One is tho "dope" ordinaucu, another is tho race-track proposition, and the third is the investigation, of the two saloons tho Hoidolbcrg and ( Tames Tedcsco's bar in which murders 1 recently were committed shortly after midnight. The saloon investigation probably J I will come up first. An unidentified man Vj shot and killed Lenord Piro, a bar- f tender, in the Tcdesco saloon about Vj 1:30 o'clock on the morning of. July 20. Tim Patton, alias Churchill, was shot and killed in the Heidelberg sa- 3 loon about 1:45 o'clock tho following Friday moruiug, August 5. Tho ui"r" f dercr'fled to the Bank saloon 011 West i Second South street, at which ho purchased pur-chased a Unsk of whisky, and this sa- j loon will bo investigated along with j the Heidelberg and tho Tedesco bar to 1 ascertain why it was open after mid- j night in violation of the midnight clos- iug ordinance. The investigation is pursuant to a resolution introduced by Mr. McKinney. 1 Witnesses to Be Presont. a Tho witnesses for the Heidelberg in- vostigation will be Harry Gilinor, wait- i er; William Murphy, night bartender, i and Policemen Patterson and Sleater. A For the Tedesco and Bank bars inves- 4 ligation, Detoctives Wilson and Goldmg and others have, been subpoenaed. j The "dope" ordinance has been j pretty thoroughly gone into br com- niitteo of the whole, which, last Thurs- day evening, decided to recommend the j measuro for passage tonight, and it -s should not take long to dispose of this matter. The measure prohibits the sale or other disposal of cocnino, morphine, j heroin or opium or any of the derivatives deriva-tives of opium or any preparation wherein aither is an ingredient except j, upon the prescription of a reputable li- j censed practicing physician, and such prescription shall not be refilled. " The restrictions do not apply, otti ' course, to preparations recognized by j the United States phnnriacopia or to J standard proprietar' medicines that are a not narcotic, neither do they apply to the wholesale sale by .-jobbers, whole- j salers and manufacturers to retailors j nor to sales at retail by retail druegists to regular practitioners of medicine, nor sales made to manufacturers of ; proprietary or pharmaceutical prepara- ; tions for "use in the manufacture of such preparations, nor to sales to hos- ) pitals. colleges, scientific or public iu-T ! stitutions. j Penalty for Violation. vf The penalty for violation of tho mens- " M. ure is a fine .of $299 or imprisonment ' in tho city .iail for six months, or both such fine and imprisonment. , The ordinance is drafted along lines proposed by the physicians of tho citv and will hit .1 heavy blow at so-called soothing syrups and the like, it i3 1 thought. 1 It is doubtful if the race-track prop- 4 osition will be reached tonight. If it .1 is, it will come up on the recornmenda- "V tion of a majority of tho.police. licenso -( and municipal Inws committees that the petition of Frank Knox and others for thirty days of racing in the spring and j a similar number of days of racing in the fall of each yenr be denied, Messrs. I Feriistrom, Hall. 3?eedall. Wood. Mc- Kinney and Lyuc have signed the re- 1 port. Councilmen Mulvey, Moreton, j Davis .and O'Donnell aro withholding j their signatures, but some of these may 3 ' sign it today. jj |
