GAMBLING TO Be RESUMED ACROSS
line AT MEXICALI, LATEST REPORT

Gambling in Mexieali, under re-
strictiOns imposed by the Mexican
federal governmnt, is to be rcsum-
ed June l, according to authentic
information emanating from the
border, The restrictions named are
that the gambling shall be limited
to ecarte, KlOndike and stud poker,
and that those who participate in
the games shall be members oe the
"clubs' which will operate the
gambling concessions.
George Pratt, proprietor of the
Southern Club, which formerly op-
eratd a gambling concession until
all gambling was stopped last year,
is said to have been granted IL
cense by the federal governmnt and
will resume gambling on the above
date.
The renewal of gambling privilgcs
has been bitterly opposed by Gov
ernor Rodriguez, it is said, but he
was overrulcd by his superiors in
Mexico City. from whom Pratt. oh
tanned his license. The governor was
to leave MeXicali today for Mexico
City and it is believed that one Of
the object of his visit was to regis
ter a protest against the renewal of
gambling.
The resumption Of gambling is
recognized by advocates of the
"open line" as dealing a death blow
to their hopes, and it is stated that
