THE DAILY ASTOHLAJN, ASTORIA, THURSDAY MORNING, ilARCtt 80? 137 ABOUT THE CITY. Maundy Thursday today. One marriage, no deaths, and two births yesterday. Easter costumes will be ruined If this rain doesn't stop In time. A long-needle was abtracted by a surgical operation from C. II. Stock ton's thumb yesterday. The late Chinese cutting scrape Is making serious difficulty among the na tives. The excitement Is spreading. Fishermen and canners are getting ready for the coming season, and In another week matters will be lively. The unconscious salmon are on the way to the slaughter. The new questions for the school com petition are puzzlers. A greater amount of interest has been taken over them than at any time since the be ginning of the contests. A birthday party was given on Tues day night by Master James Easter Welch to a large ' number of young friends. Everybody present spent a merry and enjoyable evening. At the Norwegian Evangelical Luth eran church IXL cannery, Hemlock street, Uppertown, the Lords supper will be celebrated on this Maundy Thursday night, at 7:30 sharp, by Rev. Mr. Nlssen. A novelty will be Introduced Into the Easter services of the Norwegian Evan gelical Lutheran church of this city next Sunday, when the choir will be accompanied, after the old custom, by stringed instruments. If you want some extra tine photos, Mooers' is the place to get them. Young Delllnger was shipped on the Larnaca yesterday, the agent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, of Port land, bidding him good bye and suggesting that a voyage over the sea might bring him back a better lad. E. W. Kuykendall, the undertaker, era balmer and funeral director, has his par-, lors in the Welch block, No. 718, Water street. Call up telephone No. 7.

County and state taxes are now due and payable at the sheriff's office, and will be delinquent the first Monday in April. H. A. Smith, Sheriff. All good citizens are invited to at tend the ball to be given on Wednesday evening, April 6th, at Armory hall. It will be a plain ball, not fancy or full dress, and is given for charitable pur poses.

The pretty little gas launch, Juno, built by Andrew Johnson for John Arn qulst, went put across the bay on her maiden trip yesterday, and made ex cellent time. She is the first craft of the kind ever built in this city, and will be used during the coming season as a tender for the North Shore Packing Company, and also for the transfer of sturgeon for its owner. Her length is thirty-three feet, with a beam of ten feet. She is built on beautiful lines and painted In such a way as to show them off to perfection. There are matters of importance to be considered at the meeting of the W. C. T. U. Thursday afternoon at a quar ter to three. Members are requested to be present. Sheriff Lathrum and ex-Sheriff Mc Lean, of Whitman county, Wash., passed through Portland on Tuesday, having In custody Edward Hill, who is wanted in Garfield for the murder of Langford Summers, committed on No vember 1st. Hill, who is a cowboy, while. Intoxicated fatally Btabbed Sum mers. With Kent Payne and the two McGowan brothers, he raised a disturb ance In Garfield and defied the officers tr. ni him. Summers was called up on for assistance, and was killed while attempting to arrest Hill. The mur derer fled, but his three companions were arrested. He escaped to Phoenix, Ariz., where he was capiurea uu Jailed. A few days later he broke Jail flofl to the mountains, where he was surrounded and captured by the sheriff's posse. The Washington of- fiMni. were then notified, ana Messrs. Lathrum and McLean went to Phoe nix for the murderer, and paid the Ari .na hriff the reward of $1000, which had been offered by the county. Hill will be tried at Colfax. He Is only 23 years old. Dr W.-C. Logan, of this city, has . . A. i..ai. rto-ht In Clat- purcnaseu hod of sop couniy ii u "- - - ni- tth without pain.

