Both the ferry and international

places in Matamoros are closed in con-
formity with the decree recently is
sued by President Obregon, A. A. Lau-
rents. manager of the Brownsville Fer
ry Company, stated this morning. anc
no traffic Of any kind will be permitted
This is o'clock Mexican time, or Z
o'clock American time. This action is
being taken. Mr.. Laurents said. on in
xtruct;ons from the federal government
to immigration authorities along tn,
border as means OF stopping the gam
bling in border cities. Ten days ago the
government issued n decree that mayors
of towns and cities on the border must
close down the gambling halls in those
cities within ten days.
The alternative, in case the mayors
did not close the gambling halls. was
that all bridges and ferries into Mexico
be closed at 6 o'clock each night in or
der that the gambling halls cannot af-
ford TO operate on account of the heavy
licenses.
Ready to Enforce Decree
immigration Inspector in Charge, An
dres Ccdillo. said this morning that il
he received no further instructions. the
ferry on the Mexican side, as well as
the bridge would be closed at o'clock
tomorrow night, Mexican time. He de-
clared that he had received instructions
to do this in case the gambling halls
were not closed. and that he will take
this action ans>ss assured before to-
morrow night that the gaming houses
will not operate.
immigration officers here said this
morning that they had received no off
cial Information IN regard TO the clos
ing. but declared that they would be
notified in case the hours are changed
to exclude night traffic TO Mexico.
Immediate action is expected on the
part of the gambling house proprietors
as most of these houses are run in con-
nection with saloons and the closing
down of the ferry and bridge at night
would hurt the trade of the saloons. II
will be known definitely by tomorrow
morning whether or not the bridge and
ferry will be closed.
A dispatch from Mexico City received
in Matamoros. says the decree is gener-
al. and that II will be put in effect the
entire length OF the Mexican bor-ler.
This will effect Piedras Negras, Nueva
Laredo. Juarez and score of other
border cities and towns.
