Office could barter and sell them as
they pleased. Regardless of the queS-
ton whether Mr.. Boelhauwe was afford
ed an opportunity for trial or not, the
fact remains that the case was not tried,
the ballots cast at the election were not
counted, and it was not aScertained in
that contest which candidate had received
the greatest number of legal votes.
Officers were appointed to superin-
tend the election and count the bal
lots cast, and declare the result, and
after such count declared that Mr..
Boelhauwe had received the gre ateSt
number of votes and declared him duly
elected, the result of that count has never
been revised, and stands as IL did when
made. Therefore | am of opinion that
this council can do nothing except to
stand by that count until revised by a
court OF competent jurisdiction to which
the city is a party, and its rights in the
matter determined"
The manner in which the city clerk read
this opinion was triumphant, and he read
the paper with evident pleasure and
with as much emphasis and enuncia ton
as though it were his own carefully pre-
pared oIinion.
Mr.. Vernon answered this opinion in
strong speech, of short length. but il had
not its effect on the hard headed council,
the motion to refer it to legal counsel and
lay over until another meeting of the
council prevailing, with only Beckmann's
dissent.
The city council of the City of San An
tonic had defiantly disobeyed the COM
mands of the Supreme Court of Texas, as
its citizens have repeatedly don o
with Hogg's Sunday laws and other law
full measures.
The audience left, leaving but two spec
tators.
When order had been restored,
reports of officers were presented.
Messrs. Mullaly's petition as to
sidewalk grade on Augusta street
was granted. A larger culvert in
ditch on Romano street was ordered.
names of those holding keys TO fire alarm
boxes be published, was granted.
Commission on widening Romano street
filed its report.
Entertainments on Van Buren, and other
streets were presented by the city Gu
gineer.
The petition of street car motor men
relative to regulation of hours of labor
was peremptorily rejected, after an
opinion by the city attorney that the
council only has the right to impose PEN
altieS for the security of the public in
street car transportation.
The Salac'ouS ordinance regulating
houses Of i'll fame was next presented and
read by the clerk. IL is very strict or
dinance, requiring all houses of i'll fame
and all persons pursuing the occupations
of a bawd to pay an annual license. and TO.
submit TO monthly inspections by the city
physician or his assistants. 1t was passed
under suspension of the rules.
The council then adjourned until
Thursday, as the hour was late

The Drivers Reply.

In an article in Your valuable paper.

WAR ON WHOLESALERS
Begun by Police Against Violators
of Liquor Law Constructions.
DEALERS SAY THEY WILL FIGHT 1T.
Will Be Carried to Court and May Go to
the Supreme Bench.
GENERAL DOINGS ABOUT THE CITIES

The new constructions of the liquor law
will receive a thorough test in Pittsburg,
in short time. Police Superintendent
Weir announced some time ago that he
would bring suit against wholesalers,
bottlers and brewers who have been violating
this law. He sent notices to all dealers to
this effect The law provides that not less
than - pint bottles of beer shall be sold at
one time. The Superintendent holds that
this does not mean gallon and a half in
bulk, but that the amount must be put up
in u pint bottles On investigation Super
intendent Weir found that numerous places
were keeping up their old jug trade, selling
beer in quantities as small as one quart.
A few dealers took warning by his notice
and proceeded to comply with it. But the
majority paid no attention to the
notice and continued selling rs before.
The superintendent decided to sue some
of the parties and secure a test of
the law. He is confident he will
win the cases, as he says the law is clear and
concise in its wording and cannot havea ANY
other meaning than that he has interpreted.
Accordingly on Saturday he entered infor-
nation before Alderman Gripp against
James Powers, of No. 14j Sixth avenue; JOS
eph Rohm; Of shingiss and Forbes
No. 625 Wyl:e avenue, charging
them with selling liquor without
license. Detective Robinson made similar
information before Alderman McKenna
against Samuel Abram, of No. 2sO6 Penn
avenue and Henry Heck, of No. 2942 Small
man street.
The hearings before Gripp. will be
kenna are scheduled for tomorrow.
All the cases will be hotly conteste I.
The liquor dealers have subscribed large
fund for the purpose of securing legal assis
tance on their side They claim the law
cannot be enforced as Superintendent Weir
interprets it and they want test cases. 1t is
more than probable that all the cases will
go to court. Some OF the liquor men say
they will even push the matter to the
Supreme Court if the Lower Bench
decides against them. They have plenty of
money to do it. On the other hand, Super
intendent Weir says he is willing to go as
far as they do.
There is no question in my mind" said
he, that the law rs it stands pro-
hibits wholesalers from selling less
than 12 pints of beer. The fact that
a large number of them have
been selling less quantities than this is no
secret, They ma Ike no attempt to hide the
fact. l consider it my place to see that this
best of my ability. If these people i'm
agine they can openly violate the
State laws they are badly mistaken.
As to the constitutionality of
the law that is matter for the courts to
decide and not for me. Some dealers
have declared that the law is con-
trary to the Constitution. They
But as long as this is not done they are open
to prosecution

CALL TO KEEP COOL.
Congressman Dalzell Writes a Very
Earnest Letter to His Mushroom
Clubs in the State.
'.HE'WANTS THE LEAGUE TO LIVE.
Congratulations and Applause Ring Out
Everywhere for the Defeated
PittSburger.
I.HE|WANTS THE LEAGUE TO LIVE.
.THEssTRAIGHTOUT DEMOCRATS MEET.
They,Decde MOTTO Place Ticket in the Field, but
Are Full of Fire.

