CRUSADERS GROW COOL.
atlantic City Rsformers NoS0 Vo't-
ing for Action of Grand Jury.
rBy Telegraph 10 TIE Tribune. ]

Atlantic City, Sept. 1.-THE wave OF reform
which struck this resort few weeks ago seems
20 have passed its height, and the waters are
now receding The agents OF the reformers who
have been hunting evidence against saloonkeep-
ers for the last few weeks were conspicuous by
their absence to-day. There IS little likelihood
that there win be anything further done until
the sitting of the October grand Jury.
Those who have been harassed by the re-
formers have not taken the attack seriously.
There are none of the big hotel interests back Of
the movement, and It is quite likely that If the
grand Jury does not fnd indictments more
will be heard OF the movement until next year,
when IT is almost certain that something will be
started again Just at the height of the season.
