DisreputabIe Places.

CHICAGO, October 21.--At the clos
ing session today of the second Inter-
national Brewers Congress, Berlin, Ger
many, was selected as the meeting place
for 1913.
The brewers received shock at the
closing banquet tonight when one of
their own number attacked breweries in
a manner little short of the best efforts
the temperance and numerous religious
societies have been directing against the
exposition
II. Hamilton, president of the Houston
Brewing Company of Houston, Tex,
speaking to a resolution offered, reading:
Resolved, That public drinking places
which are the haunts of vice are danger
Gus and should be eliminated.
Controlled by Breweries, He Says.
What is the use of adopting resolu-
tons like these, when it is well known
that most of the improper places in large
cities are IN some way owned or con-
trolled by breweries?' said Mr. Hamil-
ton.
THE owning OF these disreputab.e
places and the protection of them by the
brewing interests are what give us a
black eye.
1.-The anti-liquor interests take these
facts and make capital of them, as they
justly should.

Texas. but we cut ourselves off from such
institutions, and we have won our way

SoI of the code. enacted in 1902
Section S3J provides that any person in
the District who shall carry concealed or
openly any deadly or dangerous weapon

than $500 or be imprisoned not exceeding

in case of police officers and officers of
the army, navy and militia. 1t is pro-
vided that nothing in the section shall be
construed to prevent a person from keep
ing or carrying about weapon in his
place of business or home or from place
of purchase to his, home nor construed
so as to apply to any person granted a
permit to carry such weapon by the judge
of the Police Court.
In section SJ6 there is a provision that
all such weapons those described
shall be taken from any persons Offend
ing against the provisions of the preced-
ing section and shall, upon conviction,
he disposed OF may be ordered by the

Authority to Regulate.

Mr.. Schuldt pointed out that the Com
missioners are given express authority to
make regulations upon the subject of con-
cealed weapons.
''The acts of January 2i. 1887. and Feb
ruary 20, 1S}2. give them the right to
make reasonable and usual police regula-
TONS, he said, but the act of June 80
1905. authorizes them to make such Ordi-
nances that they may deem necessary for
the regulation of firearms, projectiles
explosives or weapons of any kind in the
District of Columbia. Pursuant to this
authority the Commissioners have enact
ed the regulations contained in article
Nj of the police regulations relating to
firearms, etc.
1nasmuch as the act of June 30 1906
is later than that of the concealed weapon
law contained in the code, passed in 1902
1t will he seen that Congress recognizes
the right of the Commissioners to make
regulations therefor and has given them
that authority"

sequently standing room Is always at a
premium when Hogan Is one Of the
principals.
Hogan Following Britt's Footsteps.
1t Will be recalled tina; Britt had al
most as many enemies as he had friends
among the fight fans. So Hogan NOT
only learned the same trade that Britt
a followed prior to earning a fortune
IN the ring. but he also bids fair to
tread in almost every footprint made
by his predecessor.
In his recent bouts Hogan has not
shown as terrific punching powers as
ne did when he started fighting. Life
around the training camp and constant
sparring has worked or the rough edges
and he now resorts to science more than
his ability TO slug to win his battles.
Antoine LaGrave. the Butchertown
lightweight who fought a fifteen round
draw with Battling Nelson In San Fran
cisco. gave Hogan one OF the toughest
scraps the budding professional ever
had. 1t was a slashing four-round draw.
Frankie Burns. the Oakland boxer, who
Invaded the East last spring. and
Frank Smith. another local light
weight who also spent a few months
around New York without creating much
OF a stir. lost close decisions to Hogan.

weight. who Is now fighting in the
middle western section OF the country.

1t must be remembered that this con-
test was Hogan's first fight over four
rounds, and that Il was necessary for
him TO husband his strength IN order to
find out whether or not he could fight
the full twenty ounds
Frayne Saved by Timekeeper.
Another thing that should not be over
looked Is Frayne's experience. Barring
the eight-round knockout defeat regis

Lew Powell. no other lightweight has
ever sent him down for the count. For
a green %youngster. Hogan displayed
marked skill n used great Judgment
In his fight with Frayne to whom he
administered a terrible drubbinE. At
that the probability Is Hogan would
have won via the knockout route had
II not been for a mistake on the part
OF the timekeeper in pulling the bell
cord a minute too soon when Frayne
was being battered all over the ring and
appeared to be on the varge of COL
lapsing in the fifteenth round.
Jack Hogan made one grave mistake.
That was his failure to accept the nf-
teen round match with Battling Nelson,
Fearing that he would not be able to
last this number Of rounds against a
tough nut like the Battler. Hogan re-
fused to sign articles calling for more
than ten rounds, which resulted in An
