PASADENA, Feb. "A meeting war
held at the Universalist church last

ways and means of suppressing the
sale OF liquor, which 1t is claimed is
being carried on by many OF the req
taurants and drug stores in this city in
violation OF the city ordinance regulat-
ing the same.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. P. G. Wooster. who read an open
ing paper upon the local situation. The
law, the speaker said, was being vio-
lated daily and it was time the people
who deslre to SEQ Pasadena maintain
the reputation which she has gained as
residence city to be up and make their
influence felt. Sincs the city was first
founded war had been waged against the
saloon element. OF late. however, the
people have gone to sleep on the subject
and the consequences are becoming ap~
parent in the fragrant violations which
have recently been made manifest. He
was glad OF the course pursued by Mrs.
Jones in bringing the violators to justice.
Such people should receive the united
support OF all l2w-ebiding citizens. The
paper was followed by general dis
eussion of the subjsct.
DR.. Allen. who led liquor camp aign
few years ago. VISA OF the opinion that
the people needed stirring up. He
thought the matter lay in great meas.
uro with the voters, but that the
churches and allied societies could 10

be held on Friday OF next week, upon
ways and means OF enforcing the pr resent t
ordinance. Prof. Saunders will speak

THE LIQUOR SELLERS.
Fined 5000.
Rctly an easy time oil it in Pasadena at
present. OF the three firms recently ar
rested for selling wine and beer only
two have been tried and found guilty
and sentenced to pay fine, amounting &
10 $500 in the total.
Messrs. Confer & Robertson, pro-
prietors OF the Tivo!i restaurant, and
Perry Fluke of the Omaha restaurant,
were up before Recorder Rossiter this
morning to receive sentence.
The fret pair were given $3.50 esch
and Fluke received the maximum fine,
$500. In reviewing the oases the court
called attention to the fact that Fluk Q
sold liquor of all kinds without any pre-.
tense of even obeying the spirit OF th Q
law. He informed the defendant that
such place could not be tolerated and
that he must change his methods or
quit doing business. In the case of
Confer and Robertson it was held that
each was on trial separately and was
liable to the full penalty. The place
they run, however, was of different
class, and there was no back room or bar.
Judge Fl. 81. Rose appeared in both OF
the cases, and asked that execution be
delayed five days, In order to give the
defendants a chance to appeal, if they
80 decide. The motion was granted.
1t is understood that If the cases are
taken to the superior court an attempt
will be made to knock out the ordl-
nance under which conviction was
secured.
