Chief of Polio John Briggs, who has bten making a campaign to clean up the town under the written orders of the police board, was yesterday directed to clean out tho gamblers. The chief at once notified all the gambling houses, which number about twelve. The orders of the board comprehend the closing of gambling Joints In pool halls, cigar stores and other places. Briggs read the orders last night. Briggs received the orders about noon and at once notified the gambling houses to close up. Almost immediately the streets were Infested With the tin-horns and the regular gamblers who for months have enjoyed fat pickings. They were of all ages and conditions, from the cheap street corner crap shooter to the prosperous-looking, shrewd-eyed "professional" of the roulette wheel. And they were soic. The new orders, taken in light of the spasm directed against lawless saloon keepers, is not counted on very seriously. Of the saloonmcn caught and treld by tho board, the minutes of that organiza tion showed that the cases had been dis missed for want of evidence. Briggs has succeeded In putting some fear of the law into certain bootlegers and saloonmen. He has dono so practically single handed. Society Notes. A.
