at 12:01 o'clock this morning. Early
last night police visited each of the

Higgins law would become effective at
midnight and would be strictly en-

eral hundred places affected. Royal,
notorious gambling street for more
than a century, was dark except for
the lights from one or two all night
restaurants, and Ibcrvile Street, long
the haunt of the gambling clubs, went
completely dark.
The Higgins act makes it illegal 20
gamble at any game with cards where
stakes result to the benefit of any one
other than the players. This eliminates
the kitty" the main source Of revenue
for the gambling clubs. The clubs
closed were known as "chartered
clubs" The notice did not 60 to the
