GAMBLING FRATERNITY
PREPARING FOR
THE END
.Albuquerque'S knights of
Chance" Already Hitting
the Long TTdi.
END OF GAMBLING MARKS
EPOCH IN NEW MEXICO

Although sixty days yet remain be-
fore the death knell of licensed
gambling will be tolled by the mid
night stroke of the clock in every
town in New Mexico, metaphorical-
ly speaking, the little god of the
green cloth" has taken to his death
bed, and the watchers gathered for
the final ministration which will
end when his plethorlc career is
snuffed out with the dawn of the
new year 1908.
Green Cloth Men are Leaving.
Already Albuquerque's knights
of Chance" have sensed the call OF
the long trail. The fortnight follow
ing fair week saw the departure OF
several of the fraternity-to return
no more-and others have caught
the migratory spirit which means
shaking the alkali dust of the south
west forever. For New Mexico, once
life of the old frontier. has become
land of church and schools-of
commercial clubs and puritanical
homesteaders, in whose ears the

sudden undoing of the wide open"
club room.

Probably no town in the territory
VIII realize the change so effectively
as Albuquerque. From the stand
point OF civic progress the event is
one of portentious interest. The me-
tropolis OF the territory and so sit
uated as to attract large transient
element as we'll as furnishing much
employment for unskilled labor-for
IL Is from these sources that much
of the gamblers custom Is drawn
Albuquerque has for many years
supported a numerous fraternity. In
consequence, the advent of the closed
lid policy will not only mark an
epoch In the Greater Albuquerque
movement, but mean as well a re-
adjustment in many quarters.
Already the city council has taken
steps to meet the school fund deficit
which the present system would suf-
fer with the eliminating of the gamb-
ling licenses, by proposing a small
additional license on practically all
lines of business. 1t is believed few
business men will object to this, for
II has been the history OF all towns
that the elimination OF gambling has
not only greatly improved collec-
tiCns and general credits, but slim
ulated business as well, and that the
small levy will be more than offset
by these advantages.
Will Mean Fewer Saloons.
Under the new regime II is thought
the number of saloons in the city will
be reduced. Already one of the larg-
est has disposed OF it's building, ,ef-
fective January LIST. Others will re-
duce the size Of their quarters and
open some OF the most desirable
down town locations to other lines
OF trade. and II Is believed a few

OTHERS NOW BLAMED
FOR CAUSING TROUBLE
!
Convicted Men Have Taken Their
Medicine CameIy and Said Mo-
thing of the VerdiCt--Senti-
ment Is FavOring
Them.

Denver, Colo, Nov. A move
ment is on foot to secure a commu-
tation of the sentence imposed upon
Leonard Imboden and j. A. Hill, for
the part they played in the. Denver
Savings bank closure. Application
will be made to the board Of pardons
in few months. The prisoners have
been in the penitentiary IS months.
To use a common expression they
have 't'aken their medicine and said
nothing"
Since the men were sentenced a
good deal has taken place to temper
the severe judgment passed upon
them at the time. Public sentiment
ran high. They had been accused
of "looting the bank"
Today there is a largely signed pc
tition from the depositors asking for
commutation of the sentence. At the
time of the closing of the bank it
was not in such bad shape. After
making due allowances to receiver
and attorneys the depositors came off
fairly well.
Way is Clear.
The last legislature did a good
deal to clear the way. A committee,
with Senator Bardwell at the head,
made thorough investigation of the
failure of the Denver Savings bank
and two other institutions, and their
upon the statute books, a law that
has been most beneficial to the state
just about this time. 1t has made
secure as the national banks the
saings banks and other banking in
stitutions.
Imboden and Hill were the arch loot
ers they had been pictured by some
of the politicians Interested in the
failure. The bank had been damag-
ed before Imboden got control. His
predecessors had been playing high
Others Blamable.
Members of that committee are
favorable to a commutation of sem
tence. They have expressed the be-
lief that some persons who had been
connected with the institution, who
could not be reached legally, were
more TO blame than Imboden.
AS for Hill, he was simply a clerk
and had little to do with the matter;
but he has stood gamely by his mas
ter through it all.
Imboden Is a sort of monomaniac
on banks He was establishing a
chain of banks that would have
reached around the republic II he
bad been let alone for year or two.
He was the forerunner for some of
the noted or notoriuos financiers on
Wall street. in the art of bank for
nation. Here he got into trouble
with some of his own employees who
sought TO impose upon him. Then
the lawyers jumped in and he was
caught in the whirlpool and down he
went with him perhaps a dozen
banks in Oklahoma and Indian Ter
fitory and Texas.
They Are Game.
Imboden does not seek a pardon
He firmly believes that he was IL
lpgQlIV QOnVirfad and it Ia btc fnfan-
tion to appeal the case to the United
States supreme court once he gets
his liberty.
The clemency sought for will be
fercely opposed from certain quar-
tiers; but the opposition win have no
effect on the governor and the board
of pardons If they can be convicted
that Imboden and Hill have been
punished sufficiently for their own
and other peoples ambitions and
follies. Their sentence was from
nine to ten years each

Farmers Get Ready.

