The- question, of answering the peti tion of Elizabeth avenue citizens re ,garding an agreement they wisj to :make with the street railway company ;f or a double - track and which w as .about to be passed upon favorably Sat iurdar.when Alderman Webb broke the tquorum, will again come up tonight and It is thought the matter will be .settled favorably to the petitioners ince there was little or no opposition to it Saturday and since it is a matter (that can be settled amicably between .the abutting property owners : and the street car company. The proba bility is that the aldermen will require the track to be laid approximately in the center of the avenue and that they vill not interfere to any other extent In the matter. The subway matter will likely come lip again also. An ordinance requiring the construction of the subway on East Avenue by the two railway companies Was passed upon its first reading at a recent meeting of the board of alder men and will likely be presented for final passage. The pros-pect of build ing a subway received favorable' im petus last Thursday night when Chief Engineed W. L. Seddon, of the Sea board Railway conferred with the subway committee of the board of al dermen and City Engineer Firth as to the plans and specifications of the proposed subway drawn up by Mr. Firth. The Seaboard Engineer hearti ly approved of Mr. Firth's plans and specifications and stated that with one or two minor details- changed they were pleasing to the Seaboard. -Club Question The matter expected to create the liveliest Interest is that of granting license to a club, which, Col. T. L. Kirk Patrick, counsel for the applicants, re quested license for at the last alder manic meeting. The board would doubtd doubtless have granted the request for license without question, the aplication having been made in every respect acording to law, had not Alderman Wingate strenuously ob jected:. He stated that in granting li cense to social clubs they did so knowing that the club would do busi ness In violation of law, since it could not financially exist without selling whiskey. He insisted that a commit tee be appointed to examine the list of officers and .members named In the application with a view to ascertain ing what manner of citizens they Rere. ' ' ". The investigation has been made and the committee appointed for the pur pose wil report tonight, tils said that Jiey find nothing-against the aplicants ind that there Is no reason why Constipation 13 Cured by HOOD'S PILLS 25c. they should not bs allowed to oper ate a club on the same basis as. that on which the other social clubs are operated. "" What js likely to cause the lievli ness, however, will be the presence and argument of a committee appoint ed by the mag meeting last Thursday night at Hanhfc-vhall to go before the board the board of aldermen and urge that body to license no more social clubs. The committee consists of Messrs. E. T. Cansler, F. R. McNinch and W. S. O'Brien Robinson, jr. Mr. Can&ler was called out of the city to day on business, but the other mem bers of the comimttee will be present. The club matter has been the-subject of much discussion on the street today among aldermen and others. It is pointed out that two city attorneys have ruled that whether the aldermen grant the license or not the clubs can operate anyway by a state law regardless- of the aldermanic permission. This phase of the question and the present pertinence of the club question fol lowing. Rev. R. L. Davis' revelations promises to furnish plenty of divresion tonight. Dr. Hulten Speaks Td Gi eat Audience Dr. Hulten's lecture last night on "How to Keep Her" drew an Immense audience as all his lectures have to the First Baptist church. The text was from Proverbs 18:22, "Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing," and the base of his re marks these words: "All flirtation be tween married people is prompted by one of two motives, as for any married man or woman who will flirt both are knaves and fools. "I wouldn't give a penny for the virtue of a married flirt," said the speaker. Dr. Hulten proceeded under the as sumption that his male hearers had made a wise choice in selecting a wife. He said it was a tremendous responsibility for a man to assume, one not to be lightly considered when he should ask the woman to leave her parental home where she has been so carefully watched over up to this time giving up the safe shelter of this home for the uncertainty of an inexperienc ed pilot through life. , "Your wife," said the speaker "has got a mortgage on your body, mind and soul, and that mortgagees fore closed. So men let us face the Issue. Let us -pay the debt." Dr. Hulten Is a forceful and eloquent lecturer and speaks to the point. His next lecture next Sunday night will be on "Your Wife's Wardrobe." Criminal Court In Sn Today The Februarl criminal court convened at 9:.v ock this morn- i"5 ai me court -aje wiin juage j. C. Lyon presiding. Only a few minor cases were called this morning and disposed of.
