LIQUOR SALE BAN
CLOSES REDLIGHT

Denver, Nov. l3-The fire and po-
lice boarf yesterday refused to issue
licenses for the sale of intox eauts to
IesoTts along Market street. There
were three of the larger houses at the
n.Orn'ng meeting of the board 10 Sc
cure the $500 permits to dispense
liquors. They were given positive as
suranee that they would not be allowed
10 serve intoxicalts in their houses,
and were informed that they had better
not be caught with Liquors stored in
their resorts.
Three pfoprietors attempted to show
the board yesterday that it is working
a hardship on the inmates of the houses
as wei as causing the women to seatte.
throughout the city. 1t was pointed
out that with the revenues received
from the sale of intoxicants cut of.
the women wi be forced to invade the
uptown districts in order to live.
The fire and police board failed to
see it that way. The board insists that
the same plan has been worked with
success in other cities, Philadelphia and
Kansas iCty, Mo-, for example, and
that they intended trying the plan here
for time anyway.
A legal test is threatened as A result
OF the closing order, but as the city
charter and state laws forbid the issu-
ing of licenses to disorderly houses, the
board could not grant such license
if it should see fit to do So
"The order stands as it is written, {"
said Chief O'Neii last night, "and 1t
will be carried ont to the letter. 1

DRYs PROUD OF RECENT VOTE


Denver, Nov. 13.-Prohib tion leaders
in Colorado are encouraged rather than
downeast by the results of the recent
election upon the statewide prohibi-
tion amendment. Although the amend
nent was defeated by large vote, the
prohibitionists find many sources of
graf fieation as the reports in various
counties are reported to the>u. Mrs.
Adrianna Hungerford, pres dent of the
Colorado Women's Christian Temper
anee Union, yesterday pointed TO sew
eral changes of sentiment and close re
suits as the Eeason for enthus asm On
the part of herself and followers.
In Chaffee county, both Buena Vista
and she county went for the .'dry'
cause, while Salida, the only other
large town, remained ''wet.' - Florence,
in Fremont county, voted 'dry' by a
majority of los. Lincoln county, in
which there are several towns like
Hugo with 3 decided sentiment in IA
WI VI thC ohiC VI "Chb NSt
by only one vote. The citizens of Ala
mosa, in Coneios county, declared in
favor of prohibition by majority OF
-, and those in Sedgwick, Sedgwick
county, by 81.
So far the prohibitionists have re
ceived only a few reports from their
representatives throughout the state
because of the delay in making til,
count. But they expect still more en-
couraging news when the results are re-
ceived from the remaining counties.
They have not obtained reports yet
from several "dry" counies such as
Logan, Yuma, Washington, Morgan
Bent and Prowers.
One element Of the campaign that is
. source Of satisfaction t. the prohib-
itonists is the fact that the opponents
of prohibition put chief emphasis upon
the home rule or local option phase Of
the question. The white ribboners
claim that large part of the opposi-
tion vote was east simply upon that
principle by persons who favor local
option, if liquor Is sold, but who may
on the direct prohibition question in
their own localities favor prohibition
entirely.
The battle is still on,' said Mrs.
Hungerford yesterday. "We are 20.

COUNTY ooAnl1ss1oNERs

The county board has been in se.-
sion all week, but the most of the TIM,
has been taken up with the examina-
ton of bills. The first day of the ses-
sion was almost completely taken up
by disagreement among the ranch-
men in the cattle creek and Spring
park sections over road which the
majority Thought should run across
McNulty ranch, but Pat said "No."
The matter was finally adjusted in \
sat 'sfactory manner and the road will
be built as at first planned.
Mr.. Salmon near New Castle object.
ed to county road being extended
across his ranch as he said it would
damage his orchard. This matter was
also adjusted satisfactorily.
There is considerable inquiry about
the county bonds which are to be rs-
funded according to the recent vote Of
the taxpayers, but no action was takcn
by the board.

There is no further question about
Congressman Browns reelection.
His majority can not be accurately

200.
The county court in Jefferson coun-
ty completed Saturday afternoon the
recount of the ballots between Con
gresham Brown and General Conley,
which was done at the request of
the latter. On the face Of the re
turns the vote showed Mr. Brown had
a majority of 1,409 in that county,
but the recount gave him 1854
change of IA votes.
Attorney Tracy l.. Jeffords, of Har-

date for Judge in this circuit, assur-
ed General Conley that Congressman
Brown would not have more than
LOO majority in Jefferson if the bal
lots were recounted. and believing
this to be true, the recount was ask

as General Conley's election to Con
