New Law in Nevada Puts

| After today, all the gambling para.

junk. by act of the state legislature.
In other words. Nevada has put the
ban on gambling OF all kinds and
varieties and the new law will be I'm

hold OF the gambling clans IL lost to
them, and nought Is left for the sporty
Nevada but to get drunk or di-
lvorccsg.
when the Johnon-Jeffries argument
or last July attracted thousands OF
visitors to Reno, the town was wide

Ilplaoes sought to separate the credu-
lous tenderfeet from their cash. That
Loccasion was the last great saturn
ALA OF public gambling this country
will ever witness. since Nevada Is the

permit gambling under sufferance OF

specthble. Reno's great white way,
the most brilliant OF it's size I'm the
world Will become a thing of the past
without the assistance OF the myriad
lights which streamed all night from
doors and windows OF the gambling

with the last great fling at licensed

their sins. Some OF the latter con.

new law will be repealed and the

but there is small chance that such a

Under the old system OF licensed
gambling the city realized vast sums
from the nourishlng industry. The
keeper Of n gambling resort had TO

year and monthly toll OF SIS for
each game, poker excepted, on each

proud boast OF Reno "sports' that the
