The building te amed open Wednesday, despite notices posted by federal marshals Friday warning the public not to re move anything. Federal affidavits allege an un identified source with the On Leong association told them he came from the organization’s New York head quarters in 1975 to Houston to run two gambling operations here. The source, whose name is not re vealed in the affidavit, said he ran a “fan-tan” table at one of the loca tions. Fan-tan is a type of gambling in which players bet against the house on the number of buttons in a container.
