Barnett. held a meeting in the Y. NJ.

consider the matter, but the result of
the meeting they refused to divulge.

had been deferred until today, when a
meeting to decide what course will be
pursued by them will be held in the

by the w. c. 7. L. that saloon men had
been guilty of selling liquor to children.
and some course of action in regard to
