indefinite, and moved to refer the whole

bidden hours. the gentleman said the
report showed ali the saloons mentioned
had violated this rule, and the commits
sion would stultify itself if it did not re-
woke the license OF all who do not have
restaurant licenee.
Mr.. Stern broke into the discussion by
saying he did not think the commission
had any power anyhow. 1t was the
duty OF the chief OF police to arrest these

or law, and let the court adjudge them
guilty before their licenses are revoked.
Mr.. Bosbyshell said he was will to
give the devil his due and insisted on

Mr.. Bos osbyshell, excitedly-I want to
know what this means. Why do you
want to lay eff these eight men? ii

MIR. Bradish-It is not worthy OF q
body of men such as we claim 20 be.
Mr.. osbyshell-Seversl OF these men
are new men; have just bought new
uniforms and guns. 1t tis an outrage.
