BUNCH FRAMES A BILL To
REGULATE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Federal Gang Has a Substitute for Prohibition
Warranted Just as Good as the
Genuine Article.
Founding Adopted at Conference of Leading Politicians Seeks
Godfather to Stand Sponsor for 1t in Legislature

the governor and state board of exam
iners are empowered to issue licenses
for all of the liquor houses, wholesale
and retail. in the state. Seventy-fiVe
per cent Of the money derived from the
licenses goes TO the county or munich
pality In which the saloon operates
Twenty-Five per cent Of the license
money goes to the state to pay tor the
expense involved in the issuance of the
license and the governing Of the sa-
looms.
The bill would create a new board 20
examine into the conditions prevailing
I'm connection with the liquor traffic,
and this board would have power, by
means of inspectors, to inspect saloons
at all times and to report on whether
OF not the saloon regulations were OBJ
served. Under an adverse report the
governor and state board of examiners
have the power to revoke the license.
Code of Saloon Regulations.
A code Of saloon regulations is pro-
vided BY the proposed measure. Under
its terms the license is issued for the
sale Of liquor in one room only No
booths, rear rooms, or wine rooms are
/ permissible No chairs or tables are TO
be allowed I'm any saloon. There is also
an snti-trsating phase to the measure
which makes il unlawful for any man
| to buy anyone else a drink. Females
and minors are forbidden entrance TO
/ saloons at any time. Any violation Of
/ this code is sufficient cause under the
! bill for revocation Of license, and Grim
| fnal proceedings may also be brought
I against the saIooukeeper.
] Discussion over the terms OF this
/ bill, il is believed by the federal office
| holders. will preclude all agitation for
1 statewide prohibition, the thing that
most of all the political leaders are
pledged to prevent The intention was
/ to introduce this bill in the senate and
to pass the bin before the house bill on
/ Cannon's prohibition bill came & a
vote. This would give the house the
opportunity to choose the regulation
bill in preference to the Cannon meas
ure.
The prohibitionists, whom the bill
was drawn to appease, do not take
kindly to the measure. They admit
that many of the proposed amendments
10 the liquor laws. as embodied IN the
bill, are excellent. but they declare that
prohibition is much better and refuse
TO accept anything else. Besides, they
are Of the opinion that the bill was
drawn to be finally killed, with the ex-
cepti0n of that part which puts the sa-
looms under state control which they
contend is much worse than the pres
ent method, since IL makes the saloons
the adjunct Of an absolute and power
full political machine. One prohibition
ist said that the title of the bill should
be.
a bill for an act regulating saloons

SLIPPERY TRACKS.
Blizzard the Cause of d Fatal Acct
dent in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati. O.. Jan. 30.-The snow
storm and consequent slippery tracks
is given as the cause of an accident
here today that may cost at least two
lives, while several other persons were
injured.
A College Hill main line car with
thirty-seven passengers. jumped the
rails on Clifton avenue and tumbled
down a steep embankment, landing at
the bottom of a ravine with a mass of
shrieking, fighting men. women and
children caught under it, or hurled from
the platform OF through windows. More
than a score of passengers were injured,
some seriously. The motOrman, Joseph
z. Mulligan. is believed to be dying,
and Chief of Detectives Pope is prob
ably fatally hurt.
To his bravery can be laid the injuries
to Pope. He tried to help the motor
man to regain control of the car. He
was working with the brake when the
car jumped the track Pope stuck tC
his post, as did Motormsn Mulligsn.
Pope was formerly in the regular
army, having been awarded a medal
for bravery in Indian warfare, and is
widely known.
Motorman Mulligan died at the hos
pital without Iegaining consciousness
DR.. r. S. Rockhill. a professor in tbs
Cincinnati university, suffered severe
injuries. BY coasting into the trolley

end passengers were saved from being

If it is possible for them to find an
author for their bill, the leaders of the
Republican party, whose offices are in
the federal building, will have intro
duced in the legislature a measure pro
viding for saloon regulation, u act as
a counter-irritant to the prohibition bin
that is now worrying the politicians
This bill, IL passed, will take the saloons
out of the control of the counties and
municipalities and place them under the
direct control of the state, furnishing
a valuable adjunct to the political ma
chine of the party in power.
Prominent leaders of the prohibition
movement learned Of the proposed
measure yesterday afternoon. when il
became known that a conference of the
Republican leaders had agreed on the
measure to regulate saloons This con-
ference was held in the rooms of the
Cullen hotel, and was attended by Gov
enor William Spry, z. H. Cailister, in
ternaI revenue collector: James II. An
derson, deputy internal revenue cOllec-
tor; Hiram f. Booth. United states dis
trict attorney: Thomas Hull, United
states surveyor general, and one or two
other office-hoiding Republican poll
| ticians.
This conference. it is said, had under
consideration a measure for saloon reg
uiation, which, If satisfactory to the
I brewers, will be presented TO the legis-
/ iature, and printed i'll full in day OF
two in the official organ of the Repub-
lican party in Utah"-proyidins the
new press can negotiate it.

day that the politicians had much trOu
BILE in trying to find a member of tn
legislature who would Introduce the bill
1t was stated in an evening paper tina
Senator Carl Badger would introduce
this bill. Senator Badger however, wa
emphatic in his denial Of the parentag
