VOLUME 11, No'261, NEW COUNCIL REFUSES LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL Application of William Hyatt Turn- ed Down By Alderman, While That Of McKim & Son Is Withdrawn SALOONS NOW TOTAL BUT 27 THE DUNMORES. Earl and Countéss Reach New York En Route ‘to Canada. REFERS TO GRAIN msmcfion olareo DIvRelic Sgslust i prison. Joe Harrington Named As Desk Ser- geant Succeeding Fred Bursley— Other Offices Remain Unchanged Expected fireworks at the council meeting of last evening were not forthcoming, and the first session of the newly elected councilestablish- ed a precedent which if carried out during the terms of tle men now sit- ting as aldermen will win back the confidence of the city’s citizens lost through the non-fulfilment of pro- mises made by the council of a year ago. = Those who claimed to be familiar with the situation believed that trouble was to be encountered by the aldermen when it took up the appointment of city employes for the ensuing year, and that it would al- so be “put to the test’” when action was taken on the application of two saloon men for renewal of licenses. Harmony Prevailed In both instances those who at- tended the meeting in anticipation that something was to be doing were disappointed. When George Stein, city clerk, read the request of Me- Kim & Son that their application be withdrawn a sigh of surprise was heard, but when @ moment later each member of the council voted nay to the application of Willlam Hyatt, the alderman showed beyond a doubt that they are in favor of cutting the number of saloons ‘now doing business in Bemidji. The fact that Hyatt was not granted a renew- al of license was not because he has violated any liquor law, but simply for the reason that the council be- leves the drinking establishments should be lowered in number and were of the opinion that now was as good a time as ever to begin cutting. This leaves Bemidji with 27 saloons. Harrington Named But one change was made in the list of city employes for the ensu- ing year, Joseph Harrington being named as desk sergeant to succeed Fred Bureley who has held the posi- tion during the past several years. Mr. Harrington is well fitted for the position, having served as chief of police and is an engineer of many years. He was at one time state boil- er inspector. One of Mr. Harring- ton’s new duties will be to operate the fire engine. B. B. Lundgren and W. A. Ganes also applied for the posi- tion. Bursley did not seek the ap- pointment. Other Appointments Without an exception all of the other officers were renamed as fol. los: P. J. Russell, city attorney. W. A. Walker, night jailer: George Kirk, eclerk of the water board. Thomas Swinsen, city engineer. A. A. Carter, street commissioner, William Pickles, scavenger. Garry Brennen, fire team driver. Photo by American Press Association. The Earl and Countess of Dunmore arrived in New York on the Olympic of the White Star line en route to Montreal. The earl declared that in his opinion the home rule bill will never pass. If it did, he said, Ireland would become. two countries, as Ulster would never consent to be ruled by an Irish parliament.

Eycan, winner o. the sen- torial straw yote conducted by the Pioneer last week, and one of Bem- 1dJi’s most prominent and successful ‘business men. Z Mr. Lycan in a communication re- celved by the Pioneer -this afternoon sald that. the chief reasong for his 1ot being a candidate are that he had no ‘political ambition and. that his business needs his personal attention. Mr. Lycan says: - ) “Editor Daily Pioneer. “I have been told tiat perhaps a possibility of my becoming a candi- date for State Senator from this Dis- trict might deter others from an- nouncing their candidacy. I want to say publicly what I-have said pri- vately to everyone with out excep- ition, who has suggested that I be- come a candidate, that under no- cir- cumstances would I consent. “My reasons for declining an honor of this kind are these: first, my ab- solute distaste for public office, and no political ambition. “Second. My personal affairs are not in shape for me to neglect them for the mext two or three years, as my entire time and energy must be spent in constructing and extending my hotel business. “It is generally agreed that Bem» idji should name the mnext State Senator from this district, and should name a man entfrely free from petty jealousies and 2 man that wears the collar of no local faction, either modern or ancient.. “Should ‘we fail to'name such & men_we will have and” must: Bxpmt outside opposulon ‘of the mosl lent kind.
