REFORM AGAINST POOL TABLES.
Police Notify ROOmkeeDcrs Tint
Minors Must he Excluded

Having seized one lone slot machine on
the ground that II was being used by
Saioonkeeper Mergen as a gambling device
and not as a legitimate trade increaser, the
police have now turned their attention to
the saloons where pool tables are run as Il
side issue. The edict has gone forth that
henceforth minors are not to be permitted
to play billiards or pool in saloons. The
proprietors OF two downtown saloons where
youths have been wont to cougregate at
night and play were first notified OF tho
new order and they naturally protested
unless 1t was to apply to every saloon In
the city. They were informed that the
order was general and that any saloon man
who permitted young men under the legal
age to play pool or billiards in his place
would be promptly arrested. Under the
city ordinance governing the matter. a
fine OF from $40 to 500 can be imposed
for violation OF its provisions. In addition
to the fine the judge Of the superior court
may revoke the license.
The order issued by Chief Albro applies
not only to pool rooms run in connection

High school Drill Hall,

+. e. Cox of the firm which drew plans
for the new High school building says II
was well understood by the Board of Ed
ucation when the plans were drawn that
the ceiling of the drill hall was only ten
feet high The hall was designed solely for
drill purposes and there was no suggestion
made then of using 1t for a gymnasium.
The height of the basement story, in which
the hall is located, was placed at ten feet
for the express purpose of keeping the
cost of the building within, as far as pos
siblo, the sum appropriated
In regard to remedying the defect Mr..
Cox said he was opposed to the plan sug-
gested Of reducing the height Of the audi
torium in order TO raise that OF the drill
hall. Such a plan, he said, would necessi-
tate placing four or five steps into the
auditorium from the main hallway. The
steps would either have to project into
the auditorium or else into the hall. The
room could not be spared in the hall for the
steps and II they projected into the audi
torium they would lessen the seating ca
pacity, which was no greater than needed.
He said he was in favor of raising the
walls of the entire building the extra three
or four feet, as this would not only improve
the general appearance OF the structure,
but would leave the auditorium as orig

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 20.-(Special Tele-
gram To-day Judge Y. a. Church of Den

Eugene Lutz against the Sioux City Brew
ing company, in which Lutz asks an in
junction to restrain the big Sioux City
brewery from making beer. The brewery
management had Lutz, who is lawyer
arrested on the charge of blackmail and
Lutz retaliated by bringing the injunc-
tion proceedings, claiming the brewery has
been violating the law for some time. Be
cause OF the feeling in the case neither
of the Sioux City judges cared to hear the
case and Judge Church consented to pre-
side. Some time ago Judge Gaynor refused
to grant temporary injunction. The
hearing. which closed today, was on the
question of a permanent Injunction.
