Ex-president Diaz is said to be great
~ annoyed at the reports about himself
which come from Mexico. 1t must in
deed be rather eXasperating, especially
as he can never tell if any of the r.
ports are true. To get any reliable facts
from Mexico he probably must wait I'M
til another banished patriot joins him
from Mexico city. Possibly Huerta him
self will be along soon.

GAMBLERS GO

BEEN STARTED.

Stated Yesterday That They Snail
Not Operate Here.

Ply the action OF Prosecutor Addle-
man and Mayor n. l.. Kirk IN clean
ing up the gambling houses in Wheel
ing. they have practically cleared up
all gambling in this vicinity. II is
now reported that the gamblers have
removed their headquarters 10 Bridge
port. but this town in itself Is TOO
small to support houses OF this kind.
and few people will go from this city
across the river 10 donate their money
To any crooked dice game or other
frame-up.
Again, II is a question whether or
not the administration of the village
OF Bridgeport will tolerate sucn
houses. although the gamblers moved
to that city when the last grand jury
was in session here.
Mayor Kirk has promised that II
the gambling evil was ever wiped out
in this city he would make II his duty
10 sec that II was kept out, and yes
terday he stated he would enforce mis-
promise. Prosecutor Addleman also
declared yesterday that gambling will
not again be- tolerated in Wheeling 20
long as he occupies his present Office.
In view OF tho fact that the gamblers
have left the city, IL Is probable that
no indictments will be returned
against them when the September
grand jury COnvcUcs and II is nearly
q certainty that they will not return
after the session OF tho grand jur'. ;
the prosecutor really has their goat. -
