' Chicago. April 22.-The saloon

ton question. Definite figures are
lacking in many cases, but 1t seems
certain that not more than one hun
dred saloons were voted out Of bust
ness. The larger communities almost
without exception retain their licensed

which the question was an issue, gave
the saloons a majority Of 1852. The
principal exceptions to the general re-
suit were EfRngham. Thebes. Pinck.
NEVILLE and Naperville. Some thirty
five saloons lost their licenses In these
four cities.

John Sheldon who has been a por-
ter around the saloons of Billings for
some time past, vas arrested last night
while trying to sell for 50 cents a suit
case filled with good clothing.
To Chief of Police Talgo, who arrest
ed him, he claimed that the case be-
longed to him and that he had it in
one of the saloons for the past several
months.
There is n new suit in the grip
made by a firm of Chicago tailors and
there are receipts in the pockets of
one of the coats from a teamsters'
union made out to Gabriel Ferguson,
and also a receipt for road tax paid by

There have been a number of suit
cases stolen in the city in the past

not the property of Sheldon, as he was
never known to have as many clothes

Judge James R. Goss, president Of
the local bar association, is arranging
to call a meeting of the attorneys of
Billings to consider the Pray bill de.
signed to create two judicial districts
in Montana, one at. Helena and the
other at Butte.
In conjunction with Great Falls and
Missoula, the attorneys Of Billings and
eastern Montana are formulating pro-
tests against such action. Last night
there was a mass meeting held in
Great Falls to consider the matter.
It is proposed to present an amend
ment to the bill introduced by Con
gresham Pray providing for the es-
tablishment of two federal districts
in Montana, the one in the eastern sec
ton to hold two sessions of court an
nually at Billings, Great Falls and
Helena and the n in the western
section to hold two sessions in Mis-
soula and Butte. This would permit
the Judge to have his headquarters in
any of the cities where he holds court.
Attorney ". M. Johnston received
a communication containing the de-
tails Of the amendment several days
ago and turned it over to Judge Goss,
who has been requested to call a
meeting to discuss it and adopt res
olutions.
