The measure will never come from the committee in | a form that will be practically bene- ficlal. The gamblers will argue that the pro- posed ordinance is too sweeping; that it destroys a sport which should, on legitimate lines, be encouraged. Th race track schemers will tell the Board of Supervisors that a restriction of the | racing season will be acce; , and that the authorities of the city may limit the racing season to sixty days or even to thirty days if necessary. Any sub- stitute will be a welcome alternative to the proposed ordinance of prohibition. | The gamblers and their paid bribers tory | will tell the members of the board that | innocent peop track, will lose their income if book- making and convict-making are stopped in the city. It will be urged that the racecourse gives a living to many peo- ple and distress will come if the book- making and gambling privileges of the track are abolished. Restriction and not abolition will be the plea of the s of Ingleside. Members of the board have already | heard this plea. The argument has been advanced that certain constituents of | certain Supervisors demand a modifi- cation of the proposed law. The gam- blers are far too crafty to ask anything more. The indignation of the people of the city is far too thorough to per- mit now anything else than a remedy for the evil. Buckley has been called into a brief vil existence to aid the gamblers, and that Sam Rainey has been asked to use | his influence. Members of the Board of Supervisors know all this and un- | derstand perfectly that any plea, made | under no matter what guise of respect- ability, is simply the plea for a dis- credited cause. Supervisor Perrault stated the situa- tion very clearly yesterday. “We must destroy gambling on horse races in this city,” he sajd. ‘“We passed to print a prohibiting ordinance, confidence that my associates in the board will make their resolution a law. We are on record before the public. We have already registered our votes, and any change will mean something I do not care to discuss. If we determine | to modify the resolution or take any action less effective than that already registered I believe that, to complete | the farce and accept our true position, | we ought to hold the session of the board at Livermore.” Supervisor Perrault’'s summary of the situation tells the story of the dis- honest efforts that are being made to defeat the adoption of the new ordi- nance. While the Supervisors have been coaxed, cajoled and threatened by the gamblers the members of the board have been encouraged and supported by the hearty indorsement of the de- cent people of the city. Organized labor has expressed its unqualified approval of the proposed law, because race- horse gambling and its associated crimes have worked terrible injury to men and women who know the value of money well earned. The press has praised the Supervisors for their determined stand because the people of the press know thoroughly the devastating influence of the racing | gamblers. Clergymen of every denom- ination are as one voice in praising the majority members of the board because clergymen know the secret tragedies of wrecked homes, destroyed by the al- lurements and temptations of Ingleside. Merchants and business men have bat- tled for the victory which the Super- visors have won for the city because the records of the Morgue and of the| State Penitentiary tell what business next | men have suffered in the license of the | gamblers of the race course. These Influences, the best in the eity, are in earnest support of the Super- visors, be waiting to know how the vote for | the destruction of a great evil was taken. In obedience to a public duty The Call has secured again from every member of the Board of Supervisors an expression of opinion on the great ques- tion of the day. In what follows is given these opinions. It is a matter of regret that the members of the board are not a unit, but the reason perhaps Sixth ave., Des Moines, Ia. may not be misunderstood. , who live upon the race- | The Supervisors know that | and I have | and to-morrow thousands will | SUPERVISOR LACKMANN—I am | {mot in favor of any compromise or | delay in the scttlement of this mat- | ter. We have gone into this thing | now and we can not afford to back | down. Race tracks are a nuisance | and a mennce to the morals of our city, and the sooner we curb their evil influence the better it will be | for the eity. All the members of the board are fully conversant with the matter, and there is absolutely no reason why it ean not be settled at once. 1 understand that the race | track people are going to request more time, but I do not think the | majority of the board will grant | their request. They all Lknow the evil effects of race track gambling and seem willing to wipe them out. I am enly sorry that our jurisdic- tion does not extend to other coun- ties where they have race tracks. I would like to see them all avolished. | I have heard the arguments of the gamblers and am with them than other members on | the board, and therefore I am not | in favor of referring the resolution | to a committee or amending it, nn‘ more familiar | in my opinion it covers the whole ground. SUPERVISOR PERRAULT—I have little doubt that the resolution in- troduced at the last meeting of the board will be finally passed at Mon- | day’s meeting. Every member of the board Lnows the evil eflects of gambling at Ingleside, and I belleve the majority of them are willing to | rectify the evil. I introduced the | resolution and I intend to exert every effort to secure its final pas. sage. Too many of our young men and women have fallen under Ingle- side’s load of temptation. I know that all sorts of politieal trickery will be resorted to by the race track people to frustrate our attempts to wipe out the evils of Ingleside, but I have supreme faith in the majority of the board standing by this reso- | lution. Ingleside hax had its day; morality will celebrate on Monday. SUPERVISOR DEASY—I shall vote for the resolution as introduced, and shall do all in my power to close the pool rooms and keep them closed. Since last Monday a number of good people have called on me and commended the effort now be- gun to remove the greatest evil which infests our city. I sincerely | hope the ordinance will became a law. I have not heard of any effort being made by gamblers to stop the | passage of the resolution. SUPERVISOR BYINGTON — When the ordinance was brought up be- | fore the board on Monday last, I voted in favor of passing it to print, | because I deemed that abuses have | grown up under a system which per- | mitted pool selling.

