A startling statement supporting the

Eleanor UpChurch, DR. Binkley's grand
daughter, at the cOTOneT's hearing to-
day.
My grandfather was murdered, for
am sure it was the murderer who

was somewhat surprised at the source
from whence it came. He took dig"
at Councilman Martin as if doubling
his sincerity, and said few months ago
a certain woman. came from Ogden
with a proposition to build an establish
ment on the west side. He said there
had been a great deal of talk on GER
tain benefits which the city would de-
rive from the proposition. In cOnClu-
sion, he said if the city were going to
have one evil, why not have them all,
meaning If the stOckade were allowed
to run, why not the races.
On motion of Councilman Reedall the
resolution went over until the next
regular session Of the council next Mon
day evening.
Councilman Fernstrom remarked that
he knew but little about the gambling
at the race track, but he did know of
the gambling which was being conduct
ed in the saloons about the city. As the
resolution introduced by Mr.. Martin
was aimed directly at the race track
betting, Mr.. Fernstrom asked that the
resolution be broad enough to take in
the poker games also.
