am not opposed to the proposed ordi-
nance. but | believe that the matter of
granting licenses should be placed in
the hands of a single individual, in
order to fix the responsibility for the
same"
Commissioner Reynolds believes
that the source of most of the present
difficulty centers around several sa-
looms that have not obeyed the law. He
believes that the licenses of several of
1lese places should be revoked and
if this L. done, : will go a long way
toward Improvement of the vice con-
ditions.
The ordinance proposed by Commits
sioner Reynolds at last Mondays meet
ing of the commission will come up
again at the next session. Mayor
Schriver objected to the consideration
OF the same at the last meeting be-
cause he had not had an opportunity
to investigate its provisions.
Legal TangIe.
In the discussion of the terms of the
proposed ordinance, some have sug-
gested that the word may" be sub
stituted for "shall'' in referring to the
granting of licenses. A legal tangle
may develop should the council refuse
to grant licenses where the mayor has
already accepted and approved of the
bonds An interecting situation may
develop.

b. SchoesseI met death. occurred Mon
day night in the Rock Island Southern
yards in the west end of the city.
Bernard Nigg emeyer. 1907 Fourth ave
nue.. fireman on the Rock Island
southern. returned from his days run
about 1880, leaving his engine in the
roundhouse and starting for his home.
Before he had gotten out of the yards
he was accosted by two boys about
u years of age, one of whom showed
a revolver under his nose and COM
manded him TO throw up his hands.
As il happened. Mr.. Niggemeyer did
not have a cent of money on his per
son and had even left his watch at
home when he left in the morning.
However. taken by surprise and acting
on impulse. he shot out his fist and
met the youthful bandit full on the
point of the jaw, knocking him down.
Instead of firing the companion of the
PROSTATE youth dubbed his revolver
and struck Mr.. Niggemeyer, hitting
him on the neck. but failing TO stun
him. The latter. deciding that the
vicinity was likely TO get too warm for
him. took to his heels and fled through
the yards, followed by a couple of
shots from the gun of the holdup who
was able to shoot. The other one was
still on the ground when Mr.. Nigge-
never last saw him and probably still
bears marks of the encounter.
