providing for universal suffrage. The
scheme is said to have been approved by
the emperor-king and a portion of the
coalition party, but it is understood that

/ hereby notify all managers owners OF
manipulators O gambling houses in the
city of Hot Springs that / shall expect
each and every gambling house to close On
the morning OF April g. 1906. And IL any
such house should remain open on that
day or thereafter I shall proceed against
the same and shall ask the court to have
all gambling devices OF all kinds burned.
according to law IT, after three DAYS
after the publication OF this notice any
gambling device or paraphernalia whatever
prohibited by law shall be found in this
the same be burned according 10 law.
Club owners say the orders will be
obeyed. Two Of the largest clubs, the Ar
kansas and Indiana, voluntarily closed

regard 10 the closing OF the pool rooms
and race tracks. as there is no specific
state law prohibiting the making of books
or selling pools on horse races.
Prosecuting Attorney Scoggins stated to-
night he probably would take no action
against the oaklawn race meeting, mas
much as 1t would be closed within week.

was supposed to have been finished at
noon. The keeper of the hotel invited the
workmen and a large number Of towns
people 20 a grand dinner. The company
assembled in the middle banquet room
and was drinking the health OF the builder
and landlord when suddenly a crash was
heard above. A score of those I'm the
banquet room jumped from the windows
and doors In time to escape, when the
house came down.
The town tonight presents an indescrib-
able scene of horror and grief There is
hardly a family but has lost one or more
members. The villagers and people OF the
surrounding country are inquiring for their
relatives. The dead are laid out in the
town hall adjacent to the scene of the
disaster. The work of rescue Is still pro-