From all over South Carolina comes
inquiry about how to proceed to get
up Farmers Union and all about the
work Of the Farmers Union?
In answer to all these questions

as had been announced. This being
public meeting, good many ladies
took advantage Of the invitation,
which was extended. and were pres
ent to hear the address Of DIR. c. I.
Wyche on typhoid fever, malarlal
fever and tuberculosis, all Of which
the doctors claim are preventable dis
eases.
The Herald and News gives fair
ly full synopsis Of the remarks OF DR..
Wyache and eommerds what he has to
say TO all of it's readers.
There is nothing of greater import
ance to the people of this community
thar their health, and if by taking a
few precautions the diseases can be
prevented, it is much better than to
undertake to cure them.
The following is the address Of DIR.
Wyche:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1 deem it proper in beginning
this discrssion, to tell you why am
here. At me last meeting Of the Medi-
cal Society it was decided that we
should have public meeting and In
vite the people here to hear the dis
cussion on this subject, and I take as
flattery that I have been selected to
open a discussion on so important a
subject, but the subject was limited
to typhoid fever, tuberculosis and
malarial fever.
Now, in speaking on this subject
when it was first mentioned, [ thought
it would be a bad idea to invite the
public, but after thinking about the
thing DIR. Mayer is correct, it was an
important matter to invite the ladies,
because the American citizen is so
much engaged in the rush after the
almighty dollar that he thinks Of very
little else, and the ladies do think OF
something else. Ladies could have
a great deal Of influence, but want
to say this, that I am glad to have
you with US today and I am glad to
come here, because I have something
to say % you and something that l
want YOU to hear. I want to speak in
plain terms, so that you can under
stand what I say and mean, and am
going to speak so plain that anyone
can understand.
Typhoid fever is disease, which
is caused by micro-organs a bacillus,
a living thing, which has very pc
euliar nature. This disease germ, as
it is so called, has peculiar nature
so with other germs.
This germ Or bacillus will live in a
dormant or quiescent state until II
is introduced into the system. If it
falls upon suitable soil in the system
il produces remarkable results. 1t
multiplies. It is carried through the
system by means Of the b,ood-vessels'
It produces fever, rapid emaciation
GREAT prostration and sometimes even
death itself, by hemorrhage or exhaus-
tion. It is not my purpose to go into
a discussion of all the changes, for !
have not the time. If I were able to
kdiscuss that fully, I have not the
fme neither have you the patience
? hear it,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1907-08-13
have their hands up.


I wish to say in conclusion. l
have tried to explain to you several
things, and I do not expect you to rec
ollect everything I said, but I want
YOU to remember that typhoid fever
is a preventable disease and. reeollect
that when you hear somebody in
South Carolina has tuberculosis that
is a preventable disease, and when
thousands die with it, as they WILL
that tuberculosis, typhoid fever are
preventable diseases and somebody
has neglected to do their duty. And
the same thing applies to malarial
fever.
I want you ladies to bring to pass
the beautiful dream Of the French
man-that the time will come when
man will no more die from tuberculo-
sis, small pox, typhoid fever, malarial
fever, etc., than he will from the bite
Of the wild wolves Of the forest.
am going to tell the state board
of health that the ladies Of Newberry
are willing for their money to be
spent to protect the people from these
diseases.
think that the press will do some
thing in disseminating in formation to
the people.
Ladies, I thank you for the vote
you have given me here today. It is
credit to you. You have shown a
more intelligent comprehension Of the
subject than the legislature. I am
sorry to say that for the legislature.
Ladies and gentlemen I thank you for
your attention.
DR.. Houseal discussed the subject
Of malarial fever, describing the ano-
pheles mosquito, its habits and how to
get rid of it. The different kinds of
mosquitoes and what the United
States government had done by rid
ding HAVANA Of the fever. He also
spoke of how to rid the cities Of the
yellow fever mosquito and at the same
time how to rid the cities Of malarial
fever, or destroying al Of the mosqui-
toes. He said that we ought to have
law making it misdemeanor to find
wiggles on their premises.
DR.. Mayer said that the anopheles
" ma3arial mosquito did it's work at
night. He also discussed tuberculosis
md said it was not hereditary, and
that it was contracted by the spittle
in, the house, where the sunlight could
not get to it. That when you spit on
the streets the sunlight will kill the
disease germ in three minutes. That
sunlight was a great germ destroyer.
Fa said that people should not put
blinds to their houses, that especially
patients with consumption should
! have sunshine.
DR.. Kbler spoke on the education
of the public up to the Importance Of
sanitary rules. There was great op-
osition to this even among the most
intelligent people.
They then passed some resolutions.
DR.. Mayer offered resolution that

dorse the effort to establish hospi-
tai in the city Of Newberry, which
