ing Daroux's wishes in the matter. 1t
is probable, however, that they will
await developments, as it will be i'm
practicable for only part of them to
attempt to resume business. They had
planned to operate on a more secretive
scale than formerly taking wagers

of conviction in case Of arrest.
Daroux was active in opposing the
passage of the Walker-Otis bill at
Sacramento After the measure had
been enacted he declared his intention
of keeping his poolrooms at Sausalito
closed until the law should have been
sufficiently nullified by court decisions
to enable its successful circumvention.
1t has heretofore been customary to
open the Sausalito poolrooms immedi-
ately at the close of the Emeryville

no preparations toward reopening in