I am strenuously opposed to it be- ing amended or referred to a com- mittee. The ordinance seems to suit the mreat mass of our people, and there is no necessity for delay,either by referring it as is contemplated or | by amending. I am not in favor of | such reference or amendment. Hav- | ing voted in favor of the ordinance 1ast Monday, and believing it to be necessary for the welfare of our city, I intend voting for its final | passage on Monday next. If any changes are made after the stand taken by the board there must have been some influence, not for good, brought to bear upom the members. As a Supervisor, I stand to carry out the expressed desire of the citizens who are for good gov- | ernment. | SUPERVISOR HEYER—I intend to vote for the resolution restricting, or rather prohibiting, gambling on the race track. Gambling on the track has wrought enough ruin to the people of the city, and it is high { It has | been apparent to me for months past that the race track was ruining many young men. At one time I fa- | vored racing. I thought a spring and fall meeting would encourage the breeding of blood horses in the State. After the gamblers began manipulating things, and after I be- came aware that the track wa working n vast injury to the morals | | time the evil was checked. Than Siancisce -Mateh 1T,-— —rege, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, City Hall, City. The following resolution was adopted by the San Fran- cisco Labor Council on the 10th inst.: « Resolved, By the San Francisco Labor Council in regu=~ lar session assembled, that the Secretary of this body be instructed to write a letter to the Board of Supervisors commending its action in passing to print a resolution cal- culated to put a stop to the gambling on horse races.” In obedience to this instruction I want to state that the gambling evil most hideously exhibiting its corrupting in= fluence on mankind in race track betting as conducted in this city and eclsewhere is justly condemned by organized labor, for as long as men and women try to get a living to all movements which have for their aim the betterment of the present deplorable conditions of society—conditions under which one shrewd, unscrupulous rascal growing rich by some method or other of gambling fools, exploits and have been willing and able to assist justice and reform. Therefore the action of this Board of Supervisors in try=- ing to abolish race track gambling in this city is one which labor most heartily indorses, wishing thereby to strengthen the board against the touts and toughs fighting Asking you to bring this action of the Labor Council to the notice of the Board of Supervisors, | remain yours very Recording and Corresponding Sccretary San Francisco Labor ¥ HHO+O+ 04040+ 040+ C+0+ 040404040+ 0+0+ 040404040+ of those who were placed in the way of its temptations, I became opposed to it. T am decidedly opposed to laying the matter over until another date. Delays are dangerous. SUPERVISOR COLLINS—I am op- | posed to the mefarious practices of Ingleside, and I intend to do all in | my power to rectify the evil. My vote next Monday will be the same as it was on last Monday as far as this matter is concerned. I feel that many of our young men and women | are being ruined by the temptations of the race track, and I mean to add my little mite to save them from further ruin and dishonor. I am not a frequenter of the race track, and | 1 therefore know little of the class | of people who thrive on its opera- | in the | I have read enough however, to convince me tion. papers, that race track gambling should be checked. SUPERVISOR AIGELTINGER—I am | a lover of good and fast horses, but | I think racing has been overdone in this city. It has had a tendency to make business as poor as it is, and | I think it ought to be restricted as in other large cities. One of the reasons why I voted in favor of the resolution when it was introduced was because the men in control have overdone it. I believe in passing the ordinance at this | time, and if in future they wish to hold a race meet We CAn DASS & Dew law and allow them to have just so | many days racing. If there is any effort made to turn the matter over to a committee or amend or in any way delay its pas- sage, 1 intend voting against such an attempt. We don’'t want the Ingleside peo- ple to think we are prejudiced against them. They are entitled to appear before us and have a hear- | ing, but in my opinlon it is not the proper time to do so. The ordinance should pass on Monday, and when the matter comes up again before us they can then give reasons why they | should be allowed to hold a meet- ing. SUPERVISOR HOLLAND—TI am op- | posed to the methods of gambling and gamblers now in vogue at the race track and in the pool reoms of this city. I am in favor of remedy- ing the evils now destroying the morals of young men and women. This evil—I refer to the race track gambling—has been increasing, and particularly the custom of women and young men and bovs being ul- lowed to bet on the races. In my opinion nothing is so demoralizing to society and tends to degrade our men and women as this Iatter fea- ture.

