SALOONS MUST REMAIN CLOSED
SUNDAYS AND AFTER 10 M
Nine Complaints Filed Yesterday
and Warrants Issued-Po1ice
Commission to Act

For atime at least the saloon mid
night and Sunday closing ordinance is to
be rigidly enforced by the police depart
ment. Nine complaints were iiled in the
police court yesterday afternoon against
saloon men and warrants were issued
upon them. The warrants were placed
In the hands OF Special Officer w. A.
Moore. who at once left the building, re-
fusing, of course. to state whom the
complaints were against. No arrests
were made upon them up to o'clock
this morning so far as the records at the
police station show, but 1t Is possible
that Moore may have taken bonds from
the saloon men and instructed them to
appear in court today.
The effect of this action by the police
department upon the saloons in the
business portion of the city last night
was very marked. Saloons which had
not been closed, night or day for months.
were dark and deserted. The FOUNDERS
had either to do without liquor. resort to
the clubs or work the restaurant game.
1t is expected that the police commits
sion will take a hand in the matter and
take cognizanss of the arrests that are
made for violations of the closing or
dinance. More than one of the COM
missioners are said to be in favor of
adopting a rule to the effect that when

such a charge his license shall be re-

he stated that it was not his intention to
| make such statement and that he was
| not compelled to join the church.
Brother Pitman then arose and said
| that though he was not in the state
when Mr.. Rohde's testimony was given,
| ne was amazed and panied that the pro-
| fessor should have made such asser-
| tions 1t was true that he was a men,
| Der of the board of education when Mr..
| Rohde became a member but he had
received his appointment as teacher in
| June and did not join the church until
October. The gentleman had ap
preached him several times about join
| ing the church but he did not look upon it
very favorably. as he did not consider
| the motive good. He suspected that the
| professor was taking the step to make
| his position assured. On one occasion
| he found Professor Rohde had been
| waiting at his home for him for some
| time and had been talking to Mrs. Pit
man about the matter After conVers
ing with them some time Rohde said:
why, you people don't seem to want
me to join your church" Mr.. Pitman
had replied that if his motive was sin
| cere they wanted him.
Mr.. Pitman afterward changed his
opinion of the man and felt regret that
he had misjudged him. The statements
he made on the witness stand We're
| wholly false without a single solitary
grain of truth" Had he admitted all
who applied there would probably not
be a debt of $4,000 on the building as
| now. The speaker said he was not there
to defend himself, he did not need it,
but since this investigation began he
had been pC~.nded on all sides in fact
| there was not a spot on him that was
not sore.
Mrs. Pitman confirmed her husbands
statements. Professor Rohde had stat
ed to her that he wanted to live to join
his children in the other world.
Professor Keppel stated that Mr..
Rohde said to him that he was not COM
PEELED to join the church but that he was
held up on dedication day for so. The
minister said from the pulpit: Don't
let him get out" Mr.. Keppel attributed
that impression on Mr.. Rohdes part to
his ignorance of church dedications, as
such expressions were customary on
similar occasions. The doors We're all
| open; one had no latch on it and another
was held open by a member. Rohde ex-
pressed regret in June last that he could
not contribute his proportion of the
pastors salary, but would do so as soon
as the mortgage on his house was paid
off and that did not sound as though he
had been compelled to join.
The chairman expressed regret that
Professor Rohde was not present to
speak for himself Professor Keppel
said that as the church had refused +,
accept Mr. Rohde's resignation and as
he had declined to appear there was
only one course left for the official board
to pursue and that was to dismiss him
under charges, and therefore he would
so move. The chairman put the motion
and though but one voice ventured to
say AYE" audibly, it was declared car
ried and the meeting adjourned.

There were not more than fifteen per.

proposed trial of Professor Rohde and
they were members of the official board
They were slow in assembling and the
earlier comers sat around in small
groups discussing the situation and
watching the door anxiously for the
appearance of the victim.
The minutes wore on but the professor
did not show up. The meeting was
finally called to order with the election
of Professor Francis as chairman, fol-
lowed with prayer on the part of Brother
Pitman. The secretary stated that the
object of the meeting was to listen to
charges against Professor Rohde for
statements made on the witness stand
at the investigation of the board of edu-
cation.
Professor Keppel then read the fol-
lowing letter:

STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. Sit was
learned at the police office this after
noon that last night H. E. Finnison was
mysteriously assaulted at his residence
in the City Homestead, a suburb. Fin
nison went out into his yard in the dark
ness to do something. He was suddenly
seized and held by a woman. At the
same instant he saw two men in front of
him. Then everything became a blank

He said he could remember now that the
remark he made to his wife was a repe-

seized him just before he was struck.
Finnison is the man who swore to the
complaint against Chas. Burns a few

YOUNG EDISON
Builds a Balloon, But He Never Con
suited His Father

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-Thos. A. Edi-
son, jr., is experimenting with an air
ship which he believes will be successful.
The ship is the invention of Frank
Sauther Of Milwaukee. Wis, but Edison
hit by accident upon a gas which he be-
lieves is the only thing required to make
the ship a practical thing Sails were
substituted instead of any propeling
power. Mr. Edison says:
1T was at this point that I conceived
the really new principle. 1t struck me
that it would be good idea to initiate the
sails with gas. thus making them serve
as balloons, as we'll as supplying the SAIL
ing power. 1t would not do to make
baggy balloons of the sails, so they were
divided into numerous compartments,
which, when inflated, resemble water
bags. The tubes running to the bal
looms were tapped into place to supply
gas for the main sail, and rubber tubes
carried the gas to the two jibs. The
compartments of the main sail were cor
nected by narrow openings the gas thus
flowing freely through the entire sail.
"A rudder completed the airship. Af-
ter many failures we were successful
The ship actually flew and we succeeded
in steering it. I believe that the inflated
sail idea is the one that is going to solve
the aerial navigation problem"
