Secretary Darling Wants Good Work
at the Navy Yard at BremertOn.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Captain
Bleecker in his report says the rum
element in Bremerton, in sympathy
with whom are three members of the
city council, succeeded in forcing the
renewal of the licenses of two saloons
which expired in April, but the mayor
refused to sign these licenses, and no
money has been received for them.
Mass meetings were held recently at
which these three members of the
council were denounced and a commit
tee 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 mem
bers of the council to prosecute these
two saloon keepers, but through the
powerful influence of the saloon ele-
ment and their sympathizers obstacles
and delays have thus far defeated jus
tice. 1t is believed the large majority
of the citizens of Bremerton are sin
cere in their desire to clear the town
Of Objectionable resorts.
According to the official report, there
are sixteen saloons in the town of
Bremerton, of which seven are located
on Front street within the shadow of
the navy yard. The acting secretary
sent a dispatch to the Bremerton au-
thorities stating that the navy depart
ment had no desire to interfere with
the government of the town and that
the navy department is not instituting
a temperance campaign in the town Of
Bremerton, but it will not submit to
the existence of numerous saloons at
the approaches to the navy yard as ex-
perience has shown that under such
conditions only inferior work can be
done on ships in docks Had the town
of Bremerton cleaned up Front street
as was promised nearly S250.000 would
have been expended at the yard with
in the next six months.
