Memphis, Tenn., Oct, 9.—Forty years of gambling came to a spectacular end in Hot Springs, Ark., yesterday, when the City Improvement Union, of 600 citizens, closed 30 gambling rooms and gave a battalion of gamesters a few hours to leave the city. The manner In which the gamblers were literally drummed out of town was sensational In the extreme. Dis gusted by the continued evasion of their duty by the sworn officers of the law, the 23 executives of the union, known as the "sklddoo committee," had issued a final warning both to the recalcitrant officers and to the gam blers that the rooms must be closed at once. No heed was paid to the warning, nnd today the entire membership of tho union, heuded by a brass band, march ed to the city hall, police headquarters and court house and forced state, coun ty nnd city officials to raid and closo the gambling houses forthwith, the 500 going along to see that It was done E roperly. To the roll of drums and lare of trumpets playing patriotic airs, such gamblers as were found were marched to the union station and or dered to take the first train out and return no more. Five hundred gam blers, cappers and women left yester day and last night, and fully $500,000 worth of paraphernalia Is boxed for shipment. “RUBBERING” AT LADIES COST FARMER COX FINE IN THE POLICE COURT Ideal Skating Weather.
