THE KIND OF A LIQUOR LAW PUZZLES POLITICAL PARTIES

TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITA Xm Indianapolis, Ind., eiov. 14. Since it hu been announced by the Indiana Anti-Saloon League that a strenuous effort will be made to save the county oatlon law: from repeal at the nanus of the next Legislature there has, been greater activity than ever among those who are lined up on either siie of the proposition. The brewers and liquor people are Insisting that the Democrats redeem the pledge which they made in their state platform, but there id already such a wide difference of opinion among the Democrats as to just what kind of a liquor law ought to be passed by the legislature that it is hard to see how they are going to get together on any kind of a basis that vill be satisfactory to all parties. The brewers contributed so heavily to the Democratic campaign fund in Indiana this year that they feel the party is indebted to them sufficiently to listen to them in the framing of a liquor law. Not only did they pour money into the Democratic campaign fund, but they also maintained a publicity bureau of their own in this city which sent out hundreds' of thousands of letters and bulletins all over the state. Thousands of these letters and bulletins wen, out from the brewers headquarters every day. An enormous sum of money was ppent for postage alone. The campaign of the brewers was directed toward the Don't be Bald Nearly Anyone May Secure a Splendid Growth of Hair.

election of members of the legislature iwho would be in favor of the repeal of the county option law. . Some time ago one of the leading brewers of the state declared that th brewers had already agreed on a bill to be Introduced in the legislature. lie said that every brewer in the state hai agreed to stand behind this bill and to push it to passage in case the Democrats were placed In control of the legislature. He said that the brewers were united this year in this matter, where two years ago they were divided in their views and had to spend weeks in getting together on anything at all. But while this may have been the case a few weeks ago, there are Indications that at present time they are far apart in some of their views. I There is a belief here that the brew

ers will undertake to dictate to the legislature, as to the kind of a bill to be passed. Just as they have always done in the past, and that they will not be willing to let the legislature work out its own ideas. According to the brewers who did the taking referred to the brewers had agreed on a bill which woud provide for high license, strict regulation and a limitation of the number of saloons allowed according to population. The license fee would be somewhere between five hundred and a thousand dollars. The regulations for the control of saloons would be very strict and strlngent, and would be such as would cause 'a saloon man to hesitate to disobey the law. The number of saloons would , be limited for each thousand population in cities and towns, with none in the country. But the brewers are said now to have split on the amount of license fee to . be charged and on limitations of sa- ! loons to population. Some of them want one thousand while others favor one to five hundred population. Therefore, it may be that they will'not' stand together after all. It is believed that whatever saloon law Is passed will contain provsion which will seek to make it mpossible for' any brewery to own, control' or operate a saloon in the state. The brewery saloon has been the black spot in the saloon business, and it is said that the brewers themselves would welcome a law which would wipe it out. One brewer gave a unique reason for the existence of the brewery saloon. He said that the saloon keepers form their associations and try to dictate the price which they will pay for beer. In some places, he said, the saloon keepers associations had hammered down the price of beer so low that the brewers had to start saloons to break up the saloonkeepers combinations. This is the first time this reason has ever been advanced. It is believed that whatever law is fta.?L-."z.-ji

passed by the legislature will be patterned largely after the Pennsylvania

law.- When a man gets a saloon license in Pennsylvania he guards it religiously .because the license Is for the room in which the saloon Is located and not the Individual who Is to run the saloon. The licenses are issued by the Judge of the clrcut court only after a Judicial hearing fitness of the applicant to hold a license, and it remains in force as long as the holder pays the license fee and conducts the place in accordance with the law. The Judge of the court has at all times absolute control over the license, and he may revoke or suspend the license at any time for any cause which he deems sufficient. A court may cite a saloon keeper to appear in court and answer charges at any time. The court requires the man to conduct an orderly place; he must keep his place closed absolutely during all forbidden hours; he must keep it In a clean and sanitary condition; he must not allow loafing in the place and he is not allowed to keep chairs and tables in his saloon. When a court revokes a saloon li cense the applicant may never again obtain a license. Nor can a new license ever be issued for the premises in which the saloon was operated. This is the provisions which keeps them straight, for a license is a valuable asset and the holder loses something of great value when he loses his license. A license is handed down from father to son and may be kept in the family as long as the place is conducted ac cording to law. There is no log rolling necessary each year to get a new license, as is the case in this statu. This takes the whole thing out of politics and places it on a business basis of its own where It has to stay. It is said by persons familiar with Pennsylvania conditions that there is no state in the union where the liquor laws are obeyed like they are in Pennsylvania. Whether the brewers of Indiana will be willing to accept a law of this kind in place of the county option law Is a question, but there are many persons who believe that they will either have to accept something as strict as that or leave the county option law on the statute books, in spie of the fact that they feel that they own the legislature. An effort will be made to repeal the country option law and substitute city and township option, as declared for in the state platform, without any restriction on the number of saloons, but there is not much chance for this to be done, according to present indications. Ill With Typhoid. Contractor William A. Songer, in charge of the construction of the 300 homes for the tin plate and sheet mill workers, lies dangerously ill in his home in Tolleston with typhoid fever. Mr. Songer came with his family from Arnbrldge, Pa., to take the building contract and he took up his temporary residence in Tolleston. Ten days ago he became 111 and was removed to the Mercy hospital. Howlever, yesterday his condition became so serious that his family had him removed to the home. Mr. Songer is in a very precarious condition and is recovery is doubtful. IE (01