Regarding the resolution now pending before the Board of Super- visors, I have not given it a gremt denl of consideration, but to-mor- row I will vote for what I deem the best interests of San Franeisco, SUPERVISOR ATTRIDGE — Since voting in favor of the resolution in- troduced by Dr. Perrault last Mon- day, residents of the outlying dis- tricts have come to me and pointed out that if the track is abolished they will lose their bread and but- ter. They say that thelr very exist- ence depends on keeping the track open, for they have purchased 09&000&0&00000_4060#000*NO‘O&Q‘OQOmeOO#O404040‘0‘0#000*000#04040$000¢°00§ arrow- | the | | homes and 1and in the vicinity of | the race track, and if it is closed values will diminish. The resolution, in my opinion, s too sweeping. I would like to see some restrictions placed upon rac- |ing. I want to give the proposed ordinance further consideration be- fore voting on it. I think it should be thoroughly investigated, and I am in favor of such a course. It is | probable that representatives of the track will appear before the board on Monday and we will hear some- thing from them. We want to give everybody a fair deal and do not want to injure any one. We admit that the race track is an evil and must be remedied. SUPERVISOR KALBEN—My posi- tion is a most unfortunate omne. I am by instinct a sporting man, and my business brings me in contact | with sporting people. I want to do the right thing by the people. Many of my intimate friends have inter- viewed me on both sides of the pro- position now before the board, and which has for its object the suppres- slon of gambling at the race track. At the present time I am on the | fence. I regret that I am in such an unfortunate position. My position in this matter is more delicate than any other member of the board. I have not made up my mind how I will vote on this resolution as yet. SRR ST LABOR'S FREE SENTIMENTS. | Representative Men of Every Trade | in Opposition to the Track. | The position of workingmen regarding the racetrack is clearly defined. They 'szand as a unit opposed to it and its no- torious accessories. There are two central labor bodles in this city, representing the organized | workingmen—the Building Trades Coun- | il, composed, as its name implies, of car- | penters, bricklayers, paperhangers, | painters, plasterers and other men em- | ployed in the erection of bulildings, and | the San Francisco Labor Council, in which every trade outside the builders’ | 1s represented, as well as a few inside. | _As has already been Building Trades’ Councl iast Thursday night conde and supported the Supervisors in their efforts to overthrow it. No definite ac- tion was taken, but one member after an- poke his mind other took the ] an who would freely. There W stand up for the n amblers. s I3 At the meeting of the Labor Council on Friday night the action was more clearly defined. After a free discussion of race- track methods a resolution was adopted ipstructing the secretary to write a let- ter to the Supervisors indorsing the ac- tion of last Monday. A fac-simile of this letter is printed in another column. This action of the two bodies, which to- gether represent over 20,000 workingmen, is in itself extraordinary. Labor bodles in this city have hitherto been accustomed to deal strictly with labor S. The fight against the corruption of gleside has been so pronounced, however, as to demand attention and command vig- orous action from the workingmen of this city. The remarks of the labor leaders are in themselves significant. P. H. Mc- Carthy, president of the Building Trades Councll, say “There is a trail of blood, the blood of voung men, leading from the Morgue to the es of Ingleside.” From Walter J. Macarthur of the Coast Seame!

