FOREIGNERS WIN IN CHICAGO
Gain Liquor Privileges at Entertain
ment From Cpty Council
Despite Protests
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 12.-The United So
cieties of Chicago, composed largely of
persons of foreign birth or parentage,
won their fight in the council for the
privilege of special permits to dispense
liquor at dances and other entertain
ments.
BY a vote of Al to 9. the aldermen
passed the ordinance framed by the
societies which empowers the mayor to
grant the right to sell liquor from 3
p. m. to a. m.
In taking this action the council side
tracked the ordinance recommended by
the committee on license as guaranteed
to stamp out the dance hall evil. After
a spirited encounter between its spon-
sors and the representatives of the so
cleties the committee ordinance, which
was full of restrictive provisions, was
laid aside.
There is still trouble in store for the
vctors of the fight. The contention
will be raised that under the law any
bar at which liquor is dispensed is a
dram shop and that the ordinances for
bid any dram shop to sell liquor after
a. m.-ths construction of the law
having been applied to restaurants it
will be argued that 1t should apply also
to entertainments.
The council also passed, by a vote of
So to IL, the ordinance permitting the
consolidation of the Chicago Edison and
Commercial electric companies and
providing for reduction in the rates
to be charged for electric light and
power.

INSPECTION VIII Help Their Busis
ness--Hopes for Municipal
Abattoir

Health officer Powers went through
his daily duties yesterday with a new
light of hope in his eyes, for it seems
probable to him that at last the thing
he has most wished for and worked
hardest for ever since he has been in
office, municipal abattoir, is about to
be accomplished.
A special committee Of the city coun-
cil composed of Smith, Kern and Ham
mon, with the health officer and the
city attorney, will hold a meeting in the
committee room of the city hall this
morning, for the purpose of planning
some thorough and public investigation
of the local packing and slaughter
houses. When this investigation has
been completed and the city has found
out what Is needed, it will recommend
such laws for passage by the city coun-
ell as will restore public confidence in
fresh meats and packed products.
1t is expected that representatives
from every one of the local packing
and slaughter houses will attend the
meeting of the committee this morning
and offer to throw open their establish
ments for an official inspection. Chair
man Smith of the committee is con-
WINGED that local meat products are all
right and that no such conditions as
were found in Chicago exist in Los An
geles.
But local restaurant proprietors
packers and others dealing in meat
have appealed to members of the coun-
Gil for some action that will restore
confidence, and it is the aim of this
committee to get to the bottom OF
things and learn what action the city
can take to insure good meat and by
products.

rected, and In which the jury was COM
posed of famous playwrights, Captain
Robert Marshall being the foreman,
while the crowd was made up of a
host of well known actors and actresses.
Following Lady Bancroft, who had
referred to her as "Sweet Nell Of Old
Drury," Miss Terry made a short
speech, thanking all for their kindness.
Shaking hands with M. Coquelin and
kissing Signora Duse, whose hand she
retained to the end of her little speech,
Miss Terry proceeded:
Though stood as long as the pyra-
mids have stood, could never say what

heart TO wonder at all you have done
for me, but not the tongue to praise
you I will not say good-by. 1t is one
of my chief joys today that need not
say good-by just yet, but can still
speak to you as one who is still among

ice, IL you please
