FOR THROOP UNIVERSITY

PASADENA, Nov. 29.-Following out

LONG BEACH, Nov. 29.-The I'M
looked for action yesterday by the city
council in refusing to call an election
to vote on a table license amendment
for the city charter has stirred every
citizen of Long Beach.
The Indignation meeting called for
last night was attended by more than
800 voters, and with the exception OF
two or three ministers, who were pres
ent to note the proceedings, and the
three councilmen who caused all the
trouble" every person there voted
favorably upon the resolution presented
by F. c. Roberts, expressing indigna-
ton because the petition signed by the
majority of voters was unheeded. The
three councilmen were called upon but
did not choose to explain their posi-
tions.
This meeting had its aftermath, for
the ministers present realized the eff
feet the move had and appreciated the
wave of public sentiment as expressed
at the meeting. A meeting of the Min
isterial association was hurriedly
called at midnight, it is said, and the
members voted to submit petitions to
their congregations today, urging the
Councilmen to remain by their stand
and also calling another mass meeting
for the auditorium tonight, to be a
gathering of ths Prohibitionists, who
believe the council acted properly.
New Petitions Circulated
The petitions agreed upon by the
pastors were passed today. Some of
the members of the churches refused
to sign, believing the license matter
should be left to a vote of the people,
as the will of the majority requested.
rTOyof1hf1c r1onafif1or was a IAy .,
number of ministers and the action Of
the councilmen was praised.
AT both last nights meeting and the
meeting tonight it was urged upon
those present that they should turn
out tomorrow morning TO the regular
meeting which is to be held by the city
council. The council chamber will be
crowded, doubtless, and a lively argu-
ment is expected. Citizens will address
the council, probably, on both sides of
the question.
Tomorrow morning the other charter
amendments which have been agreed
upon by the charter revision commit
tee will be taken up by the council and
an election upon them will be called,
without doubt. The signers Of the
table license petitions hope the coun-
Gil will vote to have the liquor amend
ment voted upon at the same time.
Action must be taken at once if the
election can be held in time for adop-
ton Of the amendment by the present
legislature.
Councilmen Hoag, Storms and Robin
son voted to put the liquor amendment
proposition over until the general cleo
ton in December, 1909. Councilman
McGrew and Lane were absent from
the meeting. Councilman Dayman and
Councilman Callahan voted against this
move. Councilman Dayman is lead
ing member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and a trustee.
