' , t i History repeated Itself. hlu morning hen the city council made still another : attempt to pan an ordinance reforming tyie liquor traffic So dlssrusted wu Councilman Lombard, who has. worked early and lite on the . special committee which drafted the ordinance submitted j to the council today; that he declared the only way to 'secure remedial legislation Is to resort to the' initiative, j ' "I think the liquor Interests are mak ing a grave mistake said: Mr. Xom ;bard, "in not supporting this ordinance. It . Is a good regulatory measure and woold give satisfaction tot the public, I . feel an re. In preparing It for final aub- ,. mission the committee made compromise after compromise with the various In terests Involved. I was not disposed to compromise at all, but I acquiesced with , rthe majority, believing we could thereby get something1 that' the council, as a whole, would ratify." '-' ? . , Amendments Proposed. It soon became apparent after the spe cial session of the council began today that no v decision would be reached. Hardly had the, clerk begun to. read the (Ordinance when a number of councilmen got on "their - feet to propose - amend ments. 1 -, ' " 'v.- Councilmen Baker and , Cellars In dulged in a wordy . duet over minor . points In the . ordinance., The - former councilman .has said he, believes the pending ordinance Is one . of the best , of its kind ever drafted. Councilman Cellars hastaKen no pains to conceal his ridicule of Baker's statement ; The members of the., special commit- : tee 1 were- by no means unanimous in their opinions on the measure finally 'Submitted by them to the council, but tor the 1 sake of harmony they -, agreed -Ho recommend It,' leaving the Insertion of amendments up to the council Itself. v OrlUs la Question. ' ' One of the amendments submitted by 5 Councilman ... Cellars this ,. morning ; cjianged . the ' provision relating to the ! licensing of liquor selling restaurants, so that they can not sell liquor except with meals.' Councilman Lombard be lieves that all restaurants should "Have Ho pay $800 a year, for their, licenses . and that they should have the privilege ,of selling intoxicants either with- or without : food, . '. The present ordinance ( ; provides that these establishments shall ' ;vo. c.iarged $400 a year for liquor li ' ensesi but that they can sell only with 'meals- '- ' . . v: t Is a matter' of. widespread repute, however, that the meals sold In some .Of .the cafes with drinks are purely, and imply subterfuges. Cauncjlmsn . Lombard did not-oppose ;'tlie "insertion of . the- amendment by H'quncllman Cellars and the council in corporated Jf, Iff the proposed ordinance by a unanimous vote, ' Another point urged by Mr. Cellars ...'was that wholesale liquor dealers should be defined 1 to be only such as sell to ' retailers - only. .,' He contended that wholesaler has no right to sellto con sumers without paying , an additional license. -y, s, ' i '..-' . Ejfe options Taken. - . , Councilmen Lombard and- Rushlight took exception to this -view. .Councilman I Rushlight. offered an amenflment class ifying retailers under : two heads, s (a) ' those selling-liquor to be drunk on the premises, or saloons, and, (b) family liquor stqres selling, liquor in quantities -less than six gallons to be drunk on the premises or elsewhere. The amend 1 mont was not adopted but was referred with others proposed afterwards, to the special committee. . 7-.. . , . .Oonnellman' Baker ' 'WeeoredV the in sertlon of an amendment ; permitting drug stores to sell liquor in any quan tity for medicinal purposes without the payment oi a, license, provided that the purchaser, In . each case, registers his name .and address and .the purpose for which the liquor might be desired. Coun cilman Lombard opposed the amend ment, but without avail. The' special 'committee had previously ' compromised .' with the retail durgglst by permitting - them to sell liquor in quantities of not mor than four ounces..- Councilman Baker's amendment, therefore, came as .a surprise to Councilman Lombard, wbo, howeVec, took bis defeat gracefully. . On motion of Councilman Wallace the council voted to exempt clubs from the ' payment of licenses. Councilman Lorn sbard opposed the exemption, declaring ; nbat clubs derive prom rrom the, sale ' . of liquor and should have to pay for the privilege, The council adjourned, at noon, after re-referring the entire ordinance and au pending -amendments to the special tllquor revision .committee, , r POLICE GATHER IN $180 X . IN GAMBLING RAID ...!,,: ! : - ;, ; 5A iother Chinese gambling game was raided yesterday , : afternoon at 68 Vt ', North lTourth street1 by Sergeant Riley and Officers Burke and Maloney.; Thb , three officers went to the new "Chinese . quarters and demanded' admittance '. to room which was denied them. ' As goon as' the: officers called a. curtain (.vrv the i peck hole , In, the door was Urawn down, but not enough to cover .' the glass entirely and for three minutes' the officers feasted their eyes on, what was going ou ; inside.' ,i ; Riley and Burke then made a i bluff l leaving' the building, but Maloncy stooped down by the door, and after waiting about five minutes, heard the V .latch lift and saw the door open. With i phout he .Jumped, into ,the room and ordered the Chinamen around the tabl to stand ba-k. " , 1 A total of $1S0 was secured. Ah Lee, who was running the game said to t.e officer, "Well you ketchee me now no . ketciie me no more," . RAISED DISTURBANCE; . , t; V PAYS $50 FOR FUN Charles E.

Declaring that the improvement of the streets and the building of the Pall J, street retaining walls Is not only a poor piece or workmanship, but" that the cost has been excessive beyond .reason, prop erty: owners today sent -an ultimatum to the office of City' Engineer Morris and the mayor. ' They will agree to pay 33 1-i per cent of the 'difference be tween, the estimate of $13,000 and the bill of $30,000. or fight it out In court Speakers, who addressed the -meeting of owners of abutting property declared that It had been necessary to replace the retaining walls which had ' toppled over 1n places and . that for a distance of two blocks the sidewalks had col lapsed as the fill of dirt settled behind the wall. Replacing . these improve ments had greatly Increased the expense and it was hinted that the contractors had been granted changes in the terms of the specifications, so. that many ex cavatlona had been enlarged or deep ened. . The .contractors and the city en gineer were accused of resorting to the excuse that they were compelled to seek a solid foundation for the retaining wans. "The Job is awful bad." said Attorney Seneca Pouts, in speaking of the Haty irmi improvements. rweniy' year ago I built wall up there to support a Toaa wnich I had cut out of the grade. and up to the time the city engineer bad it torn, out it had never given any trouble. It was made of the boulders taken out when the grade was made. . "I. doubt if the court would force our people m that district, to pay' a single aune oi me cost or tnose improvements. xne predecessor of City Engineer Mor rls made the estimates of the cost of the improvements when originally de signed, J think thexontract was let for less than. the -estimate, of $13,000, but Mr. Morris Is certainly responsible for allowing changes and -. additional ex- penses which apparently were unneces sary. if authorised by law and hts dis cretion under the charter..

"has been one .of the Instruments for bringing the people of the state to a right understanding of the.

The percent age In actual attendance of the enroll ment has Increased very materially since the passage of this law. , Ini 1900 the percentage of attendance was 72; In 1910, 93.5." -; . . roactloni of gchools. Dr.- Margaret Schallenberger closed the first program' with an address -on the function of the;school in training future citlsena. She declared the belief that women teachers, will always have the larger part of educational work to perform, and that they must, become derive greatest The human mindwhen ':. considering Lahy speci fic Tubject, is apt Tto connect, some famous name. -with it.