The publication in THE DISPATCH, yes
terday, of Financial Secretary Robert H.
Lindsey's determination to return to the
Dalzell Clubs not admitted to the Scranton
convention the SO initiation fee paid
prior to the convention, created a breeze
among local Republicans, especially in
club circles. Senator Mech was most posi-
tive in asserting that the shift in the club
organization had in no way weakened the
league.
To prevent his being misunderstood or
misrepresented in the contest, Congressman
John Dalzell yesterday addresseda letter to
the Presidents of the Dalzell clubs through
out the State which were not allowed
in the Scranton convention, asking them
to remain in the League, and urging
on them the Importance of harmonious
organization as the only method of perpetu-
ating the Republican party and its prin-
ciples.
CONGRESSMAN DALZELL'S LETTER
In his letter Mr. Dalzell refers to the
Scranton convention. He expresses regret
at his clubs being excluded from the gath
eTlHp, Dul dShS llldb All lSSIlllS DE Cu
that the league may live. He admonishes
all Republicans to work and vote for Gregg
and Morrison. He predicts the success of
the Republican ticket in November, and,
in conclusion. asks that all the clubs of
the State keep their organizations intact
until next year in the hope that the next
annual meeting of the organization will be
the largest it has ever held.
The letter was the one subject for discus
sion at the Republican clubs last night.
The partisans are slow to persuade them
selves that the letter was made necessary by
the discomfort or dissatisfaction in the or
ganization.
CONSIDERED A MANLY ADDRESS
All agreed, however, that Mr.. Dalzells
prompt action in the premises would have a
decidedly good effect, and while he was not
present at either of the clubs he was con-
graduated and applauded frequently on
what was termed his manly letter.
Chairman Gripp was especially gratifed
with Mr.. Dalzell's action. The Republican
Chairman said: "Defeat does not sour ALE
gheny county Republicans, and the many
Republicans who fought for Dalzell now
think the more Of him when they find him
true to his party and his friends

NO DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Time Is Decided to Be Too Short to
Name One,


Name One.
The Committee of Twenty-one appointed
at the Lafayette Hall meeting of the straight
out Democrats met yesterday afternoon in
the Office OF Attorney w. ID. Moore. Mr..
Moore was not present, however. He is
Chairman of the committee, but on account
of an indisposition he was confined to his
home. DR.. George W. keyser presided,
and Charles A o. Brien was chosen Secre-
taly The meeting was well attended,
and was decidedly enthusiastic. Nearly
every member of the committe made
ringing speech. The advisability of nomi-
mating Straightout Democratic ticket was
thoroughly considered, and after prolonged
debate it was decided not to nominate such
q ticket.
4 committee was appointed to prepare
and issue an address to the Democrats of
Allegheny county. The committee is COM
posed of Thomas j. Keenan,, Sr Alfred Kerr,
Joseph Hayes, Il. b Parkinson, John Hucke-
stein, y. p. Sawyer and c. A. O'Brien. The
not nominating straightout ticket
and will say that the time
between now and the election is too
short to perfect an organization. 1t was
decided to make the address emphatic and
positive, and it was decided by vote of the
meeting to say in the address: NO decent
Democrats or Allegheny county can con-
scentiously vote for Clarence BurleiSh for
District Attorney"
The committee will meet again on Friday
afternoon, at which time the proposed ad-
dress will be read. After the meeting yes
tcrday afternoon Z. a. o Brlen said: There
is no use beating about the bush in this mat
ticket, as a rebulle to the combination of
bosses in both of the old DartieS.''

Looked for Them in the Lookup.

Another humorous incident was enacted
in the job printers strike yesterday morn
ing Nearly half of the men who were
brought here Friday and Saturday did not
report for duty yesterday morning. Their
non-appearance was understood all right
enough by the majority of the employers,
but the head of one firm could not under
stand what had became of the five men he
had working for him Saturday The first
idea that struck him was that the men had
been drinking either Saturday or Sunday
night and had been arrested. He started to
make tour of the station houses to find the
lost printers if possible. He had not gone
far when he was met by one of the striking
printers who gently but with considerable
sarcasm reminded him that if he wanted to
catch any of the missing men he should go
to Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Chicago.
There was practically nothing new in the
situation yesterday. No new printers ar
rived. but the employers claim that every
thing is going along all right and all the
houses are succeeding in getting out the
pressing orders.
