THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE d.
RECTORs LAST EVENING.
Great Increase in tho Demand for
Books-Delfvery Stations Suggested.
The Council Invited to Inspect.
Hours of the Employees.

A special meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Los Angeles public library
was held yesterday to consider the regu-
lar morning business.
Bills to the amount of $44S 90 were ap-
proved and ordered paid.
Miss Kelso, the librarian, reported
that 2l,776 books have. been delivered
during January for home use, 1884 for
use in the reading rooms, 11S0 through
the schools and 1929 reference room
readers; the total being "a, ,SS2. There
were 429 new members added, making
the total membership 1858 to date.
t here were 120 books donated and 432
purchased, making 30,226 volumes in
The library. The constantly increasing
crowds of people who make use OF the
library has taxed the limit of space at
its command, and complaints are made
daily by the public. Something must be
done to relieve the present state of af-
fairs, and the only practicable plan
seems to be in establishing delivery sta
tions for the distribution of books.
Upon motion the report of the lib
rarian was ordered referred to the COM
mittee on administration to confer with
the committee of the city council regard
ing the matter OF more room and some
provision of relief.

The Mayors Orders Regarding Gambling
 BIisconstrued.

It would appear from recent news paper articles that Mayor Bell has decided to permit gambling in the city provided the games are played ill the second, third or fourth story or in the attic of the different saloons, anywhere just so the gambling is not conducted on the first floor.
 Mayor Bell has never issued such an order, and for even the shadow of such an opinion to exist is a refec- tion upon the Mayors administra- ton of the city Government Gamb- ling is q violation os the law, no matter where or under what cireum- stances it occurs, and the violators Of the law are punished by a heavy fine. The impression has gone abroad that the Mayor permits and authorizes gambling, provided it is not carried on on the first floors This is not the case. If any saloon keeper sees fit to have gambling car ried on at his place of business, he can do so on any floor he chooses, but he is required to satisfy the law by paying weekly fine.
 Mayor Bell has never issued an or der that gambling devices should be removed to the second story. His orders were that gambling would not be allowed on the first floor To many this appears as a distinction without a difference. But there is considerable distinction and great difference SIS far as the Mayor and the execution of the law is concerned. To say that Mayor Bell had ordered gambling devices removed to the second floor would leave the impress sion that he would allow and permit it there Let it be known that if gambling occurs anywhere in the city it is punishable by fine, and Mayor Bell always sees that the fines are paid.

Yesterday afternoon Detective Chambers, of Little Rock, passed through the city on board the Valley train having in his charge one of the men supposed to be connected with the Oliphant train robbery, The prisoner would not talk to anyone, seemed sullen and indifferent and would make no reply to any ques- tions asked him. Detective Cham bers had tracked the man to Arkan- sas city, where yesterday morning he arrested him. The man arrested is supposed to be one of the Wack- erly family, who had escaped the vigilance of the officers and fled at night from his hiding place in the swamp near Jamestown.
