COMMITTEE FOR
CLARK ORDINANCE
COUNCIL ASKED TO PASS NEW
LIQUOR LICENSE ACT.
It Is Amended in Two Minor Particl-
lars and in that Form Will Go to the
Council Tonight Ministers and Rep
resentatives of Liquor Men Debate
Subject.

Alderman E. W. Clark's proposed or
dlnance providing for forfeiture of
liquor license in case of violations of
the law was unanimously recommended
this morning at a joint meeting of the
committees on licenses and ordinances.
The wording was changed so as to
make the conditions of forfeiture more
nearly uniform. As it came before
the committee it provided that when
"A license is revoked by the court the
whole amount OF the uneXpired license
should be forfeited, but when revoked
by the mayor or council one-half would
be refunded. 1t now provides that
one-half shall be refunded in any case.
another change was made to the eff
feet that when saloon-keeper desires
to give up his license and there has
been no prosecution pending within
thirty days preceding the whole amount
amount shall be refunded. 1t was only
after these changes were made that the
committee would recommend the Ordi-
nance. -
The meeting was attended by repre-.
sentatives of all classes but those who
favored the ordinance were so much in
the majority that its friends feel
confident that it will be passed by the
council tonight.
SvooAU 0OAACAG S9dAOOno'
Mayor Jones spoke in favor Of the
measure. He said that the Clark ordi-
nance would be beneficial to the saloon
trade itself and to the brewers who
owned SO many licenses. With this law
in force the class of men in charge OF
the majority of drinking places would
be improved and more responsible per-
sons would be sought by owners of the
licenses. His statements left no doubt
as to his signing the ordinance if it is
passed.
Only two persons opposed the
measure, Titus Mareck Of the Mime
apolis Brewing company, and Harry
Mead, attorney. Mr.. Mareck thought
the ordinance unjust to all who might
violate the laws. Two men might i be
offenses and one who had just obtained
his license would lose $500 while the
other who had owned the license for
nearly year would lose but dollar.
Rev. W. B. Riley of the First Baptist
church said that the saloonkeeper him
self determined when he was to forfeit
his license. He could break the laws
the day after he obtained his license,
or he could wait until the close of the
year. ., =,
Mr.. Riley also took issue with Mr..
Mareck when he said that the saloons
were not to be entirely blamed for the
waywardness Of children and that par
ents should keep them at home, and de-
clared that unless some strict ordinance
was passed moral revolution would fol-
low.
Penalty Low Enough.
Mr.. Mead said that the penalty was
too severe, and that it would not be gen
orally enforced. This was denied by
Rev. Stanley B. Roberts, representing
the Presbyterian churches. who held
that $500 was small fine for fragrant
violation Of the liquor laws.
Rev. r. b. Herrick, Rev. Henry
Holmes of the Lowry Hill church, Max
we'll Robb, G. W. Purple .of the Home
Alderman Merrill also sppke insfavor OF
the ordinance. r u III -.

TO GUARD AUTO HOUSES
Fire Chief Wants Stricter Ordinance
Governing Handling of ,Gasolene.

Believing that managers Of many au-
tomQbile shops are careless in handling
gasolene, Fire Chief Canterbury has
asked the council that an ordinance be
passed regulating these institutions and
power to arrest for violation.
Chief Canterbury says that such an
ordinance might save the city large
amount of money if passed in time.
Fire Marshal Charles Ringer has pre-:
pared a report on the condition of
garages. He suggests that in drawing
up the ordinance, the underwriters be
consulted.
The present ordinance regulates the
storing of gasolene, but not the hand
