BULL FIGHTS, CHEAP
BOOZE, main POINTS
These Will Take Up Time Of the
Congress in Mexico.
Especial to The Free Press

City of Mexico, April MANY
reforms are proposed by President
Nadero in his message to congress,
which convened in semi-annual ses
sion today. The more stringent
regulations and eventual abolition
of the gambling houses and drinking
establishments is favored by the
president, who also will seek per
mission from congress to prohibit
bull fighting. President Madero re
Gently attended a bull fight given
for charity, and this has led the
opponents of his reform measures te
impugn his sincerity, but it is prob
able that if Madero has his way the
| national sport of Mexico will have
to go.
Bill Has Been Prepared.
A bill has been prepared and viii
be introduced early in the session
opened today, having this end in
view. Whether sentiment in con
gress against bull fighting is strong
enough to bring about the enact
.ment Of the law is very doubtful.
Mexico has been a haven for pro
fessional gamblers ever since they
were driven from Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico, and already the
state legislature of Sonora has pass
ed an act prohibiting gambling
President MaderO will use his infiu
ence to have all the state enact
similar legislation.
Ban on Cheap Drinks.
President Madero does not favor
the absolute prohibition of the
liquor traffic, but asks for laws to
put the ban on the distillation OF
moscal and other cheap liquors, to
which the poems are much addicted
and which are in reality slow poi.
sons when used moderately, and
rapid pOisons when consumed in
large quantities.. The president
thinks the levying of prohibitive
tax on the growth of maguey plants,
from which moscal and tequila are
made, would accomplish the desired
end. The restriction of the liquor
trade and placing it on a higher
scale, putting all the low dens of
vice out of business, is what Presi-
dent Madero favors, although there
are many reformers in Mexico who
have come to favor absolute prohi-
bition of the manufacture or sale of
liquor.

terday noon from the twin cities
where he attended the annual meet
ing of the State Automobile associ-
alton. This was considered the
largest meeting that the association
ever held. Thirty-fve clubs were
represented, with a total member
ship of 2,473. Several new clubs
were taken in and other applica-
tons received The report of the
various officers, showed that the as
ISOLATION is in excellent condition
and much good work has been
done, especially in legislative way
and in agitating for good roads.
The GIidden Tour.
1t is practically settled, however,
that the Glidden tour will start at
indianapolis, Ind, and go through
to New Orleans, but an effort will
be made to secure the tour next
year through this part of the state.
The association is at present work
ing on touring system which will
enable autoists to travel over any
part of the state without getting
lost on the roads. The association
has been working on a new road
book for this year, but it was found
that a member of the st. Paul club
had copyrighted the, book and maps
of the roads. v Consequently the as
sociation can not use these maps in
their new book. ....1
Regarding Road Books.
The Minneapolis Automobile club,
however, has contracted for 1000
road books for the members of their
club. These are leather bound and
cost 81 each. At the suggestion of
Mr.. Hohmann of this city, the pres
ident of the state association will
take up the matter with the publish
ers of this book to see if cheaper
paper bound books can be provided
for the members of the Mankato
club. ..ai.
Membership Card.
The new membership cards will
be received in few days. Mr.. Hob
mann also took up the matter of
getting the American Mortorist more
regularly, as the Mankato members
have not been getting this publca-
ton right along. AS a result, it Is
hoped that every member will get
his magazine regularly after this.
Other matters of minor impor-
lance were taken up that will be
brought before the attention of the
Mankato Automobile club at it's next
meeting which will be called in the
near future. -.-.E

NORTH SIDE COUNCIL
PUTS IN BUSY NIGHT
Gould Pump Proves TO Be Topic
For Much Discussion.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Considerable business was taken
up at the first regular meeting of
the newly-elected village council of
North Mankato Saturday night, and
the aldermen did not get through
with their labors until midnight.
The question whether or not the
rouncil should accept the water
pump from the Gould company of
Chicago was the subject of much
discussion but it was finally decided
to instruct Village Recorder Louis
Larson to write the company that
the pump would not be accepted
until it is made to conform to the
contract
. Drop Fire Alarm System.
The council also decided to drop
the fire alarm system for this year.
Several inspections of fire alarm
systems were made the past year
but nothing further was done, and
the village fathers thought that the
matter had best be laid over until
next year
The motion to allow parties who de-
sire to tap the water mains was
carried, on condition that these
parties settle with the council when
the regular prices are fixed. Of
course they must make application
to the village recorder first to tap
the mains.
Fred Ehiers Appointed.
Fred Ehlers was appointed street
commissioner and superintendent of
water works for one year at salary
of $500 year to be paid as fol-
lows: $50 a month for the seven
sumner months and $50 month for
the five months. Another motion
was made and carried to order the
property owners to clear the streets
in front of their properties from
personal property. The motion was
made by George Fisher and carried.
A motion to notify the Peoples
laundry to raise it's chimney twenty
five feet, was carried. Complaint

the vicitity of the laundry that the
smoke is becoming. abominable. The
village recorder was Instructed to
notify the people who opened the
dixie along the Minnesota river to
have it filled in again.
Loan For General Fund.
1t was decided to reimburse Mr.
Marose for whatever amount he has
overpaid on the frontage tax. Village
Recorder Larson was authorized to
make loan of $500 for the general
fund. McLaurin e NOrthrOp were
granted a plumbers license and
their bond for $4,000 with the Ma
tional Surety company of st. Paul
was accepted
The memebers of the council talk
ed over matters about the crOsswalks
of North Mankato, and filling in
certain streets and roads, and also
discussed the business to be taken
up for the coming year. Street
Commissioner Ehler gave a rather
lengthy report about what should be
done on the streets for the coming
summer.
