SMASH SLOT
MACHINE RING.
POLICE ED|CT
City-Wide Cleanup at Once
Is Order Given by
Major Fletcher.
CHILD GAMBLING FLAYED
County, State to Join Fight
to Rid City of Trick
Pool Operators.

Battle waged in indianapolis to-
day between the gambling element
and the police.
On one side ranged the members
Of the police department, with I'M
yielding orders from Major Herbert
Fletcher, acting chief, to bring in
every slot machine and It's oper-
ator."
On the other was more than a
dozen agents Of slot machine pro-
motors who are out sporting"
places in which to install the de-
vices.
Never before in indianapolis has
such an open conflict ragged.
Operators Of the machines are
gambling heavily on summer sea-
son business in drug stores, res
taurants, roadhouses, social clubs
and booze joints.
Pharmacy owners in the city
however. declare that few drug
stores now allow operation of slot
machines, probably 10 per cent or
less of such stores tolerating this
form of gambling.
Children Are Gambling
Fletcher's orders followed reyeIa-
ton by The Times that children
have been playing machines in
stores and other places where chill
dren gather during vacation periods.
Fletcher said every machine found
will be confiscated and an effort
made to convict either the owner
or operator.
Il shall enforce the law abso-
lutely," he said. "Out will go the
machines and in will come the oper-
ators. I've been able to endure the
sight Of a grown man playing one
OF them before I arrested him and
took the machine, but I will not
tolerate children working them.
"Of all the things in the world
that makes me mad, it is to have
children learning to gamble by
operating these machines. I'll do
all ] can to stop the practice"
Many In Booze Joints
Police officers will find that prac-
ideally every booze joint in Indian
apolis Is equipped with one or more
of the machines. After a few
drinks it isn't much trouble for the
owner Of the place to persuade his
customers to drop a few quarters.
Generally, though, it isn't necessary
TO fan the gambling desires of most
OF the customers.
The spoilers" now at work in
the city are paid a commission for
finding good" locations for the ma
chimes. In the slot machine bust
ness it counts just as much to have
willing spenders-and many of them
enter the store in which the device
Is located-as it does for legitimate
business house to have a heavily
traf1cked store location.
Devices Can't Be Beaten
Majority of the players of the
devices have learned-to their dis
may-that the machines are like the
horses to the amateur: They can't
be beaten.
In addition, players face the same
trickery by operators that many sub
scribers to pool do-the owner or
agent gets 'thief's cut"
For years, it has been the prac-
tice of the operators who are near
to watch their customers slip nick
els, quarters or dimes in the coin
slot, to. jiggle the machinery and
drop coin about the time the jack
pot is due. They get the mony, not
the contributor.
With the opening shot fired by
Fletcher. it is expected state and
county authorities will line up in
the fight against the money-grab-
bing devices.

PLAN TO PROMOTE
SAFER MOTORING
Memberships in Safety League
Being Sought to Reduce
Accident Toll

Belief that safer motoring will i'm
prove business by reducing tire ire
mendous toll of life and money taken
annually by automobile accidents was
expressed Tuesday by Ray Stair Of
the Stair Motor company, which is
sponsoring the Silverton Safety
League in Bismarck.
The object of the league, which is
not a commercial organization. Is IT,
teach the principles Of safety In mo-
toring and induce automobile drivers
to practice them.
These nine principles are:
To drive at speeds In keeping
with the safety Of others as well
as myself.
To keep on the right side Of
the road. except when passing.
TO pass only when I know there
is ample time and space-nevcr
on blind curves or when nearing
the crest of hill.
To go through intersections
only when I have the right Of
way.
To observe all traffic signs.
TO give signals myself that can
be clearly seen and understood,
before turning OF stopping. in
traffic.
To drive only when in full pos
session Of my faculties.
TO keep my brakes, lights. and
horn in good condition. y
To operate my car on tires :
which assure q positive grip on
the road - safe traction = and
freedom from hazardous tire
Persons joining tho league subscribe
to these principles and agree to OBJ
serve them in daily practice, Stair
said, and il enough drivers Who are
really interested In safety observe the
rules the result should be to mattel
tally reduce the number Of accidents
throughout the country. The incen-
tive for the campaign to get respon-
sible citizens Into such an organiza-
ton, he said, Is the fact that $4,000
persons were killed and 100000 in
jured in 1880 as the result Of motor
ing accidents. In addition, millions
Of dollars were lost by reason Of dam
age to vehicles and property which
these accidents caused. 4
Upon acceptance Of q member of
the league. motorists are given an
emblem to be attached to the front
Of the cars to indicate their member
ship.
Among me Of national promi-
nence who already have Joined the
movement and give 1t their endorses
ment are Senator Gerald p. Nye OF
North Dakota: Senator Simeon D.
Tess of Ohio, chairman Of the Hspub-
lican national comrnittee5. Senators
Wagner OF New York, Thomas Of Ok
lAhoma and Capper Of Kansas. Pic
lures Of these men are to be pub
lished in an advertisement to pfo-
mote the league which win b soen
soon In a leading national magazine.
Bismarck persons wishing TO join
this organization may do 50 by req
isterinE at the stair Motor company.
There is no initiation fee and no
dues; neither is there any obligation
to buy anything, Stair said. The only
requirement for Active membership
is the signing and observance Of the
pledge.

TR|-STATE MEET
WILL DISCUSS
RIVER RIGHTS

Conservation officials of three
States will meet at q luncheon
conference at the Raleigh Hotel,
Thursday to discuss interstate
problems arising from use of the
Potomac River.
The meeting is being held at
the invitation of SwepSon Earle,
Maryland commissioner, who IN.
vited conservation officials Of
Virginia and West Virginia to
the gathering at which the ques-
ton of rights on the river-where
Virginia and West Virginia could
use the stream in common-will
be one of the major topics.
Fishing and navigation prob
lens, in which the three States
are interested, as well as the de-
velopment of power. are expected
to claim attention Of the officials.
1t is possible also that the matter
of re-allocating jurisdiction over
the navigable parts Of the stream
may also be taken up. Maryland
laws now govern the navigation
