FIRE AND POLICE BOARD
Protests aud Arguments Heard on the
Question of Granting Liquor
Licenses.

AZ tho meeting Of tho Board OF Fire and
Poll'e commissioners Monday night tho main
business transacted was the hearing OF pro-
tests against the granting OF ealoon licenses.
a protest against allowing the Joseph
Schlita Brewing company a license at 3l4
South Sixteenth street was made by James
Hines. who is also an applicant for a license
in the same premises Edison Rich appeared
for the Schlltz Brewing company and NJ l..
Learned for Mr.. Henes. MIR. Learned con-
tended the applicant was corporation and
not resident OF the state, therefore II could
no obtain license as tho law read
that a license could be granted only to a
resident CT the state and to a man OF good
character. He contended that the applicant
was not a man, but a corporation The
same protest was made in the application Of
the same parties for li,ense at sixteenth
and Manderson streets. The main conten>
tion seems to be between Hines and the
Schlitz company, as both parties want to run
a salocn In the same place. The board with
held a decision in the matter
L. Nj. Mckinney, representing tho Asso-
ciatel Charities, appeared before tho board
to complain of what he called inefficient
bonds. He contended that the law said two
suretlci must bo had to each bond aud
that both CT them should qualify in the
sum OF $4,000. He said the board had been
taking two sureties IL they qualified in the
sum Of S2,500 each and he did not think that
that was complying with the law, Assist
ant City Attorney Scott was present and
also held the same views and the matter
will be taken up by the board at a later
meeting for solution.
Mayor Moores who has not been able to
attend the meetings for some time on ac-
cour; o. sereva sickness said tho matter
would have the attention of the board as
soon as possible. He also said that the
saloon men had been more than usually
prompt this year in filing the needed papers
and the board would try to keep up with
the business If 1t was necessary to hold
special meetinge to do it.
Saloon licenses were granted to Peter ].

Americans as the Bocrs In Cape Colony
outnumber the British This arrangement OF
numbers as regards population, conjoined to
the unbearablo tyranny Of the Beers in the
Transyaal over the outlanders has kept the
whole Of South Africa in an intolerable
state OF fermentation during The last twenty
years.
Third-The English colonial secretary de-
Clares that the unrest caused by the attempt
OF the Transyaal Beers to keep the outland-
crs in a state OF scrfdom has entailed upon
the English government an annual expendi-
ture of 2,5OOO 600 Did Mexico cause any ex-
penditure to Uncle Sam by her tyranny in
1916?
Fourth--lt is as well to recognize, Mr.
Editor, that this war in South Africa is a
war for the possession OF a continent and
not war about gold mines, 1t is war OF
races brought about by the worst kind Of
tyranny. The ignorance Of these Transvaal
Dutchmen has led them to think that they
could ultimately drive the English into the
sea. 1t is not an unknown cry in South
Africa, south Africa for the Dutch"
Fifth-The English had right by treaty
to see that the outlanders in the Transvaal
received fair treatment.
SiXth-You defended Americas war
against Spain to help Cuba on the ground
OF sympathy The Cubans differ in race,
language and religion to the Americans.
England interferes for very much stronger
reasons-to help her children in South
Africa and you think It wrong.
Seventh-You say England is fighting for
gold mines. This you think wrong. But it is
right for Uncle Sam to grab the Philippines.
What is robbery in South Africa is "benevo-
lent assimilation" in Asia. First cast the
beam out Of thine own eye"
Eighth may say now that the Ameri-
cans in Mexico in 1916 were not tyrannized
over then like the outlanders have been re-
Gently in the Transvaal
This is only an incomplete statement OF
England's right to thrash the Beers, but It
is sufficient. This war is holy and just
war so far as England is concerned and she
will not sheath the sword till the unjust
tyrannical Boer olgarchy in South Africa
is swept from the face of the earth. Mark
this. Respectfully,
AN ENGLISH AMERICAN.

General Manager Kenyon at once reap
pointed James L. Paxton as general SUI,
perintendent Of tho yards. Reports were re-
ceived and the stockholders were apparently
pleased at tho showing made.

NJ. Kenyon has mado a great number Of
improvements at the yards since he has had

H1 has, by hil hard work and influence
pulled the Stock Yards company out of the
rut and has inducted his personal magnetism
into each department of the great concern
In Colonel Sharp's department 1t is the same
and for this reason the directors saw no
reason for change. In tho reappointment
of James l.. PaXtcu as general superintend
ent, Mr.. Kenyon felt that he could not serve
the company better ard therefore announced
tho appointment as soon as the election OF
otficors waa over Taken all together, the
meeting was most harmonious one and
the showing made by the management was
most pleasing to stockholders and directors
Very little was done about improvements,
as such matters were left to the discretion
o. thu general manager.
Reports made showed over 10 900 900 brick
had been used during the past season in
paving the yards and that the same number
might be used during the coming year If
agreeable to the directors. Paving may

discretion of the general manager. AS for
tho erection Of pavilion for the show and
sale of fancy stock this will come under the
jurisdiction of the general manager and the
directors at meeting to BIO held later.

