Real Estate Men 0yerrun with AppIi.
cations Chickasha is Growing

If anybody imagined that there
would be surplus Of houses after
the Rock Island Office force moved

greater and real estate men are un-
able to supply the families who are
constantly coming in.
A prominent real estate man said
this morning, Every day I have
calls for from fifteen to twenty
houses, and no sooner is it known that
house is to be vacated, than a half
dozen people or more apply for it
Everything indicates that the popu-
lation Of the city is growing gradu-
ally and rapidly"

Alexandria. Va. April 2.-With the
usual large Sunday crowd OF patrons on
hand, the alleged gambling concern which
is conducted on the Ark" anchored in
Maryland waters. near Jones Point. just
south of this city. kept up thriving bus
mess to-day until late in the evening.
About 800 people came down from Wash
ington in the course Of the day and We're
transported to the houseboat on the little
steamer Bartholdi which has wharfage
at the foot of King street.
SO far as IS known by the local police,
no open move has yet been made by the
authorities Of Prince George County. Nd,
with a view OF breaking up the resort. 1t
was nearly a month ago that Mayor Paff.
in formal communication, called the at
tention of Gov Warfield TO the existence
Of the place. with the request that meas
ures be taken to stop the gambling said
TO be conducted openly there. Shortly
thereafter the matter was referred to the
sheriff of Prince George County, and the
mayor was informed that steps would
be taken 10 break up the gambling den"
Il is said that the business conducted on
the ark has not been interfered with
in any way since then. The knowledge
that an investigation had been ordered
appears not to exercise the slightest
deterrent effect upon the patronage OF the
resort.

1t is entirely too early 10 attempt 10
tell definitely what caused the sinking. 1t

in this city very uncertain for either
