A formal protest against Uio granting of
a liquor license to tlio ( Jrealer Aworlca im
position was nlcd vUth the Hoard ot 1'lro
and 1'ollto Commissioners by Chairman J
"M.VH " on , Secretary Vyrnvvy Morgan ,
Hers , Krnnk U. Jackson and T. S. Hnwlv } ,
who composed the commltteo nppolnted by
Uio Ministerial association to follow up the
resolutions passed by that body recently
The commltteo urged the following reasons
for the denial of n license :
ripst Uccnufcc wo contend that the noltlnR
of lliior ( | on the exposition grounds as con
templated Is a prostitution of the purpose
of the exposition ,
Second HecmiKO of Uio demoralized ef
fect of the saloon especially to pleasure
beckons on the exposition grounds.
Third llecaiiso of the discredit and dis
honor brought upon the city and state by the
open saloon In connection \vlth such a public
enterprise.
fourth llccatiao of the manifest lllopal-
Ity of the application under the Slocumb li.w ,
Inasmuch as It appears to us that the place
and location arc not definitely state 1 , nor IB
the application signed by the requisite num
ber of citizens of the pretfnct In which the
liquor la to be sold , thf evident Intention
being to secure ono license to rover all the
ground , \Vo believela the enforcement of
the law , . ,

The commltteo appcircd before the board
in Hupport of Its protest. Speeches wcro
made by Dr. Wilson and Dr. Morgan In ex
planation of their position. Dr. Wilson Bald.
"If full sweep la given to the brewers and
liquor dealers \\o cannot lull believe thill
the exposition miy truthfully bo sild to bo
liroBlltuted to the god of revelry , drunken
ness and limt. I argue that the saloon Is
the source of SO per cent of the crime. And
on the exposition groundti wllh doors wide
open and all the accompaniments of thcitrt-
cals and mtifllc temptation would ho doubly
tempting , especially to the pleasure-seeking
crowds. Whllo the exposition is In n mcas-
11 ro a private enterprise , still It Is In a largo
measure a public undertaking anil the bet
ter clauses of the community ought to bo
heard In their demand for no liquor soiling
on the grounds. It It Is the purpose of
the Greater lAmcrlca Exposition to ha\o but
ono saloon , let them Indicate It In their ap
plication. And as remonstrance has now
Ibecn mndo let them get the required num
ber of signatures as stated In the Slocumb
law. If their purpose Is to have a dozen ea-
loonR let them nay so and the board can act
accordingly. If your honorable body cannot
refuse the license on the grounds pointed
out In the first port of our petition wo ask
that you will enforce the la\v In Its Intent
nnd letter and bociuso ot the Illegality of
the application refuse the license. "
Dr. 3IorKuiiM Opinion.
Dr. Vjrnwy Morgan gave his opinion
briefly as follows : "I thank the commis
sioners for their civility. We deslro to cm-
rhaslzo the fact that wo do not appear
before jou as temperance reformers but
as the friends ot good government. Insofar
ii the exposition will tend to Increase
legitimate trade and educate the people wo
wish to thank Us promoters. But it is the
duly of every government and of every cor
poration to make It easy for men to do
right and dlfllcult to do wrong. And bccauso
the granting of this license will make It
hard for the visitors to do right and easy
to do wrong wo object to It. Wo do not
deslro a repetition of the scenes of last jear ,
scones directly traceable to the many drink
ing facilities. Many pcoplo "Mil avail them
selves of such opportunities on the exposi
tion grounds that would not do so In the
city proper. This Is our reply to the pos
sible retort , 'Why object to this while jou
allow the granting ot all these licenses In
the city proper ? ' We make this protest In
the name of common sense and of good
civil government. "
One of the commissioners called for the
nplnlou of the city attorney nnd In the ab
sence ot City Attorney Connell Deputy City
Attorney Scott responded. Ho said the law
did not contemplate the granting of licenses
to corporations but to a person and that
person must bo certified by a certain num
ber of icsldents to bo reputable and trust
worthy. And In that the application failed
< o conform to the requirements of the law ,
Then It was essential , ho said , to specinc.illj
( itato the exact location of the place where
it was Intended to put such license In exe
cution.
Secretary Dudley Smith of the Greatei
America exposition called for the produc
tion of the opinion given last > ear by Cltj
lAttornoy Council nnd It was read to tht
meeting. This opinion stated tli.U he did noi
BOO any reason why the license asked for nl
that tlmo should not ho granted. Ho thought
It would bo perfectly proper nnd legal tc
grant It. nut with regard to other consid
erations which affected the matter ho dk
not deem It necessary to pronounce ai
opinion upon them or for the commissioner :
to act upon them , until they came up foi

