Mayor Schriver Is Against This
Provision of the New Saloon
Ordinance.
MEASURE IS CONSIDERED
Will Be Ready for Formal Adoption at
Next Session Features of the
Proposed Law.

By unanimous vote, the much dis
cussed saloon ordinance was consider
ed by the city commission yesterday
afternoon. It is now ready for formal
- adoption next Monday and it is
thought there will be no further
changes In its provisions.
There was but one feature that
caused comment yesterday afternoon
and tliat was the latter part of section
seven, providing that during the time
saloons are closed, all screens and
shades at cafes selling liquor, be re
moved. "I am opposed to that provision.''
announced Mayor Schriver. "I do not
believe that feature can be legally en
forced. If caf?s made it their exclus
ive business to sell liquor, a different
situation would be presented. I think j
a person ought to nave a rlgnt to go
to a cafe on Sunday and eat his meal
without being exposed to the gaze of
the curious public."
1 agree with you. in cafes not serv
ing liquor." replied Commissioner Rud
gren. "If there is goiDg to be a dis
cussion over the terms of the ordi
nance, I insist that we vote on it, sec
tion by section."
"1 tii.nk the same provision relative
to the saloon when open, ought to ap
ply to the cafe." said Commissioner
Hart. "The con.mission has decided
in favor of retaining screens while
dram shops are open for business and
the same regulation ought to govern
the caf"S."
"Although I am opposed to this sec
tion. I favor the ordinance as a whole
and will vote for it." conceded Mayor
Schriver.
The ordinance was then considered
33 read, all of the commissioners vot
ing for It.

ered, the commission took up the ques
tion of licenses. A total of 77 per
mits were granted, but there are still
a goodly number of dram shop keepers
who have not filed their bonds as yet.
It Is expected the total number of
thirst parlors in Hock Island will be
near 95.
Most of the permits were approved
without discussion until the applica
tions of Robert Welsh, who wants to
open up the Buffalo, 316 Twenty-fourth
street, and James O'Connor, 221 Twen
tieth street, were read.
"I am. not ready to consider the
former and I'm opposed to the latter,"
announced Commissioner Reynolds,
jumping to his feet.
"Jim O'Connor runs as orderly sa
loon as there is in Rock Island," re
turned Mayor Schriver. "and I offer
a resolution that he be granted a
license."
"I a: opposed to granting- the per
mit." said Commissioner Rudgren. "'I
don't know anything about the way
the place is operated, but I don't think
that the license has been legally
granted In the past "
"If that is so. there are 21 other
saloons in the city in the same posi
tion." returned the mayor.
On the roll call, the motion to gfant
the license, carried, three to two, Com
missioners Rudgren and Reynolds vot
ing no.
Delay Action.
It was decided to lay over the Welsh
application until later in the week.
: The Buffalo, formerly operated by T.
O. Peterson, was one of the notorious
; places that the city commission closed
up, when the "reform" spirit agitated
the august body Borne months ago. The
license for the Buffalo was revoked,
along with that of the Lincoln club.

Among the saloons closed last fall
was that of Thede & Peterson. 2102
Third -avenue, the license being can
celled following a fight between the
owners, in a room over the thirst em
porium, concerning' a division of the
profits. An attempt was made later to
open the place but the council re
fused to grant a permit for the re
mainder of the term. However, yester
day Fred McCullom, who has been
operating a saloon in the town of
Milan, which recently .went dry, filed
an application for a license at that
location and it was granted by unani
mous vote.
While the commission had on its
fighting togs, it decided not to grant
Alois Duyvejonck, a permit to operate
at 300 Fifth street. Duyvenjonck's
license was taken away from him last
fall, following the death of Harrison
Stapleton. whose demise. It was al
leged at the time, was due to injuries
which he received In being pushed out
i of the place. Alois n ow wants to open
up again, but the idea did not seem to
be favorably received by the city dads.
A serious crimp was also put in the
aspirations of Alfred Tonda, who
made application for a permit at 300
Fourth street. W. A. Pannell, who has
been in business at that location, has
decided to quit. It is said. After inter
viewing several of the commissioners
