brief consideration of the matter.
Mulyev is boss. In the future no radl-
oaI action will be taken in regard to
enforcing the Sunday closing law un-
lass II meets with his approval. He
certainly made Chief Of Police Sheets,
Tevor Thompson and the entire
"American'' contingent In the council
"take water" most gracefully In the
yyineman & Metcalf matter and their
sudden determination to do little
bIudinr so as 10 satisfy the Ministerial
assoclatyon was nipped before 1t had
fairly started. 1t was simply case OF
losing Mulvey and the entire support

Wineman e. Metcalf license and per-
hitting the saloons to do at least a
side door business on Sundays, so the
American" administration, after back
ing Sheets up In his action in closing
the saloon and after having several
very lengthy caucuses on the matter. at
ono of which they called upon Frank j.
Cannon editor of the Tribune, to give
them aid. decided that II could not af-
ford 10 lose Mulvey and that II would
be much easier to just back clear own
on the saloon business. Hence the
whole administration backed and with

Metcalf were doing business at the
same old stand. Their prompt action

etors Of the bar was present in the
council chamber, and as soon as the
license matter was disposed of, he tele-
phoned up TO the saloon and the covers
were at once removed and business
again commenced.
1t Is the opinion OF those who are well
posted on the movements of the adj
ministration In regard to the saloon
matters, that for the present the sa-
