other than an honorable motive in
their pleading. They will present JUS
tice as they see it. The other part of
the campaign will be conducted by the
carpet-ba gamblers, thieves and
blacklegs who make the race course
their rendezvous in the day time and
the city their field at night.
These men declare that they can
bribe the authorities for immunity
from interference. 1t was openly
boasted on the streets yesterday that
Chris Buckley had been employed to
act as middle man in the campaign
and to offer or accept terms. The
gamblers know of only one weapon to
use, and that is the coin that was
filched to fill their Golfers. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the Board of Su-
pervisors which has acted so cour-
ageously thus far, will continue to the
end in it's crusade for the destruction
Of a terrible evil Members of the
board, as a matter of course, have
heard of the rumors of the street.

them and of those in their favor. a
stand has been taken and a majority

MARIN COUNTY HAS
JOINED THE CRUSADE
People of Sausalito Ask Their Officers
to Follow This City's
Lead.

SAN RAFAEL, March 9.-Taking
their cue from the action of the Board
of Supervisors of San Francisco County
in adopting an ordinance virtually
Gripping the revenues of the Ingleside
racetrack the citizens of Marin County
will make a fresh endeavor to rid them
selves of the poolrooms at Sausalito.
Various legal devices have been tried
to accomplish this object and rid the
county OF an eyesore, but they have all
failed. The last attempt was that of a
citizen named H. II. Noble, who tried
to have the courts pronounce the pool
rooms a nuisance because their pres
ence Injuries the property interests of
Sausalito and the county generally and
because the youth of the community
are corrupted by their association with
a motley horde of gamblers and race
track touts.
From many residents of the "hill sec
ton" of Sausalito and other citizens of
the county have come petitions to Dis
trict Attorney McIsaac to formulate an
ordinance similar to the one adopted in
San Francisco and present it to the
Board Of Supervisors for their adoption.
1t is believed in this way the evil can
be throttled. OF the temper of the
Supervisors there can be no question
All have given evidence of their ami
mostly to the poolrooms at Sausalito
in numerous instances. 1t is stated that
District Attorney McIsaac, in Difference
to the wishes of his constituents, will
formulate such an ordinance and pre-
sent it to the board.

men who are out laugh at this precau-

The strikers blame the whole trouble on
the Vermont Marble Company, and claim
that Ruffino &, Bianchi were drawn into
it by agents of this concern.
The Building Trades Council last night
rendered its moral support to the strikers.
A meeting win be held tonight in the
rooms of the Marble Cutters and a regular
strike committee appointed.
This is the second strike the marble
cutters have had during the past year.
The last trouble was with the Vermont
Marble Company but that firm made its
peace with the union in order that it
might secure a large contract.

through its officers. and by deliberate
official action, has denounced the book
making. pOolselling evil as demoraliz-
ing to the whole community and cor
rupting to clerks and employees of
business men and merchants. The as
sociation, controlling property owners
and possessing their unqualified sup
port, has placed a boycott of wealth
upon booksellers and boOkmakers, fore
ing them, with the might of law to va
cate premises they occupied as nests
of crime
The association has consulted with
the police in an effort to destroy the
terrible evil that has it's source and
maintenance at the race course When
the Merchants Association discovered
that the police were pOwerless to kill
the evil the directors, all merchants of
standing, appointed one of their num-
Der to make it his exclusive business
to wipe out the gambling dens that
thrive and have their being in Ingle
side. Special attorneys were employed
at the expense of the Merchants Asso-
citation to assist the municipal authori-
ties in furnishing offenders.
The Merchants Association did more
than this. Recognizing the far reach
ing effects of the evil that has brought
crime and disgrace, desOlation and
death to so many people in San Fran
cisco, the directors Of the Merchants
Association secured the introduction of
prohibitory bill before the Legislature
at its present session. The official news
paper of the Merchants Association.
ac OJarobaD
Review, declares that horse gambling
and it's attendant evils had reached
such a pass that it has become an alb
soIute necessity to San Francisco to
secure a legislative prohibition.
In this bill the Merchants Associa-
ton would have placed an absolute
ban not only upon bookmaking and
poolselling upon horse races but upon
all contests of whatever sort in which
men or animals engage. The measure
was far more sweeping in it's provi-
sions than that which the Board Of
Supervisors have passed to print But
the Legislature in the exercise of it's
inscrutable judgment saw fit to defeat
the bill. and the Merchants Associa-
ton and all that it represents in this
city, is now forced to fall back upon
the Board Of Supervisors for redress
and relief. The Supervisors will. with
out question, remember this fact when
Mr.. Crocker and his associates appear
before the board next Monday after
noon. 1t will not be forgotten that an
organization, representing the wealth
and the morality of this city. has
fought for nearly year in vain to
kill an evil which the Supervisors with
a single vote may destroy.
Messrs. Crocker, Hobart and An
drous will appear as legitimate prop
erty owners before the board. They
will plead as ones having valued inter
ests at stake and there will be none

They Complete Their Scheme
to Protect Ingleside's
Corruption.
The Supervisors Are on Guard All
Classes Are Joined in the
Struggle to Destroy the
Evil.

