A RULE THAT is NOT VALID.
Auditors Favors to Liquor lien Lead to Some
Being Caughtby Paying a Fee in Advance.

County auditors can do little favors for
saloon-keepeTs by issuing them license to
sell liquor without an immediate fulfill
ment of the laws requirements. That is.
If the iquor-seller is not ready with his
500. and the auditor knows a few days or
weeks delay in payment will Put the APP
pl;cant under some obligation, he can let
him have the license on the risk of the
county getting the money. But the law
says no license shall be issued until the
applicant has fled a bond and paid his fee
into the county treasury. the receipt for
which must be shown to the auditor. He
IS not required to do this until the County
commissioners have passed favorably
upon his application. In fact, the Supreme
bond and the payment of the 500 fee are
conditions precedent to the issuance of a
license. Ii a ~saloon-keeper has one
without having met these requirements he
is as subject to prosecution as If he had
none. There have been many instances
OF saloon-keepers being favored by auditors
In the manner stated, and they led to COM
mlssioners, in several counties, making a
rule requiring the payment of the 500 at
the time the application for license was
filed.
In Howard. county, recently, a man
wanted to sell liquor, and applied to the
commissioners, at the time paying in
to the county treasury the amount
required. His application wasnot granted,
and he asked for the return of the money.
The county treasurer refused to pay it over,
and the commissioners declined to order
him 10 do SO. The money had been
transferred to the school fund. and thus re-
cOvery was sought from the school trustees.
They asked Mr.. LaFollette. Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. what they
should do about it, and he submitted the
question to the Attorney-general That Of
fetal, in the opinion he gave yesterday,
stated that the rule of the commissioner
requiring advance payment confiicted with
the statutes asto filing the bond and pay
ment of fee into the county treasury after
the application for a license had been
granted. This made the rule of no force,
and he thought the applicants right to re-
cover rested solely on it's validity.
Ii the rule was valid and
payment of the fee could be said to be a
condition precedent to the granting of a Ii
cense, he might recover. as the act of pay
ment was involuntary. But otherwise. the
applicant would voluntarily part with his
money. and could not recover. He said
that a number of cases had been decided
denying the right of recovery of money paid
for licenses where the ordinances providing
for such had been declared void.
In reference to the constitutionality of
the new law requiring an additional city
and town license fee from liquor-sellers,
the Supreme Court will probably hand down
Its decision next week.

BOARD OF TRADE PARAGRAPHS.
Fact and Gossip Collected from Busy Men When
They Met for Their Daily Transactions.

Yesterday a telegram was received by the
secretary of the Board of Trade from Mr..
Curtis, who is in charge of the Spanish
American delegates to the international
Congress, stating that thsy would a%rrivein
this city at 4 o'clock on the morning of Nov.
l, instead of at 6, as scheduled. This change
was made at the solicitation of the Louis
Vile committee, which has arranged to give
the visitors a grand ball when they
reach that city, on the even
ing of the 1st. The president OF
the local Board of Trade sent word to Mr..
Cnrtis that arrangements had been made
by which the visitors can leave here for
Louisville at 6 o'clock in the evening. This
would not interfere with the Louisville pro-
grampe, President Tanner thought, and he.
on behalf on the board. objected to any
change in the arrap gements that had been
perfected. Replying to this telegram, Mr..
Curtis answered that the programme,
remain unaltered. and that the visitors
should be here at 6 A. NJ. but he requested
that luncheon De served at 1880, instead of
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The joint
committee of the board and Council will
meet the views of the visitors in this re-
spect, and the new programme. with this
change, will be announced as soon as pos
sible.
The new arrangements and better &C
commodations provided at the Board of
Trade building have had the desired effect
in increasing the membership roll. There
are now" said Secretary Gillette. yester-
day. more applications for membership
than there are vacancies. This shows that
the board is in a fourishing condition
Besides this. as soon as the new hall is
completed, and the Offices occupied. new
methods for increasing the efficiency of the
board will be inaugurated."
There is a fine opening here" said a
prominent member of the board yesterday,
''for a wire-nail factory. The use of wire
nails is increasing SO rapidly on account of
their low price and superior quality that
they are superseding the ol%d-fashion cut
nail in a great many kinds of work. There
was q wire nail mandatory here which
had q fine and growing business. but the
company left on account of offers being
made in the way of N n buildings to
change its location. Some of our enter
prising business men seeking a first-class
investment for surplus capital should take
advantage OF this opportunity. The matter
will certainly bear investigation"

1T REQUIRED DIPLOMACY.
Guests Delayed by Walters Asking an Advance
on Price Agreed Upon for Service.