THREATENED BY FEVER East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Are Menaced by Scarlet Fever EpidemicPrecaution Taken to Prevent Spread of Malady. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Ind., Nov. 14. East Chlcagdi and Indiana Harbor are menaced by another scarlet fever- epidemic. Half a dozen cases have broken out in the Harrison school building within the past couple of weeks," and so fearful are the school authorities that the epidemic will gain the same foothold that It gained last year, that every precaution is being take nto prevent this condition. On Saturday the Harrison building was thoroughly fumigated in every room and corridor both with formelde hyde and sulphur, and the result this morning was a stuffy smell, in spite of the thorough airing to which the building had Jbeen subjected following the fumigation. . Several of. the rooms in the Wash ington building were similarly treated a week ago, and only because: the sup ply of fumigtatlon materials gave out were the other schools in the city omit ted. They will, however, be attended to as soon as the school authorities can obtain the needed supplies. An important development of the renewed attack of scarlet fever this fall is the decision of the health board to extend the time of the enforcement of the quarantine. Dr. Hale, president of the board of health, said this morning: "Hereafter the quarantine will prevail in no case for less than three full weeks. The people will simply have to stand for it." Dr. Hale admitted that last year the quarantine was not preserved for as long a time as necessary. He said, however, that this was not the fault of the health department. "We health officials," said Dr. Hale, "simply have the life hounded out of us if we Insist upon a reasonably long quarantine. The doctors Jump on us and the patients and their families Jump on us. The doctors want an early release of their patients . because thj latter insist upon it,and the health officials have the whole burden to bear. We are abused up hil and down dale

est Adver

by the people who are subjected to quarantine because the quarantine lasts too long, and by the rest of the populace because it does not last long enough. The very people who are loudest in their denunciation of the health officials for "laxity' are in many instances the very ones who would be the most Insistent, If they were placed under quarantine themselves, for an early fumigation. "There can be no doubt that last year the disease was spread somewhat by the limited quarantine, and we have decided to add a week onto the length of time imposed by law. This specifies that houses in which scarlet fever oc

curs be quarantined for two weeks or more.' There is seldom, ir ever, a case where desquamation has entirely ceased after a period of two weeks from the time the disease first makes its ap pearance. There are seven cases of scarlet fever In East Chicago and about an equal number in Indiana Harbor. There was a report current on Sat urday that the schools were to be closed on account of the disease. Superin tendent Canine said that this was not true. 'The situation does not necessitate this,' declared the superintendent. "We are however doing all in our power to prevent the spread of the disease. Our weapons are cleanliness, plenty of pure air, and occasional fumigation. Whenever a case of scarlet fever breaks out In a room, that room is to be fumigated. All of the buildings are to be subjected toa' general fumigation from time to time throughout the winter. Every day the windows are opened In every room in the buildings, and the rooms flooded with fresh air. During the few minutes the windows remain raised, the children are kept in motion, being required to go through their daily physical exercise at these times. The Janitors have instructions to exercise an unusual amount of care in keeping the buildings clean and each and ever one is observing these instructions to the letter. 'The rest of it is up to the parents. We expect them to co-operate with us in the matter of looking afer their children, knowing wnere they are and seeing to it that they are not necessarily exposed to contagion. The schools are sometimes blamed for what is in reality in no sense the fault of those in charge. The parents are frequently lax in their vigilance over their children, and by their carelessnes, sallow the spread of diseases that might far more easily be kept" under control if a reasonable ampunt of care were exercfsed on their part." Thus far no police officer has been detailed to see that the quarantine is observed in houses where scarlet fever exists, but it is the intention to appoint an officer t.o this duty this week. Dr. Hale explained that he necessiy was not so great thus far as it was last year, as the cases are confined largely to the homes of the better class of people who understand the necessity of a rigid observance of the quarantie.

movement one year and sitting on the campaign stage with blind pig keepers the next is abroad this year seeking new political honors. The doughty colonel would be alderman from the fifth ward in place of M. N. Castleinan who is expected to shuffle off his official career out nine o'clock tonight. All day yesterday friends of the colonel were in communication with several of the aldermen but all reports seem to indicate that their broadsides

Mayo's ambitions are concernedFollowing the election of Mayor Knotts the colonel often graced the city bench and was promised the city eomptrollership. However, the powers that he hired a lawyer to get up a petition to keep the colonel from donning the ermine on the grounds that he was not a lawyer or something to that effect and then the colonel woke up with-a bang with the realization that there is some truth in the old saying, "Put not your faith in princes."

Since has was handed the duplicate "x" the colonel has been living in such peace and solitude as the district below the Pennsylvania tracks affords and yesterday was the first heard of him for a long time. But, the aldermen say that his candidacy is already in the ica box. Should Alderman Castleman be gotten rid of the most likely candidate seems to be C. J.
