The Afternoon Session.

w nen the commission met again at 4
o'clock to hear the charges the mayor
and Commissioner Weldon were absent.
Mrs. Gustina Dupuy was called upon
TO give evidence regarding the New Or
leans saloon, 321 East Second street.
She testified that the report of Secretary
Moffat was unfounded.
Detectives Auble and Benson said that
the place was very disreputsble, always
full OF dissolute men and women, thieves
and persons who dance there.
wEPT LIKE A cHaLD.
Mrs. Dupuy broke down and wept like
a child on account of the officers stating
that her place is unusually bad. She
was almost broken hearted at the state.
ments, and on retiring from the room,
said S.
snow, Chief. 1 hope you WON'T be
hard on me."
Officer Wright said that Mrs. Dupuy
had, during the last few months, en-
deavored to keep a better place, but
that the general reputation of the saloon
is very bad it had been resort for dis
solute characters of the worst type.
Mr.. Bradish moved that the license OF
the saloon in question be revoked sec.
onded by Mr.. Bosbyshell and carried
unanimously.
ANOTHER ONE sQUELCHED.
The next saloon to come upon the
gallows" was that at 3l3 New High
street, conducted by M. Felchin.
Mr.. Felchin said that he had singers
there, but no high kickers. The women
who visit the boxes do not sit in the
mems laps, he said.
Officer Rice gave opposite testimony,
besides saying that the place is visited
by beardlese youth.
Detective Auble said that the place
was one where short-skirted, high
kicking women appear on the stage, and
that the place is visited by prostitutes
and minors.
Mr.. Bosbyshel, moved that the license
be revoked, and it was carried unani-
mously.
A DIVE SALOON UNFRAMED.
Jean Rappet was called to show why
his license in the Basket saloon, at 719
North Alameda street. shoald not be re-
voked.
The proprietor was called in. He
testified that the report of Secretary
MOHdtb WAS SUOuJ CUEIbCb-
The chief said that he had recon-
mended Lenert and Rappet to serve
drinks by the back way instead of at
the front. thus keeping the prostitutes
from the front of the buildings.
Bosbyshell said he thought it better
to have saloon there than to have the
women run all over town to get drinks.
Mr. Bosbyshell moved that the matter
of Rappet serving drinks by means of
be referred to the city at
torney. No second.
Mr.. Bradieh moved that the license
be revoked. There was no second. He
said that since Lenert's Incense was re-
voked, Rappet's should be also revoked,
as both were in about the same place
and about the same kind of q saloon in
reputation.
1t was moved that the matter be laid
over q week. Carried.
NEW SALOON REGULATIONS.
Mr.. Bradish then asked that the new
saloon rules be read, and offered the
amendment:
