Des Moines Saloonist, Operat-
ing Places Here, Object of
Council Attack
WEBSTER SPEAKS PLAINLY
Says That When the Council Has a
Good Excuse 1t Should "Nip" Parker's
Sa!oons-WilfuI Violation of Law Is
chareed-Final Action Postponed
For Two Weeks.

Councilman Webster, of the Fourth
ward. went after Ben Parker with a
sharp stick at the regular meeting Of
| the council Monday night. Mr.. Web
ster said some very uncomplimentary
things about Mr.. Parker, and referred
to his record both as man and as a
saloonist. In fact Mr.. Webster did not
| mince his words, and spoke plainly.
giving his reasons why he considered
the Parker saloon in the Wild building,
near the corner of Nevada and Third
the permit.
Mr.. Webster introduced resolution
calling for the revoking of the permit
to do business. and Mr.. Iseman amend
ed it by including the North First ave-
nue. saloon which he said was not run
ming with proper consent of adjoining
property owners. Mr.. Webster ex-
planned that such amendment would
have to be made separate resolution,
and it was withdrawn.
Mr.. Webster took occasion to speak
at length on his resolution. He said
that he had always been In favor, and
had advocated heretofore, reducing the
number OF saloons II possible. His idea
at first had been to rescind the permits
of ALL and then allow those to run who
were considered by the council to be
proper persons to conduct saloons, re-
stricting the number within reasonable
bounds. When the council had a good
hof
act. and as there had been wilful
violation Of the law. in keeping open
after hours, he thought the council
could grseiously revoke the permit.
Mr.. Z ter said that he had no
sympat or Mr.. Parker at all, and
that he would never vote to allow hin,
to open another saloon in Marshall
town. Parker now operates i've, ana
Mr.. Webster said that IL there ever was
a man who should be held within strict
compliance of the law 1t was Parker.
When we can get chance to nip one
of his saloons" Mr. Webster continued,
Eve should do It," Mr.. Webster made
many personal references to Mr.. Par
ker's character, and referred to re-
cent remark. purported to have been
made by him, that any city council
could be bought. Mr. Webster proposes
to show him that the city council of
Marshalltown does not come under this
class.
Mr.. Psenicka thought possibly Mr..
Webster's action was too hasty, ana
Mr.. Good objected to the resolution be-
cause it would injure Mr.. Widl, the
owner of the building. Mr.. Abbott
thought the matter should be handled
without gloves, but moved that action
be postponed until the next meeting, in
two weeks This was agreed upon, in
order that a more thorough investiga-
ton may be made.
The action OF Mr. Webster results
from the keeping open of the saloon,
week ago last Friday night, until 1905.
when 1t was closed by Officer Lage, and
the bartender, Charles Steffen, arrested
for a violation of the law.
