SALOONS WORSE
THAN BASEBALL
so MAYOR DECLARES REGARDING
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
He Believes Outdoor Sports Are Clean
and Proper Even on Sunday IF Those
Engaging in Them Have No Other
Time-North Side Delegation Makes
a Protest.

ct would rather close the saloons on
Sunday than stop the ball games, ;" said
Mayor David P. Jones today to a dele
cation of Northsiders who asked him
to stop the Sunday baseball games on
the vacant block at Ehird street and
Twenty first avenue N.
m Pei son don't believe il spend
or continued, but believe in health
full outdoor athletics and if Sunday is
the only time which the boys and young
men have for recreation, they should
be encouraged provided no disturbance
is created They might be tdeRg Pss
been called to the ball games in your
part Of the city and have investigated
them quite carefully. Captain Smith Of
the north precinct says that the. games
are much less Objectionable than former
ly. 1 have talked with the players per-
sonally and find them decent lot of
boys. l don't want to interfere with
their recreation if it can possibly be
prevented. If there is any connection
with the saloons and the games 1 would
rather close the saloons it the people
insist on it. Ism It there some way that
this matter can be adjusted to the salts
manded T. A. Rydeli. sThe laws are
plain enough. Enforce them and close
the saloons as well as stop the ball
games. In our part of town, condl-
tions are no better than before.''
| A Pointed Query.
"You are the first man have found
who wants all the laws enforced to
the letter. replied the mayor. "I can
close all the saloons, but would the sit
uation be improved anyq That is the
only question. Is it not better to have
the liquor traffic concentrated and di-
rectly under the eyes Of the police, than
in all parts Of the city,, 7 have tried
to keep the saloons within reasonable
bounds, and have been assured on al
sides that there is great improve
ment. -
It was suggested that the ball grounds
be enclosed with a high board fence anC
that an admission fee be charged, sc
as to keep out the tough element. An
other suggestion was that additional pc
licemen be detailed to that part of the
city to keep order. It was further sug
gested that the saloons in the immedi
ate vicinity be closed for some time af
ter the ball game, until the crowd wa
dispersed, SO that it would not gather il
the saloons near by.
Mayor Jones received the various sug
gestions most cheerfully and promised
to have the matter looked into yer,
carefully. He will have additional pc
lie emen on hand next Sunday, and if tn
complaints continue, will close the sa
looms. Only as a last resort will there b.
any interference with the ball games.

WOMEN DOUSE
A WIFE.BEATER
NEARL DROWN A PRISONER IN
THE EXCELSIOR JAIL.
Mrs. Ed Creleman's Injuries Arouse
Sympathy of Women of the Village
Who, Unable to Throw the Prisoner
into the Lake, souse Him Well in His
Cell.

Excelsior, usually quiet, peaceable
and orderly, last night had an uprising
of righteously indignant women. Dis
turbances Of the kind are about as
much in place in Excelsior as the sport
ing editor Of a yellow journal at a
church festival, and as a result OF the
ruction the town is all torn up. The
.reeula. residents of the town blame
the summer residents and the Takers
saw the townspeople are to blame.
However, Marshal John Powers put an
end to the affair and now it's the talk
of the town.
Ed Creleman, pilot on one OF the
boats running out of Excelsior, was
the cause Of the trouble. tie was ar az,
rested Yesterday afternoon charged
with assaulting his wife and was locked
in the village cooler, a small one-story
affair, there to repent at leisure on his
unmanly conduct.
Later in the afternoon Mrs. Creleman
appeared on the street with both eyes
blackened and other evidences .of the
treatment she had received. Her con-
dition excited the keenest sympathy
among the women, who planned ven
geance.
. After the evenings duties had been
attended to, and after the children ano
husbands had been safely put; to ped
dresses were seen silently moving. from
various houses in the town, and as
sembling near the lookup. 1t was after
midnight, aud midnight in Excelsior Is
lO,O0O,000 degrees removed from =,
boiler shop-it has the stiffness OF the
grave wiped off the boards.
The thirty or forty women VINO as
sembled whispered their plans to ONT
another. AS The skim shell Of the we
moon hid behind cloud call for thu
advance was given. Down the stree
the determined and indignant wome1
of Excelsior went determined to taxi
the culprit Creleman from the warm co
| and duck him in the lake. |
The Jail was too strong. Efforts t.
batter down the door or pick the loci
were unavailing. The prisoner fndin!

Pailful after pailful Of water wa
thrown thru the jail windows and
all went splashing over the prisoner
who was drenched. He began to cal
for help. People reused from thei
sleep saw the crowd about the jail an
set up cry Of jail delivery. Thi

but the women had gathered thei
skirts about them and fed. The pris
oner dried out today and this evenin
will be arraigned in court.

Scenes on the Flats.

Fearful of their old friend, the river,
the residents of the flats under the
Washington avenue bridge are torn be-
tween a strong desire to leave and a
stronger desire to stay. For the first
time since the present rise began, and
for the first time in several years the
fatters, especially those on the lower
streets, are really worried. While ap-
parent1y Indifferent to their danger,
they are anxious. They stand about in
groups on high spots and in their native
tongues discuss the situation. To out
siders, tho, they will say nothing.
Little domestic tragedies are en-
acted almost every hour. There are
known. Lives are saved every day at
the risk of others. Property is pro-
tected at the same risk. A rushing,
foaming torrent pours down the upper
end Of narrow Cooper street today,
washing out banking and fences, and
flooding houses and outbuildings. The
lower end Of Wood street, which faces
the river directly under the bridge, is
seething. The water is two feet deep
in some Of the houses on the lower end
of the street and families have been
compelled to move out. In places mer
and women are working hip-deep In
property. Rocks are at a premium and
there is constant stream Of wheel
barrows filed with rocks and stones
from the bluff back Of the settlement
The breaking Of single dam in tn,
upper river probably would carry ava,
over half Of the homes and outbuildings
The householders know this and wal
and watch.
! In the homes on Wood street, wher
the water is deepest, the furniture AM
other belongings are stored away o,
platforms and in the little attics. TIL
houses are weighted down with stone
and the families are parceled on
among the neighbors. The churchyart
is full Of water and every cellar on tn
upper flats is full.
