TUCSON MAYOR |S CLEANING UP
 TOWN

Following up his declared intention of cleaning up the city, of bootleg gers, gamblers, and other classes of undesirables, Mayor O. c. Parker headed a posse of city and county officers in an informal raid last night on five alleged disorderly houses in town, and three gambling dens in the Chinese quarter
 Only one arrest resulted from the eight raids, that of Maria Flores, who will have to face Recorder Cow an Monday on a charge of conducting disorderly house. Inmates of the other places were allowed their free dom upon promising to be good in the future.
 | Mayor Parker explained that the purpose of the raids was not to make arrests, but to impress Violators of the laws with the fact that they are i being watched, and that at the first attempt at bootlegging or disorderly conduct they will be arrested, and if convicted may expect the full penalty of the law.
 We are going to show all unde- sirable characters that we mean busi- ness, and frighten them so thorough ly that they will either become de cent citizens or leave the city," said Mayor Parker.
 The places visited by the officers were 136, IA and 146 West Broad way, and two adobe houses on South i Convent street near the Drachman school, besides the three Chinese gambling places.
 Mayor Parker headed the officers at each place, and told the inmates what would happen to them unless they behaved The officers were Deputy Sheriffs Frank Bailey, who is Mayor Parker's choice as Tucson's new chief of police; Sid Simpson, M McCabe and Cy Broome; Police Cap tains Tony O'Donnell and J. CamachC and Detective s. R. Andrews, who has been working up evidence for the mayors clean up campaign. In each of the Chinese places wis tied, the posse found number ot Chinese openly gambling, with mon ey on the table. No white men were present.
 i The Chinese frankly admitted they were gambling, but said they had paid the. police money for the priv ilege on February 1, and were uni aware that they were violating the law. They promised the mayor that there would be no more gambling ir 1 future.
 Women were found in all of the five other places visited. No liquor was in sight but the mayor announced his suspicion that it was being hand led in each place.
 q am here to warn you that you have got to quit violating the laws
 or go to jail,'' said the mayor iI each place. we know who you are as you can see by this visit. We mean business when we say we arc
 going to clean up this town.
 Awed by the presence of the off cers, the women and number of me1 found with them were Drofuse in theil
 promises of good conduct. No liquor was seized in any one O
 the places.
 ''The raid was an informal one, t' intimidate suspicious character: from bootlegging and other vices, said the mayor we just wante' : to let them know that we are afte them so strong it will be unhealth, for any of them to make single Il , legal move."

tain that he will act, and act prompt
