SALOONS GET
TINE To GUT
OUT SCREENS

Chief OF Police Sullivan, Com.
missioner Tuerke and Prosecuting
Attorney Fred c. Pugh will be busy
tonight and tomorrow night going
about among Spokane's numerous
saloons, laying down the law abol
fishing screens from in front of the
bars. Every saloon keeper in the
city will be ordered to comply with
this new state law.
A few pencil marks on the orig.
inal form of this bill, such as
seems to be practically all EN-.
bodied in the statute at the pres.
ent time, are authoratively stated
to have been ignored by the legis-
lature. Certain parts of the bill
were penciled when 1t was before
the house by representatives of the
saloon forces, it is declared, to al
ter its meaning to the extent that
the inside of barrooms should be
exposed only during closing hours.
There is no doubt about the mean
Ing of the law as it appears in the
new codes. The screens must come
down for all the time.
To comply with this law several
of the most exclusive saloons in
the city must be extensively alter
ed. Some of them are approached
only through long area ways and
the view Of the inside of them is
shut off by cigar stores.
Cigar stores all over the city will
be affected by the Sunday closing
law and the bulk of the Sunday
cigar trade will be thrown to a few
of the cigar stores lucky enough to
be outside of saloons. Whole low
er floors of some of the best build
ings in town must be remodeled
and new doors cut through their
walls in order that some of the
cigar stores may continue to do
business on Sunday.
Under the new law, all saloons,
together with the saloon restau-
rants and the cigar stores sit
uated in the same rooms, or sepa-
rated by screen but entered
through the same door that affords
egress to the saloons, must close
at II o'clock Saturday night. They
will be allowed under the city Or
dinance to open at midnight Sun
day to run till o'clock Monday
morning, the regular daily closing
hour. Then they must be closed
till $50 in the morning.
The law against saloon screens
should have gone in effect today;
but Pugh, Sullivan and Tuerke
were unable to get together till
last night.

figure in the annual encampment

prominence rests on him in view of
the possibility that the confederate
