MADE EVIDENCE;
is FOUND GUILTY
Russian Police Chief Sentenced for
Showing too Much Zeal in Get
ting Convictions.

st. Petersburg, Jan. Colonel Ia
varnitsky, chief of the secret police at
Vadivostok, has been sentenced to
four years penal servitule and the loss
of his military rights on the charge of
having manufactured evidence in po-
litical cases. Two OF the coloners sub
ordinates were sentenced to shorter
terms. Zarnitzky repeatedly placed
bombs and illegal literature in the
apartments of suspected persons and
by this means secured convictions. He
prepared documents tending to show
that Captain Baron Fersen, who was
at one time the Russian naval attache
at Washington and who later became
commander of the port of Vladivostock
and General Plug who commanded the
troops at Fladivostock in 1907. were
connected with the revolutionists and
his false evidence had much TO do with
the removal of these officers. Many
political prisoners will be released as
a result of these revelations.

LIMIT THE NUMBER
After April ! Davenport Will Give
License to but One Saloon for
Each 500 People.
AN ORDINANCE is PASSED
Council Adopts Measure That Has
Been Suggested in Rock Island
Purchase Auto Patrol.

After Apil / the city of Davenport
will limit the number of saloons to
one for each 500 population. An ord
nance providing for this limitation
was adopted by the city council last
evening. Saloons that now exist will
be allowed to renew their licenses,
but no new saloons will be licensed
until the proportion is maintained.
Wanted Ii Here.
The action of the Davenport council
is of particular interest here, since an
effort was made in the last year to
secure the adoption of such an ord
nance by the Rock Island city council.
The ordinance was proposed by Alder
man Ostrom, but was not received IA
vorably by the council. 1t is argued
that since the number of saloons is
greater than the population set, the
places now in business will be more
likely to operate strictly according to
lazy, since it will be impossible to Sc
cure new license when one is re-
yoked
An Auto Patrol.
Davenport is to buy an automobile
patrol A resolution providing for the
purchase of this equipment for the po-
lice department at cost of cbouI
$4,000 was adopted.
