T. 713 J III OF 11G0I 1:1 BWE THE COMMITTEE ON POLICE WftmnuruRiniiuuivu.n- TION OF CHARTER The action of the committee police, of the common council, now ng up mc aplm, Bertleson for a renewal of his sa- i: ... little attention, especially among otner sa loonkeepers.. There is evidently a desire in the minds of one or more of the committee not to permit a 'renew al of the license, providing the chart- ter of the city plainly forbids that it should be renewed under the cir cumstances. Meantime the question of misinterpretation of the section of charter covering the matter has been referred to the city attorney for an opinion. The. charter states: "if any per son or persons, holding a license for, and maintaining a bar-room or drink ing shop in the city, shall be con vtcted, either under a state law or a city , ordinance, of maintaining is a nuisance, or of keeping a disorderly house on account of the manner in which said bar room is conducted or carried on, or of wilfully 'selling li quors to minors, or of allowing minors to loiter in or about such bar-room, or having committed a felony, said li cense shall be deemed forfeited, and thereafter no license shall be issued or be granted to any such person or persons. t' ',,' The saloonkeeper in question was convicted of permitting: women to enter his place. The charter does not say anything about women at all, in this relation, and the misdemeanor for, which he was convicted does not seem to be covered by the charter provision at all, unless it be held that a convic Hon for permitting women to enter the saloon makes the saloon a nui sance? or "disorderly , house." H0W7 ever, it is said, this word and this phrase have certain . definite legal meanings of their own, .and would not include other definite things. The committee apparently wishes to know if the saloonkeeper was " guilty . of maintaining. a "disorderly house" or of maintaining a "nuisance" because he permitted women to enter his place of business, before taking final action. ' The committee on police will meet again-on the matter as soon as the interpretation of the charter provis' ion is made for them. Watched Fifteen Years.

Sanborn REQUIRES SUM OF $665,000 Company Owes Over rive Mil lions Detsus of the Plans Are Now Under Consideration in the Windy City. CHICAGO, Nov. . 6,-Stockholdcrs of A. Booth & Company have under taken to raise funds for a re-organization of the company. They have been in conference with the creditors committee of Chicago banks and while definite plans have not been reached, it is the idea at this time that the stockholders should raise through stock assessments something ike $665,000. It is thought that $16 share on the 3500 preferred stock and $3.50 on the $3,000,000 common would be sufficient The company's indebtedness is roundly $5,200,000. It is proposed at the present time to meet this by an issue of bonds and . preferred and common stocks in a new company in addition to the assessments men tioned. In a way it is figured that from the assessments indicated and through the sale of unused properties the company will be able to raise a sufficient amount of cash to pay at least 20 per cent On the amount of in debtedness. ,. - . ." , . . ..... One of the plans under considera tion orovides for. rembursing " tne present stockholders for any assess ments that may be levied by common stock in' the new corporation. Prefer red stock together with a bond issue of roundly -$2400,000 may be-issued to the creditors and after that the latter, it is thought, will be willing to accept long time notes for the re mainder due them. ' . It was announced yesterday that the largest shareholders in the com pany had pledged themselves to pay such assessment as might be agreed upon. Relatives of the Booth family have let it be understood they will, under proper conditions, come to the assistance of the majority owners of the stock of the present company. Meanwhile the' creditrs are seek ing for a manager to operate the business. . ' ' , THE SL: MARY'S FAIR GLOSES TONIGHT PLEASING MUSICAL PROGRAM RENDERED LAST NIGHT -- RAFFLES TONIGHT.

ALL ON TECHNICAL GROUNDS Held by Military Authorities and the Prisoners Allege . They Are In carcerated Without Warrants Hav ing Been Served on Them UNION CITY. Tcnn., Nov. 6.- Sensational developments tire antici pated during the hearing of the ha beas corpus petitions filed in behalf of 50 alleged night riders now 'being held by the military, authorities in connection with the recent raids in the vicinity of Reelfoot Lake which will begin this afternoon. It may be necessary that the prosecution ex pose its hand as to the evidence which has been secured. Should the state fail to break down the contentions of the petitioners, Gov. Patterson will be called on as a witness. It may from Camp Nemo , today, it being state that a governor has testified in homicide case. " '.'"' Eleven prisoners will be brought from Camp Nemo today, it being agreed that their petitions should be taken up first. States warrants have been issued charging them with par ticipation in the killing of Captain Quentin Rankin, the culminating act of the night rider s depredations and although these warrants have not been served it will be the contention of the state that the fact that they have been placed in the hands of the county sheriff 13 sufficient to , combat the contention of the attorneys for the men that they are being held without,, civil, warrants. However, the all-important contention of . the. per titioners is as to the right of the gov ernor to call out the state troops and the ruling of the court will set s pre cedent in Tennessee.
