Mayor Humes’ stock of patience has been exhausted by the con- tinuous vaudeville performance the knights of the green cloth have been giving since election day, and like the trodden worm, he has turned at last and an- my age that he will have no more of it. There is even a prospect that | the mayor will abandon entirely | his wide-open policy of the past | four years and close lock the city gates gambling. and double- | against all/ The Mayor Turns The change in Mayor Humes’ attitude is due to what the boss gamblers now admit to have been an asinine blunder on their part | ~—nothing less than an attempt to | win their fight against the Clancy brothers through the interven tlon of the city council, The con ference between the councilmen chosen and the mayor was held yesterday, but the result was far different from what the gamblers had expected. Instead of winning the game by playing thelr trump card, the gamblers merely precipl- | tated a crisis in the gambling war However, the gamblers today ‘understood that they have until Saturday evening to reopen. If they do not come to terms with the Clancy brothers by that time in sporting parlance, “it will be all off.” If the gamblers are still atift- necked when the council meets j in Monday evening steps will no doubt be taken to permanently abolish all gambling A Counciiman's Views A prominent member of the council atated this morning that the gamblere need expect no more me for consideration; mayor himself did not order the town closed a résolution recom mending the suppression of all gambling games would be intro duced in the council and passed Monday evening In case the gam Diers and the Clancys had not agreed to a reopening of the closed | houses Beiteves It's Ali Over The best Informed sporting men the city bellewe that Mayor Humes means every word he sald to the council delegation yeater day, They believe he has given his ultimatum to the gamblers and that if the latter do not forthwith | recognize the Clancys the mem bers of the gambiing ring Will be ruthlessly prosectited and perma nently enjoined from gambling in Seattle. It Is even rumored that the police will be ordered to raid the closed houses and to burn the tools now stored there The threat of somd of the gam bling houses to establish a new Monte Carlo at West Seattle un doubtedly had ite effect toward inducing the city councilmen to at- tempt Intercession between Mayor Humes and the gamblers. The eity formerly obtained a revenue of about $3,000 a month In fines from the games, and several mem bers of the finance and police, li conse and revenue committees are said to have been considerably worried by the threat of the gam blers to move their games across the bay TEN-TO-ONE SHOT HITS TOTEM POOLROOM HARD A Bright Scheme Worked Up in Oakland Which Causes the Local Establishment to Lose $2300 on One Race | The owners of the Totem pool room are seriously considering the advisability of consulting a medil- eine man.

Acting on advices from Oakland the Totem made Larry four to one About the time these odds wore posted, three telegrams were re celved by as many Seattle sport ing men, tipping them to back the four to one shot.

For if Wilt was such a good thing wouldn't some one in Oakland have found it out? Then the telegraph tnatrument ticked off the result and “the gang” threw up their tattered sky pleces and rushed for the box The despised Larry Wilts won In a canter and the favorites did not even show, Windward, at 50 to 1, got place, and Free Lance, at 12 to 1 show.
