Are the Gamblers
Moping to Mem Ouarfers2

The question IS being asked II all
the gamblers are moving their loca-
lions, and II so why they select the
dark hours Of the night for making
their moves.
Recently the removal Of furniture
from one suspected place TO some
other locality Of the city has been
noted. II the places were being closed
definitely and the furniture stored
II IS not believed that the owners
would choose the darkness for the
task Of moving.
One movement OF furniture that
was made this week occurred at 4.45
o'clock in the morning. The furniture
was taken from a place IN the one
hundred block on Texas street to a
basement in the three hundred block
on East San Antonio street The
task Of removing Il was completed at
6-55 in the morning, Just in time to
OF early morning workers. A truck
bearing license number s7Asg4 did
the moving. superintended by a young
man in a Ford car bearing license
number 410,35L The truck belongs to
a well known transfer concern and
the young man IS one OF the execut-
i've officials The Herald could give
the name, also the exact numbers Of
the house from which the stuff was
taken and the basement In which II
was put, but that IS not necessary.
This is just printed to let the
gamblers know that tab Is being kept
on their movements, and that the
public may know that the evil does
not appear to be permanently stamped
out

covery Of the murder Of Jose Martinez
IN the south canal Thursday after
noon. They also are seeking I. Abo-
gado, merchant, but they say Abo-
gada has disappeared and is now far

The announcement OF the police
that Abogado was wanted in connec-

as he was in comfortable circum-
stances and the police had worked on
theory OF robbery as the motive
Now they are trying to discover an
other possible reason for the crime.
Martinez disappeared Tuesday from
his work, being employed as a driver
and collector for the Tropical Coffee
company. At the time he had 500 in
his possession Thursday his body
was found in the canal. the hands
and feet tied with wire and the head
beaten to a pulp.
The authorities say Lozano has re-
fused to make any statement which
might connect him with the killing.
