FEAR ITALY TO ROB FRANCE OF RICHGAMBLERS War With Giant Greek Syndicate Complicated by New Factor. Bv Vnite*. F Pres* DEAUVILLE, France, Aug. 15. Italy appears as a possibly important factor today in the gambling war between French and Greeks. The French government raised its gambling taxes and . caused the Greek syndicate to quit playing baccarat, and it was reported Italy considered granting bacarat concession* to attract the rich gamblers across her own borders. Leaving Italy out of consideration, the baccarat battle had drifted outwardly into an endurance test between the French government and Greek gamblers. And while a French tax inspector tried to explain to the Greeks that his government only was enforcing parliament's decision to boost the cut on baccarat banks, high stake playing dwindled to almost nothing. It was understood that the government, already worried by its loss in baccarat revenue, is alarmed by the possibility of Italy stepping in and robbing the French casinos of their millionaire patrons. Orgy at Gould Casino By Cniteii Pres* JUAN-LES-PINS, France, Aug. 15. —Withdrawal of the famous Greek gambling syndicate from play along the Riviera was followed Thursday by “an orgy of baccarat” resulting in the highest stakes in the history of the Gould casino. The casino earned almost $40,000 profits, for the week after several days in which mo6t of the Riviera casinos suffered a decline in high stakes due to withdrawal of the syndicate. The chief players were the Belgian. Baron Empain, and Jack Coats, British millionaire, who held bank. The sky was the limit at the Gould casino, with the result that many novel bets were placed, including automobiles, and even villas along the Mediterranean. “This is the greatest gambling orgy in history,’ > said Commodore Louis Beaumont of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, owner of the largest j Riviera estate at Eilen rock. “I’ve | lived here forty years, but never before have I seen beachcombers become millionaires over night.”
