has taken this means of doing them
injury because they declined to turn

DRUMM CONVICTED.
Another Prosecution Under the Fe-
male Exclusion Act

llol1S --@AC4OSIC11 0CI-
The new ordinance prohibiting fe-
males from saloons between the hours
of Z p. m. and a. m. was again at
tackled in police court yesterday. This
time the attack was made on the
grounds that there was uncertainty as
to what section the ordinance was an
amendment to. The preamble and the
certification of the amendment say the
amendment is to section % of chapter
% while the body of the ordinance
refers to section Is of chapter % this
latter being the section referring to
the presence OF females in saloons,
while the former section refers to bot
Ting of spurious liquors The attack
on the ordinance was made by AttOr
ney James Hamilton in the case of c. L.
Drumm. in whose place a woman was
found on last Thursday night. The at
torney maintained that an amendment
was not valid until it was certified and
published by the city recorder and held
that as 1t had been certified and pub
lished as an amendment to section %,
il was not an amendment to section 26,
and therefore the defendant could not
be prosecuted under it.
Prosecutor Diehl held that il was a
mistake due to oversight and that as
the intent of the amendment was evil
dent it was legal. The court sustained
his position. The case then proceeded
TO trial.
The defense attempted to show by
Drumm that he did not know of the
presence of the woman in the SaIoon,
but that she mad come dnto the place
before he came on duty. The woman,
Mrs. Woods, said that she had gone to
the place to get a pair of gloves that
she had left there She admitted that
she had gone into a room where there
was q man and had taken off her hat
and laid her jacket on the table.
The judge said that under the testi-
mony he was convinced that the pro-
prietor knew of the presence of the wo-
man in his place and was guilty of a
violation of the ordinance. He ordered
him to pay a fine of $25. The defense
promptly gave notice of an appeal
