CLOSE THE DIVES.
What the Law and Order
League Will Do.
A Movement to Have the Pres emf
Temperance Laws Enforced.
Mrs. French's Views.

The enforcement of the ordinance
against side entrances to saloons and dives
in general formed the subject of discus
sion at meeting held at the California
street NJ. E. Church last evening under
the auspices Of the San Francisco Law
and Order League.
The attendance was quite large and
much interest was manifested in the re-
marks of the several speakers.
Rev. Thomas Filben, pastor of the
church, presided, and referred In his
opening remarks to the work of the league
in very flattering terms. He introduced
Mrs. Rose nj. French, member of the
committee of the league. She entertained
her hearers for half an hour, speaking
with great yigor on the difficulty of en-
forcing the present temperance laws.
Referring to the law passed by the Leg
islatnre in 1891, making II a misdemeanor
to sell, give or cause to be delivered to any
minor under the age of IS years, any In
tOxicating drink in any quantity, the
speaker gave her reasons why it was not
enforced. In the frat place the saloon
men fought ii vigorously. They stood
solid to defy II, and secured the shrewdest
and widest legal talent, she said, to thwart
the ends Of justice by long delays, by con-
tinuances which tended to wear out the
prosecuting witnesses, by intimidating
officers and demanding jury trials in ali
cases.
Another hindrance to enforcement is the
difficulty in getting evidence enough to
convict. The whole machinery OF the law
seemed to work for the benefit of the
criminal. The speaker then criticized the
police and judiciary for failure 10 secure
the enforcement of the liquor laws.
Out of twenty-eight cases followed up
by the speaker in 1892 under this law. she
said only seven convictions had been OBJ
tanned, the other twenty-one having been
settled out Of court, dismissed by the
Judge or acquitted by a jury It was a
sad proportion. Something must be done.
she said, to bring about a change. II good
Judges cannot be elected by the voters of
any party, then the judicial Office should
be taken out of politics altogether. In
the speakers opinioD, half the money
spent trying to regulate the liquor traffic
would have secured prohibition ten times
over.
Colonel O. E. Moore. president of the
Law ana Order League. also made short
address as to what the organization pro-
posed TO do. AvigorOus campaign was TO
be opened and there would be no let up
until the police enforced the laws, and
the dives and side entrances to saloons
must 90.
At the request of Rev. Mr.. Fiben, quite
a number of those present signed the
league roll and received certificates OF

asked to see some rings, stating that

and then left apparently full of re-

Mr.. Beckner replaced the rings in the
tray he found some of them missing.

sighted at Carnegie but, they were too
