Commissioners Having Exciting Tivae-
James Welch Goes West.
The License Commissioners are &. IL.
and there Is fun at the rate OF 10 pounds
pressure to the square inch with the deal
ers In ardent spirits and the party In
power. Their meeting for granting IL
censes Saturday was but an opener for
more business which has compelled them
TO enforce and look after the law by the
rise OF public sentiment recently shown.
Their meeting Saturday night ad-
journed to the private sanctum of mem
Der Aufhier but newspaper men were in
vited there, which was not relished by
some OF the board of directors of the grand
OLD party. There was majority there and
oy special message they proceeded to
where requested the Lincoln Republican
headquarters. On the way there, how
ever, the third member was met and by
mutual consent the trio In company with
Town Sergeant Keene proceeded to the
District Court room where the auartette
discussed the screen law, the present state
OF things, which they claim, is not Just
proper. The copy of the Pawtucket or
dinance which was sent the board chair
man Sloane stated the secretary sent back
and said when they desired such, they
would send for them.
The Sunday selling and the screen law
were the two principal topics discussed
and Town Sergeant Keene was authorized
to enforce 1t to the letter. He said he
should begin at once and that the dealers
must conform to the law In every parti-
culsr. Rear doors, windows and curtains
Will receive a thorough inspection, and
some OF the dealers will be obliged to
spend few more dollars for improve
ments to suit the officials. He will pay
particular attention to the partitions Of
which 1t is claimed there are many not
properly constructed. He will have the
the bar-rooms SO opened during the
seventh day, that all parts of 1t will be
visible.
After the discussion at the town house,
one of the members left, and the majority
again started for the Republican head
quarters where Keene, Authier, Walcott
and John Dennis we're In consultation in
the elaborate parlor of the headquarters.
IL Is not known definitely what trans
pired, but 1t Is safe to state from what
was learned after the departure of the
aboye men for their homes, that this busi-
ness was again talked over in the presence
| of the grand dictator.
The fact that the June election Is so
close at hand the present trouble does not
| set well on his mind, and 1t is currently
reported that his orders are to ego slow.n
The citizens have demanded that attention
be given thts business, and the Dictator
must come into the fold or get left. He
will, however, make matters as agreeable
as possible for those whom he doubled up
with but two years ago and who today
may play possum and throw the winning
hand elssw here.
The commissioners are In a rather un-
pleasant predicament, and Chairman
Sloane said last night, "Do not make too
much trouble"
A new member of the board goes for the
drus stores in a rabid manner, and says
tax them goo Tor license. He wants the
work Of the commissioners made public,
| that the people may know what they are
dong. Since licenses were granted to GER
tain places Saturday night he has received
/ complaints. IL there is no change in con-
ducting these places close watch will be
kept on them and their licenses revoked.
Ii remains to be seen whether the Board
and the grand dictator demand the Town
| Sergeant to treat all in the business alike,
or few favored ones be chosen as
formerly has been the case.
Severed His Connection.
James Welch, popular member Of the
hrm OF Welch Bros, closed his labors with
the concern last evening. He leaves for
the West Thursday evening, where he
will engage In business. Jim Is popular
In society and social circles and has the
best wishes OF large circle of immediate
| friends and acquaintances for future suc-
cess.
The Number Increased.
The action of the License Commission
| ers OF Pawtucket in refusing some of the
| dealers on Pleasant View a license
Monday sent an influx of visitors to this
place and Mondays trade pulled up big.
The visitors came from all directions, and
many came with a little "jag" which
rapidly increased In size. The police were
| unusually busy moving the sight seers,
and covered their beats more than the
usual number of times yesterday. What
| Is Pawtucket's loss Is the gain financially
here.
