OBEYED THE ORDER.
Nickel in the Slot Machines
Have Been Put on the
Shelf
Saloon Keepers and Cigar Men Are OF
the Opinion That the Machines
Must Go.

The order which was issued by Chief
Lees Saturday evening TO those who owned
nickeI-in- the-slot machines, stating that
that they must be suppressed. seems to
have accom- piished the purpose. A few
who had the machines have not as yet re-
moved them from the public gaze, but it
is evident that they are aware that the
order means bu iness and that sooner or
later the little gam bling devices must be
put on the shelf, there to await "better
days"
Some who have not complied with the
order of the Chief of Police are evidently
awaiting arrest as it is probable that they
will fight the case.
Some make the contention that
machines have been fitted out with a full
deck, or fifty-two cards, and that they are
consequently not q lottery, ut just where
this arrangement lodges the law is hard
! to determine and will possibly bs taken to
the courts.
However, the scarcity OF machines on
the saloon na-s and cigar counters was
very noticeab b. e last evening and it is evil
dent thai the men are little frightened
and are awaiting for some other party to
test the case, as it is known TO be a rather
expensive luxury to test an order of the
authorities.

LIKED POKER
MUCH ZOO WE'LL
Three Policemen Preferred
the Festive Game to
Their Duties.
Hill; Hall and Hutchins Will
Appear Before the Com
missionerS.
Suspended After Being Caught Red
Handed in Convenient
Saloon.

Police Officers John Hill, Hiram Hutch
ins ana Joseph Hall have been suspended
by Captain Whitman pending an investi-
CATION by the Police Com missioners.
They are accused OF engaging in the fes-
tive game OF poker instead of patrolling
their respective beats.
Recently a com plant was made to Cap
tain Whitman that the accused officers
were in the habit of neglecting their
duties for the great American game OF
poker. 1t was claimed that they would
nightly meet in North Beach saloon
contiguous 10 their beats and engage in
game OF draw
Shortly after II o'clock Saturday night
Sergeants Cook and Wolwebber, acting
under instructions from their SUPERIOR
officer, visited the saloon in search of the
gay policemen. Seated at a table were
the three officers playing 4 game of poker.
Hill, who is said to te an expert poker
player, held a full hand on aces. Not
withstanding the approach of the two
sergeants, he offered to bet his pile"
tba he mad the top" hand.
81 think we have you skinned" re-
marked Cook, as he and Wolwebber ap-
peared in full view of the astonished
plavers "Clubs are trumps this time"
Hill was too surprised for utterance and
he contented himself with gazing low
ingly on the hand that wasn't played.
The other policemen remained silen.
and tossing their "hands" in the center of
the table, started to leave the place. Cook
informed them that they had committed
serious breach of police discipline and
Informed them that they would have 10
answer for their conduct to Captain Witt
man.
Yesterday afternoon the accused officers
we're summoned before Captain Whitman
and at once suspended. They will have
chance to explain their conduct before the
Police Commissioners at their meeting
next Wednesday evening.
Hall is one of the best known men in
the department He mas been on the force
for nearly eighteen years, anu has an ex-
cellent record. Hill was appointed to the
force about four years ago, and has made
several i'm portant captures. Hutchins
Is known as the terror OF the Tender
loin." Fer several years past his beat has
been in the Teuderloin district, and he was
a terror to evil doers. For some reason he
was SHIFTED" and another officer given
his beat.
1t is understood that the three officers
will plead guilty to the charge, and throw
them selves on the mercy OF the Commits
sioners.

The supreme court has filed with the
governor an answer to the question as 10
the validity of the investigating committee
and the appropriation for same. The
court holds that as the commission
has been appointed and as tue commission
has taken action, il is in shape TO come be-
fore the court in regular order and have
the matter tested OH full hearing; that
the question submitted is one which mgh,
affect other important interests, and as the
court has in the past declined TO take action

IT must at the present time take the same
position and cannot give an opinion on the
