POKER HOUSES IN
JUAREZ SUSPEND
Sports Say Touche Did It,
and Result Is Keno or
Nothing.

Poker is no longer good form IN Ciudad
Juarez. This rule of civic etiquet was
promulgated by some one, presumably
the police officials, and the three socalled
poker clubs have SUSPENDED operations,
the kitty is licking its chops In abject
hunger, and three poker dealers are
looking for honest toll
No reason was given for closing the
poker games but the sports who prefer
the American game to the more scien-
tific one OF 'keno,k who has the
right number" say that the presence of
Touche, the Turk, in Juarez after the
close of the gambling fiesta, has its
meaning. -FOuche believes in Juarez as a
gambling center, the wise boys say.
Touche likewise stands In with the
powers that be- Touehe never deals a
small game but prefers a gaming trust.
This, the sports and almost sports say,
is the explanation of the suspension OF
poker playing In the Mexican metropolis
TOueRe Is to have a little gambling
trust all of his own to include all forms
of games except keno, the privilege for
which has already been distributed where
II viii do the most good. This is the
way the cards run according to the pikers
around the table. Whatever the reason
for the move, the poker games are "de
trop" and it is now keno or nothing
across the river.

SECOND WAR SCARE
FAILS TO BRIGHTEN

Another war scare blew up over the
west mesa shortly after noon Thurs
day A detachment of Mexican troops
are said to have marched out from
Juarez over the ridge of the mesa on
the Mexican side opposite the smelter.
This gave rise to the report that a
band Of insurrectos were opposite the
smeiter and a battle was expected
Thursday afternoon. But the experience
of Christmas day, when the famous
battle OF "Burros NADIA mas" was
fought on the Mexican foothills, caus-
ed the battle report to be taken with
a dry grin Of doubt down town and
there were no roof garden parties re-
sulting from the report.

CHIEF RETURNS
REWARD MONEY
Won't Fool With Conflicting
Claims Silberberg's
Statement.

Concerning the recovering Of dia-
monds and money Of Mr.. Cummings,
Abe SiIberberg said today: THE Mexi-
can came into my store TO buy pock-
etbook and I showed him one for $4-75.
He wanted TO buy it and gave me a
$500 bill. This at once excited my
suspicious and I questioned him re-
garding himself and where he got his
money and he said that he came from
Kansas and was going back to Mexico
because it was cold. sent our boy,
Y. Gonzales, across the street TO the
Rio Grande Valley Dank TO get the
change, and when the boy got there,
William E. O'Brien, the cashier, said II
might be the stolen money belonging
to Mr.. Cummings and told the boy to
come back and notify me, and ask me
to hold the man as long as / could,
until the police could get there. L did
this by making the wrong change three
different times. BY that time the po-
lice had arrived, and I gave them the
tip. as the Mexican left the store and
they arrested him. If any reward was
to have been paid three of us were con-
cerned in it-Mr. OBrien, the boy and
myself. Between the three of US, we
caught the man and turned him over
to the police. I told them at the time
that I did not want any Of the money
and said that if there was anything
for my boy, 1 would like to see him
get what was coming to him. I had no
avaricious or Inercenary motives in the
natter
Robert SiIberberg said: 81 do not
think anybody was entitled to any re-
ward. The police did only their duty,
what they are paid for; the business
men concerned did only their duty as
citizens. The money has been recovered
and Mr.. Cummings has it again If he
feels that he would like to show his APP
probation, he should turn over any
amount that he deems right, to some
committee of business men or some
charity organization to be distributed
in the interests of charity"
Chief of police Ben jenkins this
morning returned all the reward money
to Mr.. Cummings. declaring he would
have nothing more to do with it, in
asmuch as conflicting claims had
arisen.
