TO co AFTER SLOT MACHINES
Ordinance will Be introduced at Tonghfs Meeting Prohibit
ing Use Of Seductive Little Gambling Devices

be taken to suppress the machines.
and with this in view there will be
introduced in the council tonight an
ordinance prohibiting the use Of slot
machines in Walla Walla"
When it became known in Walla
Walla this morning in Walla Walla
that the council was contemplating
the abolishment of the nickle in the
slot machines it is said that num-
Der of cigar dealers started a move
ment to head off the proposed ordi-
nance tonight. In number Of cigar
stores the slot machines are the prin-
cipal source Of revenue and their
abolishment will tend to decrease the
receipts where several of the smaller
stores will find it hard to continue
business. The cash paying machines
in saloons have been taken out since
the recent order Of the council and in
consequence the fat revenue that sew
eral outside owners Of machines have
been enjoying has been cut of.

Along with Sunday closing, high sa-
loon licenses and other movements
tending to clear the moral atmosphere
of Walla Walla, the seductive little slot
machine is to be pushed into the
limelight. At tonight's council meet
ing an ordinance that will make the
abolishment of this form of gambling
certainty if it is enforced will be
introduced and it is expected that the
same forces that put through the high
license ordinance will be behind the
new ordinance tonight
"The new ordinance not only prohib-
it's the cash machine, but also the lit
tie merchandise paying machines so
common in cigar stores," a member OF
the council said this morning. I'm my
estimation the merchandise machines
are the more pernicious Of the two.
The evil results attending the playing
of slot machines has become such
that it is imperative that some means

MOYER MAKES STATEMENT
Wishes to Clear Miners Union Of Re.
sponsibiIity for Crime.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 2.-President
Meyer of the Western Federation Of
Miners states that his organization has
begun an independent organization of
the assassination Of Former Governor
Steunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho. Meyer
declares this is for the protection of the
federation, because the name Of the
organization has been dragged into the
case by Idaho officials. He said today:
"At the present time I cannot state
whether or not this terrible crime was
committed by members of this fedora
ton, but I don't believe any Of our
men could be guilty of such a criem.
We are just as anxious that the real
perpetrators of this crime be caught
and punished as any other class, but
we don't want to be wrongly accused
Of committing such a deed. The an
tipathy engendered in the ranks of the
union miners against Steunenberg
during the Occur d'Alene strike was
considerable, but it never reached the
stage where violence was thought Of.
Governor Steunenberg simply acted un-
der orders and he had been forgotten
until he was killed. It is nonsense to
couple the federation with the crime.
Steunenberg made many other enemies
during the big strike than those in the
ranks of the union miners, and mis-
death may have been caused by them" /"
