NOW WILL HE KNOW?
MayOrSullivanO Officially Informed
that the Tiger" Is Raging.
Council Asks Him to Prevent Minors from
Being Permitted in the DiveS-B0ard
of Public Works Routine.

The Mayor last night received an Official
notification that gambling houses are wide
open. indeed he heard q resolution read In
the Council which was q reflection full or
pity on the weakness he has shown. He
never WINGED under the arraignment. but
he looked very pale and very weary. The
Democratic members tried to dodge the
Issue. but it was presented so squarely by
the Republicans that several of the mem
bers did not dare to vote against the resO-
luton of Councilman Cooper. The resolu-
tion, which was practically q resolution of
censure against Sullivan for his inditfer-
ence to the gambling in the city. was
passed. Ii is as follows:
1t ia the sense of this Council that Mayor Sui
Ivan instruct the Board OF safety TO notify the
gambling houses in the city that they must not
allow minors In their rooms.
This resolution, which Mr.. Cooper intro.
duced. or rather motion, for it partook OF
that form, was seconded by Mr.. Young.
the Democrats had no compunction against
admitting minors. mere boys, into the
to Sullivsn's campaign fund. They tried
to kill the measure. Councilman Golfer
wanted the resolution referred to
the committee on public morals:
q motion could not be- referred
to the committee. Rassmann. who was pre-
siding, in the absence of President Murphy.
said that anything could be referred TO the
committee. Rassmann did not want the
motion TO prevail il he could help it. but he
did not dare to vote against it. The Demo-
Gratis then attempted other tactics. and
sprung IA motion to adjourn. but this mo-
ton could not prevail because Controller
Wooilen was there with his report and his
estimates. The Democrats were In a box.
and Nh. Young was insisting that the mo-
| ton of Mr.. Cooper be put to o vote and the
ha .
The motion TO refer to the committee or
public morals had TO be put first. The vote
stood as follows:
Ayes-Colter. Habeney, Ryan. Schmidt.

| Casper, HallOran. Rassmann, Whites.
Then came the vote direct on Mr..
C0oper's resolution. The following are
the Democrats who refused to ad wise that
minors be kept out OF Mayor Sulliyan's
bosses gambling houses:
Golfer, Ryan, Schmidt, Schrader.
All the Republicans and the Democrats
| other than those named above voted for
the resolution. The folio wing are the
Democrats who passed this vote of censure
against the Mayor and his Board of Safety
for allowing children In the gambling
houses:
Froschauer, Habeney,H alloran, Rassmann and
White.
Mayor Sullivan stood in the doorway of
| the Council han Der as this resolution OF
censure was read. Now he knows officially
that gambling is being carried on in lndl-
annapolis. like In no other CITY OF the
country, for they allow children In the
gambling houses run under the protection
of Thomas l.. Sullivan. One OF the Demo
cratic members made q sneering remark
about the resolution being offered for
political effect after the meeting wes over.
Councilman Cooper turned around and
faced every man in the room. He did not
know who it was that made the re-
mark. His brows grew dark. The man
that said / introduced that resolution for
political effect. or says that | am in this
crusade on account of politics. tells a
ID lie." And the man that made the
remark did not have q word TO say.
Councilman White introduced an ordi-
nance last night changing a section OF the
present vehicle ordinance. His proposed
ordinance, which was referred. provides
that the license fees TO be charged public
wagons and other vehicles shall be as fol-
lows: Tso-horse omnibus. IS O year; hacks.
81; cabs. 81; four-horse wagon. 81; two
horse wagon. 50; one-horse wagon. 81; two.
horse dray. 81: one-horse dray. 81.
MI. Young during the evening wanted to
know what had become of Councilman
kyan's ordinance that he was so anxious
to have passed. This particular ordi-
nance was the one taxing telegraph and
telephone companies on poles. For some
particular reason the gentlemen who were
in such a hurry to pass the ordinance have
changed their minds. The telegraph conn.,
pany has no great amount OF influence TO
use IN defeating the ordinance, but the
ordinance seems TO be dying O natural
the city attorney now had the ordinance
and was working on IL. The ordinance was
sent TO him some time ago. and as the city
pays hin $4,000 n year, it Is presumed that
he Is giving some attention TO the city's
business.
