MORE CHARGES
AGAINST BARS.
Chief Of Police Brown Files
New Complaint
ACCUSES Fifteen SALOONS.
Gives List of Those He Declares
Were Open Sunday
September 16
ACCUSES Fifteen SALOONS

Information charging Is Walla Wal
la saloonmen with having violated the
Sunday closing law by keeping their
saloons open September Is, was filed
with City Clerk Hart by Chief of Po-
lice Brown this morning.
The charges are similar to those
filed against the four saloonmen whose
licenses were revoked at last Tues
day nights council meeting.
While rumors have been current for
several days that Chief Brown would
follow up the crusade started last
week by filing charges against saloon
men alleged to have openly violated
the Sunday closing law September 16,
many Of the saloonkeepers hoped that
by agreeing to observe the law in the
future, proceedings would be dropped.
More TO Follow.
These were naturally much per-
turbed when it became public this
morning that Chief Brown had filed
charges against Is saloonkeepers and
in all likelihood would file complaints
against several more, who it is alleged,
kept open September Is.
1t is said several of the saloonmen
! named in the complaint held a meet

uation with a view of heading off pro-
ceedings, If possible, but what plan
Of action was decided upon, if any,
| could not be learned.
There was no other course to pur-
saloonmen," said Chief Brown this
morning. "They persisted in violating
the law before the other cases were
settled and now they must suffer the
consequences. The salOonmen have
nobody to blame but themselves.
They were warned repeatedly to re-
main closed"
against the Is sa1oonmen informed
against today was practically the same
used in convicting the four saloonmen
whose licenses were revoked last
week. The council will probably take
up the charges at tonight's meeting
and set the dates for hearing the
complaints.
Charges by Chief.
The charges filed by Chief Brown
are as follows:
