Gambling Tabooed
in Spain After Mar. /

Madrid. Feb. 2s--G M b in 2
throughout Spain will be suppressed
from March I. according to orders is
sued by flie minister of the interior,
The legal code forbids all gambling,
but permission has been granted
widely to clubs in this manner to root
out the prevalent mendicancy IN the
streets.
The authorities find that the con-
tributjons OF the. gambling clugs are
not Sufficiently generous TO supply the
needs OF the poor. and OF late bcggars
have increased in numbers, instead
Of diminishing. The minister has
therefore decided to put the law in
force and suspend gambling until the
Cortes has had an opportunity OF
amending legislation providing for
efficacious control of contributions.

.Debs Disciplined
for Criticism
of President

"o1HiH6ecH, Gu Io-- lS1tfnS and
mail privileges of Eugene V. Debs in
the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ca, were temporarily suspended as
la disciplinary measure because of an
interview he gave to the press in
which the President of the United
States was attacked. D. S. Dickerson,
chief of the division of prisons of the
Department of Justice said today.
Suspension Of these privileges for
infraction of rules is not unusual, Mr..
Dickerson declared. and in Debs
case it probably will be lifted with
in a week.
Debs is serving ten years SEN
tence for violation of the espionage
laws and President Wilson has twice
refused to commute his sentence or
grant a pardon.
When the attention of White House
officials was called today to reports
that Debs was being held fncommuni-
cado they said they had not known
of 1t before and that an Investigation
would be made.
Mr.. Dickerson said that during. the
political campaign last fall the De-
partment of Justice felt that since
Debs was candidate for President
he should be allowed to make known
the principles of the Socialist party
through authorized interviews. Press
representatives who interviewed him
MIR. Dickerson continued, were re-
quested to eliminate all seditious OF
inflammatory utterances. This con-
fidence he added, was at no time
abused. .a
suspension of Debs' privileges, was
given to an attorney who had called
upon him on a pretext of business.
Mr.. Dickerson continued, adding that
Debs knowingly violated the rules of
the prison in giving it.
Mr.. Dickerson assumed responsible
ty for the order, which he said, was
a routine matter before the division
of prisons and did not require the at
teption of the attorney general.
Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 23-Samuel W.
Castleton. counsel for Eugene "
Debs, who is serving a ten-year SEN
tence in the Atlanta federal prison
stated today he had not been per
mitted to communicate with Debs
since he gave out an interview criti-
Ching President Wilson three weeks
ago.
"The only time ] have seen Mr.
Debs," said Castleton, was ON Mon
day when 1 met him accidentally
in corridor of the prison. We
shook hands and embraced. but a
guard tried to prevent that
Mr.. Castleton said he had been in.
formed that Debs' wife, who lives in
Indiana, has not had q letter from
the prisoner for two weeks.
Mr.. Castleton denied that Deb.
had knowingly violated the prison
rules in giving out that statement
criticizing the President.
II had gone to the prison in com.
pany with a newspaperman expect.
ing to get a signed statement from
Mr. Debs ON Mr.. Wilson's failure Il
act favorable on his release from
prison. said Castleton. after W.
We're lin the interview rooms. Debs
said it was impossible for him t.
give signed statement but he woulc
discuss the matter Informally there
in the presence Of guard and ".
could gather the material for oul
interview. That was done and
later issued the interview"

President Wilson had in mind both the commercial and naval advantage in the control of Yap when he raised the question at the peace conference of excepting this tiny island from the blanket mandate giving Japan control of all of the German islands north of the equator.
 There was supposed to have been gentlemen's agreement as to Tap by which the United States would have at least equal rights there with Japan.
 But it wasn't so provided in the treaty, and the Class C mandate which Japan now has over the island gives her virtual ownership and absolute control.
 Whether the delegates to the confer ence have come back with more con ciliatory instructions from their gov ernments than they had at last falls session remains to be seen. It is quite possible that their policy will be one of stalling until the new administration comes into power, In the hope that it will be satisfied with the status quo-

 MT. Mott is a tall, vital looking man, with flashing brown eyes and the forceful face of the man who does big things. Though he declares he is here for a rest he shows no marks of the arduous work he has been doing-in fact, he looks fit enough to srping into the center of activities and do more than a mans share of any kind of work which might come to hand. But he has the natural longing of a man who has been in public life to get away from the strain of meeting and talking to people for a little while away to some quiet place where he can just enjoy the companionship of his charming wife. Reservations have been made for them at the Castle Hot Springs. where they expect to spend several days in restful seclusion.

 Among the relatives to come to Phoenix for the wedding were MT. and Mrs. Amos Dye of Los Angeles and William De Jong of Grand Rapids.
 MT. and Mrs. Ford left last evening for Los Angeles, their first stopping place. on a honeymoon trip that will take them to a number of places of interest, including Palm Beach and other southern points. They plan to take up their permanent residence in Chicago.
 The regret in connection with the marriage is the fact that it has taken from Phoenix one of it's most popular voune. women. Mrs. Ford has lived in this city since small child and has a legion of friends by whom she will be missed She is exceptionally pretty and has q pleasing personality.
