On Personal Plea Of Edwin Gerald.,
Ceancil, Ready to Fight, Decide. to
Accept $500 Liquor Fee
SEES NO REASON TOWITHH0LD IT
City Attorney Calls Attention to Fact
That Entente Cordiale with.
*Pussyfoot' Has Been Broken.

Undismayed by the fact that all
the saloons in this district have been
closed by agents working under
orders from "Pussyfoot" Johnson,
Edwin Geralds, one of the Bemidji
: Injunction" saloonkeepers applied
to the council for liquor license
last evening. After he had made a
personal plea that the license be
granted and having expressed a
willingness to pay over his $500 and
take chance, the council granted
the request. Mr.. Geralds license
expires Dec. IS. He has paid his
money to the city clerk and now has
his new license.
Beforethe license was granted there
was hesitancy on the part ofthe alder
man as to the propriety ofissuing such
license under present conditions,
but after having decided to do so,
a precedent was established which
probably will result in other liquor
dealers making similar applications.
Before acting on the proposition,
the opinion of the City Attorney Tor
rance was requested and while that
Official advised the council to be
conservative, he called attention to
the fact that the entente cordiale
with the government had been
broken by the action of the agents
in closing the saloons here, and that
it now was up to the council to fight
back if it saw fit.
The council apparently thought
the moment opportune to put on
the war paint for the license was
granted.
The Geralds saloon is one of the
twelve doing business under pro-
lection of the restraining orders
taken out last Friday, and which are
to be argued in federal court at St
Paul on December 20.
The council meeting was brief as
possible out of Difference to City
Clerk Maloy, who has not entirely
recovered from his recent indisposit-
ION. The council authorized Mr..
MaIoy to select a deputy, but up to
this afternoon he had not decided
on the appointment.
City Engineer Spencer reported
that he would make special trip to
Rainy River to investigate the cause
of the collapse of the septic tank in
that village recently. He hopes to be
able to gather valuable data to be
used in connection with his work of
supervising the erection of the Be-
midi septic tank.
Tom Johnson was allowed pay.
ment of $500 for work done on the
tank. 1t developed that the tank
would be ready to turn over to the
city by the city engineer by January
1, but the city engineer said that it
would be unwise to accept the
structure as properly constructed
for at least a month or six weeks.

inaugurators of trips to the Jeffries-
johnson fight when he arranged with
"Tex" Richard to have one hundred
seats reserved for the men who are go
ing to take the Newspaper Special"
train to the scene of the great encoun-
ter. The limit of one hundred fans who

expected that before the week is out
there won't be any reservations unas-
signed.
Not only will the sportsmen be AXE
to the fight, but they will also be able
to get a good view of the land through
which they travel, as arrangements
have been made by which the various
points of interest on the trip will be
visited. The trip will be comfortable,
easy and thoroughly enjoyable.
En- route visits will be made at the
Grand Canyon, Chicago, Denver, Los
Angeles, Salt Lake City and st. Louis,
over a halliday being spent in each
place mentioned.
The round-trip, including sleeper
berth, meals and a good seat at the
ringside are ~obtainable from MIR. Star
key for $195, at $50 Eighth avenue.

had broken his arm. Since that time
the boys have met different fig hters ard
a glance at their record will show that
there is not much to chose between
them. Match-makers CT many clubs
ave tried to bring them together again,
but it remained for Benny Miller, of the
Municipal A. c.. to clinch matters. In
the lite quiet betting dc ne about town
today there wasn't any choice. There
Were as many willing to wager on
Pierce as there were on Kline.
1t looks as if there will be a boxing
feast tonight. In addition to the main
bout there will be two ~high-c1ass pre-
liminaries of four rounds each, and two
semi-inals of six rounds. In one of the
semi-flnals Willie Lewis. of Newark,
will meet Nathan Ehrlich, of Ph.ladel-
phia, at 1875 pounds. and in the other
Young Guarini, of Jersey City, Will
meet Alex Dunshreth, of P~assaic, at 12S
pounds.
There is sure to be a bumper crowd
in the clubhouse when the gong calls
the boys to the centre of the ring for
the main event of the evening. Today
there were calls for tickets from New
York and even Philadelphia, where
Young Pierce is we'll thought of. The
advance sale of tickets has been I'M
usually large.
The seating arrangements in the
clubhouse will please the patrons to-
night. The diagram is such thasa clear

Baltimore fans are all worked up over
the twelve-round bout between Monte

It develops that Corbett really did
hurt his hand in landing IN Jeffries's
jaw. His thumb was painfully strained,
but the injury is probably not serious
enough to interfere with his boxing.
Changes have been made in the new
outdoor ring to suit Jeffries's idea. and
a good deal of boxing is looked for in

Many of the spectators came from
the interior towns and there were many
of the early arrivals from the East in
the audience.
Johnson was in the best of spirits.
He went through his workout as If it
were a pleasure. Ten rounds of lively
boxing gave the crowd a chance to get
a line on the holder of the title, and
his showing in his attacks upon the
gymnasium apparatus was highly ap-
proved by his critics. The medicine ball
exhibition johnson converted into a
comedy sketch, with George Cotton. his
sparring partner, doing the rough
comedy.
After boxing four rounds with Cotton

Patsy himself admitted today that in
Young Pierce. the colored Philadelphia

his weight. His most recent victory
was ovcr Joe Theel. Theel is one of the
classiest fighters in the Quaker City

seen that Patsy will have to travel at
top speed every inch of the six-round
route, IL he wants a decision over the
Philadelphia boy.
The talk about town today was that
the bout would hardly go the limit.
Both fighters are of the whirlwind or
der. of the kind that will swap punch
for punch and guarantee to keep the
spectators on their toes throughout
Both have a knockout in either hand
and II may be that ore or the oehe~ will
