A torch was applied to the huge pile of dice tables, roulette wheels, slot machines and other gamb ling ' equipment shortly after it had been seized by state militiamen on orders from Governor Long. The sol diers cheered as the flames took hold. The blow against the two clubs, the Jai-Alai and the Arabi, just out side the city limits, was struck swift ly. Governor Long reached New Or leans after dark Saturday and drove six miles down the river to Jackson barracks where hn presented wrjtten orders to AdjUtnut General Fleming to raid the places nearby. Arming his Binall detachment with rifles and postols and dividing them in half under commands of enptaina. General Fleming stormed the pluces simultaneously. Uhe whirr ot the wheel and the click of the dice were quickly turned into screams of women and oaths of men. "Back to the walls," yelled the cap' tains. "We don't want to shoot but we are prepared td." A shot rang out from'a sentry and pandemonium broke loose. But the several hundred men and women soon were lined against the wall and clean up operations were begun. Guordsmen scooped up six thotmond dollars in rash and others went down the line taking names and addresses that would make "John Doe" blush. As they were released on their per sonal recognizance and poured outside a cameraman set off a flash. Fifty men immediately pounced upon him. His camera was smnshed and he was carried off unconscious and badly in jured. People of standing were around those boards Saturday night and they guarded their identity. Back in a New Orleans hotel. Gov ernor Long received the reports with the glee of a school boy. "Gambling will stop under my ad ministration." he said. "I told them what 1 was going to do If they didn't close down." Thus was answered the call of New Orleans business men, who complain ed that people were unable to pay their bills with casino losses hitting close to the $50.U0 mark nightjy. The Jai-Alai and the Arab! dubs and three smaller ones were closed down as tightly as a drum last night and all was quiet along the lower Mississippi.

Dr. John Roach Straton Has Change of Heart On Al Smith NEW York, Aug. 13 OP) The Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton. pastor of Calvary Raptist church, has re fused to meet Governor Smith fn de bate In his church on the grounds that the pulpit is no place for a political discussion. Governor Smith had asked to be allowed to defend himself there from the attack I r. Straton made on him from the pu pit of Calvary a week ago Sunday in which the governor was called the "deadliest foe of moral progress in the country." Dr. Straton'a refuse! to meet the governor in debnte in the pulpit from which he made his chnrgea was made in a statement read to the congrega tion in Calvary last night by his son, the Rev. Hillyer Straton, of Philadel phia, who conducted the evening ser vice lu the absence of his father who is at ltia summer home in Greenwood Lnne, N. Y. 'I stand ready to meet the gover nor at any time, except the Lord's day, and in any suitnb.e place," Dr. Straton wrote, "and 1 sincerely hope that he may be led to take my accept ance of hie chnllenge at Its face value." Dr. Straton said that his previous statement that he would meet Gov ernor Smith "face to face" in Cal vary church It the governor would also debate him on the same question in St. Patrick's cathedrnl was in the nature of a joke, and for the "sake of a bit of humor to relieve the rather tense situation."
