The proposed renewal of the slot

found no favor with the Downtown as

terday at the st. Francis hotel a reso-
luton passed year ago was brought
out of the associations archives and
given new force by being passed all
over again.
There was little or no discussion over
the resolution. The members present
were so unanimous in their condemna-
tion of the slot machine evil that the
action was practically automatic. Sid
ney Peixotto, the attorney of the asso-
citation, was directed to file a protest
with the board of supervisors against
the return of the machines, as proposed
by the police committee of the board
of supervisors.
The meeting was addressed during
the process of serving the luncheon by
Walter Camp, the father of American
football and well known sporting e
authority, on the necessity of encour-
aging athletics in the youth of the
country. Athletics, he said developed
not only the body but the mind and
morals of the youth well. He ad-
vocated public parks and the continued
support of businessmen in seeing that
the proper advantages for exercising
were placed within the reach of all.

AUTO and
STREET CAR
COLLIDE

Leroy Maxey's auto and street
car fought one round yesterday morn
ing at Ninth and Minnesota avenne
Both parties to the bout showed ,yel-
low streaks1 and were willing to quit
at the close Of the round. The auto,
however, seems to have received a lit
tie the worst Of IT.
Mr.. Maxey was approaching with
his buzz-wagon on Minnesota avenue
and did not see the car coming on
Ninth street, high embankment OBJ
structing the view. He says he heard
no alarm given by the street car.
Neither car was running very fast
when the collision came and no great
damage was done. The autos steer
ing gear and frame were somewhat
twisted, but the engine was not dam
aged.
Mr.. Maxey was alone in the auto
and probably fifteen people were on
the street car. No one was injured.
