DOUGLAS DOPE READY FOR
 GAMBLERS
Ordinance Prepared Which Will Be Passed At the Next Meet ing of City Council In the Shelter City,

Douglas, Arizona, November It. According to Ben Rice, chairman of the printing committee of the city council. to which was referred the or dinance regulating gambling In Doug las, there is not the remotest possi- bllity that the ordinance will not be favorably reported by his committee and passed when presented to the council.
 For some time a rumor has been afioat that Mir. Rice had weakened on his position of being averse 10 gan- bling and in favor of prohibiting 1t, and his statement should detnitely put an end to such talk.
 T am chairman of the printing com mittee, said MT. Rice, and l sAl assure the public that the comOitRe will report favorably on the ordinance and that when it is reported il will have my vote.'
 So much for Ben Rice having switched.
