ter OF women drinking In the various
saloons of the city He gave them TO
understand that II was his wish 10 have
the laws OF the city and the state thor
oughly enforced. and II any or the liquor
dealers were found breaking them to make
pT ompt arrests and he would back up the
officers TO the fullest extent.
gins are not In the least surprised in the
least at his activity in this matter His
attention has been called to the fact that
certain laws have been persstently broken

tions To the police officials. IL may be

there are certain liquor dealers who have
been doing "A regular business with their
female trade and that SO great has II be-
come that they have fixed up private
rooms where this class OF trade can be
accommodated. Prominent citizens. In
Guiding clergymen. OF che city, have taken
this matter up and have called the atten-
ton OF the mayor TO II. lie did not wait
many hours before he gave his orders.
and IL was a noticeable fact that women
who tried to secure entrance TO their regu-
lar places last Saturday evening were
given 20 understand that they could not
be admitted.
II remains 10 be seen II there will be
any change in the policy after the in
auguration Of the new government next
month