The report ot the finance committee
recommending the payment of JSS 13 In net-

Mrs. Coulter aiked for her husband's pen
sion from the time he left the city's em
ployment en a fireman , June 1 , 1S97 , until
September 20 ot the same jenr.
The board found that the claimant was
Justly entitled to the pension but that the
amount asked for was In excels of the
money due , for the reason that Coulter had
been overpaid $3105 previous to his retire-
menl. The deduction was accordingly made.
W. W Cox , who filed a protest against
the Issuance of n liquor license to the

The services of City 1'hj.slclnn Spaldlng
were necessary yesterday afternoon to en
able the police to land Max Wlntraub in
the city Jail. U was claimed that Wlntraub
was too 111 from Injuries received In n
struggle with nn officer to be moved , but
after nn examination by the physician ,
Wlntraub got up nnd walked lo the buggy ,
In which ho rode to the station.
Uoy Olvcns was arrcstcil jcsterday moin-
Ing on suspicion of having stolen several
sets of harness from Johnson llrothers , 0.
J. Wlldo nnd others. He confessed to De
tectives Hcldfclt and Donahue , who were
working on the case , that he had taken the
harness nnd sold It to Wlntraub , at his Junk
ehnp , 1123 Chicago street. As ho was will
ing to accompany the odlcers nnd face
Wlntraub with the accusation that ho was
the purchaser of the harness , the two of-
ficcrH took him there Wlntraub denied the
allegation and refused to turn over the har
ness When the officers Insisted , ho caught
Heldfclt by the tht oat and attempted to
choke him. When thrown on the ground
Wintraub took Hcldfelt's shirt with him
and also delivered a couple of vicious kicks
In the officer's stomach. Holdfclt then
drew his club , and when Wlntraub had
scrambled to his feet struck him twice
over the head with his club. This laid
Wlntraub up for repairs. The officers re
turned to the station nnd secured a search
warrant for Wlntraub's place and also a
warrant for his arrest on the charge ot
concealing stolen goods They failed to
find any of the harness In his thop and ho
was reported to be too 111 to be moved.
They did not believe this and secured the
city ph > Hlclan In order that no mistake
might bo made.

cause it left Fontanello park out altogether
and because of the great expense to bring
parts of the route to grade. The park com
mltteo was Instructed to visit the park
board nnd Inform It of the club's action
nnd learn vhnt stops would bo necessary
to bring the matter properly before It.
C. II. Gratlon stated that Injustice had
been done the club through misrepresenta

the opinion was prevalent that the club had
been responsible for the moving ot the pesi
house to the Winspear triangle. As a mattei
of fact the city officials themselves had
been responsible for the action. He though !
the city had a right to locale a pest houst

The announcement was made yesterday
that the Klngmnn company will icsumc busi

the disastrous ilro it suffered from Sun

had been looking over a number ot buildIngs -

Ho received word that fifteen cars had been
| filled with machinery at I'eorin and started
west by fast freight to fill the orders which
the company had on hand hero when the
cl fire occurred. As soon ns Mr. Klngman
" arrives a building will bo secured nnd thla
° machinery unloaded for reshlpmcnt to cus-
0 tomers.
11 No dlfficully Is anticipated in the adjust
ment of the Insurance , as It is carried by
r strong companies which will doubtless pay
the policies promptly. All of It Is over
head Insurance , policies having been awarded
to companies from the head establishment
in I'eorla. As Iho value of the building
was 170,000 and the contents are estimated
to have been worth $100,000 , It Is believed
by local rcprcscntalives the Insurance car
ried was nt least 1125,000 , or 75 per cent o !
the value.

The address bearing upon the anniversary
feature was by Miss Ljdln McCague , being
a resume of the work of the association.
l"rom the fncls produced by Ml McCague
It was shown that the association was or
ganized six > cars ago In the Tlrst Congrcga-
llonal church wllh a charter membership
of less ihnn 100 members , whllo the mem
bership nt this tlmo Is 123. The expenses of

There Invo been great additions to the

added materially to the value of lhat do-
parlmcnl. The Monday night mccllngs have
been supplied wllh nn excellent list of IPC-
lurtH and concerts which have been gcncr-

For Iho fulure , Miss McCague said II was
the hope ot the management to broaden the
work of the association , establish definite
courses In educational Hnea , extend the
field until n largo number of the women cm-
plojed In fnclorlcs shall become members ,
and to add a domestic deparlment to edu
cate > oung women In the know ledge of ho\v

When the association was oiganlzed It
occupied Iwo small rooms In Ihe McCaguo
building , which "wore " ample for Us demands
t that time. Then It moved Into The Bee
building , where the gymnasium was added
ind where it remained until about two jcars
ago -when it had again oulgrown Iho accom

