Resolved, That the Chief of Police
and his deputies be, and they are
hereby required to enforce Section
As, of the city ordinances on Often
ces, as long as said ordinance re-
mains the law of this city unrepeaI-
ed; and further, that he shall not
wait until individual citizens make
affidavits before performing this
duty for which he was elected, mas

him.
Resolved, That the Chief of Police

meeting of Council whether the slot
machines, the owners or Iessees of

/. There was no business before the
First Branch, and Mr.. Waterhouse sent
to the desk and had read by the Clerk,
the following petition and accompany
ing resolution. which latter is given
above:
To the Honorable Mayor and the members
OF Council OF the City of Wheeling, Ohio
Your petitioners, the undersigned citi-
Zens of said city, beg leave to call youi
attention to a matter of vital and far
city. 1t is an undeniable fact that a gam
bling device, known as the slot machine, "
has been, and, we have reason to believe
is now in operation in OUT city. The city
ordinances a against gambling sufficient IN
cover this device in the following Ian
guage:--
whatsoever to keep or exhibit Within this
city, any table, instrument, device of thing
used for the purpose of gaming, or on, by
or with which money or other articles may
be lost or won; or to keep within the city
any games of chance or skill by or al
which any money or other article OF value
may be lost or won; nor shall 1t be lawful
for any person to keep a room, building
arbor, booth, stand shed, tenement, water
craft or float, or to rent the same to be
used or occupied for the. exhibition or
vice or thing, or for the playing therein OF
thereon of any such game Ordinance on
Offences, Sec. AZ.
ance fully covers the slot machine as a
gambling device. Furthermore the police
department. so interprets the law in the
case and has been in the habit of pull
ing the keepers of said machines, and
they are fined in the Police Court as viola
tors of this ordinance.
Your petitioners, with many other citi-
zens addressed a most respectful state
ment TO the Mayor and to the Chief OF
Police of our city, calling attention to the
existence and operation of these machines
in our city. and to the great increase in
their number since they were pulled" in
June last; and subsequently, through a
committee we personally called upon the
Chief of Police TO enforce the ordinances
against the slot machine, but thus far he
fails so to do.
The question is therefore clearly and
plainly made by the non-action in this
matter of the Chief of Police and his depu-
ties whether the officers chosen and paid
to enforce the ordinances passed by Coun-
ell, the law-makfng power in the city, can
thus disregard their own duty and your
enactments, by permitting the continuance
of the operation of these forbidden gam

Mr.. Waterhouse made a preliminary
statement that the petition was signed
by forty taxpayers. five for each ward,
and that the forty pay one-fourth of the
taxes of the entire city. He moved
to adopt the resolution.
Mr.. Knoke promptly moved to lay on
the table, and before the motion was
seconded, Mr.. Waterhouse moved to
adopt, Mr.. Williams seconding the
notion
Mr.. Chew offered as substitute the
following, which was seconded by Mr..
Scally:
Resolved, That we, the members OF
Council of the city of Wheeling, have
the utmost confidence in the ability Of
the Mayor and Chief of Police to en-
force the ordinances Of the city, and
pledge ourselves to enact any addi-
tional, legislation to assist them, that
may be deemed necessary.
Mr.. Waterhouse arose and said:
"It is well-known fact that the
Chief of Police will not enforce the
city ordinances. 1t was the same thing
about a year ago, when offered a res
olution instructing the Chief to enforce
the dog ordinance. The chairman or
the committee made motion to lay
the matter on the table. That ordl-
nance has never been enforced. I don't
believe the Chief will enforce the ordi-
nances unless he is ordered He can
look out of his. Office window on Sun
days and see men going in and out OF
a corner saloon, and I,believe he knows
that every saloonkeeper sells on Sun
day"
Mr.. Chew-FMr. Waterhouse Is en-
tirely mistaken If he refers to me as
the chairman of the committee who
made the motion to lay his matter on
the table. I merely offer my resolu-
ton as a substitute to get the senti-
ment of Council. After that ann will
ing to consider anything they may
have to offer. I hardly think it good
policy to threaten or intimidate any
officer who is sworn to do his duty, in
order to compel him to do his duty
Mr.. Waterhouse-' Everybody knows
that the Chief of Police was violating
his oath when he pulled the slot ma
chimes one day, and knew they were
going next day and did not pull them
again. If he won't do his duty we
ought to get rid of him."
The ayes and noes were called upon
Mr.. Chew's substitute, which was
defeated by the following vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Chew, Knoke, McCor-
mack and Scally-4.
Noes-Messrs Baird, Beuter, Cart
ley, List, Meyer, Waterhouse and Will
iams-7.
The original resolution by Mr.. Wa
terhouse was then adopted by vote
of to 6.

Branch chamber. The crowd followed
When the business under considera-
ton was finished. the slot machine
matter came up. When Clerk OBrien
finished reading the petition and reso-
luton, Mr.. Radcliffe moved to lay on
the table indefinitely. Mr.. Killeen de-
manded the ayes and noes. The motion
was carried by vote of Is to IL.
Disappointment was plainly pictured
on the faces of the ministers as they
left the Council chamber. Later one
of them who was asked for an ex-
preston by Register reporter, said:
"It was the saloon element that de-
feated us tonight. I hardly know what
to say. I don't know what we will do
now"

FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN.
Committee Drafting Bill to Reduce
Wal Taxes.

