SVEA SALOON
IS
Council Thinks Seven Days'
Closing Sufficient Punish
ment Long Discussion.
After a .long discussion, which nt
times grew more or less animated
and nt other times was more or less
ludicrous, Pinker &. Kdlund last eve
ning were given permission to open
the Svea bar, which was closed laBt
week for being open after closing
hours, nnd continue tho business dur
ing good behavior. No penalty was
Imposed, It being stated thnt tho sev
en days they were closed was ade
quate punishment.
After tho matter hnd been discuss
ed at length, Mr. Parker appeared
before tho Council and stated that he
did not want to fight tho ense; that
he would simply plend guilty and
throw themselves on the mercy of
tho Council. Ho snld that he wanted
to assuro them that the offense bad
not been Intentional.
Row A. F. Hassford, pastor of tho
Marshlleld Baptist Church, was pres
ent, nud protested vigorously against
tho saloon being allowed to continue.
He spoke twice against It. First he
snld that tho CouncUmen and Attor
ney Upton, who represented Parker
& Kdlund admitted thnt it was Im
possible to control the saloons and
that Mayor Straw said tho law was
being constantly violated nud that
ho thought that the license ought to
bo revoked us n llttlo flue wns no
punishment. Ho snld that less than
a week ago ho saw a boy of not nioro
than sixteen years old beastly drunk
on the street nud ho thought It wns
high time to stop it. Ho snld thnt
Councilman Allen had Just stnted
that a saloon man's word or prom
ise wns no good and It looked to him
as If the saloon luws were bolng In
terpreted for tho bonoflt of tho sa
loon and not tho people. Ho said
that lie would llko to seo tho people
get nt least a square deal In the nint
ter. Straw unil Upton Clash.
Tho matter was brought up by J.
M. Upton, who appenrcd for Parker
& Edlund. Ho pointed out thnt nono
of the threo ways which tho liquor
ordinance provides for Its enforce
ment bad been followed In tho mat
ter, that no complaint hnd been mndo
against them, that tho offenders had
not been arrested or tried and that
Mayor Straw without warrant or au
REOPENED
thority of law had closed the saloon
for seven days,
Mr. Gosg said that he had not told
the officers not to file charges against
tho saloon because he thought It was
a matter that should be brought di
rect before the Council. Ho said
that If charges were filed against the
saloon and they were found guilty,
thoro was nothing for tho Council to
do but to revoke the license, whleh
seemed a .little severe. He said that
Mr. Parker had been around to see
him several times about it.
Mayor Straw, who was a little late
In arriving, took offense at what Mr.
Upton said, and wanted to Wnow
what the latter wanted done. He
said that If It was proposed to sim
ply drop It and let them open again,
he was opposed, because It was a

TABLE L
Council Postpones Action on
Measure Restricting Sale
of Liquor.
An ordinance eliminating closed
booths In cures and restricting the
snlo of liquor except over the bar
was read near tho close of last eve
ning's meeting of the Marshlleld City
Council, but was tabled until next
Monday night, when It will bo taken
up ngnln with nn additional provision
added to bar music or all kinds from
saloons.
The bringing up or the ordinance
came partly as a surprise, at least
the portion of it thnt referred to sa
loons. A fow weeks ago, tho Coun
cil Instructed City Attorney Goss to
draft an ordinance prohibiting booths
lu enrcs nnd restaurants and drafted
to prevent the Illegal snlo of liquor.
Tho ordinance was requested by Mur-
shnl Carter on account of a number
of boyH bolng found In some of the
restaurants In nn Intoxicated condi
tion.
There had been rumors about fur
ther restrictions being placed on the
snlooiis at last night's meeting of the
Council and n number of saloonmen
were present. Peter Mlrrnsoul ob
Jected to tho proposed changes and
especially to the poaslblo closing or
bnck ontrauces to saloons. Council
man Copplo gavo him to understand
that nothing or tho kind wns lively
llowevor, some or tho changes
came up In tho ordinance. It would
prohlblte prlvnto entrances to sal
oons, prohibit tho soiling by saloons
of liquor for servleo In nny other
part of tho building or in cafes, ex
cept to regulnr guests or hotels who
are permitted to have It, prohibit tno
serving of drinks In bnck rooms and
reqiilro the removal of curtains nnd
blinds so thoro would bo n clear view
from tho sldowalk.
Thoro wns some llttlo discussion
of it. but tho council decided to
tablo It for a week and In tho menu
time have a clauso Insortod prohibit
ing music in saloons.

The council adjourned to meet
noxt Monday evening, October 27.

about tho sewer In front of her
