WHAT THE ToILERs SAY.
Trades Union Men as Unit Indorse
the Action of Supervisors.

1t is safe to. say that no class of
people is more highly elated at the vic
tory over the gamblers of Ingleside
than the workingmen of this city.
The quarterly high jinks of Carpen-
ters Union No. 4S3 brought a large
number of laboring men together and
the racetrack question was the general
subject of the side conversation. 1t
was not regularly brought up. 1t could
not be at a gathering where dull care
was to be thrown aside and merriment
to hold sway, but, like the imp in the
bottle, it could not be kept down.
There was no two opinions on the
subject All were glad that the bill had
passed. Every place in the city where
a group of laboring men could be found
together the action of the Supervisors
was commented upon and commended.
At the hall of the Labor Bureau Asso-
citation it was the one topic of CONVEX
sation around the chess boards, at the
cigar counter and the billiard tables.
Every word uttered was a word Of
praise for the men who were not afraid
of the combined gamblers and honestly
stood up for the good of the community
in the face of the open threats set af1oat
by the racetrack men.
In other places where union men, and
men who work hard for their daily
bread congregate nightly the same
state of affairs was noticeable. Numer-
Gus tales of the track were told-here a
friend had fallen, there the tale of a
disgraced public official was recounted
and occasionally direct personal expe-
riences and family skeletons were
trotted out to public view.
The workingmen, however, as a class,
have for once taken a firm stand
against altogether outside trade rules"
and routine business" They were on
the winning side and they are proud
of

Enforce the New Ordinance
NJ


1T will enforce the ordinance pro-
hibiting gambling on horse races at
Ingleside track, which was passed
yesterday afternoon by the Board of
Supervisors, to the full limit of the
law" said Chief Lees when seen last
night "When a new ordinance is
passed by the board it is customary
to notify me Immediately after it is
signed by the Mayor. I presume
the clerk of the board will serve me
with a copy of the ordinance to-mor-

instantly to see that every provision
of the new law is carried out. Any
bookmaker who attempts to disobey
the ordinance will be arrested imme-

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
COUNTY GOVERNMENT BILL

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 13.-It looks dark ahead
for the unfortunate measure known as
the county government bill. 1t came up
like Banquo's ghost twice to-day-once
this morning, when 1t was put over I'LL
this evening, and again this evening
when it was put over again till to-mor-
morrow morning. This evening there was
no talk over the bill and 1t was quietly
slipped on to another day without causing
a ripple on the legislative pond But
this morning it was different. The bib
was a special order for this morning, and
when it came up for consideration there
were several Senators waiting lot IL With
Morehouse raised the trouble by moving
that the bill be-made a special order for
s o'clock this evening. rms orougns
that then was as good time as any 10

any longer without the serious and PROB
ably fatal consideration of the Senate.
Dickinson suggested that IL was late IN
the session and nobody wanted the coun-

any way there was no use wasting time
Senator Morehouse was the only one to
defend the measure. 1t is child or the
iofnt Committee on County Government
from the Senate and Assembly. over
which Morehouse presides, and mis- vloce
was naturally raised in its behalf. He
wanted the Senate to postpone action on
the measure. for if it were taken up and
killed it would work much injustice 20
many Senators whose bills on county
matters had been embodied in the county
government act and would be. carried
down in its fall. He said he would be
unfair to many of his colleagues If he
stood aside and left the bill to its fate
without word.
So effective was this talk that action
on the bill was postponed. but only after
a roilcall had been demanded Then the.
Senators relented and this was the result

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, March 13.-Ex-State Senator
Androus, president of the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club, was seen at his hotel in
this city this evening and told of Chief
Lees declaration that he would place
under arrest any one who tomorrow
should make book or sell pools at In
gleside track or other resort in San
Francisco. He was asked what action
he as president of the association would
take in the matter.
He replied: This has all come about
so suddenly that we have made no
plans; we have had no time exactly to
figure our position. In fact, I have
come up here to think.
1--WE did not expect the action taken
by the board to-day. We thought we
knew last night, as far as that is con-
cerned, that this was going against US.

Suspected Murd.rer aoss prs..

An Ardmore dispatch Of recent date
says L. 4. Spotwood who has been In
Jail since July charged with murder
committed In Butler county, Mo-. 30
years ago, has been set free and is now
on his way to his home in Oklahoma
The crime OF which Spotwood was
suspected created a vast amount Of
interest in central Missouri just before
the war. James wcstbrook of Butler,
NO, was shot and almost instantly
killed for rcscnting tho attention Of
another man to his wife. The murder.
er was arrested, convicted and sen.
fenced to be hanged. A day or two
before the execution he escaped and
his dcady body was supposed TO have
been brought back to Butler by his
brother in 1874. The body was never
identified by the people OF Butler.
however, and II was the general opin.
ion there that the murderer was still
alive and at large.
Last July an old Butler resi- dent
travelling in Oklahoma ran across
spotwood, whom he positively idenii.
fled as the slayer Of Wcstbrook. After
the arrest which followed. many pco-
pie from Missouri visited spotwood in
his cell at Ardmorc and while only a
few were positive he was the man
wanted many others denied they had
ever seen him before Added to this q
dozen witnesses swore they had known
Spo, wood in Texas before the war and
several served in the army with him.
Judge TOWNSEND WAS SO positive
Spotwood was not the Missouri muir
dcrer after the testimony Of the wit.
nesses that he issued an order OF re
lease before the trial had been set.
The case had attracted wide attcn.
tion not only in Oklahoma, the Indian
Territory, but also in Kansas and
Missouri.

told me that every five or six years he
