PROPOSES GENERAL ENFORCE MENT OF SLOCUM LAW. MAYOR DURLAND ISSUES ORDERS WINDOW CURTAINS AND SCREENS MUST BE REMOVED. HOUR FOR CLOSING , 11 O'CLOCK ' Action of the Mayor is Consistent With His Proclamation at the Beginning of His Term of Office Lid Goes on at Once. Features of the new Norfolk "lid : " cncral enforcement of the "Slocum nw , " removal of all window curtains ind screens from s-nloons , an 11 o'clock aloon closing order for week days md nn all day closing order for Sun- lay , n stringent prohibition of the sale > f liquor to minors. Norfolk saloon keepers were notified Tuesday evening and Wednesday naming of a new "lid , " supposedly to > e nailed on local saloon affairs at once by the city administration. Ix > - cal saloon men were visited by Chief of Police Flynn and served with a copy of the following signed notice rom the mayor : "To Whom it May Concern : You ire hereby notified to comply with nil ) f the requirements of the "Slocum aw" as prescribed In Cobbey's com- > iled statutes of Nebraska , 1907 , and of the city ordinances , In conducting ho business of your saloon. We espe cially call your attention to the closing lour , which Is now 11 o'clock , p. m. , and any failure to comply with this lotice , after this date , will be dealt with according to law. By ( signed ) H. Durland , mayor. December 17 , 11)07. ) " Mayor Durland stated during the lay that the order meant exactly what it said and that its provisions were to ; ) e enforced Immediately. Screens were expected to be removed within .he day. The mayor said that what he was fighting more than anything else was the sale of liquor to minors. Sale of liquor to minors Is to be followed up with vigorous prosecution. Norfolk saloons have been under a "Sunday lid" for some time but have been remaining open until midnight luring the week. Eleven o'clock Is the new hour set for closing , a city or dlnancc that has not been generally observed providing that during the six months beginning with November 1 the Norfolk saloons must close at 11 instead of 12. It Is the mayor's order calling for the removal of window obstructions that seems to call forth the most ob jections from the saloon men and the liberal element. It Is said that the re moval of screens handicaps the deal ers whose places of business are the more exposed to public gaze. Of course the usual arguments are ad vanced In favor of screens but It Is said that In Norfolk's case the differ ence in the arrangement of local sa loons will make the anti-screen order uneven In its operations. When Mayor Durland stepped Into office last spring he outlined his saloon policy In his first address to the coun ell. He said : "There are just a few things that I want to refer to before we take up the license question. I would like for the saloon men to know about where I stand before they pay for their licenses. First , the part of the Slocum law referring to minors loitering In and around the saloons will be adhered to , also gambling In and out of saloons can not be coun tenanced , neither will women of bad repute be permitted to enter them. Those saloons having partitions In with swinging doors , cutting off the bar from the street , must be removed at once , and at the hour of closing Saturday nights , all screens , curtains and window decorations are to be re moved , so that the bar Is In full view of the street and remain so until the hour of opening Monday morning. The law referring to the sale or giving away of liquor on Sunday will be strictly looked after , and I want to say that this will apply to the drug stores as well as to the saloons , am right hero also I want to say the or dlnnnces regulating drug stores on the sale or giving away of liquors will be enforced. " The mayor does not thlnlt that the "lid" idea as outlined In his Inltia address has been carried out by some of the saloons. As n result ho re Iterates his first order with the addl tlonal feature of an "open bar" unob structed by screens. A number of saloon men removet their screens as soon as the mayor's order was received. The others , I was said , would comply at once. The new "lid" does not banish pee tables , chairs or beer tables from the saloons. It has been hinted , though that some such action ns this ralgh bo brought before the city council.

The home- leaders of Lyman county , who at- empted to secure a vote on the herd aw proposition in that county , through letltlon to the board of county com- nlssloners for an election tinder the aw , and found themselves blocked by he action of the board in cutting nough names off the petition to get It jelow the required majority , on the ground that the names stricken off did lot appear on the poll lists of the ounty , are now on the war path In Under the provisions of the law , they Cannot now get n vote before the gen- ral election of next year , and that neans another general all summer row jetween the fanners and stockmen. While they were barred from any nrther direct action , over 300 home- tenders met at Presho , and after nn ixclted discussion of the situation , hey demanded the resignation of the ntlre board , and some of the mem- > ers wanted a "petition in boots" on land at the January meeting of the board to see that the resignations vore not haltingly handed In.

Mnrley yesterday to await action by the federal grand jury at the May term. They previously entered pleas of not guilty. Their ball was fixed at $1,000 each , and in default of It they were taken back to the Lancaster county jail. The men had just fin ibhed doing time in jail at Geneva when they were turned over to Mar shal Hensel by the sheriff of Fillmore county. Julius L. Monteen and Earl Morln , both of Wahoo , appeared as witnesses against Johnson and O'Brien at the preliminary hearing before Couimls sloner Marlay. Monteen Is a clerk In A. Morln's department store. He told of taking a ? 20 bill issued by an old Georgia bank more than fifty years ago , the currency being worthless ever since the war , In payment for a ? 1 pair of pants and giving $1C In change. Earl Morln Is a boy about 14 years of age , the son of the man who owns the store. He sold a shirt to one of the two men for $1.50 and gave change for the same kind of a $20 bill. The sheriffs from Fillmore and Saunders counties were present , but their testimony was not called for. The two defendants claim that the money they passed was not counter feit , since at one time It served ns legal tender. This point will bo con tested with some vigor at their trial.
