GEORGE G, SCOVIL WRITES ENTERTAINLY OF A'TRIP TO OLD . MEXICO AND WHAT HE ‘ . SAW Famous Monte Carlo Gaming House Deseribed Together With Bull Pen “ and Dance Halls . v

Ceorge G. Scovil former resident of Ligonier writing from ,his home in Ontario, California describes a trip he and Mrs. Scovil made to places in Old Nexico, traveling by automobile. In his description of & visit to Ti. Juana, Mexico, Mr. Scovil says his party left home Saturday morning and drove to San Diago a distance of 131 miles, beautiful scenery all the way. They passed through Orange, a pretty town, and on to San Juan Capastrous where an old Catholic Mission was visited. In San - Diego harbor a number of U. S. war vessels and destroyers were moored. In crossing the Mexican line they found U. S. and Mexican officers stationed on their respective sides. A fee of ten cents had to be paid for the ‘privilege of driving across to Ti Juana where the famous Monte Carlo Inn is situated. On entering the Inn the travelers found a bar 40 feet 'in length. Whiskey a small glass costs 50 cents and beer 356 cents. In the large room more than 100 tables are - provided for guests who desire. to play roulette, faro, chuck-a-luck, poker or -any game known to the sporting fraternity. Each person in charge of ‘a game is chained in a stall and has no -chance to decamp with the money. An adjoining room is given over to a big dance hall with fine. polished tloor and beautiful wall hangings. In onggdcorner behind an iron fence are fowgreat iron safes, each big enough to serve a bank. When Monte Carlo is in operation many thousands of dollars change hands there daily. The place will open for the season on Thanksgiving day. At one side is a race course with -an-amphitheatre which seats 5,000 people. Admission cards say: “Men $1.50” “Women $1.00.” In another section of the spacious grounds is the bull pefl where fights take place at 'inter-vals.l Natives told Mr. Scovil that in the last fight two men were badly crippled three bulls and four horses killeed. The little town has about 300 inhabitants and ten saloons and each saloon has a dance hall and many slot ‘machines. The high price of liguors obtains in all places. . - “We drapk no liquor,” says Mr.! Scovil. All the worthwhile business js operated by Amercians. Bussesj run between San Diego and the Mexican town at frequent igtervals, a distance of 17 miles. . T |

“And by the way,” continues .The writer, “I forgot to mention that on the way to San Diego while/rounding a hill a passenger in a car. lit. his cigaret from a cigar being smoked by a man a mile behind him.”

In Hands of Receiver. Holders of shares in the Co-Oper-ative Society of America—The Chicago concern sponsored -by Harrison M. Parker of Chicago—were directly and .painfully interested in the announcement in the press that the checkered hisory of that enterprise has finally ended in bankruptey. Following .protracted -litigation, Judge Evan A. Evans Chicago appointed the Central Trust Co., as receiver for the alleged defuncti organization, upon petition of a - committee of certificate holders. :

The Society operates 191 stores. - *Almost -simultaneously ~with th®2 announcement of the receiver's appointment at Chicago was the declaration at the office of the United States district attorney in Chicago that the- criminil investigation ordered in August by Judge Landis into alleged juggling of the society’s funds by Parker and fellow officials has almost been completed and evidence will be presented to the federal grand jur{ without delay.