Washington, Nov. 23-Chairman
Payne and Representatives Dalzell and
Hopkins, acting as a subcommittee,
spent a portion of the day drafting a
bill to amend the war revenue law.
The general provisions of the bill have
been agreed upon. The reductions to
be made will be in the stamp taxes,
as heretofore indicated. A member
of the committee said today that al
though there was some discussion CON
corning reductions upon cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, there did not
seem to be any inclination to reduce
the present tax on these articles, SO
long as there remained stamp taxes,
which he said, were obnoxious to
everyone using them.
Although it is generally understood
that there is a very complete UNDER
standing among the members Of the
committee as to. what changes shall
be made, it in understood that no from

Politician Impersonates Federal Officer
with Disastrous Results.

Indianapolis, Nov. 23-The federal
grand jury today reported four indict-
ments against Jesse Weik of Green
Castle, a prominent Republican politi-
clan and one Of the authors of Herndon
and Weik's Life Of Lincoln" %
In the first Of three counts, Weik is
CT arged with defrauding railroad COM
panies by impersonating a United
States officer; the fourth count being a
separate offense. The fourth count is
most serious, however, and charges
him with forging the name Of Post
master General Charles Emery Smith
to credentials as postoffice inspector,
which he used in d%efrauding the rail
road companies.
Weik was a p%ostoffice inspector for
several years during Harrison's admin
%istration. His first credentials as in
spector were issued June l, 1891, and
were signed by John Wanamakcr.
These credentials are used by in
spectors in their trips about the coun-
try and Weik, it is said, continued to
use his after he had left the govern
ment service in 1894.
Some weeks ago it was reported to
the department that Weik was using
such a pass and inspector Hart was
put on the case. He discovered Weik

APPEAL FOR
Governor Sets Forth Some of It's
Urgent Needs.

Washington, Nov. 23-The annual
report of Governor John G. Brady of
Alaska to the secretary Of the interior
urges congressional legislation on the
extension of the general land laws to
Alaska, giving the natives the same
legal status as the whites and repre-
sentation of Alaska by a delegate in
congress. The report says that at
Cape Nome everything and every
body is pell-mell. There are several
claimants for each town lot, beach
claim and creek claim, and fully
25, 900 people are waiting for action
of the court there"
Despite the recent legislation of
congress creating additional courts
and a new code Of laws, the whole
southern coast, from Unalaska to
Yakutat, is without protection.
Within this area the population is
very considerable and property inter-
ests will amount to millions of dol
lars. Another court is urged, to be
established, either at Valdez or
Kodiak. The Indian natives OF Alaska
are chatting under their present state
and aspire to citizenship. The COVER
nor says there should be equal rights
and opportunities for all in the terri
tory.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE CAUS.
ES LIVELY SCENE.
A QUESTION OF LOCALITY
Irrigation Congress Splits on Mat
ter Of Place for Holding
Next Session.

. Chicago, Nov. 23-Trouble arose in
the meeting of the national irrigation
congress this afternoon when the re-
port of the committee on permanent
organization was reached.
All parts Of the report were accept
ed, save that portion which recon-
mended that a meeting Of the congress
be held next spring at Colorado
Springs and the annual meeting later
in the year at Buffalo, N. Y. A dozen
delegates arose to their feet to protest
when this was read and loudly voiced
their protests. They desired that the
annual meeting be held at Colorado
Springs and the secondary affair at
Buffalo. They claimed that a major
ity Of the men who would attend the
annual meeting were residents of the
west and that they should not be COM
PEELED to go as far as Buffalo.
The discussion lasted over an hour
and waxed warm at times, and finally
on the request of Mr.. Booth of the or
ganization committee that part of the
report relating to the place of holding
the next annual meeting was referred
back to the committee with instruc-
tions to report tomorrow morning.
At the night session Thos. f. Walsh
of Colorado was the first speaker, his
theme being, "Gold and Silver Mining
and the Markets they Affect John
F. Ella Of Chicago followed with a
short address, GA Forest of the Flu
ture." Ella dwelt entirely upon the
future of the country when a large
part Of the arid lands shall have been
reclaimed and asserted that formation
of the tree lands into small farms was
to be one of the great sources Of the
wealth of the country in the time to
come.

TALKS ON ARMY BILL
NEW MEASURE DISCUSSED BY
CHAIRMAN HULL.
Has Conference with President-Says
Latter Will Consent to No
Makeshift Legislation.

Washington, Nov. 23-Chairman
Hull, Of the house committee on mill
tary affairs, today called a meeting of
the committee for next Tuesday. He
hopes that a quorum will be present
and that the committee can go to work
Immediately upon the outlines of the
new army bill. "It will be in the
direction of economy to pass the army
bill without delay" said Hull today.
1.-The army now in the Philippines
will have to be brought home in the
summer, that is those Of the men who
don't care to re-enlist. The trans
ports which go out for them should
depart laden with troops who are to
replace them, else the ships will make
one voyage empty"
Hull was in conference today with
the president and with officials of the
wal department upon the character of
the legislation desired by the admins
t%ration. He said the president will
communicate to congress very fully
his recommendation about the army
and he did not assume to speak the
presidents mind in advance. He
thought, however, that the admins
tration would not be content with any
makeshift legislation and will enter
tain no proposition to continue the
present law for two years more. His
impression was that the president
wanted authority to raise a regular
army sufficient for the needs of the
country, 100, 900 men if necessary, the
number to be reduced when there was
no longer need for them.
Hull also said the Taft commission
had reported that 10, 900 Filipinos
could be enlisted Immediately in an
army for the Philippines and that they
would make good soldiers under
American officers. There was no fear
of a repetition of Great Britain's ex-
p%erience with the Sepoys.
