BUSINESS men
MEET C0ssON
a. conferenee Last Evening. Attor-
ney General Explained Their
Responsibility il Law
Enforcement.
RESOLUTION rs PASSED
Officials Are Asked to Strictly En-
force Laws Which It 10
Claimed, Have Been
Violated.

At a meeting of fifteen business
men of Keokuk with Attorney General
George Cosson last evening, the
states attorney explained his ideas Of
law enforcement and told the Keo-
kuk men that they had responsible
ity in the enforcement Of these laws.
His coming into town, he explained,
was not for the purpose of embarrass-
ing the community, but where viola
lions had been so open, as he seemed
to think they had been in Keokuk,
it was necessary to take some steps.
Before the meeting adjourned, a
resolution was passed and signed by
the members present, asking that the
strict enforcement Of law be made by
the city and county officials, and
copies Of this resolution were sent to
the officials. The resolution follows:
Resolved, That It is the sense
of this meeting that the laws
which have been SO flagrantly
violated in this city should be
strictly enforced from now on,
and that the officials charged
with this enforcement be so mott
fed by a copy of this resolution
signed by those present at this
meeting.
Those who were present at the
meeting last evening were:
Hazen I. Sawyer, Wells M. Irwin, c.
F. Mcfarland! M. E Justice, ]. B.
We'll, F. L. Griffey, Thomas H. Joyce,
James Cameron, George S. Tucker, j.
P. Ingle, Charles Schenk, C. F. Skir-
vim, Rev. J. W. Gillespie, James M.
Fulton, Attorney General George Cos
son and ]. E. Risden, special state
agent.
After the meeting had been called to
order Mr.. Sawyer introduced the at
torney general, and then explained to
him the purpose Of the meeting, say
ing that the business men represented
here had come to find out his views
ION law enforcement, and how the
matter OF violations could be handled
best.
The attorney general then told of
his methods in the present campaign
against illegal liquor sales. He said
that most Of the communities which
were Investigated were selling In
more guarded manner than in Keo-
kuk, and that it was much harder to
get evidence In many of these than
here. He went into some detail to
show how his men work over the
state and their reports from various
pprts. He thought Keokuk was very
openly violating the law, and his men
had little trouble in purchasing evil
dence right over the bars.
Keokuk business men have a re-
sponsibility to- see to the enforce
ment of laws, the attorney general
said, and he outlined this RESPONSIBLE
ity as he saw 1t. The business men
could help correct conditions If they
would realize their part in the COM
munity, and do their share.
Following the talks, the resolution
printed above, was, made by G. F. Nc
Farland and unanimously passed. Mr..
Cosson was thanked for hts courtesy
in meeting the business men and for
his suggestions.

 Booked

Police" said to be Charley Chaplin s funniest comedy will be shown at the Majestic theatre today, Monday and Tuesday, according to announcement of the mana cement. With this Chaplin pie ture the management will offer Violet Mersereau in her greatest screen success, Broken Fetters,'' on Sunday, and Vir- ginia Pearson in Blazing Love" on Monday and Tuesday.
 The Essanay company, which produced the Chaplin comedy masterpiece, "Po- lice," Charley Chaplin himself, and those of the public in the east where the pie ture has just been exhibited, all agree that Police is the greatest and funniest picture that has ever been produced with Charley in the cast.
 Police states the inimitable Char ley lis positively the funniest comedy have ever worked in. The situations are without doubt the most comical that the screen has ever originated"
 Police is an entirely new Chaplin pie ture, as it has never before been shown in Birmingham. In fact this new picture has just been issued by the Essanay peo- pie. being one of the last that Chaplin worked in before leaving that company. The management of the Majestic had to pay stiff price for the first run rights of the new Chaplin comedy, but believ- ing that the amusement public of Bir- mingham would appreciate this picture, the management decided on this plan.
