SALOON LAWS.
What an Attorney Says Could
Be Done in Richmond If
it is Really Desired.

| An attorney who is next to much
| of the business made for the police
by the violation of the liquor law
claims that the r. medy lies in the city
laws, which could be amended so as
TO control the business sood deal
| more than is possible under the city
laws as they are. It is practically
impossible to close the saloons on
Sunday as they are at present ar
ranged. The saloon man puts his
bar tender in charge, the liquors are
taken into another room and
there sold and drank. The viola
tion is then not for violating
the license granted, but against the
bartender for selling without license.
The arrangement of the saloon proper
is controlled by law and must be in
such shape that the police can see
in; but the side room they can ar
range to suit themselves, so that the
police can pot see anything without
getting inside. They are perforated
with doors and windows until the
police can rarely catch anyone; the
inmates scatter like rats under a
walk and it is next to impossible to
catch witnesses
Ihe attorney says the city has
power to make law defining the
very room where the liquor shall be
said that the city can exclude saloons
from all resident portions and confine
them to business portions; and direct
the arrangement of the room, the
and number of doors
and windows and all openings into
the room of any character; can direct
the location, arrangement and con-
struction of the bar; aud direct the
interior arrangement and construc-
tion of the room; and forbid wine
rooms entirely
City laws have been passed which
forbid wine rooms but they do not
define what wine room is; the sew
enth ward has been declared a resi-
dence portion and saloons have been
shut out of that ward; but that is |
about the extent of it.
The attorneys say that If the city |
wishes to stop good deal of the vi
olations the laws should regulate the
rooms to be occupied and that there
should be but one door allowed into
it; and that door should be the front !
door opening on to the front street;
and the bar should be located that it |
can be seen at all times. AS it is
now the saloon may have thirty doors
II places can be found for them, and /
N case of raids seem to have three |

THE BOARD
OF Public Improvements
Yesterday.

William Wagner was granted an
extension of time for cement alley
south of Main street from the east
side of south eighth street to alley
running north-ss nth until the 10Th
day Of July, 1901.
The board rejected all bids re-
ceived for sanitary sewer in alley be-
tween south fifth and sixth streets
from ID to Garden avenue sewer, and
for cement walk east of kinsey street
to west end of Main street bridge,
the bid on sewer being above the en-
gineer's estimate. Bid on cement
walk was rejected on account of not
having the proper suretlss, and will
recommend to council that this mat
ter be deferred for four weeks.
The matter of paving north seventh
street with vitrified brick from Main
to north c street was indefinitely
postponed.
The matter of paving Fort Wayne
avenue was laid over for two weeks.
The board instructed the city civil

An Interesting Case..-Sev.

Room Case.

ant junction this morning. The cases
were many and of good variety, al
though all whiskey cases.
Pat Bates, Terry Brady, Thomas
O Brien, Tom O'Connor, Tim Flynn
and Sam Cooke were all up for drunk
and were fined dollar and costs
each. Many of them were men work
ing on the c. r. & NJ. construction
gangs, who are proving rich pluck
ing for the saloon keepers.
Mayor Zimmerman presided in due
state, having returned from his trip
to Birmingham.
Night before last man from the
country who sometimes drinks lit
tie, but rarely to excess, was in town
and took drink at a saloon.
l He drank with a man who is
a sort of rounder, but who has
| never been known to do anything
actually crooked; for these reasons
| we 90 not use names. The country
man paid for the drinks, and the
/ two went down the street together.
Soon after leaving the saloon-Ben
! Moorman s-the country man missed
his roll of money, containing about
$127. He was then perfectly sober.
| he thought the other man had taken
Il but did not dare say so; SO he kept
with the man, buying more drinks,
hoping the other would return the
money and had taken it as a prac-
tical joke. The result was that he
got drunk and the police took them
both in. At police court he was in
good deal of a dream, but still
sober enough to insist that the
police search his companion
thoroughly, but without telling
, why he wished il done. Next morn
: ing he was fined for drunk, but af
t terward made his loss known. Th'
t man he was with did not hav,
any money and SO no charge wa:
: made against him for taking th'
: money; and he will be surprised M
: doubt TO learn that he was suspected
!. by the other; probably never knew
that the other man had so much mon
ey In the afternoon the bartender
at Moorman 5, Billy Meyer, brough
/. the roll to police court and turned j
A over to the police. He had picked i
: up on the floor of the saloon and CAV
d it to the police to find the owner.
n In Squire Jones court yesterday
G case was tried in which a woman wa
n the complaining witness The polio

e charged with selling liquor without
license. As the woman could nc

the case was dismissed.

P|L|K|A NU|
Case Against the
Lieutenant
Closed.
ARGUMENT OF
THE DEFENCE
Accused Had Been Drinking But
Not Enough to Unfit Him
for Command.

The military commission appointed to
try Lieut.. Howell convened again yes
terday to listen to the presentation of
argument for and against the accused.
In his argument, which was brief, the
Judge advocate summed up the facts
which testified against the accused. He
stated that it was for the commission to
HowelPs intoxication, but that there
could be little doubt as to his having
been in. such a condition as rendered
him unfit to be in command of a bat
terry.
The presentation of the argument by
Lieut.. Haussermann, counsel for the ac-
cused, was given at length, and occupied
considerable time. He dwelt largely on
the circumstances which tended to show
that while the accused had been drink
ing. yet he was not so intoxicated as to
be unfit to order and command the bat
terry. To substantiate this fact. the
counsel cited the testimony of several Of
the witnesses, especially of that of the
soldiers, VINO said that the orders given
by the lieutenant while he was exerciS-
ing the battery were quite proper, and
only such as might be expected during
| battery drill.
AS to the nature of the ground, though
| the testimony as to it's fitness for bat
terry drill appeared conflicting, yet coun-
| sci thought that while somewhat rough
and uneven, yet it was not so rugged as
to argue that the accused was not In
his right mind when he ordered drill
over it. The dykes in the rice-paddy were
| of no great height, and they had been
| overcome without serious damage to the
pieces of artillery. 1t was a common
! thing for a spoke or two to become
loose or broken during a drill exercise
Then nobody had suffered so that he was
unable to perform his duties; there
might be a br,,t=t here and there, but
| these were only soldiers knocks anG
| were a common result of battery drill
AS regarding all the damages done tt
the battery and the men, counsel argued
that they were trifiing, and it was ns
uncommon thing for whole company
| or even battalion to be so used up a:
a result of drilling as to be temporaril!
incapacitated for duty. Then 1t wa!
sometimes necessary in moments o
peace to practice such severe drills il
order to accustom the men to them, ant
have them prepared for the time of tria
and emergency during the exigencies o
war.
The statements of some of the wit
nesses were criticized by the defense. an,
it was argued that they were scarcel.
likely to be altogether impartial, as, OF
| their own confession, some of the mel
had had charges preferred against then
by the accused officer as result of de
linquencies. On this account, counse
contended that their statements ought t
be weighed carefully, and not be al
lowed unduly to influence the decision.
After the presentation of the argu
ments the case was closed, the cour
making its final public adjournment a
eleven o'clock.-Manila Times.
