NEW MONTE CARLO IN CUBA7
Possibility That WorId-Famous Conn
bling Establishment May Be
Located on the Island.

"rhe greatest gambling center in
the world will be located in the west
ern hemisphere if plans for palaces
in Cuba develop as given OUT said
Walter p. Harris of HAVANA. Cuba
is already beset with the gambling
fever and fortunes change hands
there almost every day.
"Since the announcement of the
prince of Monaco that he is prepar-
ing TO close Monte Carlo, there have
been extensive preparations for the
establishment of great gambling pal
aces designed to attract the sporting
element that now visits Monte Carlo
to the Pearl of the Antilles Several
villages have been surveyed with the
view of locating this gambling cen
ter, but so far no definite decision has
been reached.
Gambling is already tlourishing in
Havana. The Casino de la Playa is a
great garish temple of roulette, where
wonderful dinners are served at less
than cost. The profit to the house
comes from the wheel. The men who
take women to the Casino for dinner
invariably back them at the wheel.
1.-The moratorium now in effect on
the island has not affected the crowds
at the Casino, because they are most
ly composed of tourists, and the Wis
itor is treated to the sight of a coun-
try, apparently bankrupt but gambling
madly, where fortunes change hands
overnight and the beggar of today
may be the rich man of tomorrow
