NEW COUNCIL RESCINDS
OLD RIGID RULING
Decides to Use Own Discretion in
Granting Renewal of License to Sell
Near Beer to Men Convicted of IL
legal Practices.

The rule made by the old council
that conviction for illegal liquor
selling or a plea Of guilty to that
charge would mean a revokal of a
near beer license. has been changed
by the new council. Owing to the
difficulty encountered in preventing
the guilty men to retain control of
the near beer saloons by having
someone else secure the license the
council at a caucus last Monday eve
ming decided that it was better not
to have any hard and fast rules, but
to leave themselves free to use dis
cretion.
one argument made in favor of
changing the rule was the one that it
would be easier to control and regu-
late places owned by men who have
been found guilty once and who
therefore face a prison sentence if
they are found guilty again than it
would be to regulate places conduct
ed by men who have nothing more
serious than fines hanging over their
heads
The discussion arose over the ques-
ton of renewing the licenses for the
barrooms of the Hotel Pendleton and
the Hotel St George. The proprietors

mass of craning spectators.
Curtiss had left the higher cur
rents and come down. Hamilton had
landed tamely. Paulhan pointed
north, went up 1000 feet, passed ovcr

BY this time just one thing in all
the universe for the crowd-the man
and his air conquering machine rap
idly became a speck in the gathering
twilight. 1t seemed as though this
must be something new even to the
eternal hills and the wild old sea.
At an estimated height of 1900 feet
Paulhan described a great circle, as
/: feeling the currents. He was a
mile and half from the camp. BY
that time word had been spread that
he had beaten the worlds record and
the crowd was aroused to frenzy. He
was still climbing. He had taken
Jacobs ladder of dreams to the
threshold of the stars.
Four thousand feet and till climb
ing. Sense of distance from earth
was lost almost. Had the void swal-
lowed the man and his little wings
no one would have been surprised.
The machine became palmer to the
view. Paulhan was descending. He
swept easily in front of the grand
stand after being nearly 81 minutes
in the air. AS he leaped from his
machine with cheeks glowing and
I eyes flashing, he was seized by his

srandstand where he barred his head

in his honor.
Aviator Comes to Earth.
Los Angeles. Jan. 13.-The first at

resulted in a mishap. Hillary Beachy
took out his new Gill-Dosch biplane
and after several vain attempts to get
the engine started, he left the ground
in nice shape and flew about 100 fee
when the engines stopped. The ma
chine struck the ground heavily, and
one of it's wings were broken. This
will put it out of commission for G
day at least. Beachy was uninjurec
beyond slight jarring. He was much
downcast on account of the acciden
as he had set his heart on flying to-
day.
