A Fight Against Them Begun In Earnest
at Eau Claire.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Jan. 23.--The cases
against Andy Hamilton, Charles Bar
ner, and Jim McCann, notorious keep
ers. of long established dance dens, were
called in the circuit court. The prose-
c~utions We're begun last spring on evil
dence obtained by the agents of a social
purity organization in this city. Every
effort for delay is being made by
the defendants, two of whom
have unlimited financial resources
In Hamilton's case continuance was
asked on the ground of abseace of
a necessary witness, a woman named
Seymour, but she was found and Jailed,
being in the city evidently by mistake,
and Barker asks continuance on the
ground Of alleged sickness of his wife.
No continuance is likely to be granted.
1t looks as thouge the suburban dance
houses, which for years have been the
scene Of riot and crime, must finally go.
The killing of Hamilton's affidavit for
continuance by the discovery OF the al.
legged to be absent witness has greatly
disconnected the den keepers, two OF
whom y is rumonsa are preparing for
fight.

While the latter ~sustains the instructions

urges it on the ground that he has been

Methodist ministers held here by the
~heterodoxy of a paper read by one of
their number, the Rev. DR.. F. L. Mad.
Ter, a German Methodist divine. In his
paper he held that infants and the
heather who never had an opportunity
in this life to accept Oh reject Christ
would not have the fate of the wicked
in the next life, but would be given a
probation after death. He drew the fire
of a whole battery of criticism and in
y~ective from his brethren. One minis
ter said: Il advise this brother to go to
Jericho and wait until his beard grows"
DIR. Nader was urged to reply. All he
said was: sIf some sf these brethren

NOT HOPEFUL.
PrOsp ts for the Springer
Bill Are Not Good.
Flaws Discovered in the Measure by
Legal Examiners.

Washington special, 22l: The sup
porters of the Springer territorial bill.
who were confident that il would be
adopted by the senate. are revising their
estimates; they have discovered that
they have misunderstood The attitude of
some of the republican senators, or
rather shat they have drawn too sudden
infereposs from casual remarks to some
OF the republican members Of the COM
mittee on territories made before q full
consideration had been given to the
Springer bill-before. in fact, the text OF
the bill had been printed in official form.
An examination OF the bill in the form
In which it finally passed the house has
convinced some republicans in
the senets that the measure
does not commend itself so
Them 30 much as they had supposed it
would. An examination Of the text OF
the bill shows that it has many incon-
gruitles, and that 1t Is by no means
certain that Soush Dakota and Montana
could be admitted on an executive pro-
clamation that the terms of the act have
been complied with, SIS has been as
sumed by the supporters of the meas
ore would be the case. On the contrary,
the lawyers who have examined the
measure maintain that it is inconsistent
and that there is certain phraseology in
1t which would prevent such construc-
tion. For instance. section 19 states
that all state governments in the terri
tories named "shall remain in allegiance
until the constitution framed by said
convention shall be appro ,ed by con.
Rress," Further In the bill q deolara-
tion Is made that when the con stitution
80 framed is approved by congress and
such q state admitted into the union,
both the special act OF congress therefor,
the senators and representatives, shall
be admitted to s sats in congress. There is
no exception made to the classification as
to southern Dakota or Montana. II
may be shat the bill il contradictory,
but. i: it is, it of course will require
amendment, and it may be doubted
whether the bill could pass it it should
become necessary to send it again to the
house. The feature which recommends
it most to the republicans of the senate
Ia that II enacted it would secure the
Immediate admission OF South Dakota
and Montana with only the formality of
the executive proclamation that the con-
disions have been complied with. II,
however, South Dakota and Montsn a
are to come 60 congress to have their
constitutions approysd,as is the require
ment as to Washington and North Ds-
kota and New Mexico, She bill would
have scarcely a redeeming feature in the
eyes Of the republicans of the senate,
Certainly most OF the republicans who
voted for the measure in the house didn't
understand that any such limitation Yves
placed upon the admission Of South De-.
kota end Montana.
