SALOON MEN HELPING
BLIND PIC CONVICTIONS

For the past two months the saloon
keepers of the county have been help,
ing materially in the chasing down of
'" blind pigs by License Inspector
Fennell, their association digging up
twenty dollars as an additional fee for
the informer for every conviction OBJ
tanned. This twenty helps very much,
the regular informer fee being not
enough to keep string of informers
on the go against the Illicit liquor sell
lers, while the License Board has no
funds to work on beyond a limited
incidental account.
The fee for the successful running
down and conviction of a 'Eblind Pig
proprietor is disbursed for the saloon
men through Harry Klemme, on the
recommendation of License Inspector
Fennell, the money coming pro rata
from the licensed dealers. In this re-
spect, as in many others, the saloon
men find it to their interest to work
in conjunction with the License Board.
So far it has only been the white
saloon keepers who have seen their
way to assist in the 'blind pig sup
preston, but it is probable that the
japanese dealers will come in now and
also add to the fee of a successful in
former. A meeting of representatives
from the four retail saloons and the
four wholesalers viii be held this after,
noon, at which some action along this
line is expected.

eleven sailors from the cruiser Milwau-
kee slipped overheard from that vessel
and quietly swan across the naval slip

they were all brought in to the

day afternoon in order to get assistance
The four, who are from the engineers
crew, to Judge from their blue jumpers,
were taken in first early in the morn

1t was found necessary yesterday to
land a ships patrol from the cruiser to
guard against trouble at the baseball
park, petty officer and eight men 90

wonderful effect on the sailors, and none

which the Sheriff thanked the officer

seeking his own safety he returned to
the berth deck and assisted IN rescuing
the injured men. While so engaged he
was knocked senseless by a blow on the
head. and lay for some minutes in the
scalding water which was flowing from
the wrecked boilers. being terribly

ashore.

mended a special exception in the case Of
Shacklette from the rule which prevents
