SALOONS VIOLATING THE law
Anti Saloon League Scores, Temper

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 29.-According
to decision of the supreme court to-
day, every saloon the city is running
without legal sanction and In violation
of the law. In 1894 petition Of consent
was filed and it wa } thought to contain
the names OF 90 per Gems Of the voters as
required. The question OF the legality of
the signatures to the petition was raised
by the ASti-Saloon League, and evidence
was presented to prove that less than
the required number of voters named was
on the petition. The supreme court
holds that the evidence is sufficient to
prove the correctness Of the Leagues
claims. The saloonkeepers have signffed
their intention to apply for an injunction
to restrain the operation of the decision
until a petition can be secured.

VIM. WYNDHAM,
II. NJ. Consul


Chief Cubbon answered the consuls
letter informing him that Callahan had
been tried and convicted of burglary and
larceny. that he had a fair, impartial
trial and was now serving the six years
sentence imposed upon him and others of
the gang. If it is necessary the chief will
send the consul a copy of the indict-
ments pieadings and evidence used in the
case but it is thought the British Of
f!cials viii look no further into the case,
after getting a history of Callahan, which
easily can be furnished them.
From this it would seem that Callahan
IS just the shrewd. sleek, manipulation of
safe-craczing gangs which Detective SUIT
ton pictured him 10 be. Sutton always
claimed that Callahan was the brains of
the shorty Wayne gang.

John Callahan, one of the Clearwater
bank robbers. who aeaconvicted and SEN
fenced to six years in thespenitentiary at
this term of the district court, is evil
IDENTIFY trying to rib up trouble between
Uncle Sam and John Bull. Callahan is a
British subject and has taken his case to
the British ambassador with complaint
that he, their subject, who is entitled to
respect under any and every flag, has
been unjustly used by the officers and
courts of Sedgwick county. Judge Wall
doubtless did not know he was eentenc-
ing a Britain or he might lave trembled.
However, the deed is done. and the rep
resentatives of the United States and
Great Britain will have to settle the rest.
After Callahan had been fumtgated and
admitted into the penitenEiary he wrote
the British ambassador at Washington
and complained of his treatment The
ambassador at once referred the matter
to British Consul Wyndham, at the con-
sulate in Chicago, and yesterday Chief
of Police Cubbon received letter from
the consul, inquiring into the case Of Cal
lahan. The letter is as follows.

information in your possession respect

fully known to your department

Jones'" at the Crawford theatre Thure-

at Howe's this mofnins Although a
very young man, he has played some two
hundred distinct and absolutely different
parts and has never had what might be
termed failure. It is quite needless
at this time to recount the degree OF
success which has rewarded his most
meritorious efforts, for the public is well
informed about him and have had an
opportunity Of Seeing him many times

stock companies. In his new play,
what Happened to Jones'" Mr. Clarke

comedy achievements, Mr.. Clarke has
paid more than usual attention to indi-

house of one Ebenezer Goodly, a profess
sor of anatomy, who is induced much
against his wish TO attend a glove con-
test" so as to study the muscular sys-
tenn while in motion, as his young friend
Richard puts It. The complications aris-
ing from this indiscretion or the profess
scr are very ludicrous, as the contest is
raided by the police and the professor
narrowly Escapes arrest. OF course he is
most anxious to keep from his wife and
the world the knowledge that he has at
