NO MORE N|CkELS
IN THE SLOT.
Not for Drinks, at Any
Rate, Says Chief Will
son to the Thirsty
WILL ENFORCELAW

OAKLAND, July 17.-An order issued
by Chief of Police Wilson t.4is morning
will put an end to slot-machine gam
bling in Oakland. After a consultation
with the District Attorney. Chief VIII
son ordered Captains of Police Petersen
and Lynch to notify the proprietors of
every saloon and cigar store within the
limits of Oakland to at once discontinue
the operation of slot machines. on PEN
atty of arrest and prosecution.
The order promulgated by the Chief
took the saloon men and cigar dealers
of Oakland completely by surprise.
They had expected no such move.
Within a few hours many machines had
disappeared from counters and bars.
There Is some talk among the saloon
men and tobacco dealers of giving legal
battle to the Chief of Police, but no
action has yet been decided on.
The action of the Chief of Police was
taken after consultation with Deputy
District Attorney Everett Brown. who
informed the head of the Police Depart
ment that the District Attonery had
decided that the machines were bank
ing games and were therefore illegal.
Thee Chiefs order involves all kinds
of machines except candy and gum de-
vices, which deliver their contents on
the dropping of the nickel AS these
chandise they are not classed as slot
machines.
This Is not the first time that an ef-
fort has been made to put a stop to the
operation of slot machines in this city
and two decisions have been rendered
by the Alameda County Superior Court
regarding their operation. One of these
decisions, rendered by Judge S. P. Hall,
now a member of the Appellate bench,
declares the slot machines to be gam
bling devices and their operation a
violation of the State law A later de-
cision by the late Superior Judge
Greene. however. holds that when the
machines are played simply for cigars
or drinks, under a guarantee of value
received, there is no violation Of the
law.
In discussing his order Chief of Po-
lice Wilson said: District Attorney
Allen and Deputy District Attorney
Brown have both expressed the opin-
ion that slot machines are a banking
game and are therefore illegal. Acting
on their opinion, / have ordered the
captains of police to notify all patrol
men. to warn the proprietors of all sa-
looms and cigar stores that the opera
tion of slot machines must be discon-
tinued at once under penalty of imme-
diate arrest. 1 shall carry out the law
to the letter.
