Petition Signed by Several Hundred
Voters In Regard to Limiting
Saloons Read to Alderman.
CAUSED SEVERAL DlscusnoHs
Matter Laid on the Table-First
Reading of $1,000 License Resol-
ution Made.

Considerable excitement was
caused at the meeting of the Bemidji
city council last evening when
petition was read by the city clerk,
and which had been signed by nearly
200 voters of the city, calling for
that body to raise liquor licenses
from $500 to $1,000, there was also
another clause in the petition which
called for the number of saloons
being limited to 16.
After the petition had been read,
Alderman at Large L. F. Johnson
took up considerable time in discus
sing it, saying that he did not believe
that half of the signers were tax
payers in the city and that he did
not approve OF the petition.
Previous to the reading of the
petition the resolution raising the
licenses to $1,000 which the city at
tOrney, P. J. Russell, had been in
'structed to draw up, had been read.
Reverend Flesher of the Metho-
dist church and Reverend White of
the Presbyterian church both spoke
In favor Of the petition.
: Alderman johnson In his remarks
in regard to the petition, gruffiy
criticised to a certain extent those of
the city alderman who had signed the
petition, to which remarks Alderman
Brown, of the fourth ward, took ex-
ception, and in plain words told the
alderman at large, the members of
the council and those in attendance
at the meeting why he had signed
the petition and that he could not
see where it was anyones business
whether he signed petition or not.
Mr.. Browns remarks brought the
listeners to their feet and he was
loudly cheered.
Alderman Smart then made
motion that the petition be laid on
the table which was seconded and
the motion carried.
After two more readings of the
resolution raising the license fee
from $500 to $1,000 the resolution
will be voted upon.
If the resolution is favored by the
aldermen it will mean that after the
first of July, this year, the licenses
will be $1,000.
ALI bills were approved by the
auditing committee and we're order
ed paid ~.
The report of the municipal court
as having turned over $121.25 to the
city treasurer was accepted.
Thomas Bailey asked that his Ii
quor license be transferred to F. S.
Lycan and the application was
granted.
J. B. Hook made application to
the council to be allowed to use
part of third street in doing some
excavating under the building of
Clavin & Tanner.
The first reading of the .resolu-
ton causing all eating houses in the
rear of saloons, and which have no
street entrance, to be discontinued,
was read.
Alderman Klein suggested that
person to be allowed to sell malt
should be forced to obtain license,
but nothing was done for the present,
as the state legislature is consider
ing a law in regard to the selling of
malt.
It was voted that all three banks
of the city be made city repositories.

sion and under the promise that they
should be returned to the owner, an
official at the girls training school,
These things had been used by Su-
perintendent Whittier Of the boys
school.
"After presenting them to the
committee I was Informed that the
members would consider them later.
We left the school building for the
train. 1 discovered the committee
men did not have the articles and 1
telephoned Superintendent Whittier
and in a more brief than courteous
manner he said he knew nothing Of
them. I have not yet secured the
articles but if they are not in my
hands within twenty-four hours I
shall secure writ of replevin.'
There is to be one more public
hearing in the investigation. This
will again be held in the senate
chamber and has been called for
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Stephens
has a couple of witnesses to present
and will then sum up the evidence.
The evidence has been so con-
elusive that there has been mis-
management at the institution and
the testimony obtained at the school
was so startling that 1t is now be-
ing predicted that Superintendent
Whittier will be asked to resign at
once. Should the committee decide
to spare Whittier it seems pretty
certain that it will recommend that
certain suborGinates be discharged
and that corporal punishment be
done away with In any event it
is likely that minority re-
port calling for the dismissal of
Whittier will be presented and this
will throw the fight on the floor of
the senate and house. The commit
tee is expected by Thursday or Fri
day of this week.
There isn't much real progress be-
ing made on reapportfonment bill,
although the senators who assumed
the burden Of preparing a new meas
ure are still hard at work. Senator
Rockne, who opposed the Congdon
bill, is taking an active part in the
new bill. The new measure pro-
vides that Hennepin county shall
have but one additional senator,
Du1uIA Du| oAS RAN ASQAu0Cy uVut.
1t is said that such a bill cannot be
passed. In the meantime, Cover
nor Eberhart, to close friends, re-
iterates his determination to call an
extra session.
