ONTARIO CAPITALIST AT SALEM T. H. Moore, of Ontario, Is in the city for a few days. He is one of the most successful builders in Oregon having been at Medford four years where he built the Hotel Moors', whch he sold a year ago for $69,000. He has been at Ontario c year a,nd a Half, where he Is building the Until Oregon, a five-story concrete, with pruned brick facings, nearly ' toni- plted, and to be opened April 1.

THE CASES OF FERRIS AND MURRAY TRIED A verdict of. guilty was leluriicl today In the circuit court by the jury In the case of the State- against Albeit Murray, who was charged with nn assault and robbery, being avmc;.l with a dangerous weapon.

Mayor LachmUfHSsSs on the Lid, and Calls on Chief Hamilton Determined that every ordinance on the statute books of the city of Salem shall be enforced Mayor Lachmund has directed a letter to Chief of Po lice Hamilton, defining his attitude on the subject, and calling special atten tion to the ordinances forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquors to intoxi cated persons, or minors, and an or dinance governing the playing of cards for money or for any article representing a cash value, and re questing that he direct his officers to enforce these ordinance and also every other ordinance. The letter was directed to Chief of Police Hamilton yesterday afternoon. and while this action of Mayor Lach mund may come as a surprise (o some It will not be to those who stand closest to him. His views on the subject were well known to the latter during the mayorality campaign and they have been expecting him to take just such' action in the event that the ordinances of the city were not com plied with to the letter. They prob ably expected It would come a little sooner than it did, but the reason for the apparent delay seems to be that Mayor Lachmund wanted to make a few Investigations, and upon conclud ing them he decided that the above course was necessary and adopted it. Saloon Men Violating Ordinnnce. Some time ago Mayor Lachmund ascertained to his satisfaction that saloonmen were violating the ordi nance forbidding the sale of intoxi cating liquor to drunken men. He conferred with some of them Wednes day night and advised them to strict ly live up to this ordinance or arrests would follow. The saloon men called a meeting to consider the mayor's at titude and his position was made plain and It was understood that they would observe the ordinance. Also at the same time lm made it clear to them that all other ordinances with relation to the saloon business must be observed and thin was considered at the meeting, Find Instructions rnliccilcd. Anxious to learn jiwt how much at tention they paid to his Instructions, the mayor decided to do a little de tective work himself. His nnnnrhm- ity came when he saw a large logger In an intoxicated condition wander ing from saloon to saloon.

After investigating the logger's case, another opportunity for further In vestigation came when a drunken man loomed up on the street and en tered a saloon. This man was so In toxicated that he could hardly lift a glass to his lips but for all that, and . despite the fact that this was Just the day after the mayor had given his Instructions with regard to the ordinance, he was given liquor at three places. That settled the matter with the mayor and he made up his mind that the only way to enforce the ordinance would be to give special Instructions to the police and he has done so, and violations will be rigidly prosecuted. Tinhorns Hast Go. While ascertaining to Just what ex tent the saloon men were observing; the ordinance with relation 'to' the sale of Intoxicating liquors, Mayor Lachmund also -decided to make an-' investigatlpn of the card, games run In the saloons and the cigar jtores of thd city. He found that while there Ik: a state law against gambling, that, it mvs .5ciuL uuu Ulttl 1JJ .BpoIUV were making good use ' of the ounor- tunlty afforded them to play in the- saloons and cigar stores to fleece those who have an incllnnt Inn tnr this vice, but who are not adept enough with the cards to hold their own with those who pnraslte-llke live from their skill -with cards. The' method pursued was to let each chip' represent so much money and then at the end of the gume to have the play ers settle among themselves, as ln this manner the skirts of the house' would be clear; and all It seems that the house asked for giving them a privilege to play was that the loser should buy the drinks or tho clears. The mayor upon searching the ordi nance books, found that there wa? contaIr.d upon them an ordinance, not only forblddlnsr gambllne. hut also forbidding the playing of cards for, any article which has a cash value, nnd he decided to request th chief of police to rigidly enforce it. The enforcement of this ordinance will moan, not alono the elimination of gambllug, but also the playing of tContliued on Page 5.) 1 1 ? 1 1 V nH , - .AyAt4 ?
