GAMBLING DEN RAIDED IL
HOURS AFTER BECKER DIES
Electrocution of Former Police Off
cial Clears Way for Action.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Less than 13

life for the Rosenthal murder, Lieutenant

bling squad. the so-called successors to
Beoker's strong-arm men, raided tho
Flower and Feather Social Beneht Club

ness for the State against the dead police

The "elub" was raided with axes, lad
ders and crowbars yesterday as a gam
Bling house. Dollar John" Langer, once
the close friend Of Rosenthal in the ten
derloin gambling fraternity, Is said to be
the clubs financial backer.
More than the ordinary significance of
a spectacular daylight raid attaches to
the incident because only on Thursday
Luban complained to District Attorney
Perkins Of police persecution and sought
protection for his place 'as a straight
social club"
Furthermore, II Is believed that the
police refrained from raiding the place so
long though its character was known to
every policeman on post, because OF Lu-
bans alleged protection from the State
as a Becker figure and the fear that II
the CLUB" were attacked before Beckers
death the raid would be laid to the police
"system"
That fear was removed yesterday and
the order to raid the place came direct
from Acting Police Commissioner Cooley.

OBREGON CAPTURES
SAN LUIS POTOSI
Villas Retreat Seriously
Threatened - Reoccupation
of Capital by Carranza Seems
Certain.

WASHINGTON. July 31--The capture
Of San Luis Potosi by General obrogon's
forces and the continued occupation by
him of Zacatecas were reported to the
State Department today, Secretary Lam
sing announced.
The occupation OF San Luis Potosi was
viewed as conclusive evidence that COM.
municatlon between Vera Cruz and
the forces Of General Obregon had been
re-establlshed. AT the same time II APP
peared to indicate that Villas dying
column" OF cavalry, which during the
past month had occupied the territory
south OF San Luis Potosi, almost to the
gates Of Mexico City had been cut off
from an easy retreat northward. Villas
forces apparently will be compelled to
make their way eastward into the north
ern edge Of the State OF Vera Cruz or TO
cut through Obregon's lines in the hope
of escaping to Saltillo.
General Carranza cabled his agency
here confirmation of obregon's successes
and Gonzales victory at Pachuca. His
message added that Gonzales Shortly
will reoccupy the capital" and that
Obregon occupied zaeatecas without O
fight.
The agency also announced that Gem
eral Gonzales ordered shot one lieutenant,
one corporal and two privates charged
with looting. The reports from Vera
Cruz, alleged to have been sent by
Consul Canada, that hundreds OF Ameri-
cans had complain ed OF robbery ana
destruction of property were denounced
as false. Large quantities Of military
supplies are being shipped by water TO
Tampieo for transshipment by rail 10
obregon's headquarters between Aguas
Calientes and Zacatecas. This. It was
stated, explains the recent loading of
transports at Vera Cruz.
