PAG THREE.

LIQUOR LICENSES MAY BE WITHELD BY COUNTY BOARD licenses Applied for Tomorrow May Not Be Needed, if County Votes Dry Under Local Option Law.

CONSTRUCTION OF LAW FOR CONSIDERATION

Option Election Intervenes Between Day of Application And Time of Expiration of Present License.

Will liquor licenses that will be granted tomorrow by the county commissioners when they meet tomorrow be valid in case Wayne county votes ttry next Friday, or not' This question of vital interest will have to be determined one way or me other, it la probable the matter will be brought lo the attention of the commissioners (tomorrow. It is an established custom of the board of commissioners in this county, that liquor license applications are to receive consideration the first meeting Of each term, which is held the first Monday. This rule has made it necessary for the applications to be on file In time to be considered then. It does toot happen always that the licenses expire the first Monday in the month In which the applications are acted

Upon however. It is this fact that may lead to the entaiig-.ement that Vill require legal opinion to determine. Under the rule of the commissionrs court, a license which may expire on the tenth, fifteenth or any other day in the month subsequent to the first Monday, must be renewed on tCat day. But if, as may be the case In thK county, a local option election be held between the first Monday and the date of the expiration of the license, and the county vote dry, will the license be good or not? What the Law Says. The local option law says: "If a majority of the legal votes cast at said election shall be in tavor of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage in uch county, It shall thereafter.be unlawful for said Commissioners or any court to grant ft license to any persou for the sale of Intoxicating liquors in said county, fcnd the board of commissioners thereafter shall have no power or jurisdiction to hear or consider applications (or license to sell intoxicating liquors nor to grant such license to any person in such county, until at a subsequent election held under this act a majority of the legal voters of said county voting at such subsequent election shall vote against prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage." Application Is Peculiar. The law may be found to have peculiar application in Wayne county. If the commissioners grant the licenses tomorrow, the county vote dry Friday and the licenses now held not expire until a date subsequent to election, it may be, held that the licenses secured tomorow will be invalid. If

loine of the licenses now held do not ixpire until after the fifth of the month and on that date the county is Declared dry, there is a question whether the saloons could continue under , the license granted tomorrow, or it be held worthless and the saloons have to close at the expiration of the present license. The questions involved are somewhat confused, and will furnish room for argument for both sides. The opinion is held by some that a license gvaned tomorrow cannot become effective until the expiration now held. The law stipulates that no license can be granted subsequet to an election being held and the sale of intoxicants ordered prohibited. It is held, further, that until the date of its expiration, the saloons will be operating under the old license and the one to be issued tomorrow cannot become effective until the other expires. That being the case, it may be argued, no new license can be granted legally as it would take effect subsequet to the election, which is prohibited. Legal Opinion Given. An attorney, who was asked, in regard to the subject last night stated he believes, if such a contingency arose, any license issued tomorrow -would not be effective and the operation of the saloon would have to cease at the expiration of the present license In view of the publicity given the problem. It may be that the commissioners will hold up the applications received tomorrow pending the result of the election.

"Mary's Lamb." Richard Carle recently recalled the first first play he had ever seen. This was "Dreams," or "Fun in a Photograph gallery." "That was away back in 1883, when I was 12 years old," declared the comedian of "Mary's Lamb," which comes to the Gennett Tuesday, February 9. "My father and mother," he continued, "took me over to Boston from

