the surface OF the city from the organ
Of the Tenderloln. The turning on of

over the failure OF the public to believe
that games Of chance had all been
closed in Salt Lake.
And so It parades itself with tattered
vestments, issuing commands right and

BLINDS UF BLINDS DOWN.
Last night the blinds were drawn
over the windows OF some houses that
had been previously running. In others
they were as high as ever. At the
same time the officers walked their
beats on the outside as the revelry
went ON within. The justification for
hon-action Is that they didn't know
what was transpiring inside.
WANT PRESS TO DO IT ALL.
BY the way. a very brilliant idea took
possession Of the prosecution yesterday
afternoon. The police had said we
have arrested 20 men. They were
caught red-handed but We have got to
have the proof. We saw them at the
tables, but we can't tell whether they
are guilty or not. Now, the newspaper
men were not there, but they can prob
ably tell anyhow Therefore we VIII
them into court"
Accordingly summonses were issued
for four members OF the Herald STAFF
Mr.. lgleheart, general manager: Mr..
Mckay. managing editor Mr. Palmer.
city editor. and Mr.. Roberts, po,ics
court reporter From this II will be
seen that the police propose not only
TO have the law and order newspapers
furnish the information that gambling
houses are running, but that they In
tend that the press shall convict their
proprietors and inmates as well. In
short, to have them give the news and
do police duty, too. 1t is a brilliant
idea and makes It possible for the po-
lice 10 have nothing 20 do but draw
their salary.
This afternoon the newspapermen in
question are to appear IN court TO tes-
tlfy II the prosecution does not repent
its action and excuse them or postpones
the cases.
DAILY LET EN- GO.
Yesterday afternoon several OF tho
crowd that was gathered In the night
before were told TO leave the city. seu-
tence being suspended. Besides bail was
reduced IN each case. and the accused
permitted 10 go on the deliberate mo-
ton Of Prosecutor Patrick Jonathan
