SOME SALOONKEEPERS
MAY GET INTO TROUBLE
Licenses Transferred Without Permis-
sion of Council Are Illegal.

Distributed around st. Paul are 341
saloonkeepers, who, unless they can
show authority of the council for OPP
Grating under some other mans license,
are violating the law to an extent that
may get them into trouble.
Several weeks ago Assemblyman Ar
mold requested from the legal depart
ment an opinion as to the validity Of
certain liquor licenses issued but which
were being used by; parties other than
those to whom they were granted.
Corporation Attorney Markham last
evening reported telthe assembly that
transfers from one party to another,
or from one location to another, were
perfectly legal, but that they must pe
sanctioned by the council.
When the state law alone was in
questions transfers were not recog-
nized, Attorney General Chi1ds giving
an opinion to that effect in 1898, but the
city charter has since overcome that.
The charter recognizes it, and Mr..
Markham says there is nothing in the
state law that specifically denies it.
The city council has, in the past, au-
thorized some transfers, but how many
it is not known, and the license COM
mittee has been requested to look up
the matter. in order that those saloon
keepers who have not secured permis-
sion to transfer, may do so.

He Heard First Shot at Lookout Noun.


Mr. Weeks, of Michigan, heard the
first shot fired inTthe battle of Lookout

battery of artillery on the Moccasin

below. Il rememberias well as if it
were today says Mr.. Weeks, chow the

scared, but the Confederates could not
hit US. Their guns could not be de-
pressed sufficiently Il
For a long time we had been sta
toned there on the bend of the river
to watch the enemy 5On those heights.
If one horSeman passed Lookout Point
we were not to trouble him, but if a
group of hOrsemen rode past that point
we were to give them a shot, and our
craftsmanship was perfect. One day
we saw horsemeh advancing. They did
not ride in a group. One rode past the
point where our guns were aimed; then
a moment afterWard another and an
other, and so on. 1t puzzled us. We
were inclined to shoot, but didn't.

FIRE SCORCHES AN
ELECTRICAL PLANT
That of St. Paul Gas LIGHT COMPANY
Damaged to Extent of $1,000.

mfr
brisk and persistent fire occurred
in the Fourth street electrical plant of
the st. Paul Gas Light company late
yesterday afternoon, causing a loss es-
timated at $1,000. jhIo
The fire originatedin.t the boiler room,
near the smokestackJ The roof of the
boiler room is a Wooden platform,
Hush with the street, and covering the
space between the Court block and the
building adjacent on the west. The
space between the boilers and the roof
is small, and the task of the firemen
was rendered difficult by want of room.
About $50 last night Lew Morrison,
a fireman, saw the flame start in the
woodwork about the smoke stack. He
gave the alarm, and the force started
to fight the flames, with chemicals.
Finding themselves unable to cope with
the blaze, they telephoned for the fire
department. The delay gave the fire
Roadway and by the time the fire APP
paratuS arrived the furnace room had
been converted into a furnace by the
flames.
The department had stubborn fight
before the fire was extinguished. The
dense smoke in the confined room and
the narrow spaces in which the streams
had to play kept the department guess
ing. After about two hours work the
fire was put out. The soft coal in the
fire room, which took fire, was deluged
with water to prevent another out
break.
The roof of the boiler room was a
complete wreck. The, boilers; it was
thought last night, were not injured.
Considerable damage was done to the
dynamo belts by water, and fuses and
wires were affected. A force of men
was put at work repairing the damage
as far as possible last night.

HERMANN SENDS ANSWER
TO BAN JOHNSON
Hints That National Committees Action
Will Not Be Final.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 2.-It is now
probable that the peace conference of the

taken toward settlement of the baseball
war.
Mr.. Hermann, when seen today, said: 81

letter to him replying to his communica-
ton. l expect that he will make known
the contents of my letter to him tomor-
row. do not propose to make public the
contents Of the communication / adj
dressed to him previous to the receipt
The National league committee has
full power to act as much as any other
committee, but a committees action must
always be ratified by the entire body it
represents before it is legal. If, in this
instance We should do something that was
not ratified by the National league the
league would stand divided against us. II
IS now up to Mr.. Johnson whether there
shall be peace conference or not"
AS the matter now stands the Ameri-
can league refuses to go into the con-
ference unless Johnson feels assured that
the National league committee has full
power to act. and if that assurance is not
given the war will continue.

CONFERENCE MAY
BE POSTPONED
Hitch in the Plans for End
ing War of the Big
Leagues.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. President Ban
Johnson tonight wired Garry Herr
mann, of Cincinnati, that he could not
decide on any details in regard to the
proposed baseball peace conference until
he was assured that the National league
committee had full power to act. AS
soon as President Johnson learned the Ma
tional league committee was given power
of inquiry only he sent word to Chair
man Hermann to the effect that the
American league committee could not
consent tt a meeting unless the National
league representatives had full power to
act for its league.
Hermann it is understood, has been
trying to get this authority for his COM
mittee by means of mail or telegraph
vote, but as ne was to wire Johnson as
soon as he attained his object it seems
that he SO far has been unsuccessful.
President Johnson apparently had album
dant confidence in Hermann, but it is
doubtful il he has the same feeling for
some Of the other members of the Ma
tional league, and it is not at all strange
magnates except on plane of absolute
equality as TO power.
Date May Be Changed.
1t is possible now that the date of the
meeting may be postponed after all. If
the members of the American league COM
mittee can arrange their plans for later
date and the pOStponement is still desired
by the National league President john
son says that he will be willing to make
the change.
With the two or three days extension
already asked for by the National league
it is entirely possible that Hermann may
be able to get the fourth member of the
committee named and also to get author
ity for his committee.
In the interests of peace it is certainly
to be hoped that the National league can
speedily complete its committee and place
it on a par with that of the American
league. so that by Jan. or the arbitra-
tors may get together FOR actual work in
the interest of peace in baseball.
There is little doubt that Hermann is
anxious for peace along straightforward
business lines. but the slowness which
eb 1dicsa ii hat 6iI efoT ~ are bens
hampeTed in some quarters. In other
words, it seems that the National league
is ''jockeying for position" already, rather
than using its best efforts to get an even
start with the American league committee
in the peace cOnfab.
