DIVE-kEEPERS' TRICKS
Gremorne People Juggling
With the Law.
TRYING TO TRIGHTEl LIQUOR MEN
Can the Supervisors Afford to Favor the
Tile BiYeS and Chinese GrOggerieS?
4 StrOng Protest.

Buy strip Of land a foot wide and 100
feet long. Divide it into twelve equai
PARTS. Sell each part to friend oil yours
for 81. Then get each Of the twelve men to
sign your petition TO keep open crime
hatchery.
That is the way to do it.
That is the way Ed Homan OF the Gre
mOrne The8ter is trying 10 10.
lie can only get three resident property
owners to sign his petition, but he can
make twelve men prOperty-Owners in his
block by this means.
Those men will all be friends Of his.
They will doubtless be interested in some
way in tie success Of the CTemurne Crime
Hatchery.
Does not all this emphasize the necessity
for the amendment of the license order?
TUE CALL has all along shown the alb
surditv of the order rs it stands, and now il
IS rendered doubly absurd.
The order should be amended at once.
Not only would it close the notorious Gre
morne. but it would sweep out Of existence
all those vile Chinese groggeries, which are
the resort Of highbnders.
In those Chinese places white men buy
whisky, beer and cigars, for they can get
them cheaper there than they can II pur-
chased from the white saloon keeper or
eigaT-dealer.
Win Tie Supervisors vote for the main
tenauCe of these dens?
II they do. how viii the people vote at the
coming election?
The dive question is going to be warmly
waged at election time. 1t Is going 10 be
oUe Of tile chief questions at Issue IN the
local campaign
The Supervisor who Is led 10 believe that
the liquor and cigar dealers, as DO y, are
10 favor Of the dives, makes a great mis- lake.
Every reputable lQuoT-seller, every re-
spCct bic cigar-dealer. is against Inc dives
and IL favor OF the amendment Of the order.
They will all work hard. too, 10 secure the
adoption of the resolution new before the
Supervisors.
As for the Crem0rne, three men only are
on the list Of its sigUers-J. g. Fair, >. c.
RoteTIs and Joseph Ross. As Mir. Ross has
Ialely gone to live in Alameda be may be
considered a nonresident, which would
ieave but TWO valid signatuIeS-tnose u
Fair and Roberts.
On The other hand p resident real-estate
holders in the CTemOTue block have signed
protest 20 the Supervisors against the
existence Of Mailman 81 Homan's crime
hatchery as q public nuisance.
The protest, which is yeTv strongly
wcrced, was fled with tile supervisors yes
ttTday.
