liquor license ordinance said city
Atty II. }. Dininny this morning
The tcrse statement was made m
the explanation of why the citys
sleuth. Chief of Detective George
Sheets, had failed yesterday under q
direct order Of the court 90 produce
men whom he had arrested but had
only their cash and not their persons
To- produce when their cases were
called
The statement however. brief as il
was made. wells "a lot OF interesting
stories within the inner circles Of the
administration. Following ON the heels
of the city attorneys recommendation
that hereafter the issuance OF saloon
licenses should conform TO the pre-
scribed rule of the statutes a recon-
mcndation that was resented by Mar
tin Mulvey who combines the Occupa-
ton of councilman with thar of whole

required just about 500 bail for the
gambling fellow this being the neces-
sary amount TO permit him to 60 back

WANTS GAMBLER JAILED.
Lately city Atty. Dininny has heard
OF two cases Of the hook-worm disease
i'm the gambling fraternity and the po-
lice department. When four cases set
for yesterday before Judge Bowman
were called and there was no response,
but the showing of the usual 500 bail
Mr.. Dininny got suspicious. Chief
Sheets. who OF course had the handling
OF Tho cases iu the arst instance. was
brought into court and unless there is
a studious violation Of the courts order,
he VIII round up and produce his four
men in court this afternoon.
Whether he does or does not. how
ever. the city attorney will be salts
fed, a. after Investigation in which
he had a lengthy talk with chief
Sheets and chief Barlow yesterday.
he has learned that the four men were
not gamblers. but rather OF the order
Of macquereaux. That being the case
Mr. Dininny viii be satisfied TO see the
city obtain 500 from each man.
But behind Il all, Mr.. Dininny does
not want TO see Mr. Mulvcy have the
real power Of the granting OF saloon
licenses, and as a saloon keeper and
seller Of liquor Mr.. Mulvey might
have some interest In gamblers, Mr.
Dininny wants to see too that gamblers
go TO jail instead Of paying into the
city treasury something like 500
month
Mr. Dninny said this morning chat
he had obtained the impression that
the four men called for yesterday in
court were gamblers but that after
investigation he had found that they
had been arrested for vagrancy. With
that assurance ne viii let the matter
rest content with the city's receiving
500 from each. but will not per
init any forfeiture OF bonds in the case
Of gamblers or persons arrested for the
violation Of liquor license ordinances
was tho reiteration made with n grim
smile that meant warfare.
