The saloonkeepers held a meeting

laid before Mayor Moore and insist
that he prosecute. The saloonmeIl

Tacoma Bibblers Had FIasks.
Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 18.-Although
the lid was held down tight in Tacoma
Sunday and not cigar, newspaper,
or a drink was sold during the day,
Mayor George P. Wright's closed town
policy was dismal failure.
Because the announcement that
the town would be closed was made a
week before the regime went into eff.
feet, all drinkers were provided with
bottles and Sunday DRINKS were as
numerous as usual, and the closing of
newsstands caused great inconve-
nience. Saloonmen state that next
Sunday will find newspapers, street
cars and theaters placed under the ban
Of the closing law. They declare that
they will swear out warrants against
all institutions doing business con-
trary to the state law.
The Sunday closing crusade is ac-
companled by orders eliminating boxes
in saloons and restaurants, and for
bidding operation of slot machines.
