why Mr. Thompson Talks Harmony

Lewis A. Thompson, by the grace of
John William Griggs occupant of the lu-
cratiye Office OF Clerk in Chancery, and
by his own Imagination Republican leader
of Somerset, is talking for publication
and very sweet and honied are his words.
sIt's a mistake to believe the Republic
cans of Somerset are quarrelling," ne said
recently to a Trenton newspaper man.
ssyhy. we are all brothers in a common
cause and we will elect a Republican
Senator without the shadow of a doubt
and then Lewis A. beamed on the news
paper men as he used to beam on the
aides when he was in business in Somer-
set.
Mr.. Thompson has not always talked in
these honeyed accents. In fact it was not
more than a month ago that Mr.. Thomp-
sons remarks about the situation IN
Somerset were favored with NORWOOD
and gall. The mere mention TO him OF
Senator Reeds name was sufficient TO
wrinkle his brow and cause him to frown
as he used to when he found half of his
spring stock on his hands in the fall The
cause of the great change is attributed
to that rugged old Republican war horse,
General Seweli.
When the Sage of Camden sailed for
Europe a few days ago one OF the most
conspicuous of the many beautiful floral
tokens which ancumbered his state room
was one bearing the card of Mr.. Thomp-
son. 1t was good to look upon and at
fractea much attention. When the many
friends of the General began to crowd
about him upon the steamer to bid him
rood-bye. wish him bon voyage and all
that, conspicuous in the front rank was
Mr.. Thompson and one or two gentlemen
of his faction, all smiles and scrapes,
bobbing their heads and extending their
hands to be shook by the great man OF
West Jersey. They were all expectancy
and the thermometer Of their hopes was
somewhere in the neighborhood of fever
heat. With the flowers and the prestige
Of having carried an election or two, n
seemed to believe that the General would
say something which would completely
squelch the opposition Of Senator Reed.
Their hopes dropped to the zero point
when they saw the General. His face
wore that awfully dignified look which
always denotes that the General is "agin
you,- and means that you need ask no
favors. He took Mr.. Thompson's out
stretched hand. bowed as an emperor
might bow at a presentation. thanked
him for his beautiful flowers and hoped
that he was well.
1t appears that Mr. Thompson could NOT

tended over period Of several months
Mrs. Rodgers, on account of his habitual
intemperance, discarded Nagle, and that
his suit was brought in spirit of vim
dictiveness.
Il became engaged to Nagle early in
June" said Mrs. Rodgers. "He gave me
an engagement ring. After a while he got
TO drinking heavily. and I determined to
have nothing further TO do with him. AS
for the ring, I have not got IT any more.
One evening as I was returning from
work I saw Nagle near my home in a
beastly state of intoMcation. He was
leaning against a church. When
I perceived him 7 began to run,
drawing off my gloves as I did so. The
next morning 1 found I had lost the ring.
That same evening, after I got home,
Nagle came to the house and raised a
terrible rumpus He demanded admission
and when it was refused him he got down
on his knees in the middle OF the street
and wildly screeched that he was promi-
nent attorney, that he loved Nellie Rod

Of Corrigan's followers is now to have
some member of the Board of Super
visors introduce an amendment to the
resolution which has already been
passed to print.
The purpose Of this amendment will
be to delay the adoption of the original
resolution, if nothing else is possible.
The amendment will have to take the
same course as the original resolution
and time at least will be gained by the
gamblers. Every effort will be made
to do more than this and to neutralize
the effect Of the new ordinance by
saddling upon it some substitute.
Some Of the gamblers were boasting
yesterday that they had found a mem
ber of the board who was willing to
act as their catspaW in the matter.
Members Of the board were interviewed
yesterday and all declared emphatically
that the report circulated by the track
manipulaters is utterly without founda-
ton Every member who voted for the
resolution declares that he will supple
ment his first vote with another which
will make the resolution law.
The Supervisors feel that the people
Of the city are looking to them to be
freed from a great evil and nothing
can intervene to prevent the fulfillment
of the trust. The gamblers Of Ingle-
side. so members Of the Board of Su-
pervisors say, will not be allowed to
buy the privilege Of debauching San
Francisco.
In this resolution the Supervisors
may congratulate themselves upon the
hi nd
decent element in the city. Ministers
of every denomination will speak from
their pulpits in advocacy of the new
law. Merchants and tradesmen of all
classes will give support to a measure
that is a protection to them and safe
guard to their employees The city Is
thoroughly aroused and the people Will
give every announcement In their
power to their representatives.
The gamblers have already attempt
ed to blackmail some tradesmen into
an expression of protest to the scheme,
but the plan fortunately has failed.
The masters of Ingleside will have to
migrate, therefore, to Emeryville and
share with the gamblers of Oakland
the profits of a restricted field or fight
q hard battle in the courts. Neither
prospect is a cheerful one. The Oak
land contingent does not like its con-
tract to share it's crime-nest with the
Ingleside people Victims are not so
plentiful that they may be willingly
shared. The Oakland schemers would
prefer, therefore, to see the 1ngleside
people stay where they are.
If the controversy is carried into the
courts there is every reason to believe
that the new ordinance will be sus-
tanned as constitutional. 1t is general
in character and operates against no
special class. 1t Is within the legitt-
mate police power of the Board of Su-
pervisors and is justified by many de-
cisions of the Supreme Court. This Is
now the situation In reference to the
new ordinance and there will be no
change until next Monday afternoon.
when the Board of Supervisors will
again vote upon the ordinance. The
members know that every effort Will be

They Are Determined to Retain
Their Evil Grasp Upon
the City.
Supervisors Are Warned That an Effort
Will Be Made to Debauch
Them.

?TNHB gamblers Of Ingleside do not
intend to be driven without a strug-
4 gle from their nest OF evil at the
racetrack. They are determined to
fight as they fought before. and no Sc
cret is being made of the fact that their
weapon viii be money. Corrigan and
his fellows realize that they have no
legitimate argument to offer in their
own behalf, and they have no scruples
in resorting to any artiflce that viii
help them to continue their degenerate
and demoralizing substitute for sport
at Ingleside.
A day after the Supervisors passed to
print the resolution prohibiting book
making and poolselling the gamblers
declared that they would migrate to
Oakland. The contract made by the
managers of both racetracks made 1t
possible for the local manipulators TO
fasten their burden of crime and dis
grace upon the people of Oakland. In
pique, therefore, the racehorse contin-
gent of this city announced that they
would go 70 the track at Emeryville.
The announcement had the effect
which the gamblers did not expect. The
prospective annihilation Of Ingleside as
it is now conducted was welcomed as
q relief from a terrible evil. People Of
every class were eager to express their
conamendation. Corrigan and his as
sociates discovered very quickly that
their presence in San Francisco was
not wanted. Certain classes of citizens
from whom the racing surething men
expected some support were unit in
praising the Board of Supervisors for
its action. Men In every condition in
life welcomed the change that means
so much to the welfare of the city.
