EARLY PORT CLOSING

Many Americans Caught
When Matamoros Bridge
Closed Monday.

Brownsville. Tex, April 5.-The
bright lights no longer shine in Mata-
mOros. The order from Mexico City
to close all border ports at s o'clock,
which went into effect Monday night,
has practically prohibited Americans
from agailing themselves of the joys
of Mexican night life and has brought
disaster to the gaming houses and
saloons. The protests from the Mex
lean side of the river are vociferous,
and numerous petitions of varying
length are being sent to the central
government.
Federal officials state they have no
idea how long the ban will be in force.
but predict that it will not be raised
until every gambling place on the
Mexican border. from Calexico to
Brownsville. is closed.
An order was recently promulgated
by the governor of Tamaulipas to
close gambling places in all border
towns within that state. but the order
was completely ignored at both Ma
tamoros and Nuev0 Laredo, Mexican
federal officials state, and the GEN.
trail government deems it necessary
to again take drastic action.
The order to close the port was re-
ceivcd in Matamoros about Z o'clock
Monday evening, and as no .opportun-
ity was given to serve notice of the
order. scores of Brownsville and Mata-
moros citizens were caught on the
wrong" side of the Rio Grande and
were compelled to wait until morning
before crossing.
