With the closing Of the book
makers places, the new director an
nounced today that he had ordered
superintendent of Police Calhoun to
close all gambling !, establishments
and keep them closed. Those who
attempt to reopen will be raided.
A howl Of protest has gone up from
men who supposed they had gained
complete immunity through political
connections. To. these the news

WALL St.
Hundreds of Uniformed Men on
Duty Where Billions in
Securities Are Handled.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Wall Street
has service army of several hun
dred men, most of whom are uni
formed in West Point gray, doing
duty as messengers, watchmen and
guards.
The Federal Reserve Bank has
nearly $50 uniformed employees. The
number is likely to be increased
when the bank moves into it's own
palatial building. This semi-gov-
ornamental force is the largest priv
ate system in Wall Street.
The National City Bank and the
Guaranty Trust Company rank
among the banking institutions
with large. forces of guards and
uniformed attendants.
The Stock Exchange employees
about 400 uniformed men, but Of
these forty-two are a guard second
to none IN the district. They are
under command of Captain William
Rohrs, a retired police sergeant,
with many years of Wall Street
experience.
This guard is comprised of for
mer service men with good records.
They work in three eight-hour shifts
and, unlike most other private
guards, patrol sidewalks outside
Stock Exchange property as we'll
as guard on the inside the vaults,
clearing house and other branches
of the institution.
The guard at the offices of J. p.
Morgan & Co., is not uniformed,
nevertheless it is always on the
Job.
"Handlfng traffic in banks and
buildings and guarding securities
are, the chief reasons for private
guards" said one chief. ut is no
discredit to the regular police force
that so many private guards are
used. We collaborate with them
rather than work apart from ther1. "
Wall Street still has it's plain
clothes men detailed from police
headquarters. and their duties as
before are to keep the financial
district free from thieves.

 Although MT. Tourneur has shown his genius for portraying mental con. flice on the screen in his working out of the peculiar psychology of John Storm. played by Richard Dix, he has filled the picture with stirring action the scenes at Epson Downs on Der. by Day, the mob scene in Trafalgai Square Qor the making of which MT Tourneur by special permission of the British government turned that his toric spot into a huge motion picture set from midnight until dawn of one Iday), gorgeous banquet scene, and many clashes between the warning characters of the novel.

JACK LONDON STORY AT COLISEUM TONIGHT.

Dressing political boss for a theatre party where he flashes his grandness from prominent box, aroused considerable discussion among the all star cast in the pres entation of "The Star Rover" q Metro release of the famous Jack London story which will be shown at the Coliseum tonight and tomorrow night.
 The political bosses in real life are entirely unlike the burlesque of the stage, was the contention of most of the cast Each cited well known local politician to prove their theory that the politician today had as little distinguishing blatant peculiarities as the average citizen.
 "A political boss that didn't look unlike the average citizen would have been dubbed by the theatregoing public as fake" asserted Director Edward Sloman. "They expected to see a political boss as fat and attired in an outfit that no one but poli- tical boss would wear. He was sup posed to outrage sartorial conven- 1ionalities, but today the political boss is different"
 So, as a result of the discussion Chance Ward, who plays the part of the political boss, appears in the theatre box attired in what is de- Scribed by Director Sloman as the popular conception of the vote dealer, to the vast majority of the ballOting citizens of the country.

 'oad which now is building a cutoff
 O connect with the tunnel The ae- tual saving to the Denver k Salt Lake railroad will be the tortuous climb of g miles over the crest of the continental divide, where the Moffat road now crosses the divide above timberline at an elevation of 10.660 feet
 On the Denver X Rio Grande the distance to Salt Lake City will be shortened by 173 miles through build- ing the cutoff 10 connect with the tunnel.
 The tunnel will be GOA miles long The project consists of 6 main tunnel 20 by 16 feet in the clear and q pioneer tunnel paralleling it. Trains through the lunnel will be operated by electricity. Provision has been made so that automobiles and other traffic may pass through the tunnel in special cars. The tunnel eleya tion at the east portal is 9,190 feet, at the west 9,1oe feet.
 Sponsors of the tunnel predict that ultimately almost all of the rail roads entering Denver will use the tunnel as short cut from Denver west. Tourists who have enjoyed the trip over the continental divide on the Moffat route will mourn the fact that the coming of the tunnel will mean that the famous little station, Corona, the top O the world" will pass out of existence as railroad stop. Corona, 10660 feet above sea level now is the highest point in the world where there is a standard guage railroad. The tunnel will eli mnate the climb from Holland. whose altitude is about 5000 feet, 10 Cor ona This climb has given many a thrill 10 Eastern tourists The grade above Holland is four per cent-al- most unprecedented in railroad grades and there are many curves as the train mounts upward. lt is a land of perpetual snow. Even in the mid. de of June the train, when near the top of the divide, frequently climbs through snowdrifts higher than it's car tops.

 The tragedy cost the lives of 264 sailors. The news spread over all the world. The American nation was aroused to a pitch of frenzy, believing the Maine had been blown up by hostile Spaniards.

"The Delicious Little Devil was brought into the New York Central Theatre for a weeks run in the hot test part of the summer.

In the photodramatic version of Sir Hall Gains great novel, "The Chris tian," which comes to the Palace Theatre tonight for two days, Maur- ice Tourneur has demonstrated in no uncertain way the wisdom of the Goldwyn company in selecting him to direct the production.
