Saloonkeepers Have Not Organized to
Fight the New Law.


The Free Press is Informed that the
saloons are making no fight on the pro-
posed new charter, and do not intend
to do so. 1t is said that no organi-
Zation has been formed to oppose the
new charter While individuals may be
opposed to it, they are making no fight,
and will content themselves by ex-
pressing their views at the polls.
1t is learned that a great many who
voted against the new charter last fall
are going TO vote for the one now un-
der consideration, believing that it is
satisfactory and for the best interests
of the city.
The clause in the new charter allow
ing public Improvements to be paid Tor
over a term of ten years, and providing
that the city shall pay for paving
street intersections and for curb and
cutters at street intersections, ETC., is
appealing strongly to people in all
parts of the city. The many other
splendid features of the new charter
that is now submitted are also making
friends for it on all sides.

that for time threatened the business
district of the city. The Winona hotel

Will Take An Appeal.
ID. j. Severance, one of the attorneys
appearing for Mrs. Smith, said this
afternoon that an appeal would be taken
70 the supreme court although the
method of procedure had not been de-
cided definitely. He told OF the hard.
ship Mrs. Smith had suffered by the
delay in securing Judge Quinn's order
granting twenty days stay which
clause is nearly always part of the
courts order in decisions of this kind.
Mr. Severance exressed mis- surprise at
another incident i'm the case, alleging
that Judge Quinn had written his de-
cision without reading the briefs sub
mitted by Mrs. Smiths attorneys
The order granting a stay of twenty
days, which had it arrived yesterday
would have relieved Mrs. Smith from
the Inconvenience and indignity of being
elected from the house she occupied, ar
rived this morning, but whether or not
Mrs. Smith will move into the house
again is not known.
The request for stay of execution
was phOned to Judge Quinn, who was
at Blue Earth on Tuesday He i'm
mediately laid aside all other work
and prepared the stay and sent the
document to the hotel with instructions
that il be mailed. This was as far
as he could proceed in the matter, no
other request having been made of
him.
1t is an unusual procedure to grant
stay upon a telephone request, but
he did so i'm this instance
Some months ago, so it is under
stood, the banks attorney made mo-
ton to have a receiver take charge of
the property, but this was opposed
by Mrs. Smith.