The crusade against the united gamblers of the track and the managers of local pool rooms, he says, is a good one, and it b hooves all honest workingmen who r spect the sanctity of their homes to talke cognizance of it. These are a few arguments against th racetrack’s notorious adjuncts. Th members of the labor unions of this city can cite instances of the homes of fellow workmen ruined by the track.

President Ernst A. Denicke presided, and there was a large attendance of members. After the read- ing of the minutes of the preceding meet- ing the report of the secretary was re- ceived. It showed that during the past vear the total receipts were $4,916 10, and the total expenditures $45,023 68. The pres- ent membership of the institite is 420, During the past year the gain in volumes was 17%; total number of volumes 78,391 and total circulation of books 173.425. The following trustees elected were in- stalled in office: Ernst A. Denicke, John McLaten, Horace Wilson, Charles M. Plum, Robert W. Neal, Rodney Kendrick and Waiter N. Brunt.

President Denicke, in his annual report, advocated the sale of the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion block, and the use of the proceeds of the same for building a new library bhilding. He stated also that he thought the time had come for moving the Pa- vilion. The question of an amendment to do away with the proportional representa- | tion of the minority on the board of trus- tees was lost, after a long discussion. An- other unimportant proposed amendment | affecting the constitution was also lost. | The board of trustees re-elected the same officers—E. C. Denicke, president; Rodney Kendrick, vice president; E.

For a short time the air in the Palace Hotel grillroom was So blue with done brown adjectives last evening that the chief cook banked his fires and broiled juicy tenderloin steaks on the artificial heat so gratultously furnished. Dan Me- Carty of white hat fame and Edward Corrigan, czar of all Ingleside, met In deadly argument. Dan made no move to reach for a razor and Corrigan had no smoke wagon at- tached to his train, but for a while there Was a great deal of bustle and fight talk in the air. It all came about over the racehorse Credo. [t seems that some months ago McCar- ty, findln% the money market a trifle cramped, borrowed some money of H. S. Crocker, vice president of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, to defray the ex- enses of bringing some horses to San rancisco from a Fresno County ranch, giving in return a promissory note. Some time later, in trying out some of his thor- oughbreds, Dan discovered that a geld- ing by Morello-Prize (breeding enough to suit the most fastidious), was a preco- olous plece of horseflesh.’ McCarty con- fided in Corrigan and Corrigan, ever kind to the needy, agreed to take Credo and race him in his colors.

Mec- Carty sought to seek a settlement and regain possession of the horse, but in the interim Corrigan had taken up the prom- | issory note and kept delaying matters. Races were on the programme for which | | Credo was eligible, but Corrigan did not enter him. One day last week the “maister” of In- gleside told a member of the McCarty | | family that he had sold Credo_to Galen | | Brown. Just previous to this J. Carroll, | ! nephew of Corrigan, offered $400 for the | gelding, which was refused. Later Corri- | | gan contradicted himself, saying he had Shipped Credo to his Sacramento County | | farm, as he had pulled up lame. McCarty wants his horse, so does Cor- rigan.

Peter Strom, an habitue of re- Coast, was knocked down in front of 911 Kearny street last night by a soldier who gave the name of Frank Richards. She was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital, where it was found that she had sustained a severe scalp wound and possibly a fracture of the skull. Richards claims that the woman robbed him of $7, and when she refused to return it he struck her. He was locked up at the California-street po- lice station pending the result of Mrs. Strom’s injuries. ————————— Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. J.
