compelled to pay a license The appli-
cation Of Mrs. Tankenoff to sell liquor
at the concert hall and saloon 454 Rob
ert street, was approved in the face
a protest from the Christian Citizens
league.
The committee on license reported a
batch Of ten applications for liquor
licenses, including that of Mrs. ].
TankenOff. On motion Of Mr.. Daily,
the Tankenoff application was with
drawn to be acted on separately, and
the others approved. Mr.. Daily then
moved the Tankenoff application be
approved, and cracked the party whip
in an eloquent speech. Mr. DAILY said
he did not care to cast any ref ections
on the Christian Citizens league, but
he was of the opinion that a majority
of them were prohibitionists and were
| trying to place the administration in
a false position. The majority OF the
league was opposed to the granting
, OF any saloon licenses. The time had
come, Mr.. Daily said, when the Repub-
lican party should be considered re-
spons1ble and competent to pass On the
! issuance of licenses without the CEN

Attorney Phillips in reply to questions.
SAID the courts could not revoke the
! license on the testimony which Mr.
Doty had outlined. The assistant cor
poration attorney did not think it ad-
Vlsable for the council to go into the
/ nearing Of testimony. There was hard
/ ~ a place in the city where the law
had not been violated. and if the coun-
. Gil should go into each case consider
able time would be wasted.
The talk made by Mr. DAILY about the
bad position in which the Citizens
league was placing the administration
had the desired effect, for the motion
! to grant the license was passed by a
! vote of to 2, those voting against
1t being MeSsrs. Reardon and ThOmp-
