All hope of arbitration was practically ended today when the union officials refused to call at McCullochs offices and he In turn ordered great stores of provision delivered at the ts. car bams. The strike continues to spread and the strike leaders say that before tomorrow morning the Chicago City Railway system will be completely tied up, although cars are running today with police protection. Union teamsters employed by coal comapnles have been ordered to deliver no more coal at the barns and teamsters emplpyed by the railway are turning In their teams as fast as the unloading of wagons can be finished. The linemen said they would quit to" night and the electricians will be called out Monday. NEW YORK MOURNS Public Expression of Respect to the Memory of Philanthropist Green. NEW YORK, Nov. 14. The police chines are going to make war on the business men of the town who oppose this great evil. Not content with conducting eighty-thre- e gambling games on the ground floor In Ogden City, without hindrance (except on one day of the month when they pay a nominal fine, amounting to fixed license), they seem determined to suppress free speech by means of the boycott. Information has been brought to the State Journal, which Is quite authentic, that some of the proprietors of the slot machines have withdrawn their business support from institutions In Ogden with which they have long had large and satisfactory dealings, and In doing so have expressed their rage at the proprietors of these establishments for expressing the view that the law should be obeyed. The men who have started the boycott may think more reasonably after a little reflection. Many of them have large interests here and they must know that the permanent welfare of the city is injured by running the slot machines. Meantime the people continue to express themselves n positive terms, as follows: Hon. C. C. Richards: "I am decidedly in favor of abolishing slot machines and all kinds of gambling. I think that the public officials enumerated in section 4226 of the statutes of the state who neglect to prosecute offenders under the statute, and In that way tolerate Its violation, should be prosecuted under section 4226, and ,fa few such examples were made the laws relating to gambling would not be a dead letter upon the statute book. Why, of course I Bishop Ensign: am opposed to them." Mrs. C. 8. Zimmerman: "Of course gambllnlg slot machines ought to ' be abolished. I despise such things." Mrs. Jane 8.

I am not in fa Mrs. E. O. Paine: vor of anything in the way of gambling to entice our boys to do wrong. James Thompson: The slot ma chines are the biggest disgrace there is to Ogden City. I would Miss Lillian M. Stafford: like-tsee the slot machines closed. Mrs. William Craig, president of the W. C. T U.: I would like to see every machine In the city closed. with their circumstances and can speak from actual knowledge of the laboring liian. In conversation with a Journal representative today he expressed himself as follows on the slut machine question: "When you take into consideration the rate of pay, the uncertainty of steady employment and the cost of living, the workingman has no money to throw away; and when a young man enters a saloon, and perhuiw for the first time, sees his cumiMinlon make a winning hls cupidity Is aroused and he is tempted to do likewise. He overlooks the fact It Is a sure thing and drops in hls nickels and, if fortunate enough to win, becomes Infatuated with the game, a frequenter of saloons, the companion of the dissolute, a drunkard and a criminal; and d his money which should to the comfort and supiHirt of himgo self und family and the payment of his obligations, Is squandered to the profit of an unscrupulous Individual, who, through ownership of the machines, builds up a fortune for himself by the ruination of the morals und character of his fellownian." hard-earne- J. A. Holland, manager of the Union Labor Mercantile company, Is fiercely opposed to the slot machine. He Is daily In close touch with the working classes. He does business with them every day; he is thoroughly familiar A man who knows, throws the calcium light on the Inside working of the slot machine. He says: A great many losers lire sure they can't win, but they blame It all on the demon of Bad Luck. Poor old Bad Luck hHS a pretty hard row to hoe at best, and It Is not a fair deni to shoulder onto him the crimes that are committed at the factory which builds the machines. At one time I owned 130 Kiker card machines, and so I can speak with the wisdom of exiierlence. It kept three machinists busy repairing them, their principal work being to muke the machines so wise, that the sucker had no possible chnnee. Some paid money and some paid chips, good for drinks and cigars. About once a week I changed a good, wise machine for a 'strong one, and let a player win 610 or $15; and then you ought to have seen the victims light each other to get their money In. On most machines there are but forty-fiv- e cards. This gives the ojie-rata sure thing on having seven cards In hls hold out Then It Is the easiest thing In the world to put three STORY 1$ HOT AGREEMENT WORKING CLASS THE CHIEF 8UFFERERS ANOTHER WEBER curds of the same kind, us ucch, fur Instance, on one wheel. I've done It lots of times and never got caught. Then there may be a system of weak springs and strong springs, which will throw the cards uuy place you want them to stop. These are a few of the bolder schemes. There are others more intricate und technical, but these will suffice fur the liiyinttn. It ought to lie enough fur him to know that he has been robbed; but there Is a sucker born every minute und none of them ever die. I have explained this thing to friends so thoroughly that I thought I hud put them wise, but the next time I dropped Into u saloon 1 would find the pirty I had played angel to, dropping his good coin of the realm Just the same and with the same results.

It Is not often that one meets with a woman whose business Is mining, hut when one does It is a pleasure, because, invariably they are enthusiastic and very frequently they are lucky. Take the case of' Jlin Butler, for instance, to whom Is attributed tbe discovery of the famous Mlspah lode In the Tounpah district now known all over the world. The fact Is Butler's wife used to prosjiect with him and was with hlin when the float of the Mlximh whs accidentally picked up, and It waa she who Insisted that the first assay which showed scarcely any values was incorrect, and prevailed uKtn her husband to have the ore tested again. It whs done and the result was that another rich mining district was born Into the world. There are other cases which might be cited, but It la enough to say that ' there Is a Indy right here in Ogden who culls herself, and is, a practical miner. Of course she does not pound the drill nor work with a pick and shovel, but nevertheless she is thoroughly familiar with formations and the cluiracter of ores; knows how work ought to be dnn and how to direct It. Her name Is Mrs. C. A. Zimmerman and her husband was a practical prospector and miner who stampeded the sagebrush of Nevada, California, Arizona Hnd Utah. Hhe accompanied him In lila wanderings. Although young In appearance Mrs. Zimmerman confesses to having followed mining for the past fifteen or twenty years. About five years ago, while walking lf along the foothills, about two and in lies northeast of the city reservoir. she picked up what she knew to be lloat" and like a sensible woman she had It assayed a man might have thrown It away. The result of the aasay wus $600 In gold to the ton. Hhe located four claims, the Telephone, Telegraph, Pioneer nnd Gold Htnndard. Hhe took In some friends and three years ago the property was Incorporated lpto the Wasatch Mining company. Work on the property has been done In a desultory way ever since, and although no such values have been found us the ore ulsive named, assays running from 65 to 6373 In gold have I icon obtnlned. There Is a shaft of thirty feet on the property; a tunnel of sixty feet, and an Incline of sixty-fiv- e feet, all showing values In gold, clnnMbar and silver. The capltullsiutlon of the company Is 3500.000, and there Is not only a large amount of stock in the treasury hut enough money to enable them to with further development proceed work. This will be done next week when a contract will be let to extend the Incline another 100 feet. The formation Is shale and quartzite and the vein, which is heavily mineralized, lies between walls. There Is an abundance of wood and water on the property for all necessary purone-hn- well-defin- Latter-Da- y Saints, Tabernacle services Sun- Most Important Government Work for day, November 15th: Elder Henry H.
