citizens who are preparing to make «£♦
a campaign to close gambling houses
in Juarez.
Most of the money is left in the
Trivoli, the big gambling hall where
roulette, craps, chuckaluck, faro and
many other games ate played. But
the keno hall, a big building adjoin
ing the other, takes in $250 every
hour it is open, pud it is open from
11 a. m. to 12:30 a m. During these
hours the Trivoli is open also- and
both halls have good patronage. At
night, both are so crowded that j
there are no seats left and often at
night, especially on Sundays and I
holidays, there is scarcely room to;
walk about.
Business men in El Paso are com
plaining. The chamber of commerce
held a few conferences on the sub-
ject of gambling in Juarez and ^an-
nounced that its membership for the
most part thought it was nothing
for that body to dabble into. Fear
that closing the gambling would stop
some of the tourists from coming to
El Paso and prevent some of them
who did come here from staying
longer, were assigned as part reas-
ons by opposers of gambling for
the announcement. To the business
men who complained that El Paso
men and visitors were spending
money in Juarez which otherwise
would be spent in El Paso, the cham
her made the explanation that most
money left in Juarez finally drifted
back to El Paso banks and to busi-
ness houses here.
This is part of the business side
of it. But th£ ministers and the
women stressed particularly the mor-
al side. Letters by the score were
received by newspapers published in
El Paso complimenting them On edi-
torials which they had published, op-
posing open gambling in Juarez. Min-
isters preached on the subject Sun-
day after Sunday and a movement
was started to placard streets lead-
ing to the bridge Serosa the river
with signs which read: “This Road

of our investigations, we earnestly recommend the Lone Star and the

of our Weatherford market by the growing of better staple cotton and
