MENTo, Jan. 1s.-women playing
bridge whist or other games of cards
for money or prizes at their clubs
would find themselves amenable to the
law in case a bill introduced today by
Assemblyman B. ]. Collum of San
Francisco should become a law. Not
only that, but the policeman on the
beat would have the right to break
down the doors and raid the club
women playing for stakes or prizes.
OF course, the bill isn't aimed at the
fair devotees of bridge whist, but it
would reach them just the same. The
bill provides that every club or other
social organization, whether incorpo-
rated or not, shall sbe required to pro-
cure from the tax collector license
at $40 per quarter.
Collum says the measure is to pro-
vide for poor mems clubs, but the bill
reads differently. 1t empowers the
police to break into clubrooms where
poker, whist. bridge, pinochle, roulette,
faro, wheel of fortune and other games
are operated, provided gambling is
allowed.
Assemblyman Black of San Fran
cisco proposed a bill making 1T unlaw-
full for any person, firm or corporation
to buy, sell or have in his possession
any slot machine or other apparatus,
contrivance or device ordinarily used
for gambling.

INSIST ON INQUIRY
Senators Say There Is No Ques-

Investigation
Attorney General Bonaparte
Asked if Suit Is Filed Against
Land Company

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Senators
who have given consideration to the
demand made by Senator Tillman for
an investigation by the senate of the
charges made by President Roosevelt
IN connection with the senator's at
tempt to procure Oregon lands incline
TO the opinion that there is no question
before the senate for an inquiry ex-
cept as to whether Mr.. Tillman was
frank with his colleagues in discussing
tne t case. The opinion is held generally
tndt even II the charges made by the
president were true the act of Mr.
Iillman was not a violation of the law
no member of the committee on privi-
reyes and elections is inclined to pre-
sent resolution calling for one and
II one is introduced it is likely that
senator Tillman will be the author
his friends however. are determined
TO advise him against insistence on his
request for an inquiry.
Just before going to the senate
chamber today Senator Tillman called
Attorney General Bonaparte on the
telephone and asked him whether he
had brought suit against the Southern
oregon company, which holds land
grants for military roads from Rose
burg TO Coos bay This is the land
comprising over 100000 acres of
winch Senator Tillman at one time
contemplated purchasing at $3.50 per
acre, about 1.400 acres for himself
members OF his family and others.
The attorney general was nor able
10 answer offhand whether or not suit
mad been brought against the Southern
oregon company. and Mr.. Tillman asked
MIN II he could not at once call up
some clerk and ascertain what had been
done in that case.
After some delay, with Senator Till
man holding the phone and awaiting
an answer, the attorney general re-
piled that he would send Mr.. TiIlman a
note on the subject. Mr.. Tillman in
sisted that he would like to have an
ment.
Senator Tillman today received a re-
ply from Attorney General Bonaparte to
ms inquiry whether the attorney gem
eral had brought suit against the
southern Oregon company, which holds
land grants for military roads from
Roseburg to Coos bay. He declined to
make his communication public today
saying he would read it and comment
upon 1T in the senate tomorrow.
