 At Once

MOBILE, Ala, May 22.--(Special Leased Wire. .)--Responsibility for any delay in the beginning of actual con struction work on port facilities on Mobile river between One and Three Mile creeks, will be shifted to the shoulders of property owners unless they agree to accept the prices fixed by the board of appraisers@and approved by the governor.

The proceeds will be used in carrying out part of the commission program pro- vided the commission has the necessary land.
 The brief statement, issued by Gen. eral William l.. Sibert, chairman en- gineer of the state docks commission, following meeting today, is as fol lows:
 ''On account of the progress made in procuring land between Three Mile and One Mile creeks for dock purposes, to- gether with the hope that the three or four pieces of land yet to be procured can be obtained without the delay due to condemnation proceedings, the state docks commission decided today to recommend to the governor the sale in the immediate future of a million dol lars worth of bonds.
 This money will be used in pro- curing the necessary land, moving the Louisville and Nashville railway and in doing other preliminary work incl dent to the project"

Mnnhattan Days And Nights
By HERBERT COREY

It doesn't interest the new genera. ton. The very location of the old Garfield place has been forgotten. Yet his million dollar faro game and the bank-busting game of solitaire he in vented, and in which the house always bet the player couldn't win, and the array of masterpieces of modern art on the wall was once as staple an article of conversation as prohibition is now x Of course, if one must play faro | there are road houses where the itcf can be taken care of, and not too far | from town But these are almost clubs. If the games are honest ont must be known to gain admission. Ii they are not honest it doesn't matter The high-rollers prefer to travel wher | they go a-gambling nowadays. An Eng 1 Iishman may suffer from high-carC suppression for months, but when ht yields he finds it pays to go to Monte Carlo. or some other official gambling establishment where the bank is sounC and they play fairly honest.
 Maybe the jazz mania has helped to down the faro box in New York. No one need be lonesome nowadays and be driven thereby to dissipation or books. Dancing palaces, restaurants theatres and movies on every corner The up-to-date girl even pretends to like a good fight now. One has. one s doubts. The enthusiasts turn pale toe easily and some of them swallow heav- fly. But they squeal approval for all that.
 L And if one must gamble there are young men in every big hotel who will register on their cuffs your ideas about racing and pugilism. If you know your man you can telephone in your bets and find the limit fixed by your own credit It is your own fault if you pick the wrong book. for the well established ones never welch.
 | Likewise there is. of course, bridge and Nah Jong. The highest water that ever flowed under a bridge was 8 few years ago, when country estate changed hands following one night of play But gains and losses of a few thousand dollars to the player are mol uncommon. even if not precisely ire auent, in certain bridge circles. While the country club ladies are attending Nah Jong schools diligently two after moons a week in order to win in thu almost nightly games. Here the stakes are not so large, but they are more widespread perhaps, than ever bef0r' l, in the history of the town.
 70 that, perhaps, there is mucl gambling here as ever. Only it is, diff ferent.

 | wThere ain't any" said his New York associate. All closed. There was game running up in the seventies not long ago. but it was stopped
 '.Raided?" asked the man from the west.
 Nope. Couldn't make enough mon- ey. People don't play faro any more. " | It seems to be fact. Of course, there are old-timers scattered around town. each of whom has deal box i and layout in his trunk in the back bedroom. If some one finds GUS toner he is always ready to deal a 1 little snap faro. Snap faro needs no | bank roll. The dealer cant lose.
 Roulette games were once, scattered | all over the city map. There was a backroom at police headquarters filled with the splintered instruments of the game. It is doubtful if one really first rate game is to be found in the city now. Wonder what New Workers do for their gambling? Human nature hasn't changed Tia Juana and Jaurez and Havana offer proof of that.
 Honest John Kelly cleaned up fifty thousand dollars this year" some one said Down in the Bermudas or Ba- hamas or some place.,
 Once upon time Honest Johns name was as well known in this town as Mayor Hylan's is now. He had a place in the forties hung about with ex- pensive paintings. The faro room, the Holy of Holies, had been wall-papered with gold leaf. It was one of the towns sights. When your country cousin came to town you took him tC see Honest Johns gold room.
 Dan McKettrick thught that Hon est Johns gold leaf might still have a 1 lure So he opened a restaurant in the old house where millions of dollars have changed hands over the faro table and the roulette layout and got gold piano and some expensive singers.
 Tt don't work" said friend. "NC one knows who Honest John Kelly k nowadays The old-timers do, of course but most of them are broke. And ( little gold-leaf sIHeared on a wall doesn' mean much to the new generation that is used to seeing gold leaf smeared or entire palaces.H
 But this is Honest Johns place ,. Greatest gambling house in town al one time. You couldn't bet 'em too high-if the cards were running Kel ly's way"
