NEW YORK, February 13.-Extreme
dizziness was the most prominent fea-
ture of the day in Wall street. The
absence of the overt act" and the fear
that it may develop any moment; the
hands and, therefore, present a firmer
front than they otherwise would to
bear attacks, and the absence of public
trading, all tend to make for quietness
and inactivity. In the first hour of to-
days session but 150 600 shares of stock
were traded in and the slow, stately
tread was continued until well into the
afternoon.
There was decidedly firm feeling in

it with firm tone. with Steel common

Latu1ess Resorts No,U
Forced to Close Up

Roadhouses, Sunday saloons and
blind pigs all over the state are hav-
ing troublesome times. In Cook
county, mayors of cities are being
threatened with prosecution unless
they take action against Sunday liq-
uor law violators. AS consequence,
many have ordered the saloons closed
and it is likely that the Sunday sa-
loon will be thing of the past in the
vicinity of Chicago before many weeks
pass.
Action taken by Attorney General
Brundage has resulted in the closing
of many resorts near East St. Louis
in Madison and ST. Clair counties for
the first time in the history of the
state. Even the river resorts near
Peoria have begun to take notice of
the law and are trying to make
their lawlessness less conspicuous by
omitting music and dancing on Sun
day.
Several road houses near Elgin
have been raided and closed during
the past few weeks

Soldiers Urged TO
Keep Away From

Spend Recreation Hours in Dry
Towns, Says Colonel Burr

A resolution relating to conditions
in Rock Island, which is in close prox-
unity to a soldiers camp, was pre-
sented to the Rock Island City Com
mission by delegation of women.
Have you taken the same action
in Moline?" inquired one of the Com
missioners.
NO" replied Mrs H. A. Weld
leader of the delegation. Our or
ganization asked Col. G.. w. Burr at
the Rock Island Arsenal what we
could do to better the condition OF
the soldiers stationed on the island
He said that he had repeatedly urged
that the recreation hours of the men
be spent in Davenport and Moline and
not in Rock Island, because of the
saloons"
That Colonel Burr had good rea-
sons for recommending dry Moline
and dry Davenport is indicated by a
Rock Island correspondent who
writes: would like to see the FIVE
mile limit in force here as there are
number of soldiers stationed at the
arsenal and they can get something
to drink here too easily; over 20 of
them were counted in one saloon re-

Seve1a Saloon Men
Sold 10 Murderer
Whisky Leads to Death of Tive
Officers

After weeks suffering in the hos
pital Hiram Rice, slayer of August
Lueker, marshal OF Nashville, and ia
cob May, Sheriff of Washington
county, made death-bed statement
under oath to this effect:
/. None of the seven saloonkeep-
ers of Nashville refused to sell him
whisky at any time on the day OF the
tragedy.
2. After he had armed himself with
shotgun to kill his prospective SON.
in-1aw, one saloonkeeper sold him
from 10 to Is drinks.
The sequel to this story is that at
least one of the three widows is seek
ing to recover under the dramshop
act, and saloonkeepers, their bonds
men and property owners are becom-
ing exceedingly nervous.
The citizens are beginning to real
ize that the paltry $500 paid into the
treasury is poor compensation for the
notoriety thrust upon their otherwise
fair city. Those who point out to
strangers the bullet holes in the l.. K
N. station where the tragedy took
place observe, "Wait till the spring

BREWERS CONTROL
PEORIA SALOONS
Nearly All Saloon Licenses Held by
Brewing Companies

Mr. w. ?. Costello, of the Gipps
Brewing Company of Peoria, recently
stated that his company controlled
about 100 saloon licenses in Peoria.
1t Aas further stated that the Leisy
Company and the Union Brewing
Company have majority of the bal
ancs of the III licenses.
This condition was revealed during
p dssqssion, q. q the probable number
OF of saloon licenses that would not Be
renewed for the next quarter on ac-
count of Legislative conditions at
Washington. There will be at least
Is and probably nearly 100 saloon
licenses dropped by breweries in Peo-
ria at the beginning of the new quar-
ter, was the statement made by the
chairman of the finance committee of
the City Council.
Mr.. Costello of the Gipps Company
said that perhaps fourth, maybe a
third, and it might be a half, of the
saloons will be dropped in the event
the present prohibitory measures are
passed. As a result, the entire elimi-
nation OF the tough saloon, the saloon
run by foreigners and the saloon kept
up by the brewery merely for the sake
of location, was predicted.
From this it would seem that many
OF the tough saloons are controlled
by Peoria breweries. This again
shows the discrepancy between the
words of the brewers condemning dis
reputable saloons, and their actions in
controlling the licenses.
