Warnings But No Arrests.

1t has been common knowledge
for months that the Sunday law
was being violated with impunity
by the saloons of Tacoma, but the
police department was apparently
entirely oblivious Of the fact.
Chief Malony says there have
been frequent complaints that the
law was being violated and he de-
clares they frequently warned
saloonkeepers but no attempt was
ever made to clap the penalty on
the law-breakers and stop the
game until the Times announced
that it intended to show some
things UP in Tacoma.
Now the department is very
busy and the chief has a lot of
bottled "jags" his cops gathered
up yesterday in the law-breaking
saloons for evidence and three of
the proprietors of the cheaper sort
of places will be brought to court.
In case of conviction of these
three it remains to be seen what
the city council will do.
The old council gave public
notice by resolution that any sa-
loon convicted of keeping open
Sunday and violating the law
would have it's license revoked.
That resolution has never been
rescinded by the present council
and If these saloonkeepers are
convicted will the council revoke
the licenses?
1t is good time for the people
to keep an eye on the public Of
ficials right now and see what
they propose to do in the matter
of continuing Tacoma as a city
without lid where vice fourishes

The Canadian Northern railway
has dispatched special trains bear

is reported surrounded by flames.
The total menetry loss thus far
is estimated at $4,000, ,00G. Cut
and standing timber, telegraph

been burned in the fire zone.
AT least 100 residents of Beau

While Beaudette burned 2,000

inadequate to carry all who sought
to escape and scores of men fought
to board the cars.
