventy-five have not reported
but it is thought scarcely possible
that many of them are in the ruins.
The proportion of boys thus far
known to be killed and injured is
small. These facts lead to the belief
that the number of deaths will prove
considerably less than feared at first
Mayor Gaus said today: "If any
person has been guilty of negligence
to which this accident is due, he will
be punished" Investigation will be
begun as soon as the work of rescue
is over,

CARRY DAY In FRISCO

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 9.-The
primary election to choose delegates
to the various municipal nominating
conventions was the most exciting
event of its kind ever known in this
city. The issue was the endorsement
or condemnation of the administra-

they tell you in Albuquerque. You
hear the same tale in every wide open
town. AT Muskogee, l. T., several
people asserted that the prohibition
regulations were killing the town. The
people of Deadwood, however, came to
a different conclusion, and now the
merchants expect that much of the
money which formerly went over the
gambling tables will go over their
counters instead.
Many of the people of Albuquer
que do not like the name of the town
II is awkward and foreign and they
often get letters from people in the
east, which show an amazing amount
OF Ignorance and wound their vanity
Men of intelligence and education
write to the banks and newspapers
and officials out here, inquiring what
language is spoken in Albuquerque
and what kind of money Is used
what customs dues are charged and
whether the laws are sufficient for
the safety of life and property. The
inhabitants would like to change the
name OF the territory, too. That is
one of the greatest inducements for
joint statehood with Arizona. Then
everybody would know that this was
a part of America and albuquerque
would not object to having the cap
ital of the new state located here. 1t

Mexico, and probably has a larger
population than any other city in the

According to the census of 1900
there were only 6,326 here at that

enumeration was imperfect and that
incompetent men were employed to
do the counting, and that at least one
third of the population was missed.
There are two towns, Old Albuquer-
