MASTERS AT
THE HUST|NGS
ELI CRUMRlNE AND HERMAN
GROESBECk MATCH FORENSIC
SKILL ON SOCIALISM.
Interesting Session of the Laramie Lit
erary Club At Its Hall in the Car
negie Building Last Night-Mem-
bership Reaches Maximum Fixed
by the Rules.

The first meeting of the Laramie Lit
erary society, which took place last
night at the Carnegie library, was much
enjoyed by the thirty members present
and was certainly productive of a num-
Der of good arguments.
Mr.. Eli Crumrine, president of the
club, was in the chair, with Mr.. viii
McMurray as secretary.
After the transaction of the formal
business of the club the chairman ap-
pointed Mr.. C. P. Arnold to take the
chair during the literary program and
Mr.. N. E. Corthell to act as critic for
the evening.
The subject for debate was, rs So
cialism Desirable?" Mr.. Crumrine, who
had the affirmative, read a very well
gotten up paper, taking the line that
socialism would eventually come along
the lines of evolution n not by revo-
luton. Mr.. Crumrine quoted a number
of statistics to show hat the railroads
at present control production, fix
wages, and determine profits. His pa
per was so much liked by the club that
his time of speaking was extended by
unanimous vote.
Judge Groesbeck, who had the mega
tive of the question, gave a very clev-
err burlesque of an argument which at
times ~convulsed his audience with
laughter. He took the line that social
ism was not desirable because such
good men as Rockefeller and Carnegie
could not exist under it or pile up huge
fortunes, also that as under the present
system only the rich are to go to hell,
which under socialism, when everybody
would be rich, everybody would go to
that warm climate.
During the open discussion upon the
question, Mr.. Corthell spoke of the
working of the ~socialistic system in
New Zealand, Australia and Belgium.
Mr.. Stickney spoke on railroad rates,
Mr.. w. H. Frazee upon the making of
great fortunes and Mr.. Arnold gave a
vigorous talk upon the benefit of indi-
vidualism. The other speakers were
Mr.. e. j.. Bell, Rev. Walton, Mr.. McMur-
ray and Mr.. Wolfard.
Mr.. Corthell in his report as critic
took a humorous view of each mem
ber's performance, causing much laugh
ter.
Since the last meeting the names OF
DR.. Tisdel, George Patterson and Col
onel E. j.. Bell have been added to the
list of members, which brings the mum
Der up to the limit of forty, and others
wishing to join must go on the waiting
list.
The second meeting of the club is tc
take place next Thursday evening
when Commonwealth Of Australia
will be the theme. with Dean Bode al

STABLE ORDINANCE.
CONSIDERED.
Supervisors Listen to Ar
guments Relative to
Proposed Amendment

The Board OF Supervisors met yes
terday as committee of the whole
to consider the proposed amendment
to the building ordinance which re-
peals the section requiring the written
consent OF property owners adjacent
thereto before any stable can be erect
ed in the city limits.
F. j. Churchill of the Mission Pro-
motion Association opposed the amend
ment on behalf of business men and
property owners in the Mission District
who, he said, were deferred from max
ing building improvements owing to
the proximity of stables
F. Meyers, representing property
owners in the vicinity of Sanchez and
Henry streets, argued that his clients
should have the right to protest
against any damage to their property
resulting from the building of stable.
When z. P. Troy began to address
the board Supervisor Wilson moved
that Troy be denied the privilege Of
the floor. Wilson said that too much
time had been given Troy on public
questions and that he was tired of his
.Kolb and Dill" tactics. The motion
was carried and when Troy raised his
voice in protest the sergeant at arms
escorted him from the meeting room.
George Renner, president of the
DraYmen's Association, said many
stable owners had purchased land for
stable purposes and If the consent Of
adjacent property owners is required
it would mean practical conf1scation
of the land. The speaker said such a
requirement would drive the stable
owners to San Mateo and their business
would be destroyed thereby. There
were ia stables destroyed by the fire
out of 1S1 owned by members Of the
association.
NJ c. White, business agent OF the
Stable Mems and Carriage Owners As
sociation, questioned the validity of the
ordinance requiring the consent of
property owners to the building of a
stable. Rev. Father Cummings ap-
peared for the Sisters of Notre Dame
and protested against the proposed
amendment claiming that property
owners should be considered as we'll as
the stable owners. as stables depre-
ciated the value of surrounding prop
erty and increased the insurance risk.
William Gallagher and R. H Pease
urged the passage of the amendment.
after which the matter was taken un-
der advisement by the board. 49,. Is
