Twenty minutes after the S4-year-

in the Fairmont opera house and an

Meeker of st. Louis, who had made
a vigorous speech in opposition to
prohibition, the aged temperance
worker was dead at the home OF
George Murray, his friend. The ex-
element of the meeting had been too
much. The elders" heart could
not bear the strain.
Congressman-elect Meeker spoke
to a crowded house. He attacked
temperance agitation and criticized
the churches. Placing a $40 bill in
a Bible he offered to give the Bible
and the money to anybody in the
audience who would point to a pas
sage in the Bible sanctioning prohi-
bition.

women church members drink pat

Elder" McChesney, down near the
stage, rose to his feet. Friends tried
to restrain him, but he insisted on

Excise Board Adheres to
Its Order Against Liquor
Display in Saloon Windows

In view Of the fact that 571 liquor
dealers voted against the resembling
OF q resolution prohibiting display
of bottle goods in store windows, the
excise commissioners yesterday after
noon did not alter their position. A
tabulated report, showing the returns
indicated that 206 saloonkeepers had
voted for the proposed change, while
57l we're opposed to it, Other liquor
dealers, to the number of 602, did not
consider the matter of sufficient in
terest to answer the post cards that
were mailed out.
Commissioner John II. Ely moved

as Il matter of fosm to bring the ques
tion properly before the board When
vote was taken the motion to re.

In view of the fact that the board

Ely.
Recently representatives of the Re-

there was a great demand for per-

Room For Improvement.
AT the conclusion OF the tests, which
We're all conducted under the direction
of Mr.. Seder, the inspector said that
while the factories visited during the
day were well equipped with fire pro-
lection devices, there are many i'm
lprovements still to be made before the
factories are as safe as they should be.
Wherever he goes, Mr.. Seder calls
the attention of factory managers to
the need of keeping floors free from
Isweepings or debris of any character,
and also to the absolute necessity for
keeping all passageways open. He is
much opposed to the old style of fire
escapes which have ladders which
must be let down from the second
floor to the ground because of the
time required to get them into place.
He said that he hopes to see the day
when the laws relating to fire pro-
lection will be extended to take in
every class of building which houses
ten persons or upwards as only by
the most painstaking precautions can
the lives of the workers in stores and
factories be safeguarded.