The banquet of the National Wholesale
Druggists at the New benson. Thursday
evening, was to have been ready at z
o'clock. The guests. admonished to punct-
uality. were promptly on hand at that
hour. but the procession did not move to-
ward the ~dining-hall until an hour later.
1t was noticed that the gentlemen OF the
committee on arrangements were In q
frame of mind, and that proprietor Taylor
was lab0ring under no small amount of re-
pressed emotion, but : was not until yes
terday that the cause of the various phe-
nomena was disclosed. With three hun
dred guests an extra number OF walters
were required, and, with the wine stew
ards, n hundred and twenty-five were
employed. seventy-fve of whom were en-
gagged as extras. These men had been en-
gagged by the head waiter at 81 each
for the evening. but at the moment
when about to march into the ban
quet-room, feeling that they had
a great occasion before them and every
thing in their own handst they madea strike
for 81 each. After considerable delay they
agreed to go to work and the, doors were
thrown open for the guests who marched
into the dining-hall and were shown to
their places.
Yesterday afternoon when these walters
called for their money there was another
little scene. Some of them said they had
been promised 50 each to throw up the
strike and go into the dining-hall, and this
point of disagreement Mr.. Taylor explained
to the reporter: 1T was just before we
were ready to move into the dlning-r0om"
said he. that a number of fellows left the
line and coming to me asked if they were
to get %. 1t was al occasion requiring di-
plomacy. Although it had been well un-
derstoOd that 81 was the price, | said l
would see them on the 81. One man came
to me and askedif l was going to pay hims2.
] said yes, and that one man was paid 50.
Things were getting hot n l bad
to think quick. 1t was a mean strike, but
the majority of the men were not in it.
The leaders were John Hunter, John Kiger,
Henry Jackson, Richard Singleton and two
or three others. This afternoon Lynn Mar
tindale, as be went in to pay them of, told
them he would pay the dollar agreed. upon
and make each a present of a half-dollar.
They took the money and that ended the
matter"
Messrs. Taylor and Martindale were kept
busy last evening receiving congratulations
for the able generalship they displayed in
the face of an impending conflict.

TIE BOB-TAIL CAR In COURT.
Complaint Asking for an Injunction Filed
Against the Street-RailrOad Company.

City Attorney Taylor yesterday fled. in
the Superior Court. the complaint in the
suit against the Citizens Street-railroad
Company, which he was ordered q week
ago by Council to begin. The object of the
complaint is to nave the defendant cease,
as it is alleged, violating the ordinance re-
quiring the use of platform cars and con-
ductors on certain lines IN the city. An
exhaustive review is given of the several
ordinances under which the COM
pany first received its Smarter and
is now operating. and it goes
back to the Councils proceedings of Jan.
Is. 1864, at which time a thirty years fran
chise was granted. At the same time an
ordinance was passed requiring all con-
ductors to call the names of all cross streets
OF all lines, which has never been repealed.
The company accepted the terms of this
contract and at once began to build and
operate new lines. Subsequently Council
made several amendments to the original
franchise was extended to thirty-seven
years. April Q, 1888. an ordinance was
passed requiring conductors on all lines
traversing Massachusetts, and Virginia
venues and Pennsylvania, Blake, Illinois
and Noble streets.
The complaint sets out that this ordi-
nance has never been repealed. and that
the company is now violating that portion
which says the specified lines shall be op-
Grated with cars ''of the best
style and class used on street
railways in other cities.o The bob-tail car.
it is further claimed, is q menace to human
life, and. as the travel is especially heavy
on the five above named lines, extensive
litigation is apt to result from their use.
The city valves a temporary injunction
and asks the court to perpetually enloin the
% from further use of the single
platform cars. Sheriff King, as soon as the
complaint was filed. served Superintendent
Shaffer with the necessary papers. and the
matter will. if possible. be brought to q
hearing without delay.

PROBABLY A OANARD.

The Reports of the Sinking of she
 Nipsic at Samoa by she Grmans are Unfounded.
 WASHINGTON, March S.-A great many dispatches have been received at the State and Navy department this morning making inquiry as to the accuracy of a report which comes from San Francisco that the United States war vessel Nipsic has been sunk in Samoan waters by the Germans. All that can be said is that neither department has received any information about it, and the report is not credited.
 At the Navy department it was said that news of an event of such importance would surely reach the United States at least as soon as @ German seacoast city. The Nipsic was the only United States man-ef-war at Samoa prior to the 1st instant, but it is be- ieved that the Trenton and Vandalia, which sailed from Honolulu early in February, reached Samoa about March 1st
