THE SUNDAY LAW.

The Temperance Burenu Watching the Police
men us we'll as the snioons-Omcers who
Fail to Report Violations of tho Ordinance
to be Arrnigned Before the Bonrd of Police
Announcements of Temperance Meetings.
The action Of the sa1oon-keepers throughout
the city on Sunday was closely scrntinized by
the agents Of the Temperance Bureau, who
we're keen1y alive to any violations. The mys-
terious young men with notebooks, whose gyra-
tions we're noticed some weeks ago, were very
active indeed On Sunday Not only were
they securing testimony against ealoon-keepers,
but the policemen on the beats where
liquor was being sold we're iealouA1y watched,
and their names and numbers registe1ed. The
manager, Mr. Kelly, states that quite number
of saloons were notified, and larger number ct
policemen booked than the police force dreams
of, They will hold the names of the officers
over until the report Of violations has been Off
chilly made. Should any saloon be omitted, the
policeman upon whose beat the violation occur
red will be brought up before the Commission
ers.
The Bureau has determined not to ease the
CITY authorities of their labors, and will continue
to send in names of violators to the Grand Jury,
who will, probably, they think, indict this time.
The Bureau take the ground that they are not
infringing upon the personal liberties OF the
German saloon-keepers by demanding the c1os-
ing of the salopns on Sunday, irrespective Of
the law. The latter complain that they are cur
tailed Of their privileges, but the Bureau hold that
they arc not. The law in Germany compels the
closing OF the saloons on Sunday, excepting for
few hours, and the saloon-keeperB in Chicago
are called upon to sacrifice only little more Of
their business here than they are required to do
in the old country. Thus they make false
iesue eay the Bureau. They maintain that the
Germans, il they would think about it, would
conclude that they were being fairly dealt with
The members OF the Bureau join issue With
the Germans on the subject Of 1agerbeer.. They
maintain that half the crime which they are
called upon to investigate arises from the con-
sumption Of beer, and the intoxication conse
ouent upon it, They claim that tho murderer Of
Callahan on the North Side. Was rendered
intoxicated upon lager beer only, and that the
evidence 1 the @ ct the fbaa o1
young man had only been three times IN q saloon
IN the course of his useful life, and that he had
On the night of the murder, drank five glasses OF
lager beer and nothing else. Mr. Kelly said to
haye had arose from lager beer drinking. A
drunken rufian, drunk On beer, threw his wife
upon the floor and threw knives at her. 1t
would be as well to onhghten the Germans On
this point" .---
