Young, who has just been tried and
convicted for the killing OF his poor
prostitute slave, Irene O'Brien. The
| jury in this case disregarded the swear
ing OF these fellows, thereby declaring
their statements to be perjury. These
men are enemies to law and order and
decency, and l believe it would be a
| most righteous act to revoke the license
of the saloon where they congregate,
and on the profits OF which they
| thrive"
| SPECIAL MEETING.
Action on the matter was deferred un-
til the next meeting, which will be to-
morrow, as the mayor yesterday after
noon called special meeting.

mended by the commission, and mo-
tion was carried that the chief also in
vestigate other saloons and dives whose

tary to notify the owners of saloons
mentioned in the report to appear at the
next meeting OF the board and give rea-
SONS why their licenses should not be
