rotations by the children will begin.
Ihere are between two and three hun

the saloons during certain hours Of the
night, was the most interesting feature
Of the meeting OF the Committee on
Charter, Ordinance and Reform last
night.
The ordinance, which is really an
amendment to the city ordinance requir-
Ing the saloons to close ON Sunday, pros
voked quite little argument pro and
con, and there were a few good-natnred
spats between the memters Of the com
mittee. Mr.. Umauf favored the closing
of the saloons every night at II o'clock,
and opening, again at, 5; in the morning.
He. however. accepted the amendment to
have the close at midnight and open at
in the, morning. Mr. Umlauf stated
that he had conferred with various sa.
loonkeepers regarding the matter, and
that they We're all in favor Of the pro-
posed ordinance.
Mr.. Lynch made a motion to hold tho
ordinance over TIL the next meeting OF
the committee. and stated that he was
opposed to the closing Of the saloons dur
ing. the hours In question. He declared
that the police we're holding the bars in
subsection, and that he was in favor OF
leaving things as they were. #
Mr.. Umlauf, in reply to statement
that the bar-keepers ought to be in
vited to appear before the committee be-
fore the ordinance was TAssed upon,
said that at a meeting some time ago
of the committee, they had been heard
from, and that Chief Werner had favored
the proposed law. The chief, however,
stated at that time that ~ thought it
was advisable to wait until the crusade
against the fake clubs had been con-
Guided, and then to take action In the
matter.
