Muncie People Seek to Force saloons
Out of Districts.

Special 10 II e Indiana polls Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 3-In Mayor Gro
mer's court this morning bartenders for
Acy Kluf and John McGuygan were tried
and convicted on the charge of violating
the Muncie ordinance of the Moore saloon
law, and were fined. The cases were ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court. These are the
first of many cases brought by the commit
tee of one hundred, organized among the
church people and others, to attempt to
force the saloons into the business part of
the city out of the residence districts.
Nearly fifty saloons in the suburban fac
tory districts are interested, and it is the
intention of the committee to force all to
move from the residence districts. Two
cases prosecuted under the same ordinance
went through the Supreme Court and We're
affirmed. This caused the opponents of the
saloons TO push the work further. The
State Liquor League will assist in defending
the cases. If these prosecutions are sue
cessful hundreds of saloon keepers in the
State will suffer likewise, as already the
local committee has been urging other
towns to organize for the same purpose.
Each drink sold by these saloon keepers
makes a separate charge on which they can
be prosecuted
