GAMES MUST BIZ CLOSED.
Sweeping Resolution introduced by
Bentley
And Adopted by the Board OF Trus-
tees, Devine Alone Vot.
ing No.

A sensation was sprung last night at
the meeting of the Board of Trustees,
the result Of which will be watched
with some interest
Bentley introduced a resolution re-
quiring the Chief Of Police TO imme-
diately close all gambling games. lot
teries, existing or being promoted in
violation of the law; to sumbit state
ment in writing on Monday night. April
5st, setting forth:
O What games have been suppress
ed since the passage of the resolution
CD what illegal games, if any, are sup
posed to exist, but for any reason what
ever have not been suppressed; 90 why
such games have not been suppressed
(i) what steps are necessary to ensure
closing Of such games and the full and
prompt enforcement of the law; also
that the Chief make similar statements
in writing in his regular monthly re-
ports.
Devine opposed the resolution, say
ing he had hoped that the matter would
be allowed to remain in the same posi-
ton that it was during the former ad-
ministrations, by which the gamblers
were arrested at stated periods and
fined 500. 1t had brought considerable
revenue to the city and he thought it
should be continued.
Bentley said he had talked with De-
vine about the resolutions and the lat
ter had asked him not to present them,
but he believed it his duty to do so.
The law of the State prohibits gambling
and the board has no right to place it
self above the law and allow it to go
on without an effort to suppress it. He
had conversed with q number of busi-
ness men and they all agreed with him.
They complained that their clerks and
boys visited Chinese lottery games and
bought tickets and that it was runous
and led to cases of embezzlement The
board should carry out their oaths Of
office and do their best to enforce the
law.
Devine argued that, although it was
the law, it would be better to do as he
claimed they did in Maine. There is a
liquor law there, he said, but liquor is
sold and about once a year the sellers
are arrested and fined $500, which pro-
duces large revenue
Mckay disputed the statement and
said that when he was in Maine he
never found place where he could get
drink
THAT is because you didn't know
where to CO." said Devine.
Kent said the law should be carried
out, as long as it is on the statute
books and he should vote for the reso-
luton.
Davis said he, too, would vote for it,
as he believed the law should he on
forced.
The resolution was adopted, Devine
alone voting no

Auditor HaIden's Case.

Attorney General Childs has made
a decision in the case OF Auditor
Halden aud the Indictment against
him regarding the tax certificate
matter. County Attorney Arbury
sent statement of the case to the
attorney general and that officer re-
piled as follows regarding the charges
made by the auditor for making tax
certificates:
''Such charge does not in any way
pertain TO his Office, but is a matter
OF concern wholly between him, in
lividualIy. and the party requesting
the certificate: the certificate being
his Individual act, as distinguished
from his official act, he alone is re-
sponsible for an erroneous certificate.
and in no manner holding on his
official bond for such misstatement.
And that. therefore. he may retain
such fee without paying it into the
revenue fund of the county"
This decision of the attorney gener-
| al viii be read With especial interest
at this time as Auditor H;,lden's trial
comes up in Carlton county sometime
this week. Mr.. Halden HIS suffered
much from the misunderstanding re-
garding the certificates and the
euling of the attorney general is very
gratifying to his many friends.
