Session of the, Board t.of, Aldermen Today. : At the warmest session today of theT Board of k Aldermen,. held in some mf' there were ; developments of rather surprising . nature : concerning the closing of near beer saloons. - The by a' vte of five to three de- Ma tochange the hour vof 'closing 01 , neaOeer departments - at 9 p. m: ;vad of 11 p- as-was determined at the special meeting Saturday. "This action today was precipitated hy Al derman Hall.

He then proposed that the "hour of closing for: all "near beer" departments' be made 9 p. m. insteadof li p. mv Aa the majority stood with the represen tative froni .Third . Ward today, the action was adopted: by a vote of 5 to 3. This action will come as a decided surprise to the "near, beer" dealers as well as to those on the board who favored the -closing hour of 11 p. m. Alderman Hall's cute wisdom in get ting his amendment through today with a majority, following the change ct the original hour until 11 p. m. when Alderman Hall was not at the meeting, will provoke a smile from those who are not specially interested in -the. question either way. Of course the 9 p. m. closing for "near beer"-departments does not carry with it the closing of pool rooms, restaurants, etc., until tke regular hours for the closing of such forms of business. The meeting was called to order at noon and there were present Mayor MacRaeaud Aldermen Stone, Bonitz, West; Hinton, Ellis, Fales, Yopp and Hall.

The v political machine then glided toward the 'final 4 and most inter esting station on the line traversed by the aldermanic. engine. The fun started when- Alderman Yopp stated that Mr. M. - D.
