COUNCIL MEETING
POSTPONED
Lack of Quorum Prevents Bust
ness Being Done

For the first time in six years the
common council meeting was add
journed for lack of quorum, Tues
day night. 1t has adjourned before
on special occasions, such as holi-
days or election days, but not in six
years just because a sufficient num-
Der of the members failed to cross the
river to the council chamber. 1t may
have been that the warm weather
kept the city dads away. or some 9TH
err reason, but anyway they were not
there.
Those who did attend were: Mayor
Marcy, Alderman-at-large Lapalme,
Aldermen Padgett and Johnson and
City Clerk Ryan.
As some representatives of the
Polish people were there they were
given an opportunity to be heard.
They extended an invitation to the
mayor and members of the council to
be present at the unwilling and bless
ing of the American and Polish flags
in Union hall on the morning of July
Fourth. The invitation was accepted
J. A. Euvrard was present to make
a protest against his being denied a
permit to erect gasolene tank on
Canal street, but as no action could
be taken, he decided to wait until the
adjourned meeting before stating his
case.
The meeting was adjourned to next
Tuesday night.

ney has said. A search of the court

What Happened to the Six Week.
End Drunks
Five of the DRINKS that will prob
ably go down in history as the last
bunch" of intoxication cases in the
city court for some time were dispos-
ed of as follows:
Monday morning Everett Bidwell
headed the list. He was picked up on
the square Saturday afternoon. He
said he had been at the Day Kimball
hospital for some time with "ruptur-
ed" cords in his leg He was fined
So.
Anthony Bonin was found ON Cam
al street He looked like a model adj
vertising union underwear for that is
all he had over his IS pounds Of an
atomy Anthony said he drank just
two glasses OF cider He was little
fellow, but the court could not quite
believe that the two glasses of apple
Juice would affect Anthony in tho
manner they did. When the court inn
posed sentence of 80 days on An
thony he said: "God. you won't sea
me again, I'll be dead by that time"
Later said he would work five weeks
and pay the court $40 week il it
would keep him out of Jail, An
thongs generosity was not considered
by the court.
Barney Clancy said he was in the
same boat with Anthony SO far as
drinking was concerned. He told tho
court that he had taken two drinks OF
cider, one in one saloon and another
in another. The two brews apparent
ly didn't mix, as Barney was found
very drunk in Cargill Park. He was
fined $40 and told that II he came be-
fore the court again he would be
sent right along to Brooklyn jail.
Thomas Cassidy was picked up Sat-
urday night He said he came from
Attawaugan and had money saved up
and put away in secret hiding place
in his boarding house. He later said
that the hiding place was in the mill
The court advised Thomas that II
would be safer to put his money at
interest in a savings bank. He was
fined $40 and was given ride to At
tawaugan with Deputy Sheriff Hol
brook when he took Anthony down.
The money was paid.
A drunk from Danielson put up
ten dollar bond Sunday and failed to
appear. anG the bond was called.
Tuesday morning Frank Lawrence
a magazine agent who celebrated the
night before for the last time, was
fined SIS and 81 costs.

MOURNERS HOLD SERVICES
OVER OLD ]. BARLEYCORN
MONDAY NIGHT HAD THE APPEARANCE OF SATURDAY
EvENING-BooZE FLOWED FREELY
Special Officers Were On Duty But Only One Arrest Was Made
For Intoxics on.-Niuch Liquor Was Sold o Take
Home.-Saoons Closed Tuesday

There was but little undue excite
ment Monday night when Old John
Barleyeorn was struggling in his
death throes, having received the
knockout punch administered by Con-
gress by its war time prohibition act.
What many people thought would
happen has happened; those who have
said they would not believe that sa-
looms would close until they saw il
with their own eyes have seen it,
Spirits have flown, or at least are not
within the reach of the man with shat
tered nerves suffering for want of his
daily stimulant. One man who offer
ed So Tuesday for half a pint of
whiskey at local drug store, has set
new high price for the commodity,
but he. of course, did not get it, al
though he had the money in his fist.
At least one saloon was selling two
for one--two beers for a dime, but
even at this place there was no trou-
BILE getting waited on, and only two
bar tenders were behind the mahog-
any.
All day long people who do not use
liquor as beverage were buying
pints and quarts to have in the house
in case of medicinal need. There was
a big package business during the last
selling hours.
The situation was used as the basis
of many jokes, and this has contin-
ued. Some of the old FOUNDERS who
do not read the papers do not as yet
know what it is all about, and were
surprised when they found that their
money was no good as medium OF
exchange for the usual pocket piece,
half pint.
While there were six arrests for in
toxieation over the weekend, five OF
these came on Saturday night. Tues
day morning Prosecuting Attorney
E. II. johnson took occasion to allude
to the situation. saying in part:
1--WE have seen the passing OF the
old order of things. hope so. |
can't say that this is the last, but !
hope it is. / have seen the procession
of men, women and children for the
past 60 years, and feel that much
of the sorrow and trouble has come
from the use of intoxicants. 1t is not
a passing fancy, but worldwide
movement that has at least reached
this country and has appealed to all
classes of citizens. The day has come
when it has been put into effect. Pos
sibly the putting into effect doesn't
come to this court, but the attorney
general asks for cooperation and that
when officers see violation OF the
law that it be reported to the proper
authorities. | hope that our officers
will see that the law is enforced here
and will do all they can to cooperate
| hone | am voieing the opinion of the
court when | say we will do all we
can in carrying out the purposes OF
the law"

Bills A BIRD
FRIENDS CLAIM

SANTA CRUZ, Cal. Oct. I'LL
name is Just plain BILL" and he is
only a pelican, but Santa Cruz peo-
pie who have seen his manifestation
of gratitude and devotion say he
has traits that many humans lack.
"Bill's" plumage was all gummed
up with oil at seabright beach a few
weeks ago, and some boys were
clubbing him to death when Albert
O'Connor, garage mechanic, hap
rened along and rescued him.
O'Connor took the bird to the garage
washed off the oil and gave him
something to eat.
Then Bill" became as steadfast
at the garage door as Poe's raven
was. Permitting himself only a
daily excursion to the San Lorenzo
river nearby, for bath and drink
he hastens back and at his post de-
fies customers, dogs and cats, in fact
every human or animal who
approaches him. 1t costs O'Connor
a considerable amount for fish to fill
"Bill's" desires, but O'Connor has to
supply the food, for "Bilr' pecks,
smacks his bill and makes himself
otherwise unpleasant when he is
hungry.
One day O'Connor perched Bill on
an automobile and went for ride up
the coast, the idea being to leave the
pelican forever in a new home near
some lagoon full of fish. O'Connor
found the lagoon about twelve miles
from Santa Cruz and left "Bill' at
the waters edge. Driving away he
believed he had broken off with his
friend forever.
But when O'Connor arrived at the
garage he found "Bill'ther waiting
for him.
After that" said O'Connor, 81
