What Meeks Says.
In conversation with The Gate City
shortly after the suits were placed on
file Mr.. Meeks stated that he could
not assign any reasons for bringing
the suits, but believed that the charg,
es which would be preferred against
the defendants where wholly of a
technical nature. He said that At
torneys Odle and Fee were in KeokuF
yesterday preparing the injunction
petitions and that they had left tbs
city today. Mr.. Meeks has been
believer in the anti-saloon movement
for a number of years and says thai
! it was because of his sympathy fol
| it that he was asked to become the
I plaintiff. He is well known resi-
dent, having lived here for thirty
three years.
There are approximately forty sa
looms in operation in Keokuk ant
/ how the remainder of them have es
capped the action of the Anti-Salooi
league is conjectural.

spect to the opening and closing houl

other provisions of the statute. Prat
tically all of the saloons have place

been made $50 as an added prote'

being conducted in compliance with
the provisions of the mulct law 1t
is not improbable. however, that a
few may have transgressed the law.
That, however, is a surmise, and 1t
remains to be ascertained when these
cases come up for trial in the district
court whether there have been infrac
lions sufficient to warrant permanent
iniunctions. Suits of his character
based it is believed, on technical
charges, is discriminating against
their interests, say saloon men. The
saloon men believe they are entitled
to the same policy of reasonable con
