ALL SLOT MACHINES CALLED IN.
Gambling Devices TO Be Suppressed
Charges Against Their Lessees.


The raid on the Neutrality-suspicious. ma
chimes. started on "Wednesday at the inst-
CATION OF Robert Moran, resulted yester-
day in the issuance OF an order by Chief
Rogers 10 all officers TO call in every ma
chine, no matter what the device may DC.
The chief made the order sweeping. so as
TO cover all classes, thus doing away with
any complaint that may be made by those
whose machines come under the head Of
gambling devices. None OF the machines
are owned outright IN the city. but are
leased on a certain percentage, and ma
jority, IL not all, are sure winners. 1t has
become common throughout the city for
crowd OF jewellers to amuse themselves
by play ng these chance arrangements,
getting in return for their money drinks
or cigars. Sometimes piece OF lead, the
exact weight OF a nickel Is ''rung in,' ana
the unfortunate proprietor cheated out OF
his wares.
Mr.. Moran appeared in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon and swore 10
complaints charging Jane and Martha. Win
chester and the Laubscher boys with run
ming n!ckel-in-the-siot machines, and ac-
cepting the money of minors. These are
two OF the places at which Young Moran
played of his money. Detective Philbgick
made the first seizure under the chiefs or
der during the afternoon in Jane Taylor's
store, on the corner OF Washington and
South Third streets. These, with the ones
arrested or Wednesday, make FIVE arrests,
as follows: Nicholas George. Andrew MI
kulicich, James Winchester, Harry Laub-
scher and Isaac Taylor. The eases are
similar. ana in order to expedite matters
and lessen the expense. Judge Glasgow VII
set all the cases today for the same date.

Wednesday. changed MS plea 10 not Suil-
ty yesterday, and viii make fight
A similar crusade was started IN san
Francisco a short time ago, which result
ed IN the pass--e OF an ordinances licensing
the machines. There are SO many differ
ent kinds of these light gambling devices
in use IN the city that 1t would be difficult
TO explain them. In some the nickel Is
dropped in from the top onto lot OF
steel pegs. and ia deposited in slot in the
bottom that either calls for a blank or en-
titles the player TO s. 10. Il or - cents

Antonio Ramona, aged 50 years, who
goes about the city at night with candles
praying in front of churches, and who i'm
agines that he is a little" baron, was
committed to the insane asylum yesterday
afternoon By Judge Langley. Ramona
imagines that It Is his duty to pray at
all times, and whenever he meets a person
he bows low and kisses his hand. Just as
soon as he was taken before Judge Lang
ley yesterday he insisted on kissing his

A NcM President.

The annual meeting of the Washington
Auxiliary of the Women's National Indian
Association was held in the red parlor of
the Ebbitt House at the usual hour yes
terday morning.
With very great regret the ladies were
Obliged to accept the resignation of their
able president, Miss Kate Foote. now Mrs.
Judge Coe OF Meriden. Conn. She was ex-
pected to be present, but was detained
from coming to this city with her husband
as they had planned to do in February
by the serious illness of the latter.
The first vice president, Mrs. a. G. VIII
kinson, was unanimously elected to the
Office of president. The other officers were
reelected.
Gen. Whittlesey, secretary of the board
of Indian commissioners, was present and
gave an address. assuring the society that
all possible aid would be rendered to the
Navajoes as soon as the appropriation bill
should be passed. a strong desire was cx-
pressed that this should be done as speed
lily as possible.
