SEVENTEEN GAMBLERS
ARRESTED BY POLICE

Shack at Rear of Queen’s Hotel
Was Raided by Officers
Last Night.

The excitementran high in the

miniature Monte Carlo. There
were some seventeen men, mostly
Greeks, seated at the gaming

tables, on which there were card
packs and chips in profusion.
The hour of midnight had been
struck by the clocks but a few
minutes before, and in the noc-
turnal stillness the’ gamblers
looked with fevered eyes at their
ecards, although their immobile
faces showed no sign of their
feelings.

Suddenly the scene was inter-
rupted and all were thrown into

confusion. Two officers of the
law had appeared and quickly
rounded up the gamesters, who

offered no resistence.

The gambling den was a shack
at the back of the Queen’s Hotel,
run by Joe Boujios. The officers
who made the arrests were Con-
stable Shiels of the city police
and Constable Bennett of the fed-
eral police. Together with the
gamblers they took off two dozen
packs of cards and the rake- off
drawer, with great stacks of
chips, All thése were produced
inthe police court this morning
as evidence when the seventeen
men were brought up before the

magistrate. /
The case was adjourned till
Tuesday. Most of the men are

out on bail, the amounts running
from $25 to $75.

Washington, Aug. 2
hopes now prevail that the Huerta
government of Mexico and that of
the United States will soon arrive
at a mutual understanding which
will result in a peaceful settle-

quest of President Huerta, who in
his official request to Lind states
that he is willing to meet the de-

CRITICAL CHAMPION OF

Editor News.
Dear Sir:
of The Daily
dered why

As a regular reader
News I have won-
you have not more
vigorously attacked the Evening
Empire (more appropriately
known as .the Evening Knocker)
for its campaign. of malevolence
against anybody and any meas-
ure which does not pay homage
to the editor of that paper. It
seems to me that the time has
come in the history of. this city
when he should be shown up in
his true light, particularly to the
outside public, who do not thor-
oughly understand the situation.

His recent campaign to block
the cily in the securing of funds
to carry on necessary and urgent
works has been conducted solely
to satisfy his Vindictive animos-
ity. As mayor of the city last
year he was an absolute failure,
and his council meetings heeame
a jest and a farce. This year, at
a time when there is a severe
financial stringency and yet a
solution is offered whereby urgent
public works may be proceeded
with, the editor of the Knocker
exhorts and prays that no such
thing be possible. His one de-
sire is to get the men out of of-
fice who are now in and he is
willing to make any sacrifice of
the welfare of the city to accom-
plish that purpose. It is time
for the good name and pest in-
terests of the city that the people
no longer tolerate this kind of
thing. For years. this «man,
through his: paper, has not hesi-
tated to use, the vilest language
of anyone concerning whom he
might take umbrage, and his dia-
tribes have been of a nature to
lead outsiders to believe that
Prince Rupert is a good place to
keep away from.

SACRIFICES PUBLIC WELFARE
TO SATISFY PERSONAL SPLEEN.

MASK PRETTY WELL TORN FROM SELF-APPOINTED, HYPO-

THE PEOPLE—A POS!I-

TIVE tNJURY TO THE CITY.

The attitude of the Knocker is
a direct injury to every citizen of
Prince Rupert. It is a positive
injury, the extent of which we
cannot calculate through its ef-
fect on the outside public. It ts
a direct injury to every business
man through opposing work
which should start immediately.
It is a direct injury to every
property holder who desires to
see those things carried out
which are essential to the perma-
nency of things in the city. It is
a direct injury to the working
man through depriving him of
work which would otherwise be
available, and it ig a menacing
deterrent to capital which is so
absolutely necessary if we are to
build up our city and without
which there can be no work for
ithe workers.
The worst enemy of the people
is the man who in the name of
public good deliberately sacrifices
the public welfare to satisfy per-
sonal spleen and an irrational
ambition to pose as the champion
of the people. It is gratifying,
however, that the mask has been
pretty well torn from this self-
appointed, pharisaigal champion,
whose vulgar catch penny phrases
are empty of any rea foundation

deceive those who do not know
any better. (It is time that not
only the citizens of Prince. Ru-
pert but the outside public
should thoroughly realize that
the editor of the Evening Knocker
is not to be taken seriously but
is simply a vulgar demagogue
whose course is run.

publicity, I remain,
