ANCIENT Ruins
BAFFLE MEXICO
Izmul Must Have Had Popula=
ton of Fully $4,000 in
Its Time

The ancient ruins of cities through
out the present known territory of
Quintana Roo, Yucatan, are positive
indications of the existence of a large
and prosperous population before or
since the time of the Spanish conquest,
of which there are no other traces left.
Izmul. one of these abandoned cities,
has in its immediate vicinity the ruins
of prehistoric structures, some of them
of enormous size and beautifully
sculptured. Judging from present in
dications, the ancient town must have
housed at least $4,000 people. There is
not even a trace of a civilized being to
be found anywhere within 100 miles
from there.
This region was very thickly settled
at some time, that its inhabitants were
highly civilized, as is proved by their
architecture, and the country must
have produced something not known at
the present time. The destruction and
abandonment visible at every hand
was doubtlessly due to the internecine
wars among the natives themselves.
A noteworthy instance of the in
telligence and civilization of the peo-
pie at some time remote is clearly dem
onstrated by an artificial waterway
constructed by them. Reference is
made to what is now known as the
Rio Xix. This is an artificial canal
connecting the Bahia de Chetumal with
the Bahia de la Ascencion. by way of
the Bahia de Esperitu Santo. Unde-
niable traces of the embankments, con-
structer of coral rock and of the
watch towers along it's length are
plainly seen. The engineering skill as
shown in this work was of a high or
der, as the construction of this canal
reduced the distance between the ex-
treme points mentioned from 300 miles
on sa to so miles by canal, and at the
same time avoided the dangers attend
ing coastwise navigation in those days.

Bucket Shop Operators
Head for San Francisco
Final Battle Against Gambling Places Will
Be Waged In This City

happens. nevertheless, that this infor-
nation is supplied over the wires.
The part that the big telegraph COM
panies have taken in supplying wire
quotations to the local bucket shops IS
at present the subject of federal
inquiry. 1t is known that practically
only one local bucket broker gets the
figures from New York. From this
place in lower Montgomery street they
are telephoned to the other shops
about the city. There is a close con-
nection and a well understood work
ing agreement among all engaged IN
this line in San Francisco.
The crookedness of the bucket shops
has been so thoroughly proved that IN
nearly every American community to-
day they are outlawed. In San Fran
cisco they still remain. No one has
more clearly demonstrated the fraud
ulent features of these places than
John Hill Jr., an attorney of Chicago,
who has spent a good part of his lie
in exposing and prosecuting CONNER
cial pirates OF the bucket shop, Hill
says:
There is no room for doubt as to
the character of the bucket shop. 1t
is a gambling den and nothing else
1t is generally a dishonest gambling
den, for there are few, if any, bucket
shops whose frequenters have fair
treatment. The patron puts his money
into sthe pretended purchase or sale OF
stocks, grain or other commodities, al
prices posted on the blackboard, which
are, or purport to be, the figures at
which securities or commodities are
selling on the floor of the stock or pro-
duce exchanges. He bets that the price
viii vary in his favor before it will go
one point against him. But almost
invariably the quotations are manipu-
lated or held back long enough to make
him place his bet at a disadvantage
and when the price of the article on
which his bet has been made approaches
the figure at which his trade will
freeze out and his stake be confiS-
Gated it is customary for the bucket
shop to use every agency it can COM
mand to force the market in that di-
rection sufficiently to make him lose.
The elimination of the bucket shop
is demanded by Hill as measure OF
common decency. He writes:
"As a matter of fact, all forms OF
gambling or swindling are common
place and comparatively innocent when
compared to the satanic bucket shop
which has caused more moral wrecks
more dismantled fortunes and made
more of the innocent suffer than any
other. Just why so brazen an iniquity
in the guise of speculation should be
allowed TO exist it is difficult to ex-
plain. Open gambling has been placed
under the ban of civic reform. The
policy shop, the lottery and other less
dangerous methods of swindling, have
been effectively stamped out of most
cities, yet the old bucket shop tiger
continues to sink its teeth into the
ambitions of young and old. dragging
them down to forgery, embezzlement
suicide, or, that which is quite as bad
broken spirit for legitimate endeavor
Under the circumstances, the sym
pathy of the public should be with
the movement to drive bucket shops
out of business, to close them along
with all other gambling institutions.
