ALLEGED GAMBLING.
A SCHOOL DISTURBED
Per Press Association
CHRISTCHTJRCH, May 31
Detective "Ward, Gibson, Livingstone and H. P. Kennedy were successful in happening upon a "school" of alleged gamblers in Sydenham." About 11 o'clock the detectives found about a dozen men, mostly young, engaged in what is reported to have been game of chance with cards. They also had "two up" kips which it is alleged they were about to use. The "school ;i was discovered in a part of a blind street and previous immunity from interference, possibly from a nustaken idea as to the innocence of their actions, led to them being -caught napping, outposts that most "schools ' have being nonexistent. The names, of the men were taken and prosecu-* tions will probably follow.
