Intended For Saloon-Fresh
Fight Is Certain

A large card in the vacant building
at No SO Clifford-st.. makes the AN
nouncement that the place will soon
be opened as a pool-room and sporting
headquarters, at which all sporting
events, including baseball, horse
races. prize fights, etc, will be posted.
Already the y VIC A., and the -wo-
men who put up such a spirited fight
and prevented the establishment OF a
saloon there by Levi eottington, have
taken steps to prevent the opning OF
a pool room. 1t is said the pool room
will be opened by Jack Farrell, who
Mr.. Cottington says was to operate
the saloon in case he was granted a
license.
Mrs. Alexis G. Angel. who led in
the fight against the saloon, will seek
legal advice as 10 the best methods
OF preventing a pool-room being open

Anything You Feel Like Doing
Except Using Gun Goes"
Prosecutor Tells Victims
MORE WARRANTS ISSUED
Planned To Arrest Five Sharks
During the Day-Campaign
Goes Merrily On
MORE WARRANTS ISSUED

The first concrete evidence OF re-
suits from the campaign or Prosecutor
Shepherd against the loan sharks
came, Monday morning, when one OF
the victims reported that the company
he had been dealing with had accepted
settlement suggested by the prose-
cutor. The victim had paid the shark
a large amount In interest and the
loan called for great deal more, for
interest and principal. Mr.. Shepherd
advised him, Saturday, to tender the
company just enough TO make up the
principal, adding that no court on
earth could compel the payment OF
the interest, which was held to be at
an illegal rate. The company gladly
accepted the settlement, the victim
reported.
That's some satisfaction, at least" /"
the prosecutor said triumphantly, as
he received the report ut shows
that the sharks are beginning TO see
that they are doing an illegal busi-
ness, and tnat they are realizing that
their victims nave some rights. only
hope that more OF them will follow the
example of the one who has seen fit
TO settle as this office has recommend
ed"
DO you think that the law under
which you are proceeding against the
companies is constitutional?' Mr..
Shepherd was asked by The Times.
Il don't know he replied "Mr.
Hunt, whom the defendants have re-
trained TO look after their interests,
says 1t is not constitutional, and, Ju
know, Mr.. Hunt is some shrewd law
yer. However, we are going to give
them the fight OF their lives. If we
can't get them on the law in question,
we probably can on another line OF
action which Mr.. Keidan, the assist
ant, who is working with me in t.iIs
matter, and myself have resolved to
try
What is the new method you have
planned to use?" Mr.. Shepherd was
asked.
That is a secret as yet he an
swered. 1T is too early for me TO
divulge the nature of our new scheme.
But we are convinced that it will
work to our satisfaction. and that Is
all care to say just now"
Five more warrants, as follows,
were issued by Police Justice Stein
Monday morning against alleged loan
sharks on charges Of violating the
laws governing the loaning Of money:
William Downey, No. 81 Fourteenth

There was no let-up, Monday, to

tcr's Office, a large number having
gathered long before he arrived for
the morning work. 1t was the usual

day -BreSsman- Is a member OF

garbage fund, and he declared. that he
would advocate the use OF the land
for such purpose. 1t would be a
good location. he thought, for the in.
cinerating plant the department OF
public works has asked for. Estlma-
tor Barnett agreed with him.
THAT is about the only thing the
property is good for" continued Esti.
mator Bressman. 1T certainly is not
desirable for a park, for We have
Clark park close by.
81 do not believe in spending lot
Of money In building sea wall
there" said Estimator Barnett, "and
that's what we've got to do IL the
property IL to be used for park pur
poses. I agree with Estimator Bress
man that it's a good site for gar
bage works"
This is the property purchased by
the city at the earnest solicitation OF
Mayor Thompson. In fact, the mayor
himself bought the property and then
persuaded the city 10 take IL off his
handc for park purposes. There has
been considerable discussion among
the aldermen over the naming of the

Relative Strength of Each Side
Is Expected To Be Re

FORCES ARE LINING UP
From a statf Correspondent.


LANSING, Mich, March 4.-This
Is lust before the battle.
The legislature will convene at
this evening. The senate and house
will both take up the administration
primary bill I'm committee or the
whole tomorrow afternoon. Legisla-
tors are returning to their posts. OPP
posing forces are lining up for the
fray, and tomorrow is expected to re-
veal the relative strength In the
primary question.
Recent developments have indi-
Gated a. somewhat swapping OF
strength with an evident net gain
for the administration program. Sem
ator Michael Moriarty, who has been
an ardent admirer OF the immediate
bill, has heard from home" and has
turned a complete backward summer
sanlt that has landed him In the
rank of the ants. On the other hand
Senator Charles +. Cartier, OF the
Manistee country, who has been
perched on the top Of the fence, has
also heard from home" and conse-
quently has tumbled into the primary
pasture.
Senator Albert G. Kingman. or
Branch, Is said to have been heard
from to the effect that he would sup
port the administration measure
Senator Otto Fowle, of the 500, he
governors home town, made his nrst
appearance during the extra session
this morning, and will vote for the ad.
ministration bill.
THAT Is the reason | am going to
vote for the primary" Senator Car
Tier remarked to The Times CORES
pondent this morning, as he pointed
TO bundle of letters at his desk. The
senator has delayed his decision to
find out the will of his constituency
and as result of sending out letter
OF inquiry has received about 100 re-
plies favorable TO the immediate pri.
mary bill. Only one, he said, nad
been unfavorable and that was from
n Roosevelt man.
Senator Moriarty was asked why he
had changed his mind and his reply
was to the effect that his people had
compelled him 10. He was still In
favor OF the proposition but felt Il his
duy to obey the wflf Of his constitu-
onts. He had a bundle OF letters and
kilograms and estimated that he had
heard from 500 people. FERRIS
