nnnIsrernsi czc51uye "a Charged With cor
ruption, an investigation is under way
and there is tho very deuce to pay gener-
ally. Like most municipal scandals, tho
trouble arose over tho saloons and gam
bling houses.
Tho saloon men OF Superior have never
been noted for their close observance OF
tho liquor laws, and gaabling houses have
flourished on all sidos ever since the city
was organized. Each saloon kept what
hours it pleased and practically paid Its
liconso whom IL pleased. All that was re-
quircd Of them was that they make pro-
tense OF keeping their front doors closed
on Sunday and running their gambling
rooms so that people passing by could not
SEQ the chips on the table. Soon after
Mayor Sthfkwonther assumed tho reins OF
government II was noisod around that
there was TO DO big change, that all tho
gambling houses would hAyo TO close and
that tho saloons must obey tho law.
For few weeks this order Of things was
carried out, and then came n change.
Some Of the saloon men were allowed lib
critics that were denied Others and many a
gambling house was opened. The saloon
men who were not favored were naturally
angry and wanted to know why 1t was
that they wero Disseminated against. A
fow days ago tho disconnected ones held q
meeting and decided to thko hand In
running things themselves. They demand.
ed that all the saloon mon DO treated alike;
that games should DO allowed TO run, and
that the doors should not be closed from
ono week end TO tho other. a committee
was appointed to SEQ what could DO done,
and there was talk Of raising money 10
square things. According to aflldayits
now ON flo and IN the possession Of the
aldermen this committee SAW the mayor
and were told Tint II tho saloon men would
put up e. each they could run US thoy
pleased,
There are about 800 saloon men In the
city but some Of them objected to being
"shakon down" IN this manner. In all
hut 1915 was raised, and this was taken to
tho mayor, who refused to receive 1t, say.
