Changes in the laws to curb gun- men, who now run at large in New Z York if they are provided with “per- mits” from up-State Judges to curry firearms, are expected as a result of the shooting of two detectives in a raid on a crap game at No, 301 Wost 6th Street early Sunday, when Arnold Rothstein, a picturesque figure in New York's gambling fraternity, Was arrested with nineteen others.
