SALOON MEN FINED
Nine Liquor Sellers Prosecuted
for Sunday Opening

Nine saloonkeepers appeared before
Judge Holt yesterday and pleaded
guilty to keepingstheir places open on
Sunday. Judge Holt imposed the min
imun sentence, saying it was notorious
that all the. saloons of the city were
open on Sunday with the knowledge of
the police and administration, and
therefore he imposed the smallest pen
atty, but let it be understood that his
leniency in these cases was no indica-
tion what his future course would be.
The arrests Were made upon COM
plaint of the Home Protective league,
an organiza ton which proposes to
stamp out wine rooms in the city, and
the men We're prosecuted under the
Sunday closing ordinance because of
the ease with which convictions could
be secured.
The league proposes to keep up the
work and the Retail Liquor Dealers
association intends to do some fighting
on its own account.
The following We're the men fined
yesterday: Fred Mckay. Fred Malone,
Peter Hagen, Herman Rose, Herman
Frech, Frank c. Savoy, Tim Byrnes,
Pat O'Donnell and George Hartsock.

BRIDGE is HER ROOF
Mrs. Lena Peterson and Four
Children Found Destitute

For the last five nights Mrs. Lena
Peterson and her four children have
been making their home on the river
bank under the Franklin avenue
bridge, while Anton Peterson, the
husband and father, has been loafng
about saloons in a state of intoxica-
ton.
Peterson is an expert painter and
decorator.
Mrs. Peterson has been supporting
the family and living in a miserable
home on Cedar avenue. The rent
wasn't paid and then came the eject

has been making her home under the
bridge.

rant was issued for Petersons arrest
on the charge of non-support. He was
released on probation by Judge Holt;
with the understanding he would take
care of his family. Peterson is capa ::

States, or at least to protectOrate Oy
the American government The an
nexation idea was one of the cherished
dreams of President Grant. Indeed, it
even antedates Grant, for Secretary
Seward about the time of the Alaska
purchase elaborated plan looking to
American possession of Santo Domin-
go. 1t is probable that the idea did not
originate in the United States. how
ever, but in the island itself. for the
merchant classes there have always
favored an American protectorate.
1t was doubtless due to this intin-
ence that President Baez of the Do
minican Republic sent a formal propo-
sitiOn to President Grant looking to
the annexation of Santo Domingo to
the United States. 1t was in July,
1869. that Grant received the proposal,
and he lost no time in sending a spe-
cjol commissioner to the island TO look
into conditions and report. After some
further negotiations the treaty of an
nexation was prepared. the question
was submitted to the voters OF SantO
Domingo, who gave ii almost unani-
nous approval at special election
held for the purpose, and Grant sub
mitted the treaty to the United States
Senate for ratification. Charles Sum-
nor. chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, bitterly opposed the ratifi-
cation of the treaty. and succeeded in
securing sufficient support to defeat
the treaty. The annexation talk died
down and has not been renewed until
recent years. although the commercial
marty in the island still continued to
favor the plan.
Meanwhile affairs in the little repub-
lie were in troubled condition. There
were frequent uprisings. and presi-
dents came in rapid succession until in
1886 General Ulysses Heureux was
elected. and the constitution was so al
tered that he could succeed himself.
This he did with somewhat monoton-
Gus regularity, so contriving matters
that it was impossible to Gust him.
Heureux was young man when he
went into office and an ambitious one.
He became practical dictator of the
country, banishing or executing those
who opposed him. In this manner he
continued in power until 1899, when
he was assassinated.
Shortly after the violent close of
the Heureux regime came the revolu-

as being n pack of lies too gross for
tOleration." He declares that inspira-
ton is not allowed to certify to the
truth of any statement in the Bible
(which cannot be SubStantiated at the
bar of reason and evidence" In the
New Testament he finds little to offend
reason or conscience. but. whether
much or little it will have to go the
way of the Old Testament prodigies"
In an analysis of the present social
condition. Canon Henson attributes the
spread of anarchy, the ulcer that is
eating the vitals of society" to the
disappearance over large areas of civil
lied life of 1.-The religious basis of mo-
rality." Yet he finds an excuse for
these "nonmoral multitudes'' who
from the cradle to the grave have
faced the severe pressure of COMPETE
ton. the squalor and poverty and the
miserable eXigencies of unmerited
want" and who inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation of
unearned wealth. the profusion and
unchecked luxury ana the insolence of
unchastened power"
The canon says that when it is re-
membered that these "cruel. shocking
contrasts are no longer regarded with
the dull stare of fatalistic ignorance,
but in the full light of those doctrines
of equality which are the common
places of democratic politics." it is no
wonder that the minds of thousands
are predisposed toward the sophistries
of anarchy"
ut would be Idle to deny" he con-
cludes that the credit of the Scrip
lures is seriously shaken in the public
mind, nor can 1t rea sonably be doubted
that the tendencies of popular life as
at present prevailing are in the main
hostile to Christian tradition"