Sonierville, a suburb where I was born and where we always lived. That was the first time, too, that I really knew that I was short sighted. I could see the persons on the stage, but I could not make out their expressions clearly. "Willie Eudoin, the famous English actor, was the star of the show, and James T. Powers and Jacques Kruger were members of the cast. I thought the funniest thing in the show was Jimmy Powers sliding down stairs. Anyhow, that made the greatest impression on me. I laughed till my sides ached. "By one of those strange theatrical coincidences. James T. Powers was the star of 'A Mad Bargain,' the first play in which I ever appeared on the stage. And two years ago Jacques Kruger was the leading comedian in one of my musical comedies. "After that night I began to wear glasses, and I have worn them ever since." "The Witching Hour." "The Witching Hour," which will materialize on the stage of the Gennett theatre on Saturday, February (. matinee and night, is a play that will live until nearly all of its present day competitors are forgotten. The originality of its theme, the ingenuity of its construction, the novel treatment of scientific problems taken in consideration with its absolute deviation from the beaten track of stage craft, a combination of such Witching Hour" in a dramatic class by itself. It has proven a sensation wherever given representation. It comes here bearing the prestige of continuous triumphs in other cities. Already many orders are being booked for seats. During the past few days many letters enclosing checks for seats have been received at the box office. The . company now engaged in the ' is composed of splendid material. It comprises Edward Gould, Edward See, Robert Bartin, Herman Hirschberg, Alma Chester, Eleanor Barry, Janet Dunbar, Franklin Jones. George Howell. Charles Mailes. Frederick Roberts, W. C. Bristor. S.

That is why their success has been so pronounced.

Home plays here soon. The play is

so typically American, and so essen

tially of the great middle west that it may be fairly considered a part of its soil: Indiana loves Booth Tark-

ington for the fame he has brought her. And in "The Man from Home" he has in conjunction with HarryLeon dVilson written a play that will

endure as long as the word Hoosier

has a part and place in American happy nomenclature. Liebler & Co. have gnven the piece a richly beautiful stage setting and a cast of fine excellence. .

The New Phillips.

Probably no better soloist will be

heard in the city this season than A

Sweaten, baritone, who will open a

three .days engagement at the New

Phillips Monday afternoon. Sweaten, the possessor of a finely modulated

voice, is an artist in the handling of

it. Several years abroad under the

tutorage of Parisian instructors has given him complete command of his

vocal powers without suffering any

loss in ordinary sentiment and feeling which appeals to all. His program is broad including selections from grand

operas and sopgs that appeal rather

to the heart than to the acutely de veloped mind.

Cayne and Tomber appear on the

new bill with a pretty turn of hand balancing which has excited the com

ment of artists in their line. The work of the two is the difficult sort

which is done with the quickness and their work.

Baldwin and Shea appear in a little

comedy sketch which runs over with

bright humor and pretty and catchy

songs.

LEGISLATION ON LIQUOR WILL NOT BE DEALT WITH (Continued From Page One.)

"The Man From Home." In the last few years Liebler & Company have presented the finest line of dramatic attractions ever given in this portion of the country by a single firm. As Col. Jack Haverly used to say, "Count 'em." Here are a few: Elenaor Robson. Viola Allen, Wm. H. Crane, and Miss Ellis Jeffreys, Yvette Guilbert and Albert Chevalier, "The Squaw Man," "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," Isabel Irving, Mrs. Patrick Campbell and her London company, and greatest of all American play successes, "The Man

law and five will be enough to defeat the bill. Governor Marshall has let it be known that Indiana is not to be a wide open state during his administration. Before the election the word was passed around generally, but not by Mr. Marshall, that everything

would run wide open if Tom Marshall were e?3ted. But things are turning out differently. The other day a prize fight promoter at Hammond advertised a fight. A Hammond newspaper wrote a letter to Governor Marshall asking him to state whether or not prize fights were to be allowed in the state. Governor Marshall answered him calling attention to that part of his message in which he told the people that he did not make the laws and that he would not try to make any; that he would enforce the laws and that he would ask the legislature to give him authority to see that the laws are enforced. This answer stunned the Hammond fight promoters and sports. They could not understand it, inasmuch as they, too, had been given to understand by somebody before the election that if Marshall were elected Indiana would be wide open. During the campaign, however, Marshall made It plain in his speeches that such would not be the case. On more than one occasion he said in his speech: "If any man has the idea that "when I am governor Indiana will be allowed to run wide open he hai better get that idea out of his mind, for Indiana will not be a wide open state." Marshall himself was not responsible for the erroneous impression that went abroad.

The contract for the bronze tablet to be placed on the bowlder in Glen Miller park, dedicated in honor of Abraham Lincoln at the local centenary celebration has been awarded to the Standard Pattern & Manufacturing company of this city. Propositions were received from concerns outside the city, among them a celebrated firm of artistic marble and bronze designers at New York.

