TRACK GAMBLING
ISSUE IN COUNCIL
Martin Offers Resolution Dr.
reCting Chief of Police TO
Stop BoOkmaking.
LIVELY DEBATE ENSUES
o'DoNNELL INTIMATES THAT
MARTIN PICKED DEAD ONES.

BE it resolved by this council, that
the chief of police be, and he is hereby
instructed to prevent the making of
books or any other form of gambling
that may be found in Salt Lake City,
and he is hereby instructed to enforce
all laws prohibiting gambling in this
city"
Councilman L. D. Martin created a
stir in the city council last evening by
introducing a resolution TO prohibit bet
ting on the horse races which are now
being run at the fair grounds track.
After a lengthy argument among the
members of the city council, the reso-
luton was laid over until next Monday
evening.
In speaking for Lis resolution COun-
Gilman Martin showed the race horse
men and others connected with the
track no quarter, and in most bitter
terms denounced their methods. He
said that the horse racing game was
not allowed to flourish in Chicago OF
New York, and that it had been driven
off the Pacific coast. There is absO-
lutely no reason why this blOod-sucking
game should be allowed to flourish
Councilman Fernstrom then arose
and asked Mr.. Martin to define gam
bling so that he could include in his
resolution the poker games, which he
alleged are now running in almost every
saloon in the city. Councilman Fern
strOm said that in the saloons about the
city there were a large number of pro-
/ fessiOnal gamblers awaiting to rob the
suckers" of their money while their
| families were forced to 60 without food
| in consequence.
| Councilman O'DOnnell in a rather sar-
| castle speech told the council that he
/ had probably violated his oath of Office
/ for he had gone to the race track on
several occasions and had placed bets
/ on various races. He said that he had
/ lost some money, and at other times he
/ had won. which was a source Of pleas
ure to him. He implied in his talk that
/ Mr.. Martin had bet on the wrong horse
and would no doubt have felt better
/ toward the races had he won.
Put EN- on Record.
"The crowd at the race track are a
rObbing. gambling, blOod-sucking lot OF
/ peOple," said Mr.. Martin. If my reso-
/ luton is not broad enough to put the
races out Of business, 1t will be amend
ed by next Monday evening. This reso-
luton will put every member of the
/ city council on record as to their stand
| on gambling"
DO you call betting on the horse
races gambling?" asked Councilman
/ O'DOnnell.
Yes, the rOttenest and rankest sort, -
replied Mr.. Martin.
Councilman Wood expressed himself

certain class OF fnanciers who had attempted
to raid the Bank of Italy stock lie pointed out
that this had been done by the circulation Of
false dispatches that the bank had lost $40 OOO.-

report would cause heavy decline in the stock
values, the reaction OF which would affect other
banks. The government had stopped this

In this city citizens are competing with the

Of the disaster.
II has been decided 10 cover the ruins with

soon as the material is available. The walls
still standing in Messina and Reggie will be
blown down with dynamite.
In spite OF the efforts to organize relief meas
