ILLEGAL LIQUOR
LICENSES ARE
EXPOSED

After taking up an hour hearing
the objections of the Y. M, c. A. to
the renewal of a saloon license at
the Lincoln bar, corner of First av.
and Lincoln St. and hearing the
other side, also, the council left the
matter where it took it up. Its
finance committee refused to rec
ommend the license and asked that
the whole council handle it instead.
The council tried and then tossed
il back to the finance committee
again.
Attorney Sam Stern, represent
ing parties who conduct a lodging
house upstairs. charged the saloon
with being disreputable, alleging
that young girls were lured there
and that women and children to
pass upstairs were often compelled
to step over the body of drunken
soldier. Furthermore, the owner OF
the property, Rev. VIM. Nelson
stipulated in the lease that never
were the premises to be used for
the sale of intoxicants. The terms
have been violated in a suitcase.
Attorney Horace Kimball, repre-
senting H. l.. Crosby, of the Inland
brewery. said he represented the
"two poor men" who had invested
their all" in the saloon and would
be left with 80 cents if they
couldn't do business at the old
stand. He said that the two ladies
who conduct the lodging house had
made a proposition to sell out for
$4,000 and that the trouble was in
stigated by them because the offer
was not accepted. In reality the
Inland brewery Is the interested
party and the two poor men" are
couple of barkeepers who pay for
y goods and license at so much per
month. The brewery furnishing
] both.
Councilman Pratt raised the
point that one party owned the IL
cense and another party owned the
saloon, and he seemed much
puzzled Other councilmen asked
Mr.. Pratt if he wasn't "stalling
about the puzzled part.
1t is the custom of the council
to grant licenses to breweries for
places instead of to the individuals
who run the saloons. This is
strictly illegal, but it has been done
for years and is still being done
Each brewery has scores of Ii
censes which it farms out tC
places at so much per month.

FINE LITTLE FRAMEUP
FOR COMING CAMPAIGN

"The republican machine and
the democratic machine are like
two peas in pod" said a High
binder today. The democratic ma
chine can name the nominee on the
republican ticket if it feels so dis
posed. Before many days roll
around you will see that an indie
pendent ticket will become in
evitable, as the good citizens will
rebel against tickets manufactured
by. the machine combination. Jack
O'Brien and Political Engineer Gill
have agreed that if a third ticket
could be forced into the field the
democrats had a "cinch" and there
is no lack of evidence that they are
not discouraging a three cornered
game.
1.-TWO courses are left open to the
Federated clubs. One Is to await
the nominations of both the ola
| parties and the other is to nomin-
ate in mass convention a full city
ticket and compel o. the republicans
to endorse it. The other is to
await the action of both the old
party machines and then launch q
ticket made up of candidates that
are known to be Independent OF
the slums and corporations.
There is an increasing anl cen
tinually growing demand that Zach

council last night from property
owners of East Sprague av. The
people of that section of town do

say that they will tear out the old
one and make a rock fill its entire
distance with strong, durable sides.
if the city will simply give them
permission. Enough money has
been expended in patching up the
antiquated structure to build two
new bridges and then some. The
communication was referred to the
finance committee.