The plate will be attached to the stone in a manner that will make it as near permanent as possible, and so that no bolts or screw heads will be exposed. Beneath the large tablet will be a presentation plate suitably inscribed. It is the Intention to have a place on the granite bowlder, the size of the plate, dressed off, so that the tablet my be inscribed flush with the surface of the bowlder.

Hoy Is Your Digestion Today? If it isn't right "there's a reason." The reason is: wrong eating undigested rood. Kodol will digest the food and rest tho stomach. It removes cause and "the reason."

Then you have no mere indiceatfon. Indigestion is of coarse Impossible when there Is perfect digestion of food. Aad Imperfect digestion of food Is impossible where there is Kodol. If you could see Kodol digest every particle of food, in test tubes, in the laboratory of the manefacturers. you would understand this better. Or, what is even more convincing, let tt digest the food in your stomach, the first time you have an attack of Indigestion. Of course, you may never have indigestion. Yet most of us, at one time or another, are subject to. its pains and discomforts. It Is true that this is usually our own fault bet that doesn't help matters any. Kodol will help the matter very quickly. It doesn't cure . dyspepsia understand. It isn't claimed to cure anything. The day of "cure-alls" is past. Modern medical treatment merely aims to assist Nature. Kodol Is one of Nature's most invaluable assistants. The best plan by Ions odds, is to keep good digestion when you have it. Many persons, however, are unable, for one reason or another to do this. Others don't care to take the trouble to do it. But the "troubles" usually come later. Just the same. Then you will want to know about Kodol. A work recently Issued by the XT. 8. Dept. of Agriculture, says: "In eating, we are prone to let natural instinct be overruled by acquired appetite. We need to observe oar diet more carefully to regulate appetite by reason.

That Is the Idea! Simply use reason. Deal starve yourself eat plenty of good, wholesome nourishing food. But eat It at the proper time, and in the proper way. Starring or dieting never cured anything or prevented anything. Don't worry, eat what yon want Kodol win keep your stomach right. Nature planned that we should take food to sustain life. But what It the food does not undergo the essential processes of oonversioa into the elements required by the organs and ttssves? Natur's entire scheme Is frustrated, at the outset. Here is where Kodol steps la aad seta Nature's scheme right again. It does this by completely digesting all food, for a time. Nature then rests, heals and cures the digestive organs aad they resume work. After that yon don't need Kodoluntil you put your stomach wrong again. Our Guarantee Go to your nearest druggist and purchase a dollar bottle, and it you can honestly say you did not receive any benefit from It, after using the entire bottle, the druggist will refund your money to yon without question or delay.

1 FORT WAYNE CAMP ASK8 LOCAL INFLUENCE BE TENDERED TO BILL TO PROVIDE AN ARMORY FOR IT.

CHILEAN GOVERNMENT TO BE COURTEOUS BUT PERUVIANS WANTED TO BRING UP OLD DISPUTE.

Washington, Jan. SO. Advices received here confirm the reports of the breaking off of all diplomatic relations between Chile and Peru and the withdrawal of the Chilean minister, Senor Ec'aenique, from the Peruvian capital. Chilean papers, according to these advices, generally deplore the situation but there appears to be no great excitement over it, notwithstanding the strained relations between the two countries. Difficulty arose over a monument which the Peruvian government proposed to erect to the mem

ory of soldiers who fell in the war of 1379, between that country and Chile. The latter government, in a spirit of comity, asked the privilege of putting a wreath on the momument, with an inscription expressive of the sorrow of the Chileans. The offer was accepted by President Par do but after the rtirement of Pardo and the inauguration of Senor Legia, his successor to the presidency of Peru. Legia opposed the granting of the privilege to Chile unless the dispute over the title to the provinces of Tacna and Arica was first settled. Opens an Old Sore. As that controversy has been pending since the war of 1879 and during that time had been a constant source of irritation between the two countries, the Chileans regarded the attempt to force a settlement of questions so inopportune, that it constituted an affront and the breaking off of diplomatic relations promptly followed.
