tonight. One is the "dope" ordinance,
another is the race track proposition,
and the third is the investigation OF
the two saloons-the Heidelberg and
James Tedesco 8 BARN which murders
recently were committed shortly after
midnight.
The saloon investigation probably
will come up first An unidentified man

I:3O o 'clock on the morning of July
90. Tim Patten, alias Churchill, was

Second South street. at which he pur-
chased flask of whisky, and this sa-
loon will be investigated along with
the Heidelberg and the Tedesco bar to
ascertain why 1t was open after mid
night in violation of the midnight clos"
ing ordinance. The investigation Is
pursuant to a resolution introduced by
Mr.. Mckinney.
Witnesses to Be Present.
The witnesses for the Heidelberg in
vestigation will be Harry Gilmer, wait"
er; William Murphy, night bartender,
and Policemen Patterson and Sleater.
For the Tedesco and Bank bars lnyes-
tigation, Detectives Wilson and Goldlng
and others have been subpoenaed.
The "dope' ordinance has been
pretty thoroughly gone. into by com
mittee of the whole, which, last Thurs
day evening, decided to recommend the
measure for passage tonight, and it
should not take long TO dispose of this
or other disposal of cocaine, morphine,
heroin or opium or any of the deriya-
tives Of opium or any preparation
wherein aither IS an ingredient except
upon the prescription of reputable Ii
censed practicing physician, and such
prescription shall not be reflled. 1
The restrictions do not apply, Oh
course, TO preparations recognized by
the United States pharmacopia or to
standard proprietary medicines that are
not narcotic. neither do they apply to
the wholesale sale by jobbers, whole
salers and manufacturers to retailers
nor to sales at retail by retail druggists
to regular practitioners OF medicine,
nor sales made to manufacturers of
proprietary or pharmaceutical Prepara--
tions for use in the manufacture of
pitfalls. colleges, scientific or public inv
stitutions.
Penalty for Violation.
The penalty for violation of the meas
ure is fine of $299 or imprisonment
in the city Jail for six months, or both
such fine and imprisonment.
The ordinance is drafted along lines
proposed by the physicians of the city
and will hit a heavy blow at so-called
soothing syrups and the like, it Is
thought.
II is doubtful if the race-track prop
osition will be reached tonight If it
is, it Will come up on the reeommenda-
tion of majority of the police. license
and municipal laws committees that the
petition of Frank Knox and others for
thirty days of racing IN the spring and
a similar number of days of racing in
the fall of each yenr be denied. Messrs-
Fernstrom, Hall. Reedall. Wood. Me
Kinney and Lyme have signed the re-
port. Councilmen Mulvey, Moreton,
Davis and O'Donnell are Withholding
their signatures, but some Of these may
