Ordinance Against Sale of
RevOlvers Passed in Chi
cage May be Local Model
TO DEMAND POLICE PERMIT

The city of Chicago has pointed the
way for new progress in the fight
against gun men and members of the
Kenosha city council today are seek
ing copies of an ordinance passed by
the common council of Chicago on
Monday night which is declared to be
a model of "safety first" procedure
against the gun toters The ordinance
passed in Chicago prohibits the sale of
revolvers or knives Of dangerous nat
ure, without permit from the chief of
police and places heavy penalties for
violation of the law. For weeks Chi.
cago aldermen have been seeking some
measure that would put an end to the
rule of gun men in that city and finally
the ordinance to bar the sale of fire
arms in the city was passed under a
suspension of the rules. The members
of the Kenosha city council have con-
sidered the advisabihty of passing such
an ordinance in former years, but they
have been deferred from action on ac-
count of the alleged unconstitutionality
of such an ordinance The attorneys
of the city Of Chicago have held that
the ordinance as passed there does not
in any way violate any rights granted
under the constitution of the United
States. The ordinance in brief is
as follows:
1t is unlawful for any person or deal
er to sell or give away revolver,
bowie knife, or any other sort of dead
ly weapon to any person who has not
obtained a permit from the chief of
police
Persons or dealers desiring to sell
firearms must pay an annual license fee
of $25.
Every dealer, firm, or corporation
engaged in the business of selling fire.
arms must submit list of purchasers
of firearms to the chief Of police every
day, giving the number of the permit
obtained by the purchaser, number of
the weapon, name of purchaser, his adj
dress, age, description of weapon, for
what purpose it is to be used, and
the price.
The mayor may revoke the license of
any dealer violating the ordinance.
Each person who appears before the
chief of police for a permit must bring
recommendation from two taxpayers
residing IL the city.
The chief of police shall refuse per
mits to all persons convicted of any
crime and to all minors. A fee of 81
will be charged for each permit.
1t is unlawful for any dealer to ex-
hibit for sale in show cases or win
dows, on counters, or in any public
manner revolvers, daggers, brass or
iron knuckles, or billies, or to display
posters or cartoons suggesting the sale
Of such weapons.
Any dealer violating the ordinance
is liable to fine of from $50 to 5000.

North End of Main Sewer
For North Side Is Turned
Over to City Saturday.
.EMPTIES SEWAGE into RIVER

The north end of the new main sew
er extending from the north end Of
Racine avenue to the creek, is now com
pleted and turned over to the city and
sewers leading from between thirty
and forty houses along the line of the
sewer have been connected with it.
The question that is now confronting
the members of the sewer committee is
to find an outlet for the big sewer.
At the present time it is emptying
into the Pike river, but already objec-
lions are being made against this out
let and it is expected that property
owners along the route of the river
will file an early protest with the coun-
ell demanding that some other outlet
be found for the sewer.
The addition of the sewage from
forty homes to the great amount of
sewage that has been poured into the
creek for years will probably not add
greatly to the pollution of the river,
but the property owners have for years
been fighting pollution of the river and
it is expected that the coming of this
new sewer will be the straw that
breaks the camel s back The outlet
into the river was designed only as
temporary outlet and plans have all
ready been made for the construction
of an intercepting sewer which will
take the flow from this and other
sewers and carry it to the lake.
Many setbacks have come to the plan
for the proposed sewer in the river
and it is not at all certain that this
sewer will be completed during the
present year.
City Attorney John C. Slater and
Engineer Brennan have been instruct
ed to make an effort to secure ease
ments for sewer along the banks Of
the river, but some of the property
owners have shown no willingness to
meet this demand of the city. In this
connection the sewer committee has
raised the question of the title of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company
to some of the property at the corner
OF Grand and Ashland avenues and the
city attorney is now making an inves-
tigation of this title The Wisconsin
Gas and Electric Company has declined
to give the city an easement for the
building of the sewer through this
property. The sewer committee has
not shown its hand, but it is declared
that the committee has some reason
to believe that the title of the com
pany to the property in question is not
any to clear.
With protest from property owners
against the emptying of any more sew
age into the river it is possible that
the aldermen will be forced to build
the intercepting sewer and that the
work will be at least started before
the end Of the present year. The plans
for the proposed sewer would make it
possible to have it take all the sew
age now being poured into the river.

MRS. CANNON SEEKS
$32,357 FROM BANK
Claims She Signed Paper
Establishing Fund
"Under Duress"

Mrs. Rose Johns-Cannon. formerly OF
Birmingham, but now of St. Louis has
filed suit in the chancery court against
the Birmingham Trust and Savings COM
pany and A. w. Smith. seeking TO secure
an accounting and to secure a judgment
for s32, $3.50, which is now held in trust
by the bank, claiming that the money be-
longs to her in equity.
The bill filed in the chancery court re-
cites the fact that a certain instrument
was drawn up by attorneys of the bank
and signed by Llewellyn W. Johns. the
complsinant's former, husband and herself
placing the above sum or money in the
bank to be held IN trust for certain pur-
poses which were set out in the instru-
ment, which further provided that after
the death of l.. w. Johns and Mrs. Rosa
Johns, the returns from the investment
OF the above sum should go to fund to
be known as the Llewellen and Rosa
Johns memorial fund, which was to be
used for the support. care and main
tenance of orphan children, INDECENT peo-
pie. needy old people, injured miners and
their dependents.
The instrument referred to was signed
by L. w. Johns, Mrs. Rosa Johns and A.
w. Smith as president of the bank and
was witnessed by two bank officials.
Mrs. Cannon sets out the fact that at
the time she signed the bill she was un-
learned in legal matters: that It was
done without the advice of counsel, and
that 1t was without a knowledge of her
legal rights. The allegation is also made
at the time the instrument was signed
strained relations existed between herself
and former husband, and that she signed
the paper under duress. Allen & Bell

BRYAN DISCUSSES
PRESIDENTS POLICY
TOWARD BUSINESS

New York, January 2e.-President Will
sons policy toward business and his pro-
posed legislation affecting trusts prom
ise lower cost of living at home and
Increased international trade, William
j. Brayan, Secretary of State, declared
in address before the American Ash
attic society here tonight. Secretary
Bryan discussed the administration at
utude toward foreign commerce as re-
Elected by the tariff and currency re-
form measures and it's policies toward
private monopoly and the Chinese loan
question. Abiding to the government
proposed regulation of trusts and the
probable effect. Mr.. Bryan said:
THE President has outlined reform
whose influence cannot be bounded by
national lines. He has declared war on
private monopoly and this means the in
vestment of capital that has hitherto
been frightened away from industrial
fields. If the new policy results in a
reduction in the size of corporations
that have become overgrown, it VIII
mean a larger number of Independent
competing enterprises, and this compe-
tition will mean a better article at
lower price.
monopolzaton has not necessarily re-
suited in the restriction of exports, for
the maintenance of abnormally high
prices at home tend to prevent eXporta-
tion, the manufacturers fearing that
reduction of price abroad might result
in the loss of an advantage enjoyed at
home. In proportion as industries rest
upon their own merits rather than upon
legislative favor. just in that proportion
will they be strengthened for success
full contest with competitive industries
throughout the world.
