Yesterday for absolutely the first time
n ia history san Francisco had not q single
saca within her gates where a drink oil
sonor was 10 he obtained over a bar. IL
vas very dry. Since the morning OF April
4, tho orders have been to keep the saloons
Sosed and they have been kept closed.
An, ius, because saloons are closed and
tpst because liquor is not to be had for coin
! n the realm it doesn't follow hat a man
cannot get a drink, for there are clubs in
San Francisco even now and over their bars
tina louor refreshments have been flowing,
the h,oky ones signing tabs and not passing
out any real money.
Naturally clubmen gave no thought
when they read yesterday morning that all
6ouor licenses had peer revoked, for they
never stopped to consider that II requires
license to run a club bar as we'll az a public
sloon. But it does and great was the
oonsternation during the morning when
policemen with souls devoid Of pity in
uded the sacred precincts of olubdom and
announced in tones that favored Of the last
day that you fellows will have to close
up.'

ployees Of the institution were OH hand to
look after its property.
Furniture and books were taken across
