was wholly an incident to the running
of the club he conceived the spirit OF
the law had been conformed with.

the action was taken because of the
agitation against locker clubs, and

Two More Clubs Approved.
City officials, however, took the
optimistic view at the meeting of the
Police Committee Thursday afternoon
that the liberal policy of the Council
would not be interfered with, and
licenses for two more clubs, the Cen
trail and the Beavers, were acted upon
favorably.
These are old clubs, but their ap-
plications for renewal OF permits had
been held up because of the charge
that their managers had been con-
victed of violating the prohibition
law.
The Franklin Club, new one, was
unanimously disapproved.

races as to show that he could go
