new agreement by which the state
mulCt law Is being partially enforced
in Davenport Those who have been Il"
customed to get a morning meal i'll the

The saloons of the city are so far
strictly living up to their agreement.
All are closing at 10 o'clock at nigh.
The blinds have been taken down and
wine rooms torn out.
More than $1,000 has been paid into
the office of County Clerk Harry J.
Mcfarland by the saloonkeepers as
court costs and fees for Attorney c.

torney Neal not only receives $25 a
torney fees in each case but is allowed
an additional 80 cents as copy fee il
each case, making $3.50 as ,his share
of each saloonkeeper's contribution.
This will bring his share of the total
receipts to considerably over $4,000.
Flaw In Agreement.
An important discovery has been
made in the agreement entered into
between Captain Neal and the saloon
keepers, which shows the prosecution
i'll its haste to push the cases, presen,-
ed loosely drawn document for the
saloonkeeper to sign.
The agreement reads as follows.
eve, the undersigned, hereby agree
to close our places of business, so ia
as our bar and liquor business is cor.
Cerned, and TO sell no liquor Of any
kind or character from 10 O'Clock each
Saturday night until after ? O'Clock
the following Sunday"
BY a careful perusal of the above
it will be seen the salooukeeper has
signed to close his place of business
from 10 O'Clock Saturday night untl
2 o'clock the following Sunday. This
agreement does not specify that afte,
closing at 10'clock Saturday night
they shall remain closed until o'cloct
p. m. on the following Sunday, or ever
until o'clock Sunday afternoon. L
simply says o'clock the following
Sunday. According to what they have
signed. the saloonkeeper has therefore
simply agreed to remain closed from
10 o'clock Saturday night until
o'clock the following Sunday, whic,
means o. clock Sunday morning, !
he desires to interpret it as such.
