up the memhei-H of the department
are now considering the resignation
of Fire Chief T. CJ. Quinn. Chief
Quinn tendered his resignation in
such maimer that it could have been
accepted on the instant, but the mem

FAIRBANKS SEEMS
10 BE PROVOKED
■
Judging from the tenor of there
marks of recently received Fairbanks
papers, Marshal Love's deputios in
the northern city are tightening
things np. In explanation of the
wail from Fairbanks, Deputy Mar
! shal Vawtor says that about the mid
Idle of October word was received
here that gambling was running wide
open in Fairbanks. The Fairbanks
deputies wore instructed U> investi
gate this report, and to close up gamb
ling.
In the opinion of Deputy Marshal
| Vawtor, t he deputies in Fairbanks
have gone too far, providing the
[statements in the Fairbanks papers be
true. That these statements take a
very pessimistic view of the affair is
indicated by the following published
in the Fairbanks News of October Hi
'•At an early hour last night small
1 knots of men could be seen on every
street corner earnestly discussing the
manifesto from M. K. Love, the new
United States marshal, who wired
his deputies last evening from Valdez
directing them to take immediate
steps toward the suppression of every
possible form of gambling in Fair
banks and vicinity.
"In the execution of this order Dep
uties North and Harding began a
systematic canvass of the town, put
ting a ban on every game of chance
in operation. Men stood open
mouthed with astonishment when told
to put tip their cues ami discontinue
secret pool. Pay pool players looked
askance and card games forthedrinks
stopped so suddenly that the chips
rolled ofi of the tables.
"Those who were shaking "high
man out" quit in disgust and each
man went oil and bought a drink by
himself. Bartenders stood idly ubou*
wondering what was going to happen
next, and saloon men from all over
town begun to gel together for ear
newt eouneils <>t war.
"The new order eame like a dis
tinct shoelc for the people luid about
considered themselves tree from fur
ther paternalism on the part i»f the
federal government, and have hope
that the authorities will make the
play good by coining through with a
complete line of nursing bottles for
all able-bodied citizens. There is one
ray of comfort in the new order of
tilings, for we can rest secure in the
knowledge that we won't be asked
to shake for the drinks."
