Vallejo Trustees Authorize Spe-
cial Prosecutor to Continue
Crusade Against Club
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

VALLEJO, Aug. 24.-At a special
meeting last night the city trustees
authorized Mayor Chappell to employ
special counsel to assist City Attorney
William T. ODonnell in prosecuting all
persons arrested for violating ordi-
nance No. 315, which regulates the sale
of liquor. This action was aimed at the
officers of the South Vallejo social and
improvement club, which the mayor has
ordered to be closed.
Although no announcement has been
made, it is an open secret that former
Superior Judge J.. G. Harrier will be
chosen to assist the city attorney.
At the request of the mayor Chief of
Police w. T. Stanford served notices on
the proprietors of the five local dance
halls last night, ordering them TO re-
frain from selling liquor. Apparently
the order was obeyed cheerfully, but 1t
is rumored that the screwing down of
the lid is only temporary and that the
dance halls will reopen when the agi-
tation started by the temperance people
dies down.
The city trustees have given Mayor
Chappell permission to leave the state
for so days in order that he may attend
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows at At
