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.

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. . ' ' ,

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.
