cy is TO uphold defiance of the city
ordinances.
TO MEET TOMORROW.
The chairman Of the meeting stayed
till the end and then called for mo-
ton to adjourn. A call was framed for
a meeting tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock, and It is expected that the as
socistion will have its own attorneys
present.
The men who desire the support Of
the association declare that the mayor
has no right to revoke a license, and
that such power is like unto that of
the car Of Russia. They claim the
right to trial. The other element
state that they do not intend to mix
finger in It and carry the fight into
the courts. In other words, they up
hold the action Of the mayor.

GRAVES PERMITS
CHANGE OF VENUE

Judge e. C. Graves yesterday after
noon granted a change of venue to
A w. Billburg in the case in which
the city Is seeking to have the circuit
court enjoin the defendant from con-
tinuing to operate his saloon and chop
suey house on Twentieth street. At
torneys Kenworthy & Kenworthy and
John Looney for the defendant pre-
pared an affidavit to the effect that
they believed Judge Graves prejudiced
against them and asked that the hear
ing of the city's petition be given
into the hands of one of the other
judges of this city. The granting Of
the request means that either Judge
w. H. Gest or Judge F. D. Ramsay
will hear the petition. The date has
not been set but an attempt will be
made to get Judge Ramsay here by
Thursday so that he can hear both
the petition for Injunction and the
evidence in the quo warranto proceed
ings filed by the city against the same
defendant.
GETS ANOTHER CHANGE.
A. w. Billburg asked for a change
of venue this morning from the court
of Justice C. J, Schroeder where a
charge of gambling was preferred
against him subsequent to the raid
Oh his joint ten days ago. The case
was sent to the court of Justice w.
F. Schroeder, but he was indisposed
this morning and refused to take 1t.
The court Of Justice P. H. Wells be-
| ing next nearest, the transcripts were
taken back and changed accordingly.
Justice Wells was inclined to think
that Justice c. ]. Schroeder had no
right TO touch the case after he had
once sent transcripts from his court
and so took the matter under advise
ment till tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock when he will give his ultim
alum on the matter. Billburg Is out
on $500 bonds which he furnished.

ing Yesterday Favorable
to the City.
ARE OPPOSED TO BILLBURG
Latter Fails in Attempt TO Have As
ISOLATION Pay for Fight in
Courts.

Because the constitution Of the Rock
island Liquor Dealers association
says that the association shall not sup
port a member OF the association who is
guilty of violating the laws Of the city or
OF the state, the association, IL is con-
tended, met yesterday afternoon, and
though the meeting was not properly
called gave opinion as being against A q.
w Billburg and others whose licenses
have been revoked by the city officials,
and further sustained the city admin
istration in its stand on the matter. 1t
is understood that the meeting was
called by Billburg and his henchmen
for the purpose Of securing funds from
the association to fight his cases
wherein the city and state have
charges against him.
MATTER IL AIRED.
But for whatever purpose the meet
ing was called, the manner of the call
ing was against the constitution OF
the organization. The president did
not put his stamp OF authority on it
and It was not published properly
But those who gathered insisted thai
the matter for which it was convened
be aired at least.
There was a discussion, and though
the vote was not polled on the matter
the consensus OF opinion was ten tC
one in favor OF the city administra
ton. In other words, the association
gave Billburg and the others a blacl
eye by acting in accordance with tn,
rules Of the constitution, which say
that the wrongs and violations Of thu
saloon man shall not be upheld b.
the organization. Just as the meetinI
was about to break up, Billburg
with John Looney, his attor
ney. entered the Turner hall
where the meeting was held. Loone,
addressed the meeting. Before he ha,
finished, most OF the saloon men hat
gone. Eight remained. Those VIII,
went said this morning that they vii

One Charge Is Dismissed.

The charges of assault and battery
preferred against Ben Onelli by
Mrs. Theresa Toppmeyer was dis
missed in Magistrate c. ]. Smiths
court this afternoon while the charge
of disorderly conduct was continued
for hearing Thursday afternoon at
$50. Counsel for the defense on
the charge of assault said that from
evidence of both sides, it was an at
tempt at lovemaking rather than in
tent to do harm. There were no wit
nesses in the case and it was dis
missed.

siding on the Colona road about a

Florence Armstrong, year-and-arhalf
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie
Armstrong, 7G9 Fourth street, at 10
o'clock this morning. The child was
taken ill a week ago but till last
night it vas not suspected that she
was suffering with diphtheria when
it was learned that it had reached a
virulent stage. The first physician
there last evening believed that the
case had progressed too far to allow
the use of antitoxin while the second
who was called administered the drug.
Because Of the fact that the case was
not diagnosed as diphtheria the house
vas not quarantined until this morn
ing after notice was taken to DR.. G. G..
Craig, city health commissioner, by
Mrs. Barker of the West End Settle
ment.
/ WILL INVESTIGATE.
DR.. Craig is inclined to think that
the case is one for investigation mas
much as no report of it had been
made to him.
DOCTOR TELLS STORY.
The first doctor who was called In
this particular case says that he was
called last Thursday and then found
that the mother and a child, one OF
seven in the family, were suffering
from a very mild attack Of tonsilitis.
He detected a loose, white covering
over the throat and that he treated
and removed with cotton without caus.
ing any irritation or loss Of blood
That led him to think that all would
be we'll. He returned the next day
and mother and child were up and
about, apparently none the worse fol
the slight attack. Sunday he visited
the home and the baby was lying OF
the bed. It's face was turned toward
the pillows. The doctor thought tina
its breathing was heavy and asked
the mother to lift the child over. Blu
she said the heavy breathing was
caused by the child's position. The
doctor thought no more of the mat
ter.

