HANGING SIGNS
TO BE LICENSED
Those Who Maintain Them
Must Pay a Fee and
File a Bond.

The one thousand or more projecting
signs in the business section of the
city are to be licensed. Those who
make a business of supplying and
erecting them will also have to be
registered. A fee will be required from
each and bond imposed.
This is the way the legal department
proposes to correct the sign nuisance,
and it is now preparing the licensing
measure for presentation at the next
meeting of the council. 1t has the
sanction of the engineering depart
ment, which is now trying to compel
the removal of a number of signs
which it has decided are dangerous.
When the new order of things be-
comes operative, every person desiring
to erect or maintain a projecting sign
will have to- apply to the engineering
department for a license. On the pay
ment of a small fee and the filing of
the bond which will be in keeping with
the size. and weight of the sign, a per-
init will be granted. This license will
have to be taken out yearly and
before its issuance each time the safe
ty of the sign must be guaranteed. In
order to keep track of these signs those
who make a business of supplying
and erecting them will have to have
license and this will require a small
fee also. -
During the past week Building In
spector Elerbee has ordered down about
200 signs and followed it yesterday by
the swearing out of several warrants
against parties, who had refused to
obey the order.
The new law, it is thought, will solve
the difficulty attending these signs. In
order to remove it from the operations
of special legislation it will be made
a part of the new building CODE

The outcome however, had not been

at the close of the case he renewed

DISCHARGE OF SCOTT WALKER,
ACCUSED OF sASSAULTING MRS.
LINCOLN, DtSPLEASES HIM
SAYS WIFE HAS a RIGHT TO
FoLkoW HUSBAND TO SALOON
Walker and His Witnesses Denied That
He Struck Mrs. Lincoln, but Say
She Assaulted Hin-City Prosecutor
Will Continue to Issue Warrants on
Similar Complaints.

City Prosecutor Herbert Keller was
not at all pleased at the outcome of the
case against Scott Walker, the Mime
sofa street saloonkeeper, who was dis
charged by Police Judge Hine yester-
day afternoon after a hearing on q
charge of assault and battery, pre-
ferred by Mrs. Ida Lincoln, a colored
woman, who claims to have been as
saulted by Walker when she went to
his saloon after husband.
Il think a woman has perfect right
to go into any saloon after her huS-
band" said the city prosecutor, "and
will continue to issue warrants on SIM
liar complaints. Walker had no right
to employ fOrcible means to eject her
from the saloon when she was there to
look for her husband"
Mrs. Lincoln had sworn out a COM
plant charging Walker with assault
and battery. On the witness stand
yesterday she told her story in a
straightforward manner and refused to
contradict herself under a severe cross
examination. She said her husband,
Robert Lincoln, Pullman porter, had
drawn his wages and she had reason to
believe he was gambling them away in
Walkers place.
Says She Was Knocked Down.
When she entered the saloon and
inquired for her husband, she says
Walker told her she could not see him,
and when she started to go into the
rear rom, where she had heard her
husband disputfng with other men as
to whether his point was six or eight,
she had been knocked down by Walk
er and her purse was taken from her.
Walker denied having struck the
woman, but says he did stop her from
going into the rear room, whereupon
the woman struck him blow in the
eye, and in corroboration Of his state
!, ment Walker exhibited a badly discol-
ored eye to the court. He said he had
taken hold of her for the purpose of
ejecting her, but that in the scuff1e both
he and the woman fell down.
Several other witnesses testified that
Walker did not strike Mrs. Lincoln,
but that he did forcibly eject her from
the saloon. Other witnesses testified
to the good character borne by the de-
fendant, and at the close of the case,
which was submitted without argu-
ment, the defendant was discharged.
