a reporter for THE Sun talked this
afternoon witt one OF the best known
men in Long Beach, who manages a
very important enterprise. He said he
hasn't q doubt hat theS story of big
gambling outside the village limits Is
true. He had Seard stories Of various
big winnings and losses. The point he
made is this: Long Beach, like every
big and ambitious resort. will thrive
upon a certain amount OF gambling
which attracts the big fellows who have
money to burn and like to see the flames.
He said he had heard tie other day Of
a stud poker game In which one player
dropped $4,000 between midnight and
sunrise.
Nahan Fwnko. the musician, who Is
a property owner at Lon Beach and
who has lived there since the resort was
started. talked in about the same way.
AS matters stand, after the investiga-
ton conducted by Sheriff Petit. there
will he no raid or arrests unless Dis
trict Attorney Smith sees At to take the
matter into his own hands. Even so.
the chanccs are. according to well In
formed Long Beach residents. that the
gamblers have had such detailed warm
ing that they will be on the lookout for
urwelcome visitors.
