league compels him to give up his
horse and buy one of the animals it
has, charging the lowest possible price.
In cases where it is found on in

the league gives him one and charges
nothing. The old worked-out horse is
destroyed humanely.
Several who discussed the matter
yesterday declared they believed 75
per cent of the dog licenses. which will
be paid to the league for taking care
of the dog pound, was too high. But
it was soon established that under
the system that has been in vogue the
pound has cost more. than the amount
collected for dog licenses. In addition
to the city receiving 25 per cent of all
dog licenses as a profit it's treasury will

on trial before a jury in Judge VIII
bur's court yesterday.

$500 worth of jewelry, replaced the

The ring was pawned for $50 and
later sold to the pawnbroker. Booth
says the ring was given to him by
Mrs. O'Dea to be sold, the couple being
in straitened circumstances.
A few months ago Miss Clara Kre-

ALL WANT TO CURB
DANCE HALL EVILS
MORLEY'S MANAGER DESIRES
ORDINANCE PASSED
Indorses All the Restrictions His OPP
ponents Suggest with the Excep-
tion of the Sunday Closing
Clause

While the dance hall ordinance has
been repealed, and there is now no
regulation of any kind, there will be,
and the most rabid regulator is f. III.
Solomon, manager of Morley's Grand
avenue auditorium, who circulated the
referendum petition that led to the re-
peal of the ordinance by the council
Monday.
Solomon has become the most earnest
regulator of them all, and yesterday
visited his private attorney to have him
draw up an ordinance which, he says,
will be presented to the council at it's
next session. The ordinance Mr.. Solo
mon is having prepared will concur
with the one repealed by the council i'll
all respects except one, and that is the
Sunday closing. Solomon's ordinance
will contain a clause limiting the age
of those who attend the dance halls to
more than Is years, prohibiting the sale
of liquors in such places, and, in fact.
containing all the points on which the
dance hall opponents insist, with the
single exception of the Sunday closing
clause.
1t seems quite probable that such an
ordinance will pass the council, al
though several of the members are in
favor of the Sunday closing. Council
men CldIlpltL, Lyon, 11edly anu loilhHt
almost certainly would vote for such
an ordinance. Blanchard, Wallace and
Pease probably would vote against it.,
as they prefer to have these places
closed on Sundays. Dromgold and
Wren have not made clear their atti-
tude in the matter, but apparently
would as soon vote for the one as the
other. Either Wren's or Dromgold's s
vote would pass such an ordinance, as
without the emergency clause, only hVe
votes would be required.
There is a strong probability that
Mayor Harper will refuse to sign the
repeating ordinance when it is pre-
sented to him this morning. The mayor
has expressed a desire to have the peo-
pie make known their wants in the
matter, and he may use his veto in an
effort to have the matter left to a REFER
endum vote. If he does veto the repeal
the council probably will pass 1t over
his negative as that body is anxious
to keep all legislation in its own hands
A petition signed by Kramer, Woods
and Goldberg, each of whom conducts
dancing academies, has been presented
to the council attached to an ordinance
the passage of which they urge. The
ordinance these three dancing hall pro-
prietors ask is in every respect similar
10 the one first introduced by the
Church Federation and includes the
Sunday closing clause.
Solomon declares he is as anxious as
any one to keep young children out OF
his place and has no desire to sell
liquor, but he proposes to keep open ON
Sunday If there is any way under the
law to do so.
