thousand persons witnessed the produc-
ton BY q cast of .,GoO players Of the
Canterbury Pilgrims" a pageant.
Gloucester day celebration is an an
nual fixture in the local calendar. but
this year an unusually elaborate program
was arranged. as it was thought the &C
casion would be marked by the presence
of President Taft. The inability of the
President to come on accoun: of the
pressure of tariff affairs in Washington
caused much regret and some slight
changes in the program were necessary
at the last moment. but the arrangements
as whole were carried on: originally
planned.
President Sends Regrets.
The committee having in charge the an
nual fetes received the following tele-
gram from President Taft:
Il am greatly distressed in not being
able to fulfill my engagement to be pres
ent at the Gloucester day celebration. Au-
gust Z. with the Canterbury pilgrims.
have been looking forward TO the visit
with much pleasure. My enforced alb
sence is a personal disappointment TO me.
but the vote on the tariff bill on the 9TH
of August makes il absolutely impossible
for me to be absent from Washington
that day. ! am sure all present will
have a delightful time. and I envy them
their opportunity.

SALOON MEN ASK QUESTIONS

Attorney General Byers' Ruling COM
P~licates Local situation.
1t is safe to say that cold shivers ran
down the spine Of many a saloon keeper In
Council Bluffs when he took up his news
paper yesterday morning and read the dis
patch from Des Moines relative to a con-
struction placed on the Moon law by At
torney General Byers. The saloonmsn rave
received some hard knocks lately, but some
OF them were inclined to regard the an
nouncement from the attorney generals Of
flee as a solar plexus blow. Some Of them.
however, expressed the hope that II was
not as bad as II seemed.
II wonder" said one saloonman, IF this
is What District Superintendent Chambers
OF the Iowa Anti-saloon league referred to
when he said recently that he still had
something UP his sleeve7"
County Attorney Hess was inclined TO
the opinion that the ruling Of the attorney
general will not affect the saloons in this
city TO any great extent. 81 had expected
to hear today from Mr.. Byers," said Mr.,
Hess, and In the absence OF a copy Of his
construction Of this law 1 am. Of course,
unable to say with any positiveness what
effect II will rave locally. From what |
have read in the dispatches from Des
Moines, however, 1 am Of the opinion that
most of the permits issued by the city
council will hold good. In a few cases It
may be that the permits will be held void
and the saloonmen now doing business
under them will have to quit"
The situation In Council Bluffs is con-
ceded to be somewhat complicated. Owing
to the crusade made against the local ga
looms ~ the Iowa A~nti-Saloon league and
others, the saloonmen deemed Il best to
start over Just prior to the Moon Law go
Ing into effect on an entirely new basis.
