THE AHRENS CASE HEARD
NORTH INDIANAPOLIS PEOPLE BE-
FORE COMMISSIONERS.
The Case VIII BE Argued Next Tues
day-Opposition to saloon
Near Library.

About forty voters of North Indian
apolis were before the County Commission
ers yesterday afternoon TO protest against
the granting of liquor license TO Herman
J. Ahrens, who wishes to start saloon
at the corner OF Udell and Clifton streets.
opposite the North Indianapolis branch
OF the public library. The delegation did
not represent a temperance element and
some were not opposed TO Ahrens running
a saloon elsewhere. but with the people
up there it is either the saloon or the
library. The School Board has given warn
ing that IL the saloon is established on
the corner, the library will be removed
This is regarded as serious loss and the
saloon will be fought with all the energy
and zeal OF the combined force, IL the
license is granted.
Ahrens was present with two attorneys,
but the North indianapolis delegation was
without legal advice. The attorneys tried
10 get the commissioners TO grant the
license on the ground that the remon-
STRANGE fied had not a sufficient number
OF names. The petition presented yester-
day contains more than the Nicholson law
specifies. but the time of filing had passed.
County Attorney Brown was called TO add
wise the commissioners. He said, where
and there Is question to injury to a
public building. Ii Is a competent point for
consideration. The demonstrators then
asked for a continuance I'm order that they
might obtain legal advice and make up
issues. The continuance was granted and
the hearing will be next Tuesday morning
az o'clock,
Ahrens said that II he had known there
was such opposition to him he would have
gone somewhere else TO start his saloon,
but since he had invested his money and
has building so nearly completed. he will
fight IL out. There was some talk of buying
him out and an effort may be made to get
q purchaser for the property. providing IL
will be relinQuished at reasonable price.
Otherwise, and the saloon starts. IL will
be kept under close surveillance and at
every opportunity suit will be brought
against the saloon keeper for violating the
law. In this manner and by withdrawing
trade from any business man who. in any
way. patronfzes the place. they expect 70
drive him out Of business.

So Irene turned to leave the room,
carrying her great burden Of love and
sorrow with her. In her reply to the
emperor she had begged permission to
return at once to Tugendstein, and left
on the same day.
Otto, who had waited in terrible I'M

expression as she dismounted from
the carriage, that the remorse which
had glided into his life with reptilian
quiet was all too true; that he must
consent to see her sacrificed to a nan

life the love which had glorifed both
herself and him. Man and soldier

And so Irene moved like an automa-

led to her illustrious marriage, feeling
as if life was merely a dance set be-

One of the saddest phases of all was
the fact that she was obliged to change

method of fighting is entirely different

the only idea is to knock your man out
as quickly as possible. If a kick on the

proper. Their system is the most VI

extended first and second fingers into
his opponents eyes, thus binding him,
while with the other hand he chokes
his victim by crushing his windp1pe be-
tween the knuckles. The first and
second fingers of the right hand are al
most invariably used for the binding
process, and the w~indpipe is usually
caught between the knuckles OF the
left hand, or the fingers, extended, are
pushed deep into his neck in an effort
to strangle the victim.

Censorship in Siberia.

Hereafter officials who wish to edit
books, write for newspapers and in
dulge their literary taste in Siberia,
must first secure permission from the
ministry of the interior, after having
clearly indicated the precise nature,
and scope of their proposed literary
flights. This rule is not intended to
check genuine literary talent, but to
curb crude criticism and structures
launched on pseudo-literary craft.
Censorship, SO rigorous elsewhere, is
scarcely noticed in Siberia, so light is
it's hand. Still it exists, and may at
any time be enforced more strictly
when necessary.