AGITATE AN OLD QUESTION
Property Omicri riRiirc on Iteilnc-
liijv Crude of DixlKr Street
11111.
The Idea of removing a slice from the
apex of the Dodge slreet hill that has been
agitated at Intervals during recent > cars
is again being urged by property owners
who believe there Is an encouraging pros
pect lhal a majority pctillon for Iho change
of grade can be seemed during the present
season. A minority of the pioperty own-
orb Interested have nlwnjs favored the Im
provement , but on previous occasions they
hnvo not been able to accumulate sufficient
weight lo push It to a reality. Their op
ponents have admitted thnt n reduction of
the grndo would bo a Iremendous benefit ,
not only to the property Immediately nrt-
jolnlng , but to the city nt large , but they
have held aloof on account of the expenss
that they exptclod would be Incut red In
lowering Ihclr property to conform to the
ne\v grade
The arguments Hint are now being urged
in favor of the Improvement are very
similar to those which were submitted four
jears ngo when a similar movement failed
to bring practical results. It Is contended
that the aggravated grade practically exiles
n largo chunk of the best residence prop ,
erty In the city from approach. Aside from
the steep hill on Dodge , from Sovcnteenlh to
Twentieth streets , the eighteenth street np-
proacli from the north Is almost equally Im
passable. At Nlneteenlh street n moderate
grndo from the south meets another steer
approach from Iho north , and the Twentieth
btreet Intcrsecllon Is practically the npei
of a hill which can only bo reached on three
sides by sleep approaches. It Is contended
that even .1 moderate reduction of the
Dodge slreet grade , supplemented by cor
responding moderations of the approaches
would double the value of the ndjolnlnp
property. It Is asserted thai this must be
cut down sooner or later. The most diffi
cult question relates to the extenl of ox.
cavnllon Hint will bo necessary In older tc
make the streets available for genera
traffic.
The plan that meets with most genera
favor contemplates n cut beginning jus
ivosl of Sevcnteenlh slreet and extending ti
nbout Twenty-first Btreol. It Is contendei
thai the cut should bo nt least ten feet a
the highest point at Twentieth street am
that this would largely eliminate the prcsen
dlfficully. The agitation has not taken an ;
dofinllo form at this time , but a petition wll
probably bo circulated as soon n a mon
definite Idea of the wishes of property owner
in regard to the oxlenl of the cut can bi
secured.

The final hearing on nil the mutters thnt
tiavo developed In connection with the
affairs of the Herman Savings bank Is In
progress botoro Judge Taw cell. The hear
ing was originally set on the application ot
Iho nllornejs for Iho ciedllors for an order
closing up Iho iccclvcrshlp , gelling the as
sets nnd otherwise winding up the affairs
of the bank In order that the creditor * !
might begin suit ngnlnst the stockholders
for whatever balance remained unpaid
Later nn objection was filed to tlio super-
Bcdcns bond given by the bank on the
giound that J. W West , who signed Ihe
bond for the bank , was never legally nu-
UioiUeU to do M > . This controvcis > was
Ihe principal Isssuu during Iho forenoon
President 0. J Km bach of the bank was
called by the creditors with Instiuctlons to
bring all books nnd rccoids Hint icmalncd
In his possession. He testified that he has
no iccords , and that If any exist :
they are in the possession of
L D row lor , the cnshlei , who
Is now In Washington. There was a splrlled
tilt between Ihe allornejs on the question
of whether the witness should bo permitted
to testify in legard to action taken by the
Hoard ot Directors at the meeting held Jan
uary 2 , 1897. The attorney for the bank en
deavored to show that nt this meeting the
directors adopted a resolution by which the
president and cashier were authorized to
employ Mr. West to represent the bank , but
all questions along that line wcro btubboinly
conlcslcd on Iho Ihcory that the record of
the meeting Is the best evidence and that it
could have been procured If the directors
wanted It. This view was sustained by the
court , but the purpose wns partially effected
by the Introduction of a letlei written by
the president and cashier immediately nfler
Iho meelliig in which Mr. West was formally
iclnlncd.

Nearly all Iho Judges were on Iho dis
trict court bench this morning to wind up
their dockets preparatory to the vacation
of one week that will separate Iho Febru
ary and May terms. Mct > t ot the business
transacted was comparatively unimportant ,
except to the litigants. It consisted largely
of rulings on minor mailers and such or
ders aswere necessary in order to tide the
business over to another term Judge Baker
occupied most of the forenoon in passing on
renewals of the bonds of defendants In crim
inal cases who are out on ball and whose
cases could not be reached at Ihe last term.
As the bonds wcro only given until the end
of the term the prisoners were compelled to
give now bonds or go to jail until their
cases are i cached next term.
Judges l\osor , Powell and Slabaugh were
down to attend to such mailers of detail ns
were presented to them and Judge Taw cell
had n busy day , ns his docket conlalncd the
county clerk Injunction case , the final heai-
ing on Ihe German Savings bank case and a
number of olher mailers. Ho will be com
pelled lo spend at least a part of his brief
vacation in completing thcso cabes. The
other judges will probably remain in Iho
city dining the week.
