ADJECTIVE MOVE on GAMBLERS.

Manning's Proposal to Suppress Them
FaiIs-An Unpaid Board Bill.
AT the meeting of the police commission
last evening move was made by Mr..
Manning to have gambling-houses closed.
but no other member supported him and
his motion fell through.
Mr.. Ledgerwood had made motion to
adjourn, which had been seconded by Mr..
Stone. when Mr.. Manning addressed the
chair, saying:
/ move that the board instruct the chief of
police TO enforce all the ordinances of the city.
There was dead silence for twenty sec
onds and the mayor asked:
Does the gentleman wish to withdraw his
motion 10 adjourn?
Again there was silence. The motion to
adjourn then prevailed.
Mr.. Manning rose and said that the
chief was ready and willing to close up all
the gambling houses if the commission
would instruct him to do so.
Mrs. C. Speas, who keeps a boarding
house. went before the board of police
commissioners last evening and petitioned
that Officer I. B. Jackson be compelled TO
pay $45 due for the board of his son, who
is minor. She claimed that the boy
lived at her house over a year. and went
away owing her for nine weeks board.
The commissioners considered the mat
ter to be one in which they had no juris-
diction or even discretion, and advised the
woman TO carry the case to the courts.
The petition was laid on the table indefin-
itely.
Applications for positions on the force
were received from Michael III. Ryan,
James Cave and J. w. Smart.

PEDDLERs MUST NOT "HAwK.'
Judge Rivers Puts a 0uietus on Noisy
Street Vendors.

Alfonso Delieo, an Italian fruit vender,
was fined s. yesterday by Judge Rivers
for ''haw king" his fruit. The arrest was
made for the purpose of testing the mean
ing of the peddiing ordinance under
which the vendors are granted their
licenses
Ali of the fruit vendors IN the city are
supplied with peddiers' licenses. Some of
them put their fruit in wagons and drive
about the city, or stand on the corners. at
tracing customers by shouting and speech
making. Yesterday morning the chief of
police determined to see if he could
not rid the city of them, and Delico, who
was making Rome howl at the corner of
Front and Marion streets, was arrested
and arraigned in the municipal court for
the purpose of testing the law.
Judge Rivers held that a peddler's IL
cense gave the holder the privilege of GO
ing from door TO door and disposing of his
wares in quiet way; that when peddler
goes out ON the streets and shouts out his
wares, he is hawker in the eyes of the
law and must take out an additional
license accordingly
