THE CLOUD OF FAKIRS SOME REVENUE DERIVED FROM THE OPERATORS OF GAMES , " BY CITY TREASURY. There are more fakirs and games of chance in operation upon the streets this year than for several years past, aud all of them seem to be flourishing. This Is a source of a pretty good rev enue for tbe city also and none of them are being run without a lU-ense. City Recorder Judah's books show, for the fast two days, that 130 has already been realised from these games and amusements, whereas, . for the whole Fair season last yiear, only $7 was col lected The spindle-wheel, "peddlers, novelty targets and African lodgers. are cperatcd upon daily licenses, and when they fail or neglect to take out a license they are tlosed up without cer emony. " City Recorder Judah said last night that he had received scorea-of-appliea-tions for licenses to conduct gambling games of all descriptions, but that he had regarded them with suspicion and refused them point blank. The -Fish pond" game which was In operation here last year and developed Into a "skin" game of the worst type, applied for a license again this year, but Re corder Judah refused the operat-jrs li cense and forbade them Opening the game at all. ' ' ' Sheriff Coluath made the rounds una closed up all the "sure thing" games, which were runnlng w ide open atiu In full blast on Monday night, and stated, that he proposed to keep them closed If be had to resort to seizing their ap paratus and prosecuting, the operators, but they jwere reported running again last night. :"' ' : City Rrirorder Judah and Chief of Io- llce Gibson wore seen last right and when asked what action th city au thorities proposed to take, in the mat ter, Reebrder Juda said. 7; v rFrom the very flrst Chief Gibson and myself have been a unit .on the program of flat exclusion o skin gimes' here this week. Cappers and boosters were to be dealt with promptly and vigorously and their principals shut off from operating any 'cinches; no licenses were to be issued to questionable games, and the pro gram has been adhered to, to the letter. The, early intervention of the county officers has made it unnecessary for the city officers to take any specific ac tion In the premises, unless there shall te further Infringements of the law, "Sheriff Col bath was strictly within his prerogative In his action on Mondsy evening and the effect, will, doubtless, be for the good of the city and county, but the results might have been even more far-reaching had he enlisted the t-o-operation of the chief of police, who was equally ready to act in the mat ter. - .."
