GAMBLING PETITION
Ministers Secure Signatures of Business Men
to Request that Bill Be Passed By
the Legislature.

w. w. Tolman and Senator Fl. d.
Grow.
Thousands of names could have
been secured had we been given more
time. In our round we found many
names had been signed to the petition
opposing the gambling law through
a misrepresentation; and some Of the
men whose names are on the original
petition have sent kilograms asking
that their names be stricken OFF, and
put on our petition instead
The petition opposing the gambling
bill was circulated by Howell w.
Peel of Holly. Mason, Marks g. Co,
w. s. Norman of the Hotel Spokane
and Simon Seitenbach of the Spokane
Cloak & Suit house. They secured
the signatures Of SO business people.
Their petition was circulated from
the belief. as expressed by Howell w.
Peel today, that the antt-Tambling
bill is too sweeping. Among the sign
ers to this petition were Mayor p. s.
Byrne, Austin Corbin End. George 4.
Crane, M. M. Cowley. Patrick Clark,
f. E. Goodall, f. j.. Dyer. l.. M. Dav-
export, Henry NJ. Richards. f. d. San

closing, the senate galleries being
only partially filled. In the senate
as soon as a quorum was gained Mr..
Allison, chairman of the appropria
tions committee. offered an annual
statement of the appropriations,
showing an increase of STA, 900,
of which nearly half is due to the
Panama canal; also an increase of
$50,00o.000 in the postal service, q
large portion due to rural delivery.
The appropriations exceed $1,554,-
100000. Mr.. Allison in his speech
also called attention to the fact that
the last congress adopted no rivers
and harbor bill, while this one appro-
priated s26.000.OO0.
He said he was convinced the ap-
preparations made met the approval
of both parties. The senate then took
up the river and harbor bill amend
ment. thus formally setting aside the
Philippine tariff measure. Mr.. Hoar
by unanimous consent spoke on the
bill which had thus been officially
declared dead.
In the house when the roll call was
completed Speaker Henderson called
Mr.. Cannon to the chair to preside.
Amid the continued applause of both
parties Mr.. Payne offered a resolution
Of thanks to Mr.. Henderson for his
services as speaker. it having become
known the democrats would refuse
the usual courtesy. 1t was carried by
yive voce vote.
