SALOON MEN ANXIOUS
To OPEN AGAIN AND
WANT HIGHER LICENSE

More than 1000 members OF the
Knights of the Royal Arch, saloon
keepers, and the California Liquor
Dealers Association held joint con-
ference yesterday afternoon In Frank
lin Hall and discussed the necessity Of
reopening for business at the earliest
opportunity. A committee OF ten was
appointed to wait upon the Police
Commissioners, Mayor Schmitz and
the citizens committee of forty, re-
questing them to take immediate steps
to aid the trade and to raise the sa-
loon license to at least $400 a year.
The saloon men and the retail liquor
dealers probably suffered more from
the recent disaster than any other
merchants in the city, and, since the
time Of the disaster, nothing has been
done for their relief. Bartenders and
clerks in the liquor stores were thrown
out Of employment and most Of them
are without money or means Of OBJ
tanning a livelihood.
The saloon-keepers say that a con-
slant demand is being made upon
them for beer by the vast army OF la
borers now employed throughout the
city. Workingmen say they are suf-
fering from thirst and are unable to
drink the poisonous water They say
they will be satisfied with beer and
believe they are entitled to a limited
quantity each day.
Acting on this suggestion, the saloon
men and the retailers will ask the au-
thorities If some plan cannot be de-
vised whereby the workmen may be
supplied with the frothy liquid. They
are willing to open places in specified
sections of the city to supply the de-
mand. They are willing to pledge
their word that nothing but beer will
be dispensed If the authorities see
their way clear to grant this prayer.
The saloon men are out to reform
the trade. They are willing to make
concessions and are all for orderly
places and warfare against the dives
that formerly thrived here. They
are ready to accept high license, be-
lieving that this will force large
percentage, IL not all, of the undesira-
bic places out of business for all time
and thus place the trade on higher
plane than 1t has occupied in many
years.
During the meeting yesterday ad-
dresses were made by leading saloon
keepers and liquor dealers. All made
straightforward talks, explaining the
present sad plight of the trade and
urging immediate action on the part
Of the workers, so that the authorities
may give the case careful considera-
ton.
The following committee of ten was
appointed by Chairman Hoist to
draft the resolutions that will be pre-
sented to the authorities: J. Hoist,
chairman; c. ]. Clack, secretary; E..
L. Wagner, David Becker, Jesse e.
Marks, Theodore Lundstedt, P. NJ Nc
Gushin, Charles Mitchell, Fred M
Bent, d. j. A. O'Keefe.

BERKELEY, May 16.--When the se-
ries Of symphony concerts at the uni
versity was planned last winter the
master minds responsible for the
project determined that the sixth and
last concert Of the season should be
the natural climax Of the series. The
five concerts preceding were to be de-
voted to the symphony music of
Beethoven, Mozart, Grieg, Wagner and
others, and when the sixth programme
was made up the human voice was to
have its inning. HandePs ".Iessiah"
was to be sung by a chorus Of three
hundred university students. the uni
versity orchestra accompanying.
The feast Of music was to be per-
feet, complete.
Fate intervened. The earthquake
came, and the hre. University stu
dents became Red Cross workers. Mu-
sicians Of the orchestra gave up their
homes because their occupation was
gone. Many left the country. Re
hearsals Of singing students could not
be held. There was no possibility of

THE FIRST STACE-cOAcH.
wick and Trenton, N. j.,
in 1744

AS public conveyances or the stage
coach had been in vogue in England
since 1910, the establishment of sim
liar. conveyance was demanded in
America many years before the war for
independence, says the Metropolitan
Magazine. AS early as 1744, therefore,
stage line started to run between
New Brunswick and Trenton, N. T.,
and by 1855 this route had been ex-
tended over from New York to Ph3la-
delphia. Moreover, as in England, so
in America-the advent of the stage
coach necessitated marked improve
ments in the highways, while the build
ing of better roads and turnpikes nat
urally created a greater demand for
more coaches, and, what was more to
the purpose. lighter vehicles. In 1771
there were but SO conveyances of ev-
cry description in the city of Phila-
delphia, but by 1894 their number had
increased to 927-more than two-thirds
of which were comparatively light ve-
hlcles--a condition which led one OF
the local papers to publish most dep
recatory article concerning the use OF
conveyances in which it was stated
that '.even farmers wanted carriages"

Sure enough. it did, as found by join
ing the crowd The place was dingy and
unattractive, but it had a bar in full
blast and the man behind the counter
couldn't dish out the liquor fast enough.
I called for a drink, too, but the bar
tender, instead of waiting on me, asked
me for my ticket l told him l had
none and he proceeded to explain:
"'This is a clubroom and we don't

However, there is the secretary and you
might ask him.
AT this the person pointed out as

other had told me.

HIS KIND CAME IN PUNCHES

Some time ago, in New York city, a

Harper's Magazine.
My darling he said, in distress,
''what is the matter?"
"a dreaml" she gasped. 81 have had
such horrible dream"
Her husband begged her to tell it to
him, in order that he might comfort her.
After long persuasion she was induced
to say this:
Il thought I was walking down Broad
way, and | came to a warehouse, where
there was large placard, Husbands for
Sale You could get beautiful ones tor
81 800, and very nice ones for as low az
$780,"
The husband asked, innocently: did
you see any that looked like me?''
The sobs became strangling. Dozens

punches, like asparagus, and sold for ten
cents a bunch
