At a largely attended meeting of the

the result. that the directors were In

Prior to last night's meeting it was
thought that tha Judge Williams home

McLav homestead at Fifteenth and Tay-

of onlnlon waa that both places were
too far removed from the bualnasa can .
ter. There ware also a number of tha
club membera who favored purchaalng

offered for 1120.000. payable In S per

was that tha club membership had out
grown the present quarters and that It
was impracticable to enlarge the build

Another objection urged against the
purchase of the present building is tha
fact that the erection of the Olds.

Jury In Ha final report takes a hard rap
at tha county court for ita conduct of
affairs at the county rock pile at Kel
ly's Butte. While praising tha gaod
roads that have been built, the report
says that 'the "taxpayers are entitled to
all tha benefits of tha labor of all the
prisoners, those in the county Jail as
well as those In the city jail," and it Is
declared that ,aa( the law gives Sheriff
Stevens the cuatodv of the prisoners

judge weostar ana tne county commis
sioners. The grand Jurora sav that they
agree with the former grand Jury that
tha prisoners in some instances are
handled with very poor judgment, and
that soma changes should be made. The
food Is criticised as "none too good."
and It la strongly intimated that the
oountv court is .economising too mucn
on the coat of meals at the rock pile.'
On the other hand, Sheriff Stevens
?eta a bouquet for his management of
he county Jail. "We find the Jail ex
ceedingly , crean, neat ana wen con
ducted and the prisoners well supplied
with good, wholesome ' food," . la the
comment. The city Jail management is

One .important new recommendation
for tha passage of a law restricting the

grand Jurors believe that something
could be done to stOD murders and acci
dental shooting if the' sale of arms and
ammunition to persons under 21 were
prohibited and no sales permitted ex

ty court or county clerk, an accurate
record being kept by storekepers of the
guns that are sold and to whom aold.

Chinese gambling at all haaards and
tha plan is to get the man "higher up."
The owners of bulldlnga occupied by
Chlneaa where gambling ; la known to
have bean going on In the past are to
ba notified, officially, that unlawful
games are . being conducted In their
bulldlnga and that they, too, will ba
held responsible if arreata are made. -
The ooara oeuevea that as long -aa
nothing la done in tha matter except to
arrest the Ignoral 1 Chinamen, gam

if the owners of bulldlnga refuaa to al
low Chinese dens in their premises tha
evil win be arivan out. una decision
waa made at yesterday's meeting of
the board and the ownera of all bulld
lnga occupied by Chinese, especially
wnera gambling is Known to nave ex

are many of these dens along Second

city, and lor yeara tne police nave

they they are not allowed a place in

The - matter waa brought befdre the
board In a letter written by Chief of
Police Clrltzmacher, addressed to Thom
as O. Oreene, In regard to gambling in
the new building on Fourth- street, be

was of the opinion that the ownera
could be proceeded against. Several
raids, he said, had been made on that
place of late and many Chinese arrest

cult for police to make successful raids
tnere because or tne strong barricades
that had been put in with tne building.
The premises are owned bv aha Oam-

Adrian ' McCallman, president, and

by Officer Inskeep. The Dammeler
company is located in the Raleigh build

up and down the street ' with special
tags of enormous slsa fastened to their,
harness. .
The poetofflca formed a- beautiful .
trap for tha tag sellers. Once a victim
started to enter one of the doors of
that institution. It was all off with him. .
There waa no eacape. Tag aellera were
ambuabed SK every entrance and exit -and
hundreds of men had to buy tags
when they entered and when they went
out.
Not Infrequently a man had to buv a
tag at all four ccrnera of a street. One
man atandlnr at tha corner of Sixth
and Alder streets, wearing three or four
tags, was approached by a girl wno nan
a handful of the little green pieces of
pasteboard.
"You're going to buy another tag,
aren't you?" aha asked with a sweet
smile.
"Sure" replied the -victim, reaching
Into his pocket and pulling out a half a
dollar.
"I thought y6U looked easy," said the
girl as she snapped the four bits Into
her pocketbook and walked off without
aavlnr anything about maxing cnange.
The green tags had not been on tha
street more than an hour before au
dacious ones began tearing them from
buttonholea. "Weil, go and buy an
other," was the only consolation given
when the victim . protested, .

In' the morning by two sellers of tags.
Judge Van Zante dispensed Justice with

them stolen. The next time he went

Enough to Clear Off Debt. T
It Is' too early as yet for those in
charge of the "tag day" program to give
any idea as to the amount that will ba
realised from the sale of tags. Mrs.
L. W, Sltton, in charge of headquarters
In the Medical building, however, says
that the reports that are coming in are
most encouraging. "I am confident"
she said, "that we shall raise enough
to clear off the $3,500 indebtedness of
the Baby home."
While she was talking the taa seller
at the corner of Third and Morrison
sent In a rush order for 500 more tags,
and two little girls, not over 4 or 5
years old, came in with a big sack of
silver, partial returns of their sales.
