Good win Unriyalcd.

The lion and the lamb lay together In
the city council chamber last night
and neither was hurt.
The regular Monday night meeting
was In reality a sort of homecoming
event and get together party Couu
Gilman Mulycy was not only convinced
that city Atty. Dininny had been Jus
tlhed In lacking up" the license com
| mittoc. Of which Mulvcy is "a member
and Dininny an avowed censor. but
Thought u b. really "a good thing for
the committee to be stirred up by the
attorney every once In a while
Everybody In the council chamber
agreed with him. any rufned feelings
int out an apology. and city Atty.
Dininny sat by smiling benignly and
contentcd
A the bombs and rockets prepared
Tor last nights exhibition In the council
chamber were carefully packed away,
with tho fuses drawn. In the closet be-
fore the meeting. and there were bat
one or two ripplcs to disturb the
placidity Of the evening
The real work Of the council was the
granting Of 1872 liquor licenses. and In
spite Of the disposition of the members
toward harmony, one or two little tits
came up--but not between Mulvey and
city Atty, Dininny After all had had
their say, Mr.. Mulvey. who was billed

arose to remark that:
II think the ciuy attorney was justified
I'm calling our attention to the law.

uembcr) has worked faithfully and
hard In the investigation OF the appli-
cations for licenses
1T II not often that the city attorney
and | have agreed. but in this case we
do. Every salooukeeper should be
made to comply with the law, and
think that I'm the majority of cases the
intentions OF the saloonkecpers are
good
IF the city attorney has called our
attention to what should be done It
does not hurt us II does not hurt or
harm to shake us up at any time.
We've been shook and we have tried to
do the best We can in the investiga-

piications for liquor licenses
TWO APPLICATIONS DENIED.
The license committee had recon-
mended that 1872 licenses be granted
and two applications denied These
latter were for the Doull Drug COM
pany and the Schramm- johnson Drugs
company. In the case OF DOull the
application was denied because OF his
recent appearance in the courts for
violations of the license ordinance. and
in the case OF Schramm-J Johnson II
was found that this firm Is already In
the possession OF three licenses for its
various stores. and this number IS the
limit under the ordinance that can DO
issued to one firm.
After some argument Councilman Nc
Kinney succeeded Tn having an amend
mcnt 10 the liquor ordinance adopted
providing that no license shall be grant
al TO any saloon that engages in
bucket shop turf exchange, pool
selling or gambling
Councilman J. b. Moreton. chairman
OF the license committee, thought this
amendment was unnecessary bccausi
we have $4,000 in bonds from lS2
saloonkeepers TO guarantee that there
will be no gambling in their places
well, why don't you enforce It In
stead Of endorsing it?' came az A
Quick retort from Councilman Mcktn-
nev, and Mr. A. J. Davis, temporary
president OF the council. had to ask
that no personalities be INDUCED IN.
\ little later In the consideration ut
the license committee report Council
man Mckinney insisted;
1T is notorious that gambling Is GO
ing on in the saloons and the chairman
OF the license committee does not need
a magnifying glass to discover IT
For p brief time Councilman Han
had some objection to tho granting or
"A license to the saloon AT Warm
Springs. but his objections were over
come.
when Councilman Mulvey showed
The white flag OF truce. which had been
brought out after a long conference

committee had evidently seen the light
