POLICE MAY WAGE WAR
ON MALT TONIC SALES

: > 2.
HMalt tonic'' may come under the
ban Of the police in the near future.
At~present all malt preparations con-
tanning 2 per cent or less alcohol arc
treated as Notwithstanding beverages,
and may be sold j. at confectionery
stores, drug stores and. restaurants that
have no liquor licenses. When the po-
lice went after these preparations about
a year ago some of the malt tonics on
the market were found to contain as
much as 3 per cent Of alcohol, and
even more. .FE ~ & 2gsss' ~.
The dealers were warned that it they
continued to sell any ales or other prep
arations containing an excess Of alcohol
they would be prosecuted for selling
liquor without a license. The dealers
complained to the manufacturers, who
after some experimenting succeeded in
producing an article that came within
the prescribed limitations. Since that
time analyses have been made monthly
! and up to date. the various tonics have
been kept within the limit.
Nevertheless, there is more or less
fc on the ground that if imbibed in
sufficient. quantities it will intoxicate
boys and even some adult people.
| Assistant License Inspector A. w
! Strelow says that there is undoubtedly
more malt tonic sold ION Sunday since
| the Gid y went on, but personally he
| has received no complaints. He thinks
| that it is within the province of the
police department. to prohibit its sale
except in licensed places if the con
sumption becomes "a public evil. AL
places handling these preparations arc
required to have government license

WINEROOM BLIND
STRUCK BY MAYOR
SALooNKEEPERs ORDERED ITO
DANISH WOMEN PATRONS.
Restaurants in Rear Of Saloons, Which
Women Frequent, Object Of New Or
der-Revocation Of License Weapon
for Men Who Try Strategy to Evade
Ordinance.

Instructions have been issued by
Mayor David P. Jones to the license in
spector to inform the saloonkeepers
that the wineroom ordinance is not a
dead letter and must be scrupulously
enforced. It has been brought, to the
attention of the mayor that certain
saloonkeepers have become somewhat
lax in excluding women from their
places of business, and as a conse
quence several places are known to be
frequented by women, often in consid
cradle numbers. i
The so-called wineroom ordinance,
whose principal purpose is to exclude
women from saloons. is evaded by open
ing restaurants in the rear of saloons,
with convenient rear and side doors.
The restaurant feature is largely a
"blind,'' it is alleged, and is simply
a subterfuge to permit the entertain
ment OF women, who 60 there to meet
or make acquaintance. 81
Mayor Jones said 4 today the line
would be drawn between restaurants
| with bar attachments and saloons with
restaurant ; attachments. Where the
restaurant was the chief feature and
the room for women was detached from
| the barroom proper, there was no occa,
sion to interfere. On the other hand
where the place was primarily saloon
and the restaurant simply an adjunct
women would not be permitted to en-
| ter. ~@~ .:@
A saloonkeeper has as much right tt
would not be permitted to frequent
them. He thought that the distinction
was very clear, and instructed thu
license inspector to draw the line very
rigidly. One such place is already un
: der investigation, with the chances thai
the license will be revoked in a day
Or two. ~ @-.r

William Robb, proprietor of dance

court today for running a disorderly
house. - II .- -# r..

as Robb has made trouble for the po-

years ago when the police raided the
place and found several opium smoking

ASKS SUNDAY LID
FOR MILK TRAFFIC.
:DAIRYMAN's WIFE MAKES ODD
REQUEST OF MAYOR.
She Writes from Golden Valley, Asking.
\ If the Humble Milkman Is Not as
{ Good as the Bartender and Entitled
s to the Same Consideration and
Il Leisure.

Mayor D. P. Jones is now confronted
by far more serious reform question
than the one involving the saloon and
gambling lid.
: This time the hungry babies and
chronic dyspeptics are concerned and
will probably raise their voices against
the reform because the mayor has been
asked to put the lid on the Sunday milk
business. -4..t-> IT,, ... ST.. r..
The strangest part of the request is
that. it comes from the wife Of Col
profits from his Sunday trade, but who
is willing to relinquish his gains fol-
the sake of few hours of sweet sleep
In the rather long letter which was
received in the mayors office this
morning, and which is written in Ger
man, the woman tells of the troubles of
the dealer in harmless drinks. His
honor has fixed it so the bartender can
sleep till noon Sunday if he chooses,
and then after arising he can stroll
about the city with no thought of even.
ing chores and the milking grind. He
has something to live for and a chance
| to live right.
Is not the milkman as good and de.
serving as the bartender? asks the re.
! former. There are no regular snoozine
| hours for him and no strolls about town
Ton Sunday evening. The milking an6
chores must be. done, for the mayor al
lows his people to drink milk sever
days in the week. A Sunday nap woulG
| be better than the biggest excursio,
for the milkman, says the writer, ant
the mayor should see that he gets it.
eff you want the everlasting graft
tude Of the milkman,'' she concludes
"put the lid on the Sunday milk-ca1
and keep it there.' VI
The letter was unsigned and writer
in fine German hand. None of the
employees in the mayors office could
translate it and it was turned over tt
James Wirtensohn, clerk of the police
court, who returned translation il

IONKA FRUIT IS
TO GO INTO TIN
NEW LONG LAKE CANNERY sTIM.
ULATEs FRUIT GROWING.
Heretofore Fruit and Berries Picked
and Shipped After Heavy Rains Has
Yielded Little or No Return Prompt
Preserving Will Stop This Loss and
Afford Strong Market.

St. Paul and Minneapolis wholesale
merchants are vieing for control Of
the merchandising of the output Of the
new Long Lake cannery. The Mime
tonka Fruit & Vegetable company, just
organized, plans comparatively new
industry for Minnesota, the canning
of fruits and berries and the manufac-
ture of jams and the like. 1t will also
include the staple business of Mime
sofa canneries Of canning vegetables
and making pickles:
To insure supply of material, an
agent of the new company will tour
the Lake Minnetonka country to make
arrangements with farmers to raise
certain vegetables Or fruits. This will
insure working material. Construction
of the building has already begun and
it is the intention of the stockholders
to have the factory ready by June l
for the 1906 crop. The building and
machinery will cost $12,500.
The Minnetonka Fruit & Vegetable
company is the outgrowth of the Min
netonka Fruit Growers association,
which has been in existence several
years. The stock is divided up in small
amounts averaging 800, and this has
been taken by the farmers of the dis
| trict. -- ~ $50 g. 4
! Minnetonka is famous fruit coun
try, but much of the product is shipped
at loss. After rain, or under Ger
tain other conditions, fruit which is
still absolutely good will not stand
shipment. When shipped, the growers
receive nothing for this product, ow
ing to its condition at destination. The
prime object of the new cannerY is to
save such fruit. The farmers will nov
get return for their products make
something on their stock, and the can
merry will stimulate the growing o.
fruit and vegetables by paying goot
prices for the stuff so as to keep the
factory in operation.
! Inasmuch as the annual fruit ship
ment Of the Minnetonka association
reaches often as high as $4,000 tt
| $4,000 year, the possibilities of thu
new industry are large. -
Among the. fruits indigenous, to tn
region which will make good jam, jell..
ana preserves, are raspberries, straw
berries, dewberries, blackberries goose
berries and currants.
