Tribune and Daily News Open Drive, Giving Names, Phone Numbers And Other Alleged Facts-Tell Of Pep Meetings"

Chicago, March 26.-tPl-A two ply newspaper attack upon the city administration handling of gam bling and bootlegger operations in Chicago had produced disputed re- suits today.
 Both the Tribune and the Daily News have charged that wide open gambling has been permitted since William Hale Thompson became mayor. The Tribune on Saturday ran a list of more than 200 places where it said games Of chance were kept,
 Following publication Of the list police launched d new drive against gamblers, especially i'll the down town section, using the aN on much equipment confiscated. Last night, the police said, most of the gambling places were closed. most of them barring their doors following publi- cation of the Tribune list,

 picture of gambling conditions.
 "I don't believe gambling is as widespread a s the papers would have us believe" the commissioner said. "Certainly there is gambling in Chicago. There always will be a cer- tain amount of it. Every thing in life is q gamble.
 '1t is absurd to ask the police, needing S,00O more men as We do. to put an absolute stop to gambling. So far as l know, there is no open and notorious gambling: by that ] mean there are no rnnners hauling in patrons from the street. That's q wild tale"
 Gives Names
 The Daily News published an ac- powered" syndicate of alcohol and whiskey makers, giving names, places and telephone numbers. It detailed the method of manufac- ture. sale and distribution. The weekly sales of q high pressure" sales crew Of 50 men was fixed in the News account at $40,o00
 Pep Meetings
 At frequent intervals, according to the newspaper, the salnsmen are called to headquarters for a "pep meeting" and in such cases the ex- pression "Check your guns at the door, is literally adopted. A row of nails behind a bar at headquarters, the paper said, is used by the sales men as the place for checking" just as they are leaving.

Probable Weather

New York, March 26 (AP) The three German aviators in the n,onoplane Bremen will meet conditions very similar to those into which Captain Hinchliffe disappeared if they attempt a transatlantic flight at this season, Dr. James H. kimball of the United States weather bureau said today.
 "They will encounter the same low clouds and below freezing temperatures that Captain Hinchliffe faced,' said the unofficial starter of all the transatlantic flights from America. A temperature of 30 degrees was reported from the Grand Banks last night, 26 de- grees from St. Johns and 28 degrees from Cape Race this morning.
 "While We know of no fierce storms on the Atlantic at the present, if the start is made tomorrow the tliers would en- counter. probably somewhere between Newfoundland and New York. the disturbance which today is in the Missis- sippi valley.
 Even if the Germans take a course 300 miles south of the Great Circle they will be north of most of the steamer lanes and will pass into the danger zone of low fogs over the Banks"
 Dr. kimball said that he had not been requested to furnish weather advice for the flight.

of the irrigation

MEMBERS of the irrigation
Av1 committee of the Commercial
club feel that their efforts during
the past year have borne splendid
results. Advancing the construc-
ton date on the high line canal
three years is considered an ac-
complishment well worth the time
and money that have been spent
on the effort. While a little more
definite and immediate returns
were sought, nevertheless the pros
pect has been so greatly brighten
ed that changed feeling is evil
dent everywhere. Even the Prosser
folks are beginning to see the
light and are offering to get be-
hind any effort made to secure
further reclamation in the Yakima
valley. Given a good crop this
year, and every indication points
to one, with the assurance that
the high line canal will start the
following year and this section of
the state will get back into the
stride that will get us somewhere.
Watch us go!

1T HAS been a long time since a

club had last week was pulled off
in Kennewick. Too long, in fact,
judging from the very favorable
reports that have been heard since
the occasion. Mrs. A. F. Brown,
president of the woman's organic
alton, said that the club considered
itself an auxiliary of the CONNER
cial club and would consider it a
privilege to be allowed to work
with that organization in attempt
ing to accomplish the things for
which the community was striving.
Perhaps this angle of the relation
ship had not received the attention
previously that it might have. At
any rate, the party was a fine idea
and certainly affairs of the sort
should occur oftener.