The gamblers of Ingleside have now
completed the details of the campaign
in which they hope TO save themselves
and the ill-gotten profits of the race
course from the Legislative prohibition
of the Supervisors. The jockeys, tOuts,
manipulatCrs and sure-thing men Of the
racecourse are up in arms, and they
make no secret Of their promise to use
some money to gain their ends and the
privilege Of preying upon San Francisco
and its PEOPLE. The men that have the
affairs of the racetrack in hand an
nounce that they will spend coin to pre-
vent The final adoption Of the resolution
that was passed to print last Monday
by the Supervisors. This announce
ment is a direct insult TO the officials
who have so far remembered their
pledges and have so acted as honest
officers of the municipal government
as to enact law that means so much
TO the healthy life Of the community.
In reply the gamblers declare that they
will attempt 10 bribe the Supervisors
10 retire in disgrace from the position
they have taken.
This proposed attempt has been so
openly and shamelessly declared that
every gossip on the street knows it,
and the Supervisors have naturally
been made aware of it. In answer they
declare that neither money nor the eX-
ercise of influence. dishonesty used can
induce them to Waver in the stand they
have taken. AS one member of the
board said yesterday: We have the
press, the pulpit. the commercial and
mercantile communities behind US in
our crusade against the crime creating
nest of the racecOurse. We took our
initial action after due deIiberatiCn. We
knew that merchants and business men
were begging for legislative action that
would protect them and save their
employees from the consequences of
temptation at the racecOurse. The aid
of the police and of every Well-meaning
element in the community had been in
voked in vain, and we stepped in to
supply the remedy that so many sought
and none but ourselves could find.
I'VE know that a cry is being raised
in behalf of honest sport, so called.
This cry is a dishonest one, and we
thoroughly understand it as such. The
game that is conducted at InSleside is
neither sport nor honest In abolish
ing this game we are not initiating
against honest sport of any kind We
are simply striving to save the young
men of the city from the offenses that
lead to disgrace and death and the
young women from the temptations
that end in dishonor.
"In such a crusade we cannot afford
TO temporize with so grave an evil It
must be killed, and we are glad that the
The San Francisco call., 1899-03-10

people Of the city understand, as we do,
the seriousness of the situation. We
have taken our stand in the matter, and
our next vote win simply be the regis
ter of our first determination. As we
took our stand only after due delibera
ton, there is nothing in the nature of
just argument that can induce us to
retreat from our position and with the
plea of legalizing and restricting a
sport permit perniciOus scheme of
debauchery to thrive in San Francisco
The foregoing is the opinion of one
of the members of the Board of Super
visors 1t is of significant and timely
interest, because of the fact that the
masters of Ingleside have determined
to carry out a crafty campaign to pre-
serve the crime breeding influences
of the racecourse AS the plan is now
outlined three men will appear before
the Supervisors next Monday to plead
against the final adoption of the pro-
hibitory ordinance. These men viii be
Henry Crocker, Walter Hobart and ex-
Senator Androus.
They will ask the Supervisors to de-
lay final action until representatives of
the raceCourse may be heard. Any al
tentative except the complete prohibt-
tiOn of gambling will be accepted. The
racetrack cannot exist as sport in it
self It needs the savings of honest men
and the thefts of thieves with which
to reward the gambling blacklegs of
other communities that flock to San
Francisco.
The Supervisors will be asked to re-
fer the resolution, which has been
passed to print. to a committee that of
Health and Police, over which an in
teresting gentleman pTesides. The plea
for such action will be that representa-
tives of the racecOurse may then state
their case. It is an old game that
sometimes works with success. After
the resolution, which under the Ordin-
airy process of law would become opera
tive next Monday, has been referred to
a committee the people of the city may
abandon any hope of relief.
Messrs. Hobart, Crocker and Androus
will represent the property interests Of
Ingleside. Many thousands of dollars
have been invested at the local race
! course. The pleaders before the Super
visors will ask for justice as they I'm
derstand the meaning of the term.
When this plea is made however the
Supervisors will remember what has
been done by the local Merchants AS
sociation, Of which Mr.. Crocker is an
honored member
