RESPONSIBILITY OF EAGLES' RARs
 ASSUMED FORMALLY BY THE LODGE

interest of truth and justice, that the Press publish the name of any Eagle giving such information.
 Resolved that a copy of this reso- lution be furnished the Imperial Val ley Press.
 The Press sees no reason for com pliance with the request. The Aerie has assumed full responsibility for the bar and endorsed the actions of city officials who are violating the terms and the spirit of a city ordinance under cover of an alleged technical legality that is disputed by compe- tent attorneys Whether or not the Aerie has derived profit from the bar is question that concerns only the members. It is affirmed by some and denied by others. The Press said the profits made by the association since May 8, 1909, if any, did not accrue to the Aerie. The Aerie, by formal resolution, says the Press was mis- informed. Evidently somebody is mistaken in matters of fact, but the fact is not one of public importance. The Press declines to follow the her ring dragged across the trail of the blind pig.
 The state of affairs in which E! Centro and the people of Imperial County are interested is this: the county and city ordinances expressly forbid the sale or distribution of in toxicating drinks "by any person, firm, corporation, club or association; the Eagles Hall Association, under direc tion of El Centro Aerie, sells drinks over bar in the Blackinton building. and three officers of the city are ac- lively concerned in the business; the bar in Eagles Hall is regarded as q public nuisance by many citizens; it is the duty of the Board of Trustees of the City of Fl Centro to order the owner of the place to abate the nuisance and it is the duty of the city marshal to seize and destroy the liquors kept in Eagles Hall after mo- tice has been served.
 The citizens of El Centro know tho facts. It is now up to them to do what may seem to them proper and expe- dient
Imperial Valley press., 1909-10-09

Two weeks ago the Press gave pub licity to the facts in connection with the sale of liquor in the rooms of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in direct violation of Ordinance No. of the city of Fl Centro.
 Publication of the facts had been deferred in compliance with requests of several members of the Aerie, who asked time and opportunity for the Aerie to abolish the buffet of it's own motion. These members declared that they were opposed to the sale of liquor in the lodge rooms, and that they would either put the Eagles Hall bar out of business or withdraw from the lodge in body.
 An apparently successful effort to abate the nuisance was made, but the persons conducting the bar, M. w. Conkling, H. B. Pearson, J. C. BLACK ington and Albert Casner, with the aid of members from Imperial and CaleH- leo. reversed the action of the El Cen . rro anti-bar group and re-establish- ed the saloon.
 It appearing that the antibar mem bers were unable to induce the Aerie to respect the city ordinance and the cleary- expressed will of the citizens of Fl Centro, the Press deemed It. self released from obligation to give them further time, and therefore pre- sented to the public the facts as set forth in the report of committee appointed to investigate the relation of the buffet to the lodge
 The fact that the retail liquor traf- fic is conducted in Eagles Hall by the persons named by the Press is not disputed. Members and officers of the Aerie asserted that the Aerie does not operate the bar and does not de- rive profit from the business, and the Press accepted and repeated their as sertion. MT Conkling asserts that the Aerie does receive benefits from the business of the buffet and is re- sponsible for its existence, which he says is not in violation of law as given by the Supreme Court.
 Apparently the Aerie assumes re- sponsibility for the sale of liquor in Eagles Hall At it's regular meeting last Thursday night the following res olution was adopted.