Four men with dirty faces and guns in
their hands entered Joe Eggers saloon at
Thirtieth and streets about 10 o'clock last
night and induced him to put up his hande.
After they had secured $50 in money, a
watch and revolver the highwaymen re-
peated the Thompson act by locking Egg
gers in the ice chest. He secured his lib
erty shortly afterwards and telephoned an
account of the affair to police headquarters.
The police went out on the trail, but did
not succeed in landing the men wanted.

Tho description of the hodups agrees in
both cases and it is inferred that a gang
iufests the city. The police are on the
lockout but it is hard work to travel about
the muddy streets at night and consequently
there is little chance Of the robbers being
caught.

LETTER FROM sCHLEY.
The AdmiraPs Regrets for Not Being
Able to he with His Men.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The first aniver-
sary of the naval victory Of Santiago was
celebrated in this city by partial suspen-
sion of business and by the display Of some
bunting. The exchanges were closed, as
were also many business houses, but the
banks and city Offices were open as usual
There was large exodus of excursionists
who took advantage of the fine weather
About 200 of the enlisted men of the United
States cruiser Brooklyn, which is at the
navy yard here. had a picnic to celebrate
last years victory. They marched through
the streets of Brooklyn carrying banners.
among these being the portrait of Rear Ad-
miral Schley. Among the other banners was
one with the words CT Admiral Schley:
There is honor enough for ALL" The men
had expected Admiral Schley to take part in
the picnic, but he sent regrets.
Chief Boatswain w. +. Hill read the fol-
lowing letter from Admiral Schley: sWill
you say TO the boys of the Brooklyn that
have not been able to obtain release from an
engagement made prior to the receipt of
their invitation and that l regret extremely
not to be able TO have the pleasure of this
July with them. they shared the dam
gers OF the last with me- hope they NAV
enjoy this day to the fullest measure, and
present in the spirit. hope my brave boys
will act up TO the spirit of my report OF
last July 3. that there was glory enough for
all OF US, and the part taken so conspicu-
ously by the Brooklyn on that day gives
them proud right 10 so enjoy this day."
The flag Of Admiral Schley was hoisted
at the grounds and salute OF thirteen guns
was fired from a small howitzer. The battle
flag OF the Brooklyn was hoisted on the

ty-one guns was fired from the Brooklyn.

NEW THING In SCIENCE.
Inner Walls of q Mans stomach Sue
cessfully Photographed.

CHICAGO, July 3-Photographing the in
terror of mans stomach. an experiment
which has hitherto been attended with so
many failures as to cause II TO be consid-
cred almost among the impossibilities, has
been successfully performed in this city.
The inner walls of the stomach of James
c. Foster, wealthy lumberman of Cleve-
land, o., were successfully photographed.
with the result that large tumor was dis
covered TO have formed in the organ, which,
according TO the physicians In attendance,
would have caused his death in a short
time. Mr.. Foster has left for Cleveland,
taking the photograph with him, and, with
1t as guide, he will be operated on in a
Cleveland hospital.
The apparatus used in taking the picture
consists of a rubber tube one-eighth of an
inch In diameter and about three feet long.
At the end of the tube is a rubber bulb,
the walls of which are as thin as IL is posi-
BILE to make them. giving the bulb when in
fiated the appearance of a toy balloon. The
graphic emulsion and acts as the plate on
which the picture Is taken. The patient is
made TO swallow the bulb, which Is then
inflated by means OF air blown into the tube
until the bnib entirely fills the stomach,
its flexible sides conforming to the walls of
the stomach. An x-ray exposure is then
made. the tube Is withdrawn and the pic
ture on the thin rubber bulb is developed
as In ordinary x-ray photographs.

DEATH RATE DECREASING.
New Cases OF Yellow Fever Are, How
ever, Increasing.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 3.-An in
crease in the number of new cases Of yellow
fever and a decrease in the death rate are
striking features Of the situation. There
have been ninety-four cases up TO date. of
which seventeen have proved fatal. Eleven
out of the first fifteen attacked succumbed
to the disease. Nearly all were camp fol-
lowers of the drinking sort. Eliminating
these the death rate has really been small.
To-day the medical corps was reinforced by
several doctors from Havana. The fever
hospital which is on an island across the
bay, Is excellently equipped and it is i'm
possible TO overestimate the devotion and
heroism of the medical men. There is no
fever in the city.
The programme for the payment of the
Cuban troops has been altered owing to the
proximity of the disease and Aug. has
been fixed upon as a probably available
date. All other points in the province will
be dealt with first. Twelve hundred Cubans
have been registered At Manzsnillo. where

ranged by the quartermaster- rtment
that the last of the volunteers Will leave
Manila not later than the 10th of Septem-
Der. and it is expected they will all be away
by the 1st.
THE recruits required for the regular reg
iments in the Philippines are estimated at
GAS. The number of recruits now at sea
are 1907: number OF recruits now at San
Francisco are 3.2S4; total Of 4,791; leaving
1.547 yet to be provided for.
1.-The large number CT vacancies existing
in the Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twenty
third Infantry is due TO the fact that these
regiments went with General Merritt S
original expedition to the Philippines and
were not filed to the maximum; also, that
the men in these regiments who enlisted
for the war are just now being discharged;
the men enlisting for the war in the other
regiments were discharged before the regi-
ments left this country and the vacancies
are due TO the increase of the companies
from 106 to 12s men. At the rate of enlist
ments for the last few weeks the entire
number will be enlisted by the close OF the
Dresent week
