TO MAKE CLUBS PAY
LIQUOR LICENSE FEE
INSPECTOR CRAIG TO ACT ON
SUPREME COURTS DlCTA
Authorities Believe That Revenue Of
$4,000 May Be Gained Through
Moneys Received from So
caI Organizations

Since the supreme court decided the
city has a legal right to force clubs
to pay a fee for selling liquor to its
members, License Inspector Craig
again is taking up the matter of club
licenses.
This was one of Mayor Harper's theo-
ries when he first came into office. He
sent two messages to the council ask
ing that body to pass an ordinance
compelling social clubs to take out
licenses and to pay the city a fee for
liquor selling privileges. He set the
fee at S25 a month and declared the
city would receive a revenue of $4,000
a year from this source alone.
While several members of the coun-
Gil favored the plan, Councilman Wal
lace opposed it vigorously, declaring it
would encourage the establishment of
blind pigs under the guise of social
clubs. The ordinance never was passed.
Craig is a little more modest in his
estimate of the amount of revenue to
he derived from club licenses, but be-
lieves it would not fall far short of
100000 a year. He also suggests clubs
be compelled TO procure permits from
the police commission for their pool
and billiard tables and bowling alleys,
as public billiard rooms are compelled
to do. Under such a system he says
he would be admitted to these clubs
for purposes of investigation, whereas
now they will not let him past the

quisitors-Murder Theory
Retained

WASHINGTON, March S.-The mys-
terry surrounding the death of Walter
F. Schultz a Chicago artist, whose
body was found Sunday with deep
cut in the neck at Alexandria, Va,
proved too deep for the coroner's jury
to solve today, and no verdict was rem
dered.
The jury was dismissed, subject tt
call after the coroner has secured some
further facts which he is Investigate
ing.
It is declared. however. that the YER
dict will be that Schultz met death
at the hands of some person or persons
unknown.
A letter to the victim written by his
sister, Mrs. Ellen Dorothy Gillette of
Sioux City, Iowa, Indicated that
Schultz was of a rowing disposition,
and said among other things:
Have you any idea where you will
settle, or will you return to Chicago"
w. w. Barker, in whose place of
business Walter Schultz's dead body
was found near Alexandria, Va, and
by whom he was employed for ten
years, said today that Schultz was sub
iect to periodical fits of insanity. He
declared the young man had been an
inmate of an asylum for the insane.
Three years ago a former office as
sociate of Schultz said he had been dis
covered in Lincoln park distributing
money. He had given away several
hundred dollars when interrupted and
was about to distribute more
Mr.. Barker suggested that the ar
fist may have committed suicide while
