hours and permitting women of
questionable repute to frequent their
saloons.
The special committee has introdu-
ced two bills designed to provide
against the evils which it found to
exist. One of these grants to every
municipality the power to regulate
every sale of intoxicants, both whole
sale and retail, within its borders.
The committee found that under ex-
isting statutes municipalities have no
authority either to regulate or license
wholesaling. The present condition
permits unjust competition against
retailers.
The second bill prohibits anyone en-
gagged in manufacturing, jobbing or
wholesaling liquors from being direct
ly or indirectly interested in the retail
business. Leasing of buildings owned
in fee simple by manufacturers or
wholesalers is permitted but the lease
must be on a cash basis and without
any other agreement. A fine of $500
to $1,000 for violation of the act is
provided.
The Nelson bill proposing consti-
tutional amendment giving women the
right of franchise on liquor questions
was recommended for passage by the
senate elections committee after it had
been extended to include voting on
officers of towns and villages of
fourth-class, where the election of
officers is a practical determination
of the liquor question.

FINDINGS OF THE
PROBERS.

Of the 814 saloons in the twin
cities 712 are either owned or
controlled by brewing compan-
les. 428 of the 7I2 saloon build
ings being owned by the brew
ing companies.
Forty per cent OF the hquor
licenses issued in Minneapolis
are paid for by brewery COM
PAW checks and from 90 to IS
per cent in ST. Paul.
Breweries encourage and pro-
tect blind pigs by delivering to
and supplying them with beer
and placing on deposit a fund OF
$1,000 to pay fines imposed.
A federal liquor license found
in unlicensed drinking places
was paid for by brewing COM
pany and claimed by it.
Property used for resorts is
owned by brewing companies,
and the tenants are supplied
with liquor by the companies.
Brewing companies protect
resorts by signing bail bonds OF
persons arrested in them.
Brewery companies are unduly
active in politics and have die
tated city affairs.

Secretary Lane Was Former
Good enplar

Los Angeles, CAL, March.-Frank-
lin K. Lane, President Wilson's secre-
tary of the interior, records of thirty
years ago show, was Good Templar
and in favor of Prohibition. In 1883
he was closely associated with Cap
tain A. d. Woods, one of the lead
ing champions of Prohibition on the
Pacific coast.
Woods at that time was editor of
the Rescue, now the California Voice,
and Lane was his assistant and bust
ness manager. They worked for
Good Templary and Prohibition
through the Prohibition party. Mr..
Lane, however, held no state office in
Templary. 1t is learned that he help
ed to organize the Prohibition party III
California in 1882.
In 1902 George c. Pardee defeated
Lane, who was Democratic candidate
for governor, and in 1906 many Re-
publicans admitted that if it had not
been that they were in control of
counting the ballots four years pre-
viously, Lane would have been elected.

ST Paul. Mimi, March.-Ihat brew
ing companies in Minnesota encour-
age and protect blind pigs and dis
orderly houses, and that at least 7l2
of the SIA licensed saloons in st, Paul
and Minneapolis are either owned
outright or controlled by the same
brewing companies is the statement
Of the special senate committee, APP
pointed at the special session OF the
legislature, last June, to investigate
alleged brewery ownership OF saloons.
The report has been given to the
senate.
AT least 418 of the buildings used
for saloons in the two cities are owned
and controlled by the companies, says
the report. The fixtures OF the re-
naming 2o4 are owned or mortgaged
by the brewing companies, it is stated,
and in Minneapolis, three brewing
companies owned 20 saloon buildings.
The license fees also are often paid
bv the brewers, the committee found,
and agents for the companies nearly
always appear when applications for
license are being considered by the
city councils. Often four, FIVE or as
MANY as twenty-five licenses are paid
for by one check, it is stated.
BLIND PIGS PROTECTED.
"The sale and disposal of intoxi-
eating liquors in so-called unlicensed
drinking places, blind pigs and houses
of ill-fame, are and have been carried
on extensively" says the committee
report, "and in this connection it was
ascertained that brewing companies
frequently encourage and protect blind
pigs by delivering to and supplying

fines imposed; that by system of
compromising their deliverymen on
commission basis, blind pigs are in
creased. Frequently places known as
blind pigs or disorderly houses are
often located in the residence parts of
the cities; that young girls, sixteen
years of age and upward, often fire.
quent such places and remain there
all night; that in the business portion
of the city blind pigs are found mostly
over saloons; that in the prosecution
of blind pig cases an agent of the
brewing company was present with
the defendant.
st appears that property owned by
brewing companies was used for i'm
proper purposes, receiving monthly
rent therefor and supplying the same
with beer by their brewery wagons,
and that the management of such
places was notified of threatened ar
rest or police interference and, further,
it was shown that disorderly houses
were assisted and protected to the
extent that officers of brewing COM
pany, to-wit, the secretary thereof,
signed from fifteen to twenty bail
bonds given by persons arrested in
raids made on houses of prostitution.
Your committee also found, and
the evidence shows, that the agents
and officers of the brewing companies
have generally interested themselves
in behalf of their companies in city
elections and have interfered with and
sought to influence and control the
election of city aldermen and in other
respects have successfully dictated
city affairs relating to the manage
ment and regulation of the liquor
traffic

much of what we have said re-
garding the blind pig, may also be said
regarding disorderly houses. That
brewing companies let buildings for
improper purposes, furnish beer to
such places and protect the inmates
thereof in time of prosecution by the
state, is undoubtedly true indictment
against the brewing business. Dis
orderly houses would not be so many
and would not flourish as they do
were it not for their connection with
the liquor traffic"
The committee relates that it was
stopped from taking testimony by
decision of the Hennepin county court,
that a body appointed only by one
body of the legislature could not st
after the legislature adjourned, but
believes the testimony taken before
the decision was rendered was suffi-
cient to establish the facts reported.
The committee is of the opinion that
