COMPROMISE
Anti Saloon League and Min
listers Turn Down Sioux City
Mayors Proposition.
Will Demand That Saloons Be
Closed at 10 O'clock
Every Night.
Mayor Wants to Grant Later
Hours and Close All

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City. May 6.-There promises
to be trouble between the new mayor
of this city and the ministerial union
and Anti Saloon League.
Some time ago Mayor Caldwell made
a proposition to the Anti-Saloon
League that if the league would agree
not to prosecute the s~aloonkeepers he
would allow the saloons to remain opel:
until II o'clock five nights in the week
and until II o'clock on Saturday night.
The mayor agreed that he would see
that the law was rigidly enforced in the
matter of Sunday closing.
To use the language of one of the
ministers the proposition was 'receivea
with righteous Indignation" The plan
| was discussed at length and the meet
ing decided never to enter into n
agreement to allow the saloons to re-
main open after the time set by the
laws Of the state for their closing.
The mayors proposition anne up for
NAApSa .Sioi - ~ ASSSAiS ~ -
Anti-Saloon League n that body de-
cided to get an opinion from the minis
tiers of the city n to stand by their
decision. The executive board of the
league brought the matter before the
ministerial meeting yesterday morning.
Every one of the ministers present de-
nounced the proposition and voted in
favor Of the adoption of the following
motion introduced by Rev. f. E. Day:
"Be it move that the sense of this
meeting Of the Ministerial Association
is that the Anti-Saloon League enter
into no agreement to refrain from
prosecuting s~aloonkepeers for any in
fraction OF the laws of the state"
The action of the Ministerial Associ-
alton will be conveyed to the Anti-Sd-
loon League, and the latter body will
notify the mayor of its refusal to en-
ter into any agreement to allow the
saloons to keep open later than IL
O'Clock.
Others were equally as strong in
their denunoiation of the plan. The
mayors plan has proved a flat failure.
The Anti-Saloon League will notify
him that any attempt to allow the sa-
~loonkeepers to keep open after 10
o'clock will be followed by speedy pros
ecutiOnS.

The robbers must have walked
boldly up on the front porch of tho
house, and finding the door locked
placed a chisel under n of the large
side porch window frames. The pres
sure OF the chisel caused the window
catch to break and the piece of metal
from this flew up and cracked the up
per half of the window.
After crawling thru the window the
robbers at once found their way to an
room, where they proceeded to
ransack several drawers. They found
Mrs. Ricker's jewe!ry case and took
from 1t seven diamond and pearl rings
and several stick pins. A number of
solid silver spoons right at the hands
of the thieves were not molested.
