He said that | it was in keeping with the reform prom- ised by the new charter to crush out every form of vice that threatened the youth of e city, and that when he felt that he a to truckle to gamblers to secure his I political success he would retire from pub- lie offic Ministers Condemn Ingleside. After a great deal of preliminary_spar- ring between Supervisor Tobin, ~Super- visor Reed and the Mayor, it was de- cided to listen to the reading of the ordi- nance proposed by Tobin. After the read- ing, a number of ministers present were allowed to address the board. Rev. E. A. Woods, pastor of the First Baptist ( rch, spoke in part as follows: S 40 TOBIN WAS NOT SINCERE fons and resolutions have been re- [ d i : + + . @ = 4 ordinance Supervisor L. J. visor P. J. Curtis, made the following statement: “Supervisor Tobin is not sincere in introducing his gambling ordinance. I have’ never favored the reopening of Ingleside, neither have I favored an ordinance against poolselling that would be so sweeping as to become obnox- ious. Knowing this Tobin approached me and told me that unless I would stand in with him in reopening Ingle- side he would force upon the city an ordinance that would punish every one who had op- posed his plans.” P R R S22 RIS ISPV PP sources of this city, Tepre- sixty or eighty churches of dif- denominations. These churches 000 or 60,000 people. Their re- quest is entirely on moral grounds. They feel that the closing of the Ingleside race- track one year ago was a blessing to this city. That the year which has passed since the closing of the track has wit- ssed good results was manifest to all. therefore, for us to protest against versal. 1 am personally in favor nimals if it _has for its object ypment of horseflesh and the consequent improvement of stock. Any- thing of that kind, it seems to us, might be conducted in a way that would be of great value to the State. We are not protesting against the racetrack, but the poolselling itself.” Thrives on Proceeds of Crime. Mayor Phelan then invited Rev. Dr. Bell to address the board, and he re- sponded. In part he said: “If we are to speak concerning the propositions which have just been read from the resolution offered by the chalr- man of the Police Committee I am slight- Iy puzzled as to its meaning. I do not think it relates to the object of our com- ing before the board. If it be on the sub- rw"x of the advisability of reopening the ngleside racetrack with all that it means to our city, we are here to protest against that action, kindly, thoughtfully and from a moral point of view. I can say, as the preceding speaker has said, that {f the el ement of betting and poolselling could be prevented by proper legislation we think that no special track seems to carry with it three or four points which necessarily eall for protest on our part as ministers of the Gospel, who represent people who believe that such a move will affect the general wel- fare of our city. It is to be assumed that the track was to be opened for the pur- pose of making money. It may also be assumed that that purpose carries with it the making of money on a gambling basis. | That being_ true, we would respectfully and kindly and as citizens protes ainst it being reopened. Under the new charter this city is making giant strides toward reform, and we appeal to the members of the board not to violate their promises or the objects of the new charter by re- tracing the steps taken by their predeces- sors. We appeal to you as ministers and we protest against any such action If it is contemplated.” Racetrack a Dead Issue. At the conclusion of Dr. Bell's remarks the chairman called on Rev. John A. B. Wilson . of the Howard-street M. E. Church,” who _delivered a fervent and forcible appeal to the board. “It looks to me,” he said, “‘as if we were fighting a dead issue. 1 knew you would not reopen Ingleside. I knew that this reform administration under the new charter would not undo the act of the last board. I feel that we as ministers and citizens need not say a word against it— it &s a dead issue. I Go not believe in making a Sunday school of this city, Mr. Mayor; I don’t think it can be done in the next two years; but we can bring San Francisco up to a standard it never be- fore occupied. I hope that the gentlemen here will listen to our prayers and will have the courage to stand by this crdi- nance. My study has been crowded every day with broken-hearted mothers and wives, who have begged me to save their gons and husbands frem the infatuation of gambling, which is wrecking their homes. 1 have a list of over fifty unfor- tunates who are now serving long sen- tences in prison through this terrible evil. You are familiar with these terrible evils. You are fathers of families, and for God's sake remember that there are, people be- ing ruined every day by gambling.” Tobin Defends His Position. Rev. E. A. Woods then asked leave that Dr. Nelander be allowed to address the board, and, this being grant- ed, the pastor of the First Eng- lish Lutheran Church ‘called = at- tention to a statement mage l;g Chairman Tobin at a meeting of “the Pallce Com- mittee when the racetrack ordinance was under discussion, which in effect was that the men who bullt the track should be considered; that they had great interest at stake, and, having invested. their money, should be given an opportunity to realize on their investment, Dr. Nelan. der said that rather than mn th men to live off the money su 1) men and, women of clty the city ought (0 pay them twice and even thrice the amount the{) invested. Supervisor Tobin then took the floor and defended his position. He told of h stand in the matter and .ve his reasons for offering such a resolution. " At the conclusion of his speech Supervisor Comte moved that the ordinance be passed to tain as- onished his colleagues by his utterances. Supervisor Comte replied to the asser- tions of Reed and was loudly applauded k" When » argued that it would not do for the ing element, for, he asserted, it had been rked contrast to the admissions of protest could be | made.
