asst BIG FLING IN RENO: SATAN DANCES BEFORE FIGH

(Dy United Press Leased Wire.)
RENO, June 30--This 10 Reno's
last fling. A whirling dervish
dance OF delicious wickedness. a
few days Of revelry and riot. such
as has not been seen since the
bonanza days of Comstock and
then Reno must settle down and
be respectable and decent like the
rest of the world. ].
For the coming battle between
Jeffries and johnson will be the
last great finish prize fight in
America. Within few weeks Ne
vada, the last citadel of licensed
pugambiling In America, will put
on the lid for good and all. On
Sept. 80. state statute, already
passed, prohibiting gambling of all
kinds, will go into effect. And 1t
Is tartly understood that after this
big mill of July 4, has been pulled
off, the legislature of Nevada will
put the state in line with the rest
of the commemorative of the I'm
ion on the prize fight question.
Hence the present gathering of
sporting clans presents. all the ap-
pearance of a final event, last
chance, delirious finish, q
whooping windup to go out in .
blow up. 1t is the assembling of
the sporting world Of the west in
anticipation Of the doomsday Of
the old regime. after us the
deluge" is the verdict.
Everything is wide open. when
Tex Richard of Goldfield, fight
promoter, mining adventurer and
general soldier of fortune in the
world of western sport. came back
from Frisco with the word that
Reno would take the big fight that
California rejected, Reno woke to
the fact that the last one would
be the greatest of all, and rose to
the occasion. There was a few
days of fast and furious preparat-
ion. Before the county license Of
flee closed last Saturday night.
129 new licenses for gambling
games had been taken out. Back
rooms were cleared and furnished
up.
All vacant store rooms were
snapped up, scrubbed and opened.

The green baize, the wheel and the
faro box appeared as II by magic
in every available space. A
gambling place blossomed out In
the room under the rented quar-
tiers of the Christian Science
church. This week saw at least
500 games running full blast. 1t
would appear that all the games
of pugilists and kindred sportsmen
of the western world are to be
here for the grand blow off.
They are coming in droves on
every train and for several days
Reno will be such a paradise for
that worship at the shrine of
chance as the pioneers of the
palmy days of gambling never
dreamed of. The passing Of the
old regime will be marked by at
least one incident savoring of the
golden thread of man to man 10y
atty that runs through the curious
code of morals that grew up under
such a regime.
When Tex Rockard got back
here from Frisco after his final
bout with the lawyers and polite
ian sharks, he was broke. They
had wrung him dry. He was en-
cheering a deal involving hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, but
presently he had been cleaned out.
Then IL was that his old comrade,
Jim May, proprietor of the Palace
gambling emporium In Reno, Sc
cretly threw out a life line to Tex.
He told him that one-third of the
net profits of the May gambling
palace, counting from now until
the big event is over, would go
into the pockets of Tex Rockard.
Tex and Jim were partners of old
and to Jim 1t seems nothing more
than right that he should do by
Tex as Tex would evidently do by
him In like situation. And at
that isn't boasting about his gen.
crosby.
From now until the 4th the
game will go with ever-accelerat-
ing abandon. The clink of gold
from the west and the rustic of
the long green from the east will
rise in steady crescendo until
then.

they win, and along about Septem-
Der 1, things will be looking Demo-
cratic. That will turn the tide. Re
taners and jobbers. anticipating a
Democratic victory and the promise
Of the party TO reduce the tariff, will
cease ordering goods from American
manufacturers; because they expect
10 buy goods cheaper. when foreign
made articles are shipped in free of
duty TO compete with home products.
That will curtail the volume of man
ufacture, knock the bottom out of
the market for raw material, throw
men out OF employment and reduce
hours, and disturb all values.
From that time on until election,
manufacturers. producers and arth
sans will take up the cry of "protec-
ton and prosperity: the paradox
will be made manifest that every "ul-
innate consumer" is also "a pro-
ducer", the Democratic promise to
revise the tariff viii become a
threat; and the Payne tariff will
receive an endorsement, which Il
doesn't deserve.
Thus through fear of a greater
evil. old standpatters will be return
ed to congress, and when President
Taft attempts to secure a revision OF
the tariff based on the data furn-
ished by his tariff commission, these
willy old politicians, will declare the
Payne law was popularity endorsed.
and refer to the last general election
as sufficient authority for them to
resist the efforts of the president TO
secure proper relief.
The INSURGENTS are entirely at
fault. The president forced on an
unwilling congress the corporation
tax, tariff commission, maximum and
minimum and publicity provisions;
said he was not satisfied with the tar
in schedules. but did not believe a
proper revision could be made with
out complete data on which to base
f, Il. and promised 10 urge revision
just as soon as the data was ready.
That was reasonable and rational.
The Insurgents denounced the tariff;
but they did not dare join the Demo-
Gratis in advocating further tinkering
with the schedules, and they have
furnished a platform on which the
Reactionaries stand a better chance
than they do OF securing reelection.
