THE COUNCIL WILL
MEET MORE OFTEN
THREE r1EETINGS WITHIN EIGHT
DAYS IN ORDER TO DISPOSE OF
REVOCATION CASE.
ALDERMAN EFFiNGER EXCUSED
Many Visitors Present To Watch
Proceedings OF City Fathers-Des-
patch Evident.

The council adjourned Thursday
day, at which time the bond of Rev.
l.. A. Goddard complainant, petition
ing for the revocation of the license of
Herman Welk, charged with selling
liquor to minors, Feb %, will be con-
sidered. If the security be sufficient,
the defendant will probably be sum-
moned to appear before the city
fathers Thursday April l and show
why his license should not be re-
voked.
The resolution regarding the security
for costs to be furnished by the COM
plainant calls for two freehOlders
qualifying for $780, 1t was offered by
Alderman Altpeter and seconded by
Alderman Welk. Alderman Risley
objected to the measure on the grounds
that the amount was too large and
that one freeholder besides the COM
plainant was sufficient.
The sense of the council was for
the measure as offered excepting
Alderman Risley who voted no.
Alderman Effinger asked to be ex-
cused from voting. Alderman Power
was absent. President Thuerer pre-
sided in the absence of Mayor Hull
who was in Chicago on account of the
funeral of relative. Attorney f. r.
Bentley acted as city attorney in the
absence of City Attorney Kelly. There
was large crowd present of those
interested on both sides of the revoca-
tion question. The business of the
evening was conducted with fair des-
patch, although some anxiety rela-
tive to the best manner of handling
the Welk case most satisfactorily to
all concerned was exhibited.
After the resolution requiring Sc
curity for costs was passed another
resolution calling for the appearance
af Herman Welk before the council
April l at s o'clock in the evening
was introduced by Alderman RisIey.
It was found that no action could
be taken on this until the bond of the
complainant was filed.
Rev. l.. A. Goddard, the complain
ant, was present and explained that
he had bond ready but that it was
not like the bond required by the
Council. He stated that by Monday
he could have the bond as called for
in the resolution. 1t was then de-
cided that the next meeting of the
council should be Monday evening.
The purpose apparent was to hasten
the case as. much as reasonably pos
sible and issue the summons at the
Monday meeting for the appearance
of the defendant Thursday.
Some mention was made as to the
effect of the case on election, because
of the no-license compaign, but the
council seemed anxious to dispose of
the case as speedily as possible and IS
properly as possible regardless of the
election effects.
Alderman Jacobs offered a resolu-
ton instructing the street committee
to use the street sweepings to fill to
grade Fourth street between Eliza
beth and Camp streets.
