GUESTS OF E. L. FULLER
Trustees and Directors of the Y. M
G. A. Met at the Scranton Club
Last Evening.

An enthusiastic meeting of the truss
tees and directors Of the Young Mems
Christian assosciation was held last
evening at the Scranton club, the gen.
t:emen present being entertained as the
guests of r. l.. Fuller.
The purpose of the meeting was to
report progress on the canvass for the
balance of the furnishing and equip
ment fund. AS reported last week, a
decision was reached to order no work
done without pledges to guarantee an
amount sufficient to pay for each con-
tract as let.
The secretary was able to report that
during the week an additional amount
was pledged of $5,435 This amount,
with what has been previously re-
ported, was found to be sufficient to
permit of closing up the contract for
the electric lighting plant, the decor
ating of the building and the gas and
electric fixtures These contracts will
accordingly be executed and work will
begin at once.
The work of securing the balance
needed will be rapidly pushed by men
who are not only solicitOus for the
building but themselves heavy givers.
1t is interesting to note that out of
thirty-siX men who have been asked to
contribute within the past three days,
twenty-eight cheerfully responded with
subscriptions, five promised to give
later on to the furnishing fund, and
only three men positively refused to
give anything. A trip through the
building is the strongest inducement to
liberal giving. The secretary will be
glad to act as guide to any one who
would like to know how and for what
his money is being spent.
The letting Of the contracts above
mentioned will greatly facilitate the
opening of the building, and II funds
were in hand now to complete all the
needed contracts. the hearts of the
management, of interested friends, and
of the hundreds of prospective men,
bers would be at rest. Who will come
forward with generous gift to close
up the whole matter.
Two subscriptions of $4,000 are con-
ditioned on getting two other subscrip-
tions of like amount. 1t is these gifts
that thsadirectors are now earnestly
looking for, while thankfully receiving
all gifts, no matter for how small an
amount they NAV be-

A wave Of this sort against open gam
bling is sweeping over Washington,
Oregon and Montana. In Seattle every
open gambling is closed. In Portland
the chief Of police closed all places and
the name occurred IN Pendleton. In
Spokane there are six big gambling
houses that have run ir open and mo-
torious violation Of law for oyer 10 years,
but the gambling fraternity backed by q
liberal element Of citizens have always
controlled those upon whom devolved
the enforcement Of Law. The ministerial
association went after the gamblers, but
some influence. brought them to . stand
still. and it came to naught. Next .
citisen's league tried to root them out,
and proved failure. Then real estate
dealer named Burnham went to county
justice and secured search warrant.
Under the law al gambling parapherna-
liz must be burned when seized. The
warrant was placed in the hands Of
the sheriff's force and when the 10
men nasde the raid not . gambler was
IL sight, NOR q single appliance used in
the house could be found. except three
cane bottom chairs and one spittoon.
Burnham secured another warrant from
county justice, who is by trade an
evangelist. He had 40 gamblers brought
before him and each fined 81 and costs
amounting to IS each. Now Burnham
has secured new batch Of warrants fos
all the houses in the city. He vas re.
fused search warrant by the prosecutors
Public sentiment is in favor Of open

ter Of enforcement is not the same.
