NO MORE GAMBLING
Mexican Edict To Close All Gaming
Houses on Border.

San Benito. Tex, April 16.-Gamb-
ling houses in all border cities will
be closed within ten days, according
TO instructions sent out by the gov
eminent of Mexico. A telegram re-
ceived by Mexican Consul S. Barrera
Guerra, Of Brownsville, brought news
of the decision.
Instructions have. been sent to
members of the immigration service
of all border cities TO the effect that
the municipal presidents or mayors
of such cities must close down all
gambling houses within the city in
ten DAYS.
Teeth have been put into the decree
this time. and the government has
given the immigration officials a
method of enforcement in case the
mayors or municipal heads do not.
The immigration authorities Gre in
structed that in case the gambling
halls are not closed all persons will
be prohibited from entering Mexico
at night.
The last clause makes Il possible
for the immigration officials TO ruin
the business of the gambling halls in
case they do not close down and the
owners viii probably have to close
down anyway as they will not be able
TO pay the state and city licenses on
the gambling houses.
