'toily each year and shall have authority to i
make such by-laws as It deems advisable 1
t

barber In the t > tate o ! lown. The bill will
not materially affect those barbers at pres
ent plying their trade except requiring them
to pay $1 for a certificate , as section t pro- I l ,
vldes that every barber now practicing In i !
the state .shall bo allowed to continue doing
business and upon payment of $1 to the secretary - | I i
rotary of the board receive a certificate

so for three years.
Section 9 gives the board power to revoke
any certificate granted under the bill upon
any of the following grounds : Conviction ot
n felony , habitual drunkenness , gross In-
competency or contagious or Infectious dis
ease. This section further provides that
any barber whose certificate Is revoked may
mnko a new application after the expira
tion of ninety days and have his certificate
ro-granted , upon showing that the dloquall-
ilcation has ceased. i
Section 12 Is one designed especially to
protect the shaving public. It provides for
a flno of not more than $50 or less than $20

ical member of the board to examine every

It Is doubtful If the local authorities will
succeed in bringing back to this city Joe
SwarU , the alleged diamond swindler who
succeeded In buneoelng Sam Friedman and
Sam Snydci , the two leading pawnbrokers
of Council Bluffs. At least this Is the opin
ion expressed by Captain Denny of the po- j
lice , who returned from Kansas City yes-
terdny , accompanied by Pawnbroker Sny- I
dor. Whllo' In Kansas City Denny had nt i
first considerable difficulty In locating' '
Swartz. but finally succeeded In having his I
capture effected as he was about to visit a i
son of his who Is a diamond broker. Swartz !
'at once was released on $1,000 ball , which
'was promptly nuppllcd by a leading jowelei
nnd n prominent attorney of that city.
Swartz will make a hard fight against
being brought 1iack hero and has plenty of
money and Influential friends. His brother-
in-law Is the leading wholesale and retail
Jeweler of Kansas City and ho told Denny
that on a former occasion It cost him a
cool $ E,000 to got Swartz out ot a similar
scrape Swartz's friends tried to settle the
case by offering to pay back the money tint
the pawnbrokers had been buncoed out of ,
but Denny would not listen to any compro
mise. Requisition papers hoe boon applied
for and Swartz will have a hearing In
Kansas City next Thursday.
Swartz Is about 40 years of age
and at ono tlmo was engaged In business
In Kansas City as a diamond broker. His
wife and family are at present said to be
living in New York. The Kansas City yo-
llco say that Swnrtz has been away from
that city for the last three years and they
believe that ho must have been In hiding
somewhere or else in jail. It Is believed
that Swartz Is wanted In California for a
deal somewhat similar to the one he pcr-
petratcd here. Swartz told Captain Dsnny
confidentially that when ho came to Coun-
Cll Bluffs he had no intention of fleecing the !
pawnbiokcrs , but was after Al Clark , the I
loan broker , whom he Is said to have vie- | |
tlmized on a former occasion about fifteen
years ago Clark , however , happened to be
out of the city , as ho Is traveling abroad at
present. Denny says Swartz Is ono of the
smoothest Individuals ho over came acioss.
