RULING AFFECTS
MOLINE SALOONS
If Opinion of Judge Gest Is Not
Reversed Considerable Stir
Will Result.
WOULD CUT 13 LICENSES
City Ordinance Setting Pro Rata of
Bars TO Population Not Com
prehensiye Enough.

AS a result of a ruling made by
Judge w H Gest in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon, the city commits
sion and the saloons of Moline are
considerably up in the air, as it were.
Unless the ruling is reversed, - Of
Moline's 90 saloon keepers will have to
quit business. Just which Is it Will
be and how to determine them. is the
question that will puzzle the Molin-
ers.
The ruling was made in the case of
the people against Charles Van de
GanOche for the use of Fred @ John
son. The latter started quo warranto
proceedings against Van de Ganoche,
who runs a saloon. In the case the
point was raised that the city ordin-
ance of Moline permits only one sa-
loon 10 every 500 population, but makes
exception of the number in existence
al the time of the passage of the ord
nance
HINGES ON RENEWAL.
The ordinance further states that it
does not apply to renewals of the IL
censes of the IS. and the measure was
framed not TO do away with saloons.
but TO prevent any adding to the num-
Der.
Now the court ruling was TO the eff
feet that there is no such thing as re
newal of a license. and that therefore
when the present licenses expire, which
will be six months hence, the ordin-
ance will require that only 4s or pos
sibly 40 of the saloons can be re-
licensed. The whole question hinges
on whether or not license is a con
tinuous right or whether it is a right
for a year at a time.
HAVE 4 TASK AHEAD.
II seems probable that the case viii
be carried 10 the supreme court be-
fore II is allowed 10 drop. If Judge
Gest's ruling is not reversed. the Mo
line commissioners will find themselves
in a hot box. They will either have to
offend the reform element which put
most of them into office, by revoking
the ordinance. or they will have TO Of
fend the saloon interests by cutting
OF 13 licenses. They appear to be in ,

signed to curtail was presented to the
House of Commons yesterday. The
mem bers, after a perfunctory view Of
the corpse, declared it was not the
veto bill they mad brought into the
world and had nourished and cherish
ed, and straightway voted to bury the
iIlegitimate fspring Of the lords. In
other words, the commons, on motion
of the premier. rejected the lords
amendment in their entirety.
Wild scenes verging on riot were
witnessed in the house when the veto
bill was called up for consideration in
its amended form as it came from the
House of Lords. The galleries joined
in the tumult.5
Today the crisis in the warfare be-
tween the people and the peers will be
reached. when the commons will resur
rect the veto bill in it's original shape
and will send it back to the House of
Lords, with the curt and businesslike
inquiry, what are you going to do
about it?''
