Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-11-16
COUNCIL DECIDES
AGAINST new BAR
Commission is Called Ipem 10 Inter"
pref Amendments to ~aEeen Drdt-
nance Passed IN 1913.
QUESTION INVOLVES PURCHASE
Officials Refuse to AIiow Transfer of
Licenses From Original Location
to Another.

The Rock island city council yester-
day was called upon to interpret the
amendments to the saloon ordinances
passed two years ago.
The question involved was whether
man could purchase saloon in the
west end Of the city and transfer the
license to building not used as sa-
loon in the business section of the city.
The commission ruled that the spirit
Of the amendments would be violated
and therefore would not approve the
proposal.
City Attorney j, K. Scott brought the
matter before the commission, stating
that a man had called at his Office ask
ing IL the commission would permit
him to make such move. The clause
which provides thai no new saloons
shall be licensed and that no saloon
building from which liquor has not
been sold during a period Of seven
months preceding the time Of appIica-
ton shall be licensed were taken into
consideration
/ Commissioner Rudgren argued that
from the standpoint Of fairness the
council should rule against the propo-
sition ffe said that should the men
secure the license in the saloon in The
west end and then transfer It TO some
other location, the owner Of the build
ing in the west end would probably
'stand a loss since the saloon there
could not be again licensed. This, he
said, might mean that the rental he
would receive FOR the building if it
were used for some other purpose
would be lower because some buildings
could bring 800 per month as saloons
and not be worth $25 per month for
iother purposes,

PRELIMINARY IN fOR0UER
CASE WILL BE HELD SO0I

So far as known, there are no new
developments in the Forgrer murder
case. Mrs. Forquer and James o'Don-
nell are still in the county Jail and
the time for their preliminary exami-
nation has not been set.
Yesterday District Attorney Powell
stated that the State was ready for
the examination and that the date viii
be fixed to suit the convenience of de
PENDANTS attorneys. Judge Robins, If
the firm Of Salter, Robins & Frame, at
tor neys for defendant, stated this
morning that the time would probably
be agreed upon this afternoon, but at
that time he was unaware of the fact
that District Attorney Powell left for
Lovelock this morning to spend the
day. 1t is considered probable, how
ever, that the preliminary will be com
meneed some time during the next
week or ten days.

Of Abel and made charges against
him before the state board of educa-

President Hendricks of the University
