Chief Briggs and his oficers were out
after the saloon men who persisted in
keeping open doors yesterday. Several
cases were suspected. especially along West
Q street. But It IL apparent that the sa-
loon men are quite as alert as the officers,
for few saloons were discovered where
there was any more than suspicious cir
cuustsncss to indicate that drinks were
being dispensed. The police assert that a
close watch is being kept on the move
fients of the patrolmen and a. still closer
tab IL being kept on the higher officers OF
the force. As soon as the chief or either
OF the captains are seen to leave in the
direction of a certain route OF inspection
the news Is telephoned ahead and when
the oficer arrives II Is only TO find that
all substantial evidence of trade has been
removed. II IL Of practically no avail that
one patfolman sees violation OF the law.
Even with the most positive evidence It
is doubtful IL q conviction would follow.
The officers must go In pairs. and so the
saloon men have time to send warnings
ahead.
In the face of these difficulties the chief
says he IL determined to keep after the sa-
loon men with no lessening OF vigilance
AZ long as the order remains on the min
utes OF the board unrepealed. There are
some members of the board who are In
favor of revoking the licenses OF the sa-
loon men where these suspicious circum-
stances are discovered to exist. but there
are others who question the utility of
such action, for II such action were be-
gun an appeal to the district court could
be taken and then the same difficulty of
proof as obtains now before the police
court would arise and the Jury would no
doubt find that there had been no VIOLA
ton OF law to warrant license being
revoked. with as great, ease as ,acquittals
have been secured under trials by the
criminal code.
After all days work only few arrests
were made where evidence OF SUFFICIENT
strength was secured. These were the
cases Of J. q. Lisco and W. J. Boruch. the
iatter's place Of business being at Twenty
seventh and J streets.
The trial OF Anton Bazaar before the
county court il to come up this morning
Amusement Company Attached.
The carnival committee of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen served attach
ments on the St. Louis Amusement COM
pany's attractions late Saturday night. The
service covered the best two exhibits. They
were Mamie, or the tapestry dancer, and
on the Electric Palace of Pleasure" so
called. BY this plan the local association
sought to compel the amusement company
they allege, to come in and settle along
the lines prescribed by contract. The diff
ficulty was satisfactorily settled late yes
terday evening and the amusement COM
pany allowed to 60.
improvements at High school.
With the opening OF the school year sew.
eral improvements and additions have been
made to the equipment and to the courses
of study at the high school. Among Other
things the department OF business educa-
ton has been furnished with four new
typewriters Of a different Character from
those previously used. TIE advantage OF
having two machines fof' class use was
thought to warrant their purchase. The
principal expressed himself an much pleased
with new automatic curtain which has
been supplied. A new course in the his.
tory of American literature has been added
to the department OF English. There re-
mains another need, according to the prin-
cipal, and that Is OF a hood. OF a fue-
like mechanism for the purpose of carry.
ing on the poisonous fumes OF certain
chemical experiments. When the present
laboratory was constructed the hood wa
in some way omitted from the plans and
was never supplied There are many In.
teresting and important experiments which
cannot now be performed by reason of the
deadly gas which escapes into the room.
