ORDINANCE REGULATING
ACTIONS OF DRINKERS

There is trouble in store for the
man who buys his booze in the bottle
and takes It around the corner
TO qunech his thirst. Under a
Law passed by the council II will cost
at least s25 TO take drink in the
public places in the city such as pic
ture shows. skating rinks, depots,
etc, TO which the general public is
invited. No more will the upturned
bottle be allowed 10 coo and gurgle in
half-hidden Railways and the only
safe way will be 10 take the liquid
refreshment over the bar or carry II
far OF In the woods and behind the
shelter OF some kindly bush drink It
away from the gaze Of the lynx-eyed
cop
The ordinance as introduced pro-
ylded for a fine OF from s5 TO 500,
but so popular was the measure with
the council that at the suggestion Of
Councilman Eyerton the figures were
raised TO s25 and $50. Clark re-
marked that capital punishment
might be provided for the second Of
fense, and the mayors side reference
to warehouses was the signal for a
lively passage at arms between his
honor and the fighting Third ward
er this being the only ripple to dis
turb an otherwise peaceable session
Of the municipal legislature. The
measure passed with the votes Of the
entire body recorded In It's favor.
Another proposed new ordinance,
introduced and read first time Tues
day night, requires the closing Of all
billiard and pool halls at 1890
o'clock at night, this being the same
hour as that fixed for the closing OF
the saloons
The city attorney was also instruct
ed TO draft an ordinance to make II
mlsdemeanor for minors, or drink
ers who have been placed on the
Slwash' list, to enter saloons. This
ordinance Is intended to put some Of
the responsibility for violation of the
law upon the drInker It was suggest
ed, however that minors who offer
testimony against saloon men should
be exempted from prosecution them
selves otherwise II would be lmpos-
slble to get testimony against the

Rice Stealing Coolies.

Among Chinese coolies favored
method of stealing rice is to lean up
against pile of sacks and stick a tin
tube through the sacking, the rice,
which is dry. flowing naturally through
the tube into the coolies clothing
Flour is also stolen in this manner, and
a common punishment in this case is to
let the thief obtain a large quantity
and then pour water into his clothing,

ARCHB0LD PROCEEDINGS
TAKE TINE OF SENATE

WASHINGTON, Jan 9.-When
the impeachment trial of Judge
Robert W. Archbold of the United
States court of commerce, charged
with misconduct, was resumed to-
day in the senate, sentiment seemed
to favor an early vote on the dispo-
sition of the case. AS the trial nears
a close senator's disposed to be
friendly toward the accused jurist
expressed little hope that sufficient
votes will be cast to prevent a ver-
dict against him. Judge Archbold
sat unmoved throughout the argu-
ments of the house prosecutors. 1t
was expected that Archbolds attor-
neys would take the floor late today
to answer the charges against him
and to sum up his defense. About
two days more of argument remain,
the closing speeches to be made by
the house prosecutors.
1t was suggested today that the
senate might remove Archbold from
office without enforcing the second
part of the impeachment penalty
disqualification for office-holding-
but indications were that the full
penalty would be imposed. The lat
est poll of the senate showed that
not more than Is members would
vote for Archbold.

unusual energy.
Reaching the end of the row, there
