SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SANTA ROSA, March 1O.ARev. Will
liam Martin. NJ. A, president of the
directors of the San Francisco Theo
logical Seminary at San Anselmo and
pastor of the Santa Rosa Presbyterian
Church. charged during his morning
sermon today that the Santa Rosa City
Council had fallen before the big
stick" swung by the Brewers Associa-
tion of San Francisco and deprived the
citizens OF the right to dictate as to
how they should be governed. The
members OF the church adopted the
following resolution by a unanimous
standing vote:
To the Honorable Mayor and Council Of Santa
GentIemen:-we, the members Of the Presby-
terian Church and congregation, assembled at
our house Of worship this 10th day OF March.
recent action Of a majority OF your honorable
body concerning proposed urdinance regarding
the hours OF saloon opening in our city.
We call your attention again TO the fact that
practically all Of the people represented in this
church. and most OF the other churches Of this
city, desire Sunday closing OF the saloons
We call your attention again to the fact that
a large proportion OF the business men OF Santa
Rosa desire Sunday closing
Yet in the proposed ordinance you not only
make no concession to the wishes OF these large
and respectable classes Of our people, but actu-
ally add two hours TO the present saloon day.
We therefore respectfully request your honor
able body either to reconsider your action and
grant US Sunday. closing or to submit this cues
tion as soon as II can be legally done to a vote
OF the electors Of our city.
This is the latest development in the
fight started some weeks ago under the
direction of the Santa Rosa Ministerial
Union for a liquor license ordinance
which would result In closing the sa-
looms Of the city at O'Clock, as had
been the rule since the disaster of last
April, and enforce Sunday closing. The
ordinance was said to have had the
necessary votes until the Brewers As
sociation of San Francisco adopted res
olutions and forwarded them to the
City Council, declaring its intention to
establish strict boycott on the hops
grown in Sonoma County IL the re-
quest OF the citizens were granted.
When IL came to a vote on Friday
night Councilmen Burris, Donahue and
Hall voted against the proposed ordi-
nance, while Councilmen Johnson,
Reynolds and Wallace voted in favor
of il. Mayor John p. Overton cast the
deciding vote against restriction.
The ordinance was then amended to
close the saloons at 10 o'clock daily,
but allowing restaurants to remain
open all night and sell liquor.
Resolutions similar, to those of the
Presbyterians were adopted In the
Baptist, Christian. Congregational,
Methodist and Methodist South churches
this morning. and the various pastors
urged their members to stand by their
guns and compel the council to rescind
its action.
