That many tetegraphers are leaving

Prest. Palm verified this claim and
added that one of the vital reasons for

maximum the Western Union pays af

they raided the pool rooms of the city
and found a number of minors playing
pool. Several of the proprietors Of the
places were placed under arrest and
were fined in the juvenile court this
morning. The roundup has not been
completed yet, and 1t is expected that
other saloon men and proprietors of
pool halls who permit minors in their
places will be brought into court and
punished. &
COMMERCIAL STREET DIVES.
All these places will be visited before
the work is completed, as will also all
Commercial street resorts, and where

the Lion drug store at 302 State street.
The proprietors OF these places deny
that they ever sold the drug to minors,

playing pool and was placed on proba-
ton.

will be kept up until adults appreciate
the fact that the law was enacted for
the purpose of being enforced and of
protecting the children of this city and
