MAY ISSUE ANOTHER LICENSE.
Prosecuting Attorneys Opinion
in Kirkwood Dramshop Case.

Prosecuting Attorney p. l.. Johnston OF
st. Louis County yesterday decided that
the conviction of William Soehngen under
q Kirkwood ordinance of a violation of
the dramshop law would not operate to
prohibit the County Court from issuing
another saloon license to him.
Since his place was closed in Kirkwood
Soehngen has tried to open a saloon IN
brentwood. but members of the Webster
Groves Congregational Church opposed
the issuance OF the license. One OF their
reasons was that under the statute Soelin-
gen WAS barred from getting license be-
cause of his conviction
The matter was referred to Johnston for
an opinion. He called the courts atteu-
ton TO section 30l1 of the Revised
Statutes, providing for a bar of two
years from the license Of anyone who was
convicted of violating the dramshop law
and to section 3oI3. stating that where
there was a conflict in the statutes IL was
always decided in favor of the defendant
In the case in point, he said, Soehngen
was convicted under a city ordinance.
which. In a strict legal sense. did not have
the same effect as conviction under q
State law.

troops. who would. not being 50 well sup
piled as those at Port Arthur, find II
difficult TO subslst until relief arrived.
This is one OF the reasons that dictated
the withdrawal OF the Russians from
Niuchwang. official details OF which have
not yet been made public
The experts say that the debarkacon OF
japanese at Niu-Chwang at this time
would be nothing more nor less than a
strategical blunder advantageous TO the
Russians. as they are still holding tho
railroad and could rush a force there, fall
on the japanese and retire before q coli
umn sent by General kuroh could get
between them and Liso-Yang. The opin-
ion therefore prevails that the japanese
will not occupy Niu-Chwang until Kuroki's
columns arrive at Haicheng or its inmedi-
ate vicinity.
The general staff confirms the announce
ments of the abandonment OF Kin-Chou by
the Russians after the dismantling of the
forts and the removal OF the guns to Port
Arthur.

REPTrRLIC SPECIAL


New York. May l8-The poolroom busi-
ness OF New York and the country gen
orally was treated to a paraiyzing shock
to-day when the Western Union Telegraph
Company ceased the operation Of its sys-
tenn OF collecting and distributing racing
news. This cut on the special service
from every race track in the United States
and threw the poolrooms on their own re-
sources. with the result that the business
of taking and making bets on horse races
outside the track was seriously crippled
The shutdown was the result Of attacks
on the poolrooms by District Attorney
Jerome and the New York papers.
A number OF local rooms were COM
PEELED to close down altogether, and those
who did business were delayed. Some
gamblers adopted the system of taking
bets and promising to pay OF tomorrow
on the morning newspaper odds.

nrmed.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLEASED.
When told OF the action of the West

ney Jerome made a long statement. OF
which the following is the gist:
II am personally satisfied that. so far
as the directors OF the Western Union are
concerned. this action is fair and honor
able. and intended to accomplish what the
authorities of this city could not accom-
plish otherwise.
RACE TICKERS ARE SILENT.
The ticker company that sends out the
results was cut Off yesterday by the West

on the tapes. but the service was re-
newed to-day. The ticket people had their
