The Board of Police Commissioners
met in regular session yesterday after
noon in the Mayors Office, Mayor Hazard
in the chair, and Messrs. Collins, Dex-
ter and Lindley present.
After the reading of the minutes of
the last meeting, which were unani'
mously approved, Chief Glass presented
his report upon the matter of the appli-
cation of the Perry Bros. for q new
license at their Club Theatre, at No. 80
North Main street. He reported that the
place was frequented for the most part
by "macs" and toughs of the worst types,
and that women of loose character we're
employed as mattresses. As the appli-
cants had not secured the required num-
Der of signatures of property owners on
the block, the motion was referred back
to the Perry Bros. on motion OF Mr..
Lindley.
In the matter of the application Of A.
Chavez for q license at 700 South Olive
street, the Chief reported that he had
not the required number of signatures,
and the same action was taken as in

the application Of Peter Backman for q
permit to blast on Temple and Bunker
Hill avenue, that the residents in the
vicinity of the place offered no objec-

Woodhead for the revocation Of ]. Mag
getti's license for selling liquor to minors
was then brought up. In response to the
re quest of the board at it's last meeting,
Police Judge Owens furnished it with
the facts in the Maggetti case, which was
tried before him, resulting in tie acquit-
tai of the defendant. He stated that &C.
cording to the testimony introduced by
the prosecution, two boys we're sent by q
plasterer to buy fifteen cents worth of
beer at Maggetti's place, on the corner
of Buena Vista and Alpine streets, but
that Maggetti refused to sell the liquor
to them until they brought written
order from the person who sent them.
They did so and obtained the beer, but
did not drink it themselves either on the
premises or outside. Therefore no
ofense as charged was committed. The
report was fled on motion of Mr..
Lindley.
