For the present season at least the

not improbable that there will be added
to the line several kindred products

FIGHT ON SLOT MACHINES.
Mayor and Council Disagree Over CT
gar Sellers.

SPOKANE. Wash, Dec. 21.-An
open breach has taken place between
Mayor Moore and the city council. The
latter body recently refused to pass an
ordinance prohibiting the operation of
slot machines. The day following the
mayor issued an order to Police Chief
Rice in effect that all machines must
be abolished by March 1, thus giving
cigar store men time to dispose of
their machines, also to unload the large
stocks of cigars which they figure the
machines dispose of more quickly than
We're there no machines. The mayors
order is that beginning March 1, Chief
Rice. backed by the state law which
forbids the operation of slot machines,
shall arrest all persons who operate
them and confiscate the ma chines. He
characterizes the machines as a per-
nicious influence to the community.
