JOHN ziElINSkI, CRIPPLE, WHO
WOULD OPEN SALOON IN RE-
sTRIcTED DISTRICT, LOSES, 10
TO 1s-coREMus' HOT SHOT.

Another bitter and prolonged fight
on the saloon question marked the
session OF the council Tuesday night
AS was the case week previously,
the discussion was over the petitions
TO allow John Zielinski, a cripple. to
start a saloon at No. 1868 Dubois-st
This was opposed because II is the
first attempt To break into the restrict
ed district created by the Watson or
dinance.
Zielinski lost by vote OF 10 TO 16.
Aid. Louis Tossy made the harshest
speech. He declared that a wave OF
hypocrisy has struck Detroit, in the
guise OF temperance, and that many
OF the members of the committee of
100 are whited sepulchres IF their
ideas prevail. the grass will be grow

sions OF Piety Hill"
Tossy assailed his colleagues with
accusations of inconsistency saying
that they campaign in saloon and try
to square their official actions.
Aid Korte and Watson declared that
the issue was bigger one than that
of Zielinski's fortunes-the question
of whether the number of saloons In
Detroit shall be checked and cut
down. Watson went so far as TO say
that Zielinski is being used by the
liquor interests to break down the re-
striction ordinance.
Zielinski's supporters have not CIV
eh up and Will introduce another Pc
tition.

the claims and accounts committee

attention TO the alleged illegality OF
the charge.
