SALOON ELEMENT ABLE
Strong Enough to Destroy Naval Yard
 at Bremerton.

Washington, D. C., June 1.-The re- mandant of the Bremerton navy yard at Seattle, Wash. relative to the i'm moral conditions in the vicinity of the yard has been received by Acting See reary Darling and in view Of its con- tents the navy department declines to alter it's decision not to allow any more war shirs to go to that yard.
 Captain Blocker, in his report says: The rum element in BremertOn, in sympathy with whom are three mem bers of the city council, succeeded .n forcing the renewal of the licenses of two saloons which expired in April, but the mayor refused to sign these li- censes and no money has been received for them. The commanding officer of the receiving ship Nipsic, in report. says mass meetings were held recent ly at which these three members of the council were denounced and a committee was appointed to request them to resign their offices"
 This they refused to do. Efforts have been made and are being made by the respectable members of the council 10 posecute these saloon keepers but through the powerful infipence of the saloon element and their sympathizers, obstacles have thus far defeated jus tice. I believe the large majority of the citizens of Bremerton are sincere in their desire to clear the town of objectionable resorts. Today. accord ing to the official report there are six teen saloons in the town of Bremerton of which seven are located on Front street. within the shadow of the navy yard"

The distress of the sufferers is being relieved. Those who are still in North Topeka are being supplied with food and they are in practically no danger unless it be from sickness.

Doctors and medical relief cannot reach the suffer CTS to any great extent.

There is also a case or two of scarlet fever among the refugees on the North Side.
