Peopie who have a questionable charac- ter or who are engaged in objectionable business will be given thirty days to move in the district east of Fifteenth street by the Board of Fire and Police Commission- ers. This action was taken by the board the meeting last night after having re- ceived a number of complaints from re- spectable people, Who object to the people of immoral character living in the resi- dence d'strict.

The people will be arrested should they refuse or fail to comply with this order. The Board of Fire and Police Commis- | sloners has not the authority to grant a saloon license to extend beyond the expira- tion of the municipal year, which is on May %5. This is alleged by the temperance workers of the city, who filed objections against the application for renewal of the license of elghty-two saloons with the fire and police commissioners last night. That applications for license are not slgned by the requisite number of bona fide residents and freeholders is another one of the allegations made by the re- monstrators. The character of the applicant fs attacked in every Instance. M. J. Leldy, who slgned the remonstrances alleges that the appli- cant does not have a good reputation nor 4 good standing in his respective commun- 1ty. Every applicant is charged with violat- ing the Slocumb law within the last year | by falling to close the saloon at 8 o'clock. and the objections allege that the appl cants have fafled to flle the proper bond or to properly publish their applications as required by Iaw. One hundred and twenty applications for looil llcenses for the year 1910 have been flled with the board of commissioners, and objections have been filed against elghty- two of this number.

He combines effoc- |tively and faithfully the rollicking good | humor, the cordlal hospitality, the sterling honesty and the simplicity of the southern planter ured to the quiet ways of the plan- tation. He is at all times the southerner and never allows a false note to creep In. In the care free moods of the first two acts he s delighttully refreshing. Yet he be- comes in ah fnstant the sturdy champlon of honesty in politics, matching his brains successfully with the so-called king of the senate, and {he transaction Is brought about naturally and trathfully. Mr. Searle presents a more plausible neéwspaper reporter than is usually seen on the stage and as the senator's secretary and his chief support during the first care- less days of the session he accomplishes results in a very satisfactory manner. Fred J. Adams as a co-conspirator is very effec- tive and Mlissess Barrett and Pearson carry the parts of the Langdon sisters well.

Dole and they had a quarrel and an assault followed, after which both men were arrested and tried before' Judge P. C. Caldwell. The Judge fined each $2 and costs. This case was determined yesterday afternoon. After the trial Dole went home and was quiotly cating supper when the men entered and began a fierce assault upon him without warning.
