To Gust Officials.

Des Moines, July S.-Special: May.
Ors of Iowa cities who permitted their
city councils to issue more saloon
permits than allowed by the Moon
law and county attorneys who allow
ed this procedure to take place with
out any action will be ousted from Of
fee under the Cosson law. John B.
Hammond declared that he would
bring suits in several Iowa counties
asking the courts to remove the mayors
and county attorneys from office for
failing to enforce the Moon law in re-
gard to the number of permits allow
ed in each city. Iowa mayors and
county attorneys have allowed fla.
grant violations of the Moon law by
the city councils, declared Mr.. Ham
mond. THE Interpretation of T.
Moon law is that there can be only
one saloon to every 1000 inhabitants.
Many Iowa cities, among them being
Davenport and Oskaloosa, have violat-
ed the Moon law. At Oskaloosa the
city council issued permits for fifteen
saloons When the city Is only entitled
to nine. In Davenport the condition
was disgraceful That city has 140
more saloons than allowed by the
Moon law. My attorneys are now
preparing papers in the case and will
institute suit Immediately"

jured and their driving horse is dead
as a result of an accident that &C.
cured Sunday morning. Mrs. MattiX
has her right arm broken above the
wrist and is badly bruised about the
head and body, while Mr.. Mattix is
badly bruised about the body.
The accident occurred at 9 o'clock
on the Beacon road near Longs pond

EFFECT OF DECISION
Nine Local Saloons Will Likely
Continue in Operation.

Attorneys are of the opinion that
the decision of the supreme court in
the Winnishiek county case, holding
that Withdrawals from Withdrawals
cannot be made in consent petitions,
does not affect the saloon situation
in Oskalooa for the present. While
the point at issue seems to be the
same in each case, it will be neces.
sary to carry the Mahaska county
case to the supreme court. Pending
a decision on the local case, the sa.
looms in Oskaloosa will continue to
operate-that is, nine of them will
The life of the other five now under
injunction, depends upon another is
sue that has not been ruled upon by
the supreme court as yet.
In Winnishiek county the supervi,
sors and the district court found 419
names which did not belong on the
general saloon consents secured in
that county. Many of those who with.
drew their signatures from the peti,
ton of consent, after it had been filed
with the county auditor, withdrew
their Withdrawals and asked that
their names be restored to the petit,
ton as being in favor of the sale of
liquors. The district court there held
that that could not be done. The
supreme court affirms that decision
The court holds that once a person s
name is withdrawn from a saloon
consent that it is off forever and can
not be placed back on after the con
sent has been filed with the county
auditor.
