MR TAYLOR MAKES A
0TATEMENT ABOUT DECISION

I am disappointed but not surprised
at The decision Of the supreme court
handed down today in what IL known
a. the Elks club case. 1t was not q
case that forced the courts to decide
the right of a club to sell intoxicants
to its members. but from what can
learn OF the decision over the phone,
the court has pretty eRectually settled
the question that club cannot dis
pense liquor to its members.
This suit grew out of An attempt on
the part of the city to enforce an or
dinance prepared by the law firm of
Waldo and Dawson at the instance OF
Mr.. T. B. Coulter who was mayor at
the time the ordinance was passed.
This particular ordinance declared all
places where intoxicants were sold
within the limits Of Canon City to be
a naisance and directed the marshal
to abate such places. The city was
proSeoding to do this when the Elks
cluk applied for, and was granted, an
injuhcfion restraining 1t from enforc-
ing the ordinance ON the ground that
the .erdinance was unconstitutional
and void and no question OF the right
Of the club to dispense intoxicants was
involved in the case, at least In nc
wal that would compel the court to
decide the question.
The case that was decided in Judge
Cooper's court recently is quite diff
ferent 1t was one that presented the
club question clearly and Judge Coop
er decided 1t against the club, and
when this case gets to the supreme
court then all questions as to the
clubs rights will be settled. The only
thing l know about the supreme
courts decision today learned from
talk over the phone with the Anti
Saloon league Office at Denver, and
from 1t 1 learned that the only Ques'
ton decided against the city was thai
1t had not the power to confiscate IL
quors until proper convictions were
had in court, and that there is very
cold comfort in this decision for the
Elks CLUB or any other club that runi
saloon, save and except little cost
that they may recover. hope to have
CODY OF the decision tomorrow ant
then We will know more about 1t.

The state supreme court Monday
handed down a decision in the fa-
nous Canon City Elks club case.
which has been pending in that tri-
bunal for many months. The decision
a far as can be ascertained, relates
solely to the question whether the city
had the right to declare the club
public nuisance under the provisions
of the ordinance and to abate 1t as
such.
II affirms the action Of Judge J. W.
Sheafor OF Colorado Springs. who tried
the case in the district court here for
Judge Bailey. in granting the club an
Injunction restraining the police from
coniiscating the property OF the club
and locking its doors AZ an institution
inimical to public morals. 1t In no
wise Affects the question whether the
club has the right to dispense liquors
or not. That proposition was not in
volved in the case.
Seven or eight months ago the city
| instituted proceedings against the
club under the ordinance defining a
public nuisance, and on being taken
into the district court, q perpetual In
junction was issued prohibiting the
authorities from interfering with the
affairs OF the club. The case was
appealed by the city to the supreme
court where 1t remained for some time
before q bearing could be obtained
On the goth of January argument was
made before the court, all of the
judges being present The city was
represented In the case by Bonynge 4
Ritter OF Denver and by Taylor 4
Sayre of this city. The attorneys for
the Elks club were Waldo, Dawson 4
Stump and Jeffrey & Stinemeyer.
A supplemental case. growing out
OF the one alluded to. was then insti-
tuted by the city against the trustees
of the Elks club, making them defen'
dants In a police proceeding in which
the question at issue was whether the
club had the right under its charter
to dispense liquors among its mem
bers. This was taken to the count!

Elections we're held in most OF the
incorporated towns and villages Of
Fremont county Tuesday for the pur-
pose of choosing Legislative and ad-
ministrative ohhcers, the only excep-
tions being Canon City and Florence.
which are organised under different
character Of municipal charter. by
which they are constituted cities Of the
second class.
Portland is not incorporated, hence
NO election was held At that place.
In South Canon there was but one
ticket in the field, and, as result.
but little interest was shown in the
balloting. only II votes out Of cleo
torate of something like 40 being
registered. The Indifference was due
to the fact that there was NO contest
and to the certainty OF a triumph for
the anti-license people. The Citizens'
party had nominated W. F. Gleason
for mayor and II. L. Bowman. W. B.
Newton, J. W. Mckinley and Ell Elrod
for village trustees. the latter for a
period OF one year, and they were
elected without opposition. succeeding
w. II. Gilman, F. B. Quinlan and A. 8.
Bailey, as members Of the village
council. The election was a quiet one
and was without special incident Of
any kind.
In Prospsct Heights there were two
matters to be determined by the cleo
ton, one of them to decide whether
that village should become license ter
ritory or not as provided by an act cf
the general assembly. and the other to
elect successors to such members OF
the council whose term Of ONCE had
expired by Limitation. There was but
one list of nominees. that OF the Peo-
pies party. which favored D. saloon
proposition. There was NO opposition
to it and q votes were cast all OF them
for making 1t saloon territory. Gus
taye Oleson was reelected mayor and
Louis Pirc, Tony Adamic and G. Ric-
chuti trustees, succeeding William
Lougherty, John Kemmic and John
Neusick, as members of the village
board. Had there been any prohibition
sentiment a much larger vote could
have been summoned by its opponents
to prevent its success at the polls.
The people of Prospect Heights
seem to have forestalled the citizens
OF South Canon in making their vii
lage saloon territory at yesterday 5
election and there appears to be a
probability that it will remain so in
definitely Had the matter gone over
until the precinct election in Novem-
ber the proposition would. no doubt,
have been defeated by an overwhelm-
ing majority. 1t is understood that
yesterdays action by the people OF
the Heights cannot be undone by the
voters of the precinct at the next en-
suing election.
In East Canon there was no issue
to be settled and only a small vote
was polled. It Is certain. however
that the council will Be q pretty dry
one. Not as many people came out q

number was sufficient to elect the
