FIGHT FOR 22 CENTS.
Chicago Lawyer Brings Suit Against
 Department Store.

Chicago, Sept 16.-Court, jury, two attorneys and half dozen wit nesses spent three hours yesterday afternoon in Judge Eberhardt's court in a controversy involving 22 cents. Finally court was adjourned, the judge reserving his instructions to the jury.
 The case is one in which William Hindley, an attorney, is suing a de- partment store for 22 cents, the amount he alleges he was charged for a substitute "just as good' as the ar ticle he ordered when he was sent by his wife to the store to purchase a deodorizer. He says the clerks re- fused to refund his money, but the store denies this.
 Attorney Hamilton Moses, repre- senting the department store, offered 25 cents for principal and interest to Hindley at the commencement of the trial and the offer was refused.

But if the Emperor dIsapproves OF

that he put up a poor defense of the

The consensus Of opinion. however, is
that the Emperor viii accept the re-

Of the Emperor's inspired discourses
may be expected for d long time.

HOUR RULE
TO GOVERN CLUBS
Excise Board Considers
Plan to Treat All Alike in
Liquor Sale.

To compel all clubs within the Dis
uiCJ OF Columbia 10 discontinue the
sale of liquor after midnight and on
Sundays, is a suggestion nov under
consideration by the Excise Board.
One Of the members of the board an
uuuuced himself a heartily in favor Of
a proposition 10 enforce in the clubs
The same regulations. regarding hours.
which apply 10 the barrOoms. OF i'm other
words, that they be permitted TO sell
liquor only between the hours OF a. m.
ana midnight ou week days, and that
no liquor be sold on Sundays.
The number of alleged fake clubs IN
the District has led the board 10 CON
slider The adoption OF this step. The
board is convinced that there are a
number Of such organizations conduct
cd Tor the benefit OF one OF two men.
THESE clubs, IL Us alleged, have no speci-
Tic membership, and any one who is
known may obtain a drink at any time.
''I- is undoubtedly true said mem
ber of the board today, THAT these
fake clubs reflect discTedit on legitimate
organizations. Many persons have the
impression that the majority OF clubs
are nothing more than places in which
I4uCT Is sold after the saloons are
closed. As IL is now drinks are sold on
Sunday and after midnight by permis-
sion of the Excise Board.
1t would be better. iE my opinion,
TO close down absolutely on an the
clubs. and later. If il is shown at the
hearings that they are legitimate or
ganlZati1us and not proprietary instiJu-
lions, TO again grant that permission
Such a step viii undoubtedly develop
opposition, but the Excise Board viii be
in a position TO demand proof that the
club in question Is a bona tide OrganiZa-

The Police Department is now engaged
in the collection of evidence against Ger
tain saloons and alleged fake clubs,
which will be presented TO the Excise
Board early in December. Pending
hearings in these cases, the licenses in
