needs shall be observed. These needs
extend not only to sanitation and safe

adaptation Of buildings to their u r

places. creation of zones for industry,
business or residence and prohibition
or regulation Of unsightly objects.
1.-THE courts have chosen to limit the
police powers to health and safety on
the ground that a more extensive ap-
plication would violate the constitu-
ton both as to taking without compen-
sation and without due course Of law.
Yet no one a doubt that the city of
the future will need to enforce har-
mony of. buildings, the setting back of
buildings in certain areas, the limita-
ton of heights and to some extent the
segregation of residential, business and
Industrial structures.
1.-THE community cannot carry out
any worthy plan If a private owner
can build any shape anywhere and for
any purpose. The city architect in
many foreign cities has the power to
disapprove the plans of unsuitable and
inharmonious buildings. Modern Ger

Dusseldorf have planned and restricted

CHAMPION SNIPE
HUNTER is FOUND
Prominent Young Man Recently
Taught Fine Points of In
teresting Diversion.

Freddie Burgh, a prominent young
advertising man of this city. is gain
ing prowess as a snipe hunter, al
though on his first trial he caught
nary a snipe. The scene of his initial
lesson in this interesting pastime was
laid at Driffill's camp on Rock river
Two well known experienced hunters
acted as teachers. The party proceed
ed TO a point about a mile south Of
the camp. Freddie was then told TO
sit beneath a tree with a sack and Ian
tern in his hand. while the rest of the
party beat the snipe out of the bushes.
He held the sack open in the proper
manner while the rest of the party
started through the brush, beating the
bushes left and right with poles.
Freddie sat by the tree playing the
'watchful waiting" stunt from O'Clock
until midnight. but not a single snipe
came into the waiting sack. The mid
night dew and chill damped his hunt
ing aspirations, and he beat 1t back
TO the camp in disgust only TO find that
the rest or the snipe party had been
olling about in comfortable camp
chairs for the past three hours. Snuff.

BY unanimous vote, the much dis

ed by the city commission yesterday
afternoon. II is now ready for formal
adoption next Monday and it is
thought there will be no further
changes in its provisions.
There was but one feature that
caused comment yesterday afternoon
and that was the latter part of section
seven. providing that during the time
saloons are closed, all screens and
shades at cafes selling liquor, be re-
moved.
i am opposed to that provision
announced Mayor Schriver. Il do not
believe that feature can be legally en-
forced. II cafes made il their eXclus-

gren. IF there is going to be a dis
cussion over the terms OF the ordi-
nance, insist that we vote on it, sec
ton by section"
I think the same provision relative
TO the saloon when open. ought to APP
ply TO the cafe" said Commissioner
Hart The commission has decided
in favor of retaining screens while
dram shops are open for business and
the same regulation ought to govern
the cafes"
Although l am opposed to this sec
tion, / favor the ordinance as a whole

Schriver.

as read. all of the commissioners vot-
ing for IL.

Extra Suit Specials

Among the saloons closed last fall
was that of Thede & Peterson, 2102
Third avenue, the license being can
celled following a fight between the
owners, in room over the thirst en-
porium, concerning a division of the
profits. An attempt was made later to
open the place but the council re-
fused to grant a permit for the re-
mainder of the term. However, yester-
day Fred McCullom, who has been
operating a saloon in the town of
Milan, which recently went dry, filed
an application for a license at that
location and it was granted by unani-
nous vote.
While the commission had on its
fighting toys. it decided not TO grant
Alois Duyvejonck, a permit to operate
at 800 Fifth street. Duyvenjonck's
license was taken away from him last
fall. following the death of Harrison
Stapleton. whose demise, it was al
legged at the time, was due to injuries
which he received in being pushed out
OF the place. Alois now wants to open
up again. but the idea did not seem to
be favorably received by the city dads.
a serious crimp was also put in the
aspirations of Alfred fonda, who
made application for a permit at 300
Fourth street. w. A. Pannell, who has
been in business at that location. has
decided to quit, it is said. After inter-
viewing several of the commissioners
and finding adverse sentiment, Mr..
fonda developed a pronounced case of
"coldfeetis" and withdrew his re-
quest.
