A STRONG FIGHT.
That Is What Tho Waco Reservation Saloon
Men Are Making Against a Council
Ordinance.

Waco, Tex, Jan. 5.--(Special.) 1.-THE
liquor sellers doing business in that por-
ton Of the city known as the "reserya-
ton which by ordinance Is set aside
for prostitutes, licensed by the city, pro-
pose to make a strong fight on the Or
dinonce recently passed prohibiting the
Keeping Of saloons within the limits of
the district, They were arrested and
raised interesting questions as TO the
coustitutionality Of the ordinance. The
motion by their attorneys to quash the
complaints alleges that the ordinance Is
void became It's attempts to engraft To-
cal option features on a particular local
ity OF the city contrary TO the powers
conferred In the city charter and 20 the
state laws; that IL is class legislation,
only a small part OF the commu-
nifty being affected by it, and repugnant
10 the constitution and general policy
of the state; that IL Is an unreasonable
restraint Of q common right ard contra
venes the defendants rights guaranteed
by the laws Of the state The legality
OF the ordinance is the subject OF con-
rary opinions and much discussion.
Mayor. McCulloch stated this morning
that the questions presented were iu-
portant and he would carefully consider
them.
IL Is probable that the legality and
consututionality OF the ordinance will
not Doe settled until II Is passed upon by
the court of last resort. The defendants
express their determination to carry the
hight that far II il IL necessary.
