CHARLES sEGps SALOON ON WEST
SEVENTH, AND l.. F. KORNS'
HOUSE ENTERED.
WAS DONE SUNDAY MORNING.
THREE YOUNG MEN ROUNDED UP
CHARGED WITH COMMITTING
THE CRIME.
CONFESSION MADE BY ONE MAN,
1t Is Said, Led to the Arrest of the
Other TwO-StOIen Property
Found.

A trio Of young men were roundeo
up by Detectives Gruber and Murnane
and Officer Mccall yesterday on the
charge of burglary. They are Frank
Bilej, living with his parents at 525
Bay street, Fred viota, Of 61S Bay
street, and Joseph Moschek, living at
415 Arbor street. Two accusations Of
burglary are lodged against Viota and
Moschek, while Bilej is charged with
only one offense.
The young men, 1T Is alleged, are re-
sponsible for burglarizing of the
saloon of Charles Segi, 1913 West Sew
enth street, and the residence of L. F.
Korns, 1863 st. Clair street, early last
Sunday morning. The three, it is
thought by the police, were implicated
in the saloon robbery where keg Of
beer, 1000 cigars, several bottles Of
liquor and 80 cents in money was taken.
An entrance was secured through a
basement window. by which the
thieves escaped with their booty. After
the saloon robbery 1t Is alleged that
Viota and Moschek broke in the rear
door Of Korns' residence and ransack-
ed the house from top to bottom. The
place was damaged by fire a week ago
and was untenanted, though valuable
household effects were left behind the
bolted doors. At this place an expen-
s1ve marble clock was stolen, also a
parlor lamp and gold watch chain,
together with numerous smaller arti-
cles.
Both burglaries were reported to the
police Sunday morning, and Detectives
Gruber and Murnane detailed to bring
In the perpetrators. The detectives
worked all day and the greater part
Of Sunday night as there was no clue
to the identity Of the thieves, but sue
ceeded in connecting Bilej with the sa-
loon robbery, and arrested him at his
home early yesterday morning. When
taken to the central station it is said,
he made a confession duplicating
Moschek and Viota, and also credited
the Korns burglary to them.
While the detectives were searching
for the two men in the vicinity of their
homes yesterday afternoon, they were
arrested on East Seventh street by
Officer Mccall who found them trying
to dispose of the clock and lamp taken
from the Korns' residence. Officer Nc
Call knew nothing of the burglary, but
sent Moschek and Viota to the station
on suspicion. When searched a watch
chain and charm taken from Korns'
house and also number Of other arti-
cles identified by the owner were found
In their possession. The prisoners are
each about twenty years Of age. They
will be arraigned in the police court
today. ~

Validity of the Bicycle Ordinance
About Lanterns Questioned.

Validity of the Bicycle Ordinance
About Lanterns Questioned.
James Neill, Of the Giffen-Neill stock
company, who was arrested Saturday
night on the charge Of violating the
bicycle ordinance, as told in the
G b e of Sunday, appeared for trial
in the police court yesterday. Mr..
Neill was accused Of failing to provide
his bicycle with a lantern, as is re-
quired by the new ordinance. Through
his attorney, Herman Oppenheim, the
accused admitted the alleged offense,
but also entered a plea of not guilty,
as result of determination to fight
the case on the ground of the unconsti-
tutionality Of the ordinance. This po-
sition was taken by Mr.. Oppenheim
when the prosecution called officer
O'Neill to the stand to testify as to
the arrest Of Mr.. O'Netll.
we will admit" said Mr.. Open
helm, that the defendant was last Sat-
urday evening riding a bicycle upon
the streets of st. Paul without having
attached thereto a lantern, but we ask
for the discharge Of the defendant,
upon the ground that the ordinance
extends the enacting powers Of the
council beyond that allowed by the
charter, and, furthermore, because it
is unreasonable and foolish"
llS CIld1 lSl, MIL OppClllSluI ClclllllCu,
gave the council no right to regulate
the style of wheel which should be rid
den, nor was the municipal body en-
powered to legislate as to its equip
ment. The council had right, no
doubt, to enact a law against fast or
reckless driving or riding on the
streets, but nowhere in the charter,
Mr.. Oppenheim declared, was there a
provision for the regulation Of bicycles
or any other kind of a vehicle. The
section of the ordinance requiring a
bicyclist to have lighted lantern on
his wheel after sunset, when 1t was
an undisputed fact that, in this part of
the country, it was daylight several
hours otter sunset, Mr.. Oppenhiem de-
clared was so ridiculous that it would
not be upheld by the courts.
On the grounds advanced, Mr.. OPP
penheim moved for his clients dismiss
sal, but Judge Orr stated that, If the
case We're to- be contested on points of
law instead of fact. 1t would be neces-
sary to take continuance The mat
ter was, therefore, postponed until this
afternoon. 1t is stated by both Mr..
O'Neill and his attorney that, If a con-
viction results in the municipal court,
the matter will be carried as a test
case before the supreme court.