' jwi 3, H3 uuij Kcuhuiciil Men Whose Names Carry Weight. Until today The Astorlan has re frained from quoting opinions on the proposed gambling ordinance. A peru sal of the following, however, will con vince the public that the more en lightened citizens do not view the mat ter through the glasses of the Swlll town organ: Mr. C. P. Upshur If the statutes can not be enforced so as to absolutely wipe out gambling, the best thing that can be done is to impose a license that shall be prohibitive, or almost so, and thus abate and keep the evil in as nar row bounds as possible. Mr. W. B. Adair I am opposed to gambling In any form, but I am ready to lend my moral support to any meas ure that "will lessen, if not suppress en tirely, the gambling evil. The city coun- cilmen are elected to office to act for the best interests of the city, and it is for them to adopt the measures which, In their Judgment, seems most likely to gain the desired end. Mr. G. C. Fulton I am in favor of the council licensing gambling. The state for many years' has had laws pro hibiting the evil, but those laws have never been enforced. In nearly all the larger cities throughout the country the' principle of licensing gambling has been adopted, and It seems to me that the police would have better control of the matter than they otherwise would. It would do away largely with the dens where young boys are placed on the road to ruin. 'As to the legal aspect of the case, I do not think there, is any doubt that the legislature can confer upon the city the power to license gam bling. I may add that I am, like The Astorlan, opposed on principle to gam bling, and believe in abating as far as possible an evil that cannot be entirely suppressed. Mr. G. H. George I am opposed to gambling In any form. The state laws should be enforced, but they are not; and inasmuch as such Is the case, I think that any means tending to either suppress or abate the evil would be Justifiable. Mr. G. Wlngate: Would have no compromise made. He was opposed to gambling In any form, and urged the claim that there was a state law against it, In support of his stand. He was reminded of the power conferred upon the city council by the legislature, and replied that "the legislature does not reflect the opinions of the better people of Oregon. "However," he ad mitted, "anything that will do away with gambling and gambling houses, commends Itself to me." Ex-Mayor J. W. Hume: Gam bling is undoubtedly an evil, but one which cannot be done away with, if we may Judge from an experience extend ing over a period of two decades. For that reason I am heartily in favor of re stricting it as far as possible. The end Justifies the means, and if a high li cense will be instrumental in reducing the number of gambling houses, In hav ing games conducted fairly and square ly and in keeping minors away from such exciting pursuits, then by all means let the council take the broad ground that it is their moral duty to assist as far as lies in their power in accomplishing this desirable end. At the present time there are dozens of places in the city where minors are al lowed to,, and do, gamble, and any means would .be justifiable to. prevent such habits being practiced by Irrespon sible youths. Mr. T. O. Trullinger I -am heartily In favor of regulating and abating as far as possible an evil that can not, be suppressed. " Dr. H. W. Strickler Considering the stage of civilization we are In today, my conclusion is that the best way is to regulate the evil by municipal super vision. i - Rev. L. Nissen, pastor of the Nor wegian Evangelic Lutheran church. I am heartily with you In your flghtr. The question opens up Innumerable ideas but I believe that the highest religion today consists in a judicious blending of stern morality and humane common sense. I believe that for over twenty years attempts have been made to sup press gambling here, and with no avail. If we cannot destroy it completely let us not drive It into private byways, but put it under control and keep it within strict bounds. Judge F. J. Taylor: I am thor oughly in accord with your posi tion. It is Impossible to annihilate gambling. ,You cannot stamp it out I believe therefore in bringing It within the light of day and strict municipal supervision. If the moralists knew the ethics of morality the cause is theirs, and they would support it. Diminish and control gambling if you cannot wipe it oft the face of the. earth. Mr. Brenham Van Dusen, when ap proached on the subject, said: "I do not approve of licensing gambling," "Do you not think," asked the reporter, "that if such an ordinance were passed, and resulted in the almost entire sup pression of gambling do you not think, Mr. Van Dusen, that the result would commend itself to you on strictly mor al grounds?" "I am opposed to licensing gam bling," was the equivocal response. And only in that manner would Mr. Van Dusen be Interviewed. Dr. M. M. Walker, upon having pro pounded to him the question submitted to Mr. B. Van Dusen, unhesitatingly answered In the affirmative. Mr. S. S. Gordon, cashier of the First National Bank I should consider" the gambling ordinance only an experi ment, but one well worth trying. Mr. Grant TruUlnger, West Shore Mills Company Gambling is an evil which the state law has failed to sup press, and for that reason I believe the proposition to regulate and abate it by a license, which shall be In effect al most prohibitory, to be a well advised step on moral, even more than on busi ness grounds. . Dr. H. J. Smith was found In a like frame of mind, and while disinclined to express himself freely one way or the other, admitted upon being pressed, that If the evil could be abated, the means would Justify, the end. Mr. E. 'C. Holden, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce I regard the experiment as a risky one, and one that I could not approve of. Mr. W. L. Uhlenhart, who was quoted In the Budget as saying he "didn't think the city would make such a blun der as licensing gambling," said: "I believe in the suppression of gambling, If possible, but If it cannot be stopped, let the city derive some benefit from it." Dr. J. A. Fulton I have long held a strong opinion on the subject. Like saloons, gambling should, I think, be li censed. The saloon is an evil which Is not prohibited by law because the sen timent of the people is averse to such a course. The law, however, regulates what is considered a necessary evil, and gambling should be placed upon the same plane. The ' existence of saloons compels the support of a po lice force, and why, therefore, should not the gamblers be also compelled to bear their '. . share of the ex penses of supporting this force. Gambling is undoubtedly an evil, but if the ordinance licensing it were passed, it would be to a great extent stopped. Many men who have no desire to gamble are led into It in places not recognized as gambling houses, but if those men were compelled to go to a house branded as a gambling den In order to Indulge in gambling, they would never cross the threshold of such a place. Mr. E. R. Hawes:" I do not think in the light of past experience, that the gambling ordinance could be en forced; but if it could, Its effect would, of course, be for good. Mr. J. Ferguson It does not seem juBt that a law should be passed which would prevent all but a few from run ning gambling houses; but on the other hand, admitting that gambling is an evil. It is undoubtedly better to abate It, than to allow it to be run in full blast under such abortive laws as have been on the statutes for years past. J. W. Conn The city council la there to make our municipal laws and the ci tizens will endorse their acts. Let these officers do what in their judgment seems best under the circumstances. Rev. P. Carlson, " pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church: I believe that your way out of the difficulty Is the best In any case your bold stand will cause such a feeling in the com munity that all right-minded people ought to thank you for your efforts. We ought ' to abhor gambling, rightly and properly, but in order to make that ab horrence effective: we must provide a properly regulated pest house for the disease. There is nc; chance of total abolition. " ' Mr. J. B. Wyatt If the state laws cannot be enforced, and if a high li cense will have the effect of abating an undoubted evil, by all means let us have the latter. The question is not, as some suppose, that of placing the seal of municipal approval upon a vice, but of abating If not wiping out en tirely, an evil which the state laws have failed to suppress. Crush It out of ex istence if possible, but If not do the next best thing. .. , Mr. James Laws I want to congrat ulate The Astorlan. on' Its stand on this gambling question. It ,is advocating the right thing. One of the strongest arguments In, favor of the position) it takes Is that the class of men who are making the principal fight against it admit that if the ordinance is passed their occupation will be gone, I am in favor of licensing gambling. It is the only thing to do. '.' .' Mr. G. Van Dusen declared him self In favor of licensing gambling as the best way out of the present difficul ty. . ui Dr.! A. L; Fulton : , The passage , by the council of the gambling ordinance cannot but largely suppress gambling. I am, therefore, In favor of 'Me passage. It is a wise move to make, and one which, on moral grounds,' must b ap proved of by all reasoning people.
