POOL ROOM CLOSED
IN LICENSE FIGHT

The three-cornered dispute between
r. J.. Butts, owner Of a pool room
at 5S2 Main street; |. O. Moore, own
er of another pool room on Main street,
between Fifth and Sixth streets, and
the City of FL Centre ended abrupt
Jy this morning after a brief discus
sion between attorney for the pool
room owner and J. F. Seymour, at
torney in the case for the city.
The suit, which involves the qucs-
ton whether the fourth pool room in
the block can be operated in opposition
to the city ordinance which sets forth
that only 3 pool rooms may be main
tanned in single block, will be set
tied Saturday.
Moore, who still retains his license
to operate a pool room, started a
fourth establishment after the COM
many from which he had purchased
his tables closed out the pool room
he was operating at 582 Main street.
The old establishment was bought
by +. l.. Butts, who was unable to
obtain a license to operate because
of the ordinance governing pool rooms
in the city. City officers who discov-
cred this fact hailed Butts before the
city court and he was placed under
bond, he meantime continuing to op-
crate the place.
The complexion of the affair took
on a new tinge Saturday evening,
when complaints charging Butts with
operating pool room without a IL
cense were issued and, together with
several of his employees, he was hailed
pItNr nd poI
der the proviso that the doors of the
place remain closed to the public pend
ing court settlement.
The hearing of the dispute before a
jury was set for this morning in the
city recorders court, special venire
Of 35 talesmen having been sum
moned by Constable Toney.
The case opened with a sharp tilt
between attorneys representing the
pool room owner and the city record
er, order being finally restored by n
threat to impose Il fine.
The discussion on the selection OF
Jurors was brief, Attorney Seymour,
for the city, contending almost as soon
as the case opened, that the statesmen
had been summoned by biased Of
ficer. The contention proved a veri-
table bombshell, for he WAS sustained
by the court after producing citations
to uphold his arguments and the en-
tire 80 were dismissed. 1t was point
ed out that Constable Toney had been
summoned as a witness and hence was
biased in his opinion.
The case was set for hearing Sat
urday afternoon, but in the meantime
only poolrooms are OPERATING in the
block on Main street between Fifth
and Sixth streets. Butts. who has
been twice hailed before the city court
on the same charge. operated his
pool room under bond following his
first hearing.

who Is charged with the destruction

insurance, pleaded not guilty at his
arralgnment, the case having been
fought bitterly at the preliminary
hearing at CaleXico.
Probably the most damaging evil
dence against the accused man will be
that given by George L. Burright, con-
fessed arsonist who is held at the
Oakland jail waiting for the outcome
OF a plea for probation. discriminating
evidence was offered by him at the
preliminary hearing of Burright and
it is probable that this will be repeat
ed at the trial tomorrow.
1t is also probable that Bassett, the
owner of the house at CaleXico which
was destroyed through the alleged ar-
son plot of TruaX. will testify before
the trial closes, although officials de-
clined to say this morning whether
his evidence would favor the state
Bassett, following the disclosure Of
facts at the preliminary hearing of
TruaX, was arrested at Moore, Mont.
and has since been in the county jail
awaiting trial.

Prohibition Wave Is
Sweeping Over Country

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Has the prohi-
bition wave reached its flood or will
it sweep the country? Is the pres
ent furious fighting the Battle Of the
Marne or lhe storming of Prisrend?
This question is brought fOrcibly
forward hV the remarkable record Of
the "drys" in 1918, and by the news
reports received from almost every
state telling of the arduous prcpara
tions made by both sides in the CON
flct for the critical campaign Of 1916.
Nineteen states now have drv laws.
Of these, seven (Arkansas, Washing
ton Idaho, Colorado, Oregon and South
Carolina) have enacted prohibition de-
crees which come into effect the first
day Of next month, while Virginia S
prohibition law starts operation No
vember !, 1916.
Prohibition leaders are flushed with
victory. In the year 1916, it treport-
ed. six states (Vermont, Michigan,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana,
California; and probably a seventh
(Florida) will vote on prohibition.
The "dly' generals assert they will
capture a large proportion Of these,
besides Canine victories in local op-
tion fights in eveey commonwealth of
the Unicn not already in the dry
column.
There is observable in the prohi-
bition movement 4 constant tendency
to get closer to the seat of the trou-
bic. First the drinker was attacked.
Then the liquor dealer was the object
of assault, and today the "drYs" are
after the manufacturer, the brewer,
the distiller and the interstate dealers,
tooth and nail.
As it will stand when laws now en-
acted go into effect, local option will
