License Increased $20O.-The city
council yesterday morning decided to
add 5000 to the retail liquor dealers
license, 20 be effective July l, on
which date ,Ie number OF saloons in
Davenport must be reduced to los.
The present number is 136. Under
the new law applying the Moon bill
to special charter cities, the number
of saloons in Davenport in excess OF
one for every 1000 of population, must
be reduced one-third each year. Re-
ducing the present number 81 each
year will in three years leave the AZ
allowed by our population as shown
by the last census. OF course this
large reduction In number would mean
large loss OF revenue TO the city,
unless the license we're raised cor
respondingly. So the council decided
to add 5000 to the $500 which is col
lected under the mulct law, making
$500 In all The increase will prob
ably be collected quarterly, as is the
mulct tax The present annual bever-
are license will stand, making the
total charge $3.50.

NEW Plan OF AUDIT
IN POSTAL AFFAIRS
Postmaster General Orders
Change in the Management
of Financial interests.

What is techn cally known as "ad-
ministrative auditing" is to be again tried
in the Post Office Department. The
Postmaster General and Third Assistant
Postmaster General Dockery reached the
conclusion. after the recent survey" of
the department, that there is a way by
which the department can keep track
of its financial affairs and they have set
about to provide it. Postmaster General
Hitchcock. it Is said, tried to secure an
administrative audit for the department,
but was not successful.
The recent order of the Postmaster
General transferring to the Office of the
third assistant postmaster general the
accounts connected with the collection Of
post office box rents and key deposits,
which involve about 100000 a year.
now places under the third assistant
postmaster general the supervision of al
sources OF postal income. He already
has the supervision Of all disbursements.
With the cont oil of the two sets OF ac-
counts 1t Is expected, the department
will hereafter be able at any time to
tell approximately just where it stands.
Actual Audits Only.
Heretofore, since the method of book
keeping for the Post Office Department
was fixed by law and lodged solely in
the office of the auditor of the Post
Office Department. the only way, it Is
said, the department could tell the con-
dition Of It's financial affairs was by the
audit Of the auditor, which gave as re-
suits only those obtained from accounts
actually audited and did not take into
consideration outstanding Indebtedness
that could not be known to the auditor.
1t was because of this fact, 1t is said.
that a diffe ence of opinion has arisen
between the present and FORMER admin-
:stration OF the department as to whether
there was a surplus or deficit at the
close of the fiscal year ending June 30.
1911.
So far as the accounts actually audited
were concerned, it is declared. there was
surplus amounting to something more
than $219.OOO. But the milk In the
cocoanut" lay In the fact that there wa
large outstanding Indebtedness, whicn
urder existing law could not be paid
during the year. but had to go over to to
the next year. The same condition OF
affairs, it Is said, existed in the previous
fiscal year. and Postmaster Genera
Hitchcock, 1t Is claimed, considered tina,
the one Offset the other.
The situation in that respect. 1t Is un-
derstood. satisfied both the Postmaster
General and Gov. Dockery that. although
existing law does not provide system
for the Post Office Department Of keep,
kind was necessary. So that, without
Waiting for the sanction of law, the Post
master General, by his orders transferring

LIMITED SUFFRAGE
TO ILLINOIS WOMEN
Passage of Bill by Legislature
to Be Celebrated on
Large Scale:

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. June 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson. former Presidents Taft
and Roosevelt and the governor of
each state where equal suffrage pre-
walls have been invited by telegraph
to be present at women's jubilee to
be held here Friday night for the pur-
pose of celebrating the passage of the
bill yesterday granting limited suf-
f-age to the women Of Illinois.
The women are going ahead with
their plans for further enfranchise-
ment, it was announced today. A con-
stitutional convention Is one of these
and a number of schools of instruction
is another. The constitutional conven-
tion, 1t is expected. will enfranchise
women so that they may vote on every
proposition now decided by the bal
lots of the men.
instruction on Citizenship Lines.
The schools of instruction-of which
Chicago will have several-will hold
courses in. citizenship as we'll as prac-
tical lessons in voting by hand mark ed

offices. They may vote for assessors
and members of the board Of review.
They may not vote for governor. lieu
tenant governor other state officers,
members Of the legislature county or
district Judges. congressman or United
States senator's.
The bill gives as large measure of
suffrage to women as the constitution
permits the legis ature to grant. Women
cannot obtain complete suffrage in this
state without constitutional amend
Inent or a constitutional convention.
The total male vote of the state is ap-
proXimately 1.2OO.OOJ. and the enfran-

This new arrangement, 1t Is claimed

Under the partial reorganization of the
department by Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson, the third assistant postmaster
general now has jurisdiction over the
