Chief-of-Police Howard Fully Determined
TO Enfnrcc II.

to Enforce IL.
Major 3. r. Howard, tn. new Chief OF
Police, had another seance yesterday
morning in his Office at the city Hall.
which was attended by 4 number OF
saloon keepers While he did not care
10 discuss nhp details Of the lecture
which he delivered TO them, he told the
representative Of Tho Times last evening
that he spoke to them OF the manner
i'm which the SUNDAY laws should be
carried out. He added that he had not
yet completed his plan, but when this
was done. he would speak FOR publication.
He also intimated that he expected 10
have conference on the same subject
with representatives Of the various clubs
in this city. While he did not deem 1t
proper 70 talk about his plans at this
time. he said he could. of course, have
no objection TO saloon-keepers who chose
10 divuige the subject Of the confer
euce.
Several among those Of the bar-kecpers
who make a practice OF running their
places In full blast every sunday, have
already expr .ssed their appreciation OF
the consldsrate policy of the Chief IN
giving them ample advance notice. in
stead of treating them 70 an unexpected
raid as he might have done, and as some
OF them anticipated.
one Of the saloon-keepers stated yester-
day that Chief Howard had told them
he was determined 10 see that the eX-
listing laws IN regard 10 the sale OF
liquor on Sunday are enforced. and he ad-
vissd them to keep the blinds open ana
the bar exposed to view, 50 that passers-
by could see for themselves that no vio-
lation Of the law took place.
The police do not expect 10 IND any
difficulty I'm closing up the better class
of bar-rooms when the order comes from
Headquarters. but they have strong mis-
pivings as 10 their ability to force those
