Brewery Fears 1t Will Have to
Move and Sets Up a
Cry for Help.
A FIGHT ON SUBMISSION
MISSOURI BANKERS AND MANU-
FACTuRERS ARE TO STORM
THE LEGISLATURE TO HOLD UP
STATE PROHIBITION.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 1.-THE An
heuser-Busch Brewing association, one
of the greatest institutions of it's kind
in the world, is frightened at the pros
pect of statewide prohibition for Mis-
souri,.
In a statement issued by Adolphus
Busch, head of the company, an ap-
peal is made to st. Louis financial
and commercial institutions to aid in
the fight against submission, the state
ment showing the possibility of the
city losing one of it's greatest indus
trial establishments. The. statement
follows:
I'VE have so much confidence in
the good sense and liberality of the
people of Missouri that we are not
planning to move from st. Louis and
the state. We do not want to move
from the city where our world wide
business has been built up. I person
ally would deeply regret leaving st.
Louis. wholly apart from consider
atoms of business, because l love the
city. but il we are forced to go we
will move across the river.
Our industry is perfectly legiti-
mate one-one of the greatest revenue
payers to the national, state and city
governments and one of the largest
employers of labor; therefore, why
should it not be maintained and sus-
tanned? We sell in every country on
the globe and must protect our bust
ness.
"Adolphus Busch"
Bankers to Storm Legislature.
Forty St. Louis bankers and manu-
facturers will go before the legisla-
ture in person to protest against state
wide prohibition. -.
The real estate exchange and the
executive council of the Manufacture
ers' association adopted formal pro-
tests against submission, but the
Business Mems league and the ST.
Louis Merchants exchange executive
committees refused to place themsel-
yes officially on record against the
measure, although many members of
each signed protests as individuals.
The senate committee on judiciary
at jefferson City yesterday reported
without recommendation the Humph-
rey bill providing for statutory proni-
bition. The measure will go on the
calendar for engrossment, but its final
disposition is uncertain.

OPTION SECURED
BY BOARD WORKS
Secure a Site on West End of
Lincoln Street for z
Hose House.
CHIEF MILLER DELIGHTED
NE THINKS THAT THE END OF
THE PRESENT YEAR WILL SEE
THE BUILDING coMPLETED-Is
GOOD LOCATION.

About the only real optimistic per-
son as to the probability OF a hose
house on the west side during the
present administration is Chief Mil.
Ter. He believes there will be some.
thing really exciting doing within a
short time. The board of works has an
option on lot on West Fifth street,
and Miller says he would not be sur
prised to see a new house up by the
'hrst OF next year.
The option secured by the board is
tOn lot in the Peacock addition, at
the west end of Lincoln street. A
ninety-foOt frontage would be offered
and depth as great as desired could
obtained. The land Is well drained,
,cated on a hillside and would offer
beautiful building site. Fifth street
is a little narrow, but this would not
necessarily conflict any with a team
emerging from the building as they
start from standstill and gain no
momentum by the time the door is
reached. Fifth street is believed ad-
visable as 1t is thoroughfare from
one corporate limit to the other. So
many OF the West Richmond streets
have Offsets or are intercepted in some
way.
City Grows Westward.
The city is expected to grow west
ward and by putting the house on
Fifth street it would be found cen
trally located ten years or SO from the
present. The eastern section of the
West Side does not need the addi-
tional fire protection as much as that
farther west, north and south.
Just now the question of West
Side hose house is prominent in poll
tics. The republican candidates are
appealing for votes from that part of
the city there are about 1000 resi-
dents west of the river) and the hose
house proposition appears in the plat
forms.