At 1890 another doctor was called

family to remain in doors and no
allow any one in the home. In othe
words, they advised quarantine thong

With these facts from the phys
clans it is hardly probable that an
effort will be made to fix the blam
upon them. The presence of tn

the squalor of the home developed tn

THE DENVER TIMES.

The problem for all Denver and many
Coloradoans to solve Is what Is the Den
yer Times going to do. Many think tina,
the paper has reverted back to Tom Pat
terson. Others think that It is owned
by Evans. but no one seems to know
outside of those Immediately connected
with the paper. They will give out No
statement as to the owners but say that
some statement may be made soon as to
the ownership OF the Times.
What is bothering many more than the
ownership of the paper is what is GO
ing to be the future policy OF the pa
per. Some are Inclined to believe that
the Bull Moose party has been bidding
for the paper and that II II has not
bought It that II has perhaps secured II
for the Bull Moose interests.
In very short time It Will be deter
mined lust what course the paper will
take. Manager Patek says II Will be an
Independent paper but that does not nee
essarily mean any more. since many pa
pers these days claim to be independ-
ent
The News covers the Democratic field.
Tho Republican covers the Republican
field The Post takes up the independ-
ent territory. Now It is to be presumed
that the Times may go over to the Bun
Moose party. The progressive party has
been planning to put a daily In Denver
and this may prove Its opportunity.

CONFUSION IN DENVER POLITICS

Efforts have been made for some time
to bring about "a fusion between the pro-
sressiVe Democrats of Colorado and par
liculariy In Denver and the progressive
party but the Bull Moose have decided
to 30 1t alone. The say that Ammons
IS the worst enemy Roosevelt has in the
state and for that reason there is no
use to try to mix the two factions.
although both call themselves progres-
slves.
the Denver progressives of all parties
have been trying to get together, but
the more they try the further apart they
get. They planned to have county
ticket but that was failure. They
planned to get together on district at
torney and that proved n failure. 1t has
been found impossible for the progress
sive Democrats to work together, they
have In the field two candidates for the
district attorneys office.
Denver is one great big mixup. Since
the election last spring no Denver man
or woman knows where he or she be-
longs or where any one else belongs It
would seem that there Ia no use of a
party In Denver for no one knows where
the party line is and no one seems to
care very much whether there is any
line between the parties or not
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-09-12
TOO CHARITABLE

The Democratic leaders of the nation
are trying to make themselves and ev-
erybody else believe that the fight this
year is between Roosevelt and Taft. ''''
They insist that there is no race for
Wilson and that he will have no second.
They claim that the contest Is now to
determine whether Taft or Roosevelt
gets the more votes.
Those who have good memories will
recall that we heard just such talk In
1896 and two or three times since. Some
how the Democrats are in the habit OF
having more votes early In the campaign
than they need. They are very charita-
BILE people and they. when they have all
the votes the care for. begin to give
them away to the Republican party with
the result that they overdo the busl-
ness and on election day find that they
have given away about 100000 votes
that they should have kept for their owr
use.
One would think that this would get
old and that they would keep quite q
few in reserve for Just such occasions
but here the are at II again. Before
the election rolls around In November
they will have given to the progressive
party, the Debs party and the Repub
Iican party enough votes to elect Taf
and defeat Wilson. Then as usual they
will say that II the election had beer
held two months earlier they would have
won easily.

POLITICS BOILING IN NEW YORK

Trouble has begun over in New York
state Governor Wilson has finally de-
cided that Governor Dix must go and no
doubt that Governor Dix has decided
that Governor Wilson may go too.
The Republicans have been watching
for some time to see what would he the
result of the movement there The pro-
gressive Democrats of New York have
been forced Into the corner and can
oppose Dix for governor The prospect
i've Democratic president refused to take
hand until recently. In fact, he has
been forcer into the corner and can
stand out no longer without losing New
York state.
It is thought that Wilson will lose the
Empire state no matter what position he
takes. As II is now he will lose a large
part of the Democratic vote which will
go to Taft. Had he taken the other side
of the controversy he would have lost
to the progressive party.
IT Is Impossible to hold the Democrats
together. They have never been togeth-
er since Grover Cieveland's time. One
half Of New York Democrats are pro-
gressive and the other half ia OF the
most reactionary kind. The reactlonaries
generally control the party In that state
and also the milton.