PASS UP THE ALDERMAN.
Eighth Warders Ignore Kaldunski
in Making Protest.


Aldermen Sanborn and Allard, Of
the license committee Of the board OF
aldermen, held a meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, and passed on a batch of appli-
cations for liquor licenses. A delegation
Of citizens, from that portion Of the
Eighth ward near st. Anthony avenue
and ST. Adams street, were on hand to
protest against the granting Of the ap
plication of NJ Stahlmann for a saloon
license at 744 ST. Anthony avenue.
A petition signed by fifty-six property
owners and residents was presented,
which protested against the license be-
ing granted. The grounds for the pro-
test were that the locality was solely a
resident district, that 1t was only one
block from school building, that there
was no public necessity for a saloon
at the point, and that it was contrary
to the public welfare, and particularly
to the interests of those living In the
locality. e. X. Clymer, Frank Shoop
and T. A. Shirley, three of the petition
ers, were present in person and explain
ed that the former proprietor of the
place had been obliged to close last
January, owing to there not being
enough trade to warrant his continuing
in business. Nearly all Of the custo-
mers, the gentlemen stated, were those
who drove to the saloon and none OF
the residents wanted the place open.
T. A. Shirley stated that the saloon
had been running since the middle OF

IN THE WRONG STORE.
VacIov vor1icky Goes to the Capitol
for Marriage License.

vaclov Vorlicky changed his working
clothes for his black coat and white
cravat, hied himself to the home Of
the little lady whom he has been
courting, and announced to her that
the happy day had at last come, and
he would go and get license. Vaclov
is in the milk business, and at certain
intervals secures his license from the
state dairy department, SO there was
TO doubt in his mind as to where a
man in search of a license should go.
When he appeared before Secretary
Sanborn, clad in his very best, with
his auburn hair parted carefully in the
middle, the secretary had no nisgiv-
ings, but proceeded to fill out the US
ual milk license as he had done before.
When the secretary found that the
last license issued had not expired
and mentioned the fact, Mr.. Vorlicky
explained that it was not a milk license,
but a license to wed, that he desired.
When Mr. Sanborn had recovered from
the surprise, he referred the would-be
groom to the city hall, where, later in
the day, he secured the wished-for doc
unlent.

minors were allowed to congregate in
and about the saloon. Aid. Sanborn
asked what position the alderman OF
the ward took in the matter, and was
informed that the Eighth ward alder
man catered to the saloon people, and
for this reason nothing had been said
to him about the case.
The committee decided to report the
application and protest to the alder
men at their meeting tonight without
recommendation, and those opposed to
the granting of the license were direct
ed to be present at that time and state
their objections.

Three Men Taken to the CentraA

Detectives Daily and Campbell ar
rested trio of strangers at the union
depot yesterday on the charge of vag-
rancy. They were doing nothing in
particular, but 1t is to this fact that
they owe their arrest, as 1T was the
fear that they would 'get busy with
some unsuspecting ruaalite during the
day which led the detectives to lock
them up. The police thought they
might be confidence operators, II not
the ones who assisted in turning sev-
eral tricks in the city lately. AT the
central station the prisoners gave the
names of Henry Hamilton, John
Barnes and Charles De France. Hamil-
ton who is AN elderly man, is said to
have operated locally some years ago,
while Barnes, who travels under the

are new ones to the st. Paul police.
The men will be arraigned before
