A Measure for Better Con.
troll of Retailing.
A Special Wire and Beer License.
Proposal TO Making a Radical
Change of System.

4 gentleman who Is quite well up in
official circles is preparing a bill for an
act 10 restrict or better control the re-
tail liquor business. For his task he
has gathered reliable information from
every settlement in the Republic.
These reports alone are very interest
ing- One citizen makes the statement
that the granting Of q license at Ger
tain place reduced the amount Of
drunkenness. Another official at an
other place states that the granting Of
a license made more drunkenness.
The measure mentioned here is inde-
pendent Of the findings or recommen-
datiOns Of the Liquor Commission
which made q special report at the
last session OF the legislature. Much
OF the data returned by the commits
sion. however, will be used. High and
low license and license for wine and
beer have been discussed at length and
carefully considered by the official who
viii frame the bill and those with
whom he was consulted Plan for spe-
cial permits az low rate for light wines
and beers is not favored for the rea-
son that investigation has disclosed
the impracticability OF confning the
/ holders TO sales OF the especial liquors
mentioned in their licenses And
/ again II Is feared that any low license
would result in the establishment OF
I numerous small places that would re-
quire an enlargement OF the poliee

The Honolulu license is thought Il

The San Francisco call., 1897-02-20

Stuart, Vendig says, promised to share
expenses, profits or losses of bringing Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons together. The
counsel fees would be $500 and the rent of
the arena would be 81, 500. Vendig says
that he told Stuart to go ahead, but after
the latter reach ed Texas he wrote letter,
saying that the cost would be much more.
In reply to this letter, Vendig says that he
wrote Stuart to go ahead and draw on him
whenever he needed money.
1t is now a matter of history that the
bout was prohibited in Texas owing to the
action OF the Legislature, and after a
fruitless effort to bring it off in Arkansas
Stuart presented an itemized bill to Ven
dig for expenses amounting to $50, ,522 and
an additional bill OF $1,000.
When Stuart and Vendig parted at
Little Rock, Ark, in the autumn of 1895
Vendig says that Stuart promised to fol-
low Fitzsimmons to Australia and that he
told Stuart to go ahead, and that he would
be with him in anything that he should
do. A month later Vendig received
message from Stuart, who was then at
Houston, Tex, saying that he had offered
$50, 1000 as a purse for Corbett and Fitz-
sim mons to fight anywhere.
This proposition, Vendig says, he noti-
