Sufficient
UPHOLDTHECHARTER

ALAMEDA, June 29.-That the city
council will not stand for 20 saloons
in Alameda at this time was clearly
shown last night when the municipal
legislators unanimously turned down
the application of William Zingg and
Peter Clark for a license to conduct a
liquor drinking establishment at 1919
Park street, despite the fact that the
applicants had the support of Mayor
E. K. Taylor. The new charter limits
the humber of liquor licenses that may
be issued to 20. There is now and for
some years, has been but 19 saloons
permitted to do business here.
Zingg and Clark felt confident that
they would be granted the twentieth
saloon license and the summary re-
fusal of their application by the city
council astonished and disappointed
them. Their application was indorsed
by the following. all living and doing
business within radius of 500 feet of
the place where zingg and Clark in
tended to open their saloon: Howard
K. James, Leon A. Konigshofer, Henry

Blanding, E. NJ. Prosser. AS securities
the applicants had DR.. J. A. Riley and
J. P. Leonard
President F. Sumner Loop of the city
council was emphatic in his opposition
to granting another liquor license.
When Mayor Taylor in arguing why
Zingg and Clark should be given a
saloon license said that there Is at
present but one saloon in the block
where it was planned to open the new
drinking place, President Loop re-
marked:
We'll, I believe that one saloon is
enough for that block. There is not
room there for another when the good
of the city is taken into consideration.
There are nine saloons in Park street.
our principal business thoroughfare,
and 1 am opposed to making it a con-
tinuous line of drinking places. I am
not opposed to Zingg or Clark person
ally, but l am against granting a
twentieth saloon license at this time"
Councilman B. L. Fisher said that he
was friendly with both Zingg and
Clark, but that he would vote against
the granting of another saloon license
even If it was applied for by his own
brother.

other people up in it. The story that
Mr.. Massie induced me to leave home
by promising to get me position in 3
theatrical company is ridiculous. for

Massie and asked him to help me and
that he did so, but at that time he had
nothing TO do with my leaving and die

OF child stealing, in department 2 OF
