He is devoted to his daughter and in
valid wife. He had no "hangout" save
his own house and did not use drugs,
circumstance which the police con-
slider marks him as unique among men

NEW CAFELAW IS
TO Be PROPOSED
,..sure Amending Present City Ordi.
,suces VIII Be Presented to Coun-
ell by Liedtke Next Monday.
,rr,sE FEE INCREASED $500
r.,;iving Act Empowers Commission
IA Revoke License ii Improper
Performance Is Presented.

a, ordinance amending the pres
:, oue regulating the operation Of
..sss in connection with hotels in Rock
,.,.rd has been drafted by Commits
s.rer J. H. Liedtke and will be pre-
.,od TO the city council for its ap-
s -, Monday. A preliminary can
re If the commissioners it is under
..noa shows that the measure will be
unanimously adopted.
principal feature Of the amending
..a;ranee is that the license to sell
s,pks in a cafe is increased from 5000
= uOO per year, payable semi-annual-
i an MAY ! and Nov, l.
Another provision which Commits
.;oner Liedtke has seen fit to incorpo-
-.,e in the modifying measure is to
snard against improper singing or
sancing in the cafes. empowering the
sonncil with the right to evoke a Ii
,ense should any Objectionable per-
,ormances be given.
This provision was placed in the or
s;psnce il is understood by reason of
vbat Commissioner Liedtke witnessed
xhen he inspected one of the exhibit
inns at the Colonial cafe, the license
nf which has been revoked.
The clause provides that no sugges-
i've songs or music be rendered and
that none Of the singers. dancers or
otber performers be attired improp-
erly.
Another clause contains the provi-
sim that no drinks shall be sold in
any cafe after midnight and the meas
IRE gives the commission power to re-
yoke any license for the violation OF
sDv part, with the privilege of refus-
ing to regrant a permit to any cafe
owner whose license has been recalled
When the present saloon ordinance
vas passed two years ago it contained
the clause that license to sell drinks
in cafes be granted on payment of q
fee Of $500 per year.
Reduced at Time.
Cafe owners appeared before the
commission at that time and the au-
thorities reduced the license TO $500
which meant that the saloon and cafe
license together cost the owners $1,000
per year. The increase of 5000 in the
cafe license will mean that the cost
will now be 81, 200 for saloon and cafe
license.
In order to reduce the number of re-
quests for license to sell drinks il
cafes a provision is placed in the
amending ordinance providing thai
cafe licenses be granted only to no:
tells which have at least so guest
rooms. This will not eliminate any Of
the hotels now having cafes in opera
ton.

Mr.. Chalmers foresight in doubly provid-
