NAUGHTY CUBA To

j, 6. CHURCHMEN

New York, Dec 10.-A campaign
to prevent Cuba from becoming the
Monte Carlo of the western world and
the oasis of the North American Sa-
hara" was launched today by the
Inter-church Movement of North
America.
There is very definite attempt
being made" said DR.. Inman, TO
make Cuba, particularly Havana, the
Monte Carlo of the western world.
The winter season in Cuba generally
is gay, but this year efforts will be
made to add new attractions Horse
racing and other forms of gambling
and worse will be in full blast.
LAS Christians we cannot get away
from our duty to intervene"
DR.. Inman said SO. 600 Americans
had applied to the state department
for passports to Cuba for the winter
season and that by January i the
number would exceed 100000.
Denial that the island was becom-
| ing a Monte Carlo was made today by
| Leopold Dolse, Cuban consul general
at New York. He said there were nc
plans on foot to legalize roulette OF
other games that feature Monte Carlo
"Racing is attracting many Ameri-
cans to Havana this season as usual,
he said There is betting on tht
horses, as there is in New York city
with this difference. In Cuba thu
government protects the bettors; il
New York the man who wins has NJ
redress If the person with whom HI
laid wager fails to pay. And it Il
legal in Cuba for one to buy cock

the last shot dropped to the earth.
He had reached the point in the alley

The crowd which gathered in Ok

made up for Saturday.
Judge Crum, after the grand jury
was selected, delivered a very inn
pressive charge to that body, which
was composed of the following citi-

times by Officer Tom Metts Wednes-
day afternoon at 1880, while escorting
the prisoner from the county Jail to
