While it Is not given authoritatively.
It is rumored about the city hall that

In which Shannon called the other men
liars for stating he had made a state
ment that S. Shrake's name had been
placed on time cards of Inspectors In

clerical error.

thought all along hs had done It I did
not know differently untU we found the
name off the payroll, snd we began to
investigate It As soon ss I learned
Shrake had not been put to work I or
dered Shannon to take It off."
City Auditor Devlin stated this morn
ing that hs was of the opinion that the
council will take up the matter Wednes
dsy snd appoint a committee to make a
thorough investigation.

Bonds Today.
CHIEF HUNT HAD TO TAKE
ACTION AGAINST THEM
Captain Bailey Made Personal
Investigation and on His Re
port Warrants Were Issued.
Chief of Police Hunt appeared before
Fred Olson, clerk of the police court
this morning and swore to complaints
against the proprietors of six saloon
keepers on the charge of keeping open
after hours.
Complaints were laid and warrants of
arrest Issued for tip following persons:
Thomas Thwslte. proprietor of the Gem,
125 Sixth street; Freo Frits, conducting
a saloon and concert hall at 246 Burn-
side street; J. E. Blasler. who runs a
saloon, concert hall and poker-room at
246 First street; A. Shapiro, who, with
Wllllsm Lake, conducts the Mase cafe.
at 186 and 1ST Third street; John Con
rad, the Pullman, 126 Fifth street, and

Notice waa Immediately sent to all the
men. against whom charges had been
laid and each gave ball In the amount
of $60. Their cases will come up for a
hearing In tho police iouri tomorrow.
A few davs ago Chief Hunt endeav
ored to shoulder the responsibility for
saloons being open after hours onto
Captain Bailey. Kverybody whose duty
It Is to take cognisance of such infrac
tions of the law knew that half the sa
loons In town were selling liquor sfter
hours. So much waa said and printed
about the matter that In self-defense
Chief Hunt was obliged to take action.
He Issued a ukase to the effect that
csptsins of police would be held re
sponsible for the violations of the law
governing the closing of saloons. While
the order read "captains," only Captain
Bailey was meant, as he has the watch
from 12:30 to 6:10 o'clock In the morn
ing. The duties of s police captain are sup
posed to keep him occupied at his desk.
Patrolmen and detectives are assigned
the duty of looking for violations of the
law. However, Captain Bailey con
cluded that If lie wss to bo held respon
sible he would Investigate. For the last
two or three mornings he has left a sub
ordinate on duty at the station and
personally made a tour of the city, loolc
ing for ssloons that kept open aftsr
houra.
He made a report to Chief Hunt yes
terday that after the hour of 1 o'clock
he hsd found the saloons mentioned
open. In the meantime Deputy City At
torney Fitsgorald, who hod taken um
brage at some remsrks of the chief,
supplied him with blank complaints. No
SS' use was left the head of ths de
partment, snd this morning he had to
appear before Clerk OlsSn and swear to
the complaints.
Some mens ran make & dollar go a
