TO CLOSE SALOON-CAFE

City Attorney ]. F. Witter today
filed a petition before Judge W. II.
Gest in the circuit court asking the
court TO issue an injunction direct
ed against A. w. Billburg and en-
Joining him from operating the cafe
and saloon at 223 and 225 Twen-
tieth street. The petition will prob
ably be heard Monday afternoon at
which time the court will either
cause the writ to issue or refuse as
the case may be.
The bill on behalf OF the people
sets forth that Billburg is and has
been for some time past, operating
Jointly a saloon, cafe and gambling
joint. Because OF his threats to defy
the city administration to Dust him,
the assistance OF the circuit court
has been sought.
DEFIEs THE CITY.
Billburg was refused a saloon il
cense in November and the premises
we're turned over TO Harvey G. Mer-
rift, It being understood that Bill
burg was to have no further interest
in the place. At the same time the
city administration issued an order
forbidding the running of cafes in
connection with saloons. The bill
alleges that Billburg has not only
retained his interest in the saloon
but has a door between the cafe and
barroom and sells beer and whisky
in the cafe which is a harbor and
meeting place for the denizens OF
the redlight district
The petition contains an affidavit
from one w. E. Henderson to the eff
feet that on numerous occasions ht

MANDAMUS CASE FOR SATURDAY
SUIT MAY LEAD TO DECISION or THE VOTES IN THIRD WARD
 BALLOT BOX.
Rhine Will Ask that Court Order tn, Judges to Certify the Votes Cast
 in Recent School Election.

The question of really who was elected school director last Saturday, should the votes in the Third ward ballot box have been counted, may be answered in circuit court next Satur- day when Dr. A. B. Rhine is heard on mandamus suit.
 Under the summary of the vote, minus the 52 votes in the Third ward, which were not certified by the cleo l ticn judges, and therefore not counted, Sam P. McKeehan was 12 votes ahead of Dr. A. B. Rhine.
 The question as to which of these shall hold the office may never be contested, if a contest is found to prove too costly, as there is no em- olument in the office, and therefore little incentive to take up costly court action, but Dr. Rhine is anxious to have all the votes counted as cast. t0 ascertain if he was one of tke choices of the whole of the people on last Saturday.
 The judges in the Third ward closed the polls there about 2:20 o'clock in the afternoon, when vote's insisted on voting pink slip tick ct, which contained the names of Rhine and E F. Klein. It is admit ted that there is no official ticket, and in all the other voting precincts the pink slip" was permitted to be voted by all who cared to vote it,
 In the Third ward an arbitrary stand was taken against it, and much controversy resulted, when the judges closed up the box and took it to the clerks office at the court house, where it was deposited. It contained 52 votes Before County Clerk Mooney certified out the election of Williams and McKeehan he required k. w. Searcy and Charles Goslee, two of the election judges, to declare whether they would complete the work of election judges and canvass the votes in the Third ward box. Both declared they would not Then Clerk Mooney, on application of Williams and McKeehan, issued the certificates of election minus the Third ward box which was in keeping with his duties as defined in the statutes. when the Third ward returns were not can yassed
 In brief. the county clerk had no authority to go into the ballots and see who they were voted for, his only authority being to issue the election certificates from the returns made by the election judges, and as the cleo tion judges refused to make re- turn he issued the election certlfi- cates.
 The case has attracted much inter- est, since it is the belief of many that Dr. Rhine carried the Third ward, and since he was only 12 votes be- hind McKeehan in the general sum mary, if the Third ward was counted he might be shown to have been elect ed by a small majority Others, how ever, believe that MaKeehan will hold his own in that voting precinct, which would still give him the office.
 The case in circuit court will at- tract much attention Attorneys Les lie. Lyons and Ryan will represent Dr. Rhine in the case, and it is be- neved Prosecuting Attorney Wood VIII look after the ether side.

BABY FOUND DEAD
IN CRIB; MOTHER
HAD PREMONITION

Kept awake all night by premonition
that something was wrong with her
baby, Mrs. Philip Hurter, of 1O2 West
Baker street, dozed early this morning.
When she awoke she found Charlie Hur-
ter, her infant son, dead.
The child, who was year and a half
old, had not been we'll for several days
and Sunday a doctor was called In. He
did not consider the illness serious.
Last night, though the boy apparently
had recovered, Mrs. Hurter could not
sleep. Throughout the night she went
to his crib to see that all was well. Early
in the morning, feeling that her alarm
was groundless, she dropped off to sleep.
She awoke about 4 o'clock and again went
to the crib. The child was cold. She
hurriedly telephoned q doctor. When he
arrived he pronounced the baby dead.
The body was taken to Bloomfield s
chapel The funeral will take place to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock at Oak

Complete Collapse of
Peace Plans Near

CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. GA
complete collapse of the peace nego-
latlons between the Bulgarians and
the Turks was threatened today be-
cause OF the demands Of the Balkan
plenipotentiaries for the surrender of
Adrianople. 1t was admitted here that
resumption of hostilities was immi-
nent, as the armistice concluded by the
oelligerents making provision for such
contingency.
In answer to the Turks declaration
that they would never surrender
Adrianople, the Bulgars are reported
to have answered that unless a salts
factory answer was received by tomor-
row night the allies would resume the
offensive.
Believing resumption of fighting in
evltable, Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha
and Nazim Pasha, the minister of war,
are preparing for active operations in
the field, There We're indications to-
day that the Turks are contemplating
an attack to recapture Salonika from
the allies. Armed transports are being
put in commission here for the move
ment Of an airy. However, it is unlike
ly that transport fleet will try to run
the blockade of a Greek war fleet, ex-
cept as a last desperate effort.
General Savoff, the Bulgarian COM
mander-in- chief; General Nazim Pa
sha, the Turkish commissioner. and
their four sub commanders met again
today near Chatalja for a continuation
of the negotiations. These took place
in pavilion about which was drawn a
heavy guard of soldiers.
Both Sides Shift Positions.
Although neither side is owing rein
forcementB to the Chatalja zones, both
Bulgars and Turks are shifting the
positions of their armies. The Turks
now have two square lines of defense
between the ChatalJa outer works and
this city proper. The Bulgars have
withdrawn from their old camps for
the double purpose of escaping cholera
and to gain strategic advantages.
Couriers from the front said that
there was no firing along the lines to-
day.
The Porte is undoubtedly taking
heart from various circumstances which
are initiating in favor of Turkey. OF
these the most important are the pos
sibility Of Austria declaring war on
Servia and the outbreak OF cholera in
the Bulgarian lines. The setbcak Of
the Bulgars in the early 7ghting at
Chatal1a has also proved a factor upon
which the Ottoman plenipotentiaries
are basing arguments in the negotia-
tons.
The flood OF political arrests has been
resumed following discovery of bomb
plot said to have been directed against
Sultan Mohammed v and the grand
vizier by radical Young Turks, who
charge the government with betraying
the country.
