SPOKANE THINKS
WELL OF MACLEAN
Chamber Of Commerce Re-
elects Him Secretary After
Active Service for Town

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL
SPOKANE. Wash, Marcn 2-R. j..
Maclean. formerly president OF the
Wilmington (Del) Board OF Trade,
has been reelected secretary of the
Spokane Chamber Of Commerce for
1911. His election was unanimous.
Since Mr.. Maclean became secre-
tary of the organization, which is con-
ceded to be the most active I'm the
Pacific slope country, last May, he has
been instrumental I'm increasing the
membership by not less than 400. IN
addition to which he launched a high
ly successful "buying-at-home" cam
paign. captured the National Com
mercial Teachers Association for 1919
and raised 2 $4,000 fund in a whirl-
wind campaign for the family OF Cap
tain John T. Sullivan. acting chief Of

ed In his home by an unknown
assassin.
Mr.. Maclean also assisted in cam
paigns. which resulted in the estab-
lishment of several large factories

Probably the most important far
reaching thing that has been accom-
plished by the Chamber Of Commerce
during the last eight months" said
F. r. Culbertson, acting president OF
the organization, "is the fact that the
cities and States IN the northwest are
united for mutual benefit, and much

REGULATION
OF POOL ROOMS
CeuRCil Has Authority and
Will Act When Govern
ment is Made Legal
SOCIAL SERVICE FOLK
ASK FOR ENFORCEMENT

Members of City Council last even
ing gave a hearing 10 a delegation
from the Social Service Club, on the
question of regulating pool rooms. and
learned that for two years there has
been a bill permitting Council to reg
ulate the pool business.
The law referred to is one in re-
lation TO the taxing OF pool rooms
and pool and billiard tables. This
law is in chapter No. ia, Laws of
Delaware, and has been there since
1909, but it has never been enforced.
II gives City Council the power to
impose any tax II sees flt upon pool
rooms and pool tables within the city
limits. II was passed when the law
taxing pool rooms in Kent and Sus-
sex counties was passed, only the
law relating to the two lower counties
was made mandatory and the revenue
thus derived from the two lower
counties went to the State.
The pool room matter has been be-
fore Council on various occasions and
there are now two bills IN the Legisla-
ture relative to taxing pool tables In
the city and county and providing that
all the revenue go to the State.
Councilmen assured the delegation
that they we're heartily IN accord with
the wishes OF its members that the
pool rooms OF the city be regulated
and that the revenue come to the city.
They further requested the delegation
TO use its influence toward having
action on the bill affecting Whining
ton in the Legislature held up for a
while. Tt Is intended to wait until
the Legislature legalizes the present
city government and then the pool
room ordinance will be passed Incl
dcntally many other ordinances held
up because OF existing conditions, viii
be passed
Council and the Social Service Club
do moi agree on the amount OF tax to
be levied neither do they agree on
detailed provisions In the proposed
ordinance but II is thought these mat
ters will be Strengthened out later.

MY JEAN
NJ. c. Robbins.

AS the harvest moon was shining,
Jean and I we walked along;
In her eyes there was love-light'
On her lips there was a song.
There was not a happier couple
In the world on that bright night,
For we loved each other wildly
And our lives we're very bright.
Jean lived in the little homestead,
Nestled close beside the hill;
You could see the waters flowing,
You could see the dear old mill.
Often she and l would wander,
Hand IN hand upon the shore,
We we're happy in each other,
Thought we would be evermore.
So the days and nights passed swiftly,
Jean aud I we're happy then;
We had stood beside the altar.
We had heard the priests amen.
oh the happy days that followed.
When we thought thered come no
cloud,
In this wide world none we're happier,
was OF my wife so proud.
When at home I'd come at evening,
would find my sweet wife there; ];
/ would press her fondly to me,
I would kiss her golden hair
Well | know our home was humble,
And I had no wealth 10 give;
We we're thankful we had comfort,
And in love and peace we'd live.
But a stranger came one evening,
And he called at our poor home;
He was wealthy, he was handsome,
He was grand and full of tone.
Jean, you know, was young aud
childish;
She had never in her life,
Met a man so grandly polished;
She forgot she was a wife.
Jean, she listened to his story,
It was roseate in its hue,
For he painted in bright colors
All the grand things he would do.
Well. one night, when / was weary,
And 7 wandered home to rest,
There was no bright face tomeet me.
/ could kiss no golden tress.
So I prayed, oh God forgive her,
She has wandered from her home,
And ! knew much she would suffer
In the days that we're to come.
But ! knew how she was tempted
BY the glitter of his gold,
But when tired he would forsake her;
On his life she had no hold.
But the one that loves her truly,
Is Door Tom, the farmer boy;
She was all the world in my heart,
My sweet girl-wife; my one joy.
But I knew that I had lost her;
I must live my life alone:
Jean would never come back to me,
Never cheer my lonely home.
But when e'er the stranger leaves her
And from him she has to part.
She can come back to my cottage.
She shall rest upon my heart;
Off the farmer boy is faithful,
n he was devoid of gold,
And ne loves his Jean as fondly
AS he did in the days of old

CABINET LINES
UP AGAINST BILL
Mayors Advisors Do Not
Think Y. W. C. A. Should
be Exempt From Taxation

Mayor Spruance's advisory board in
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
discussed various matters pertaining
to the government OF the city, the
greater part of the time being taken
up in considering numerous bills af-
fecting this city now before the Leg
islature. One of these bills provides
for exempting the Y. W. c. A. build
ing from the payment of water rent.
This was considered unwise by the
board as there are numerous other
organizations in the city conducted
along the same lines that are not
exempt from water rent. AS a re-
suit of this feeling, it was decided to
oppose the bill and the Legislature
will be notified.
Representatives of the Water Com
mission in the hoard made a propo-
sition in connection with the recent
agitation for a paid fire department,
which was considered, but no action
taken. This suggest is to install
a high wn1er pressure system, at
cost Of about S30,00O. II was claim d
that the pressure could be made 125
pounds ami If necessary Il could be
increased to 400 pounds at a small
additional cost

pin had knocked him down because
