Watkins last night. II warned all
those places last June. They prom
ers said they would see to it that the
places We're kept closed. This was
not lone and SO / have returned. I
expect to return once more to see that
this latest order is obeyed.
In my work I have had the CO.
operation of the police. he states at
torney and the sheriff. nave also
authorized to state on behalf of all
these forces thai the order must he
obeyed. None Of these parties can
evade the law. We will catch them
and they will be crimina!ly ose
cuted.
Warns Property Owners.
81 want to warn the property own
ers. They must sec to it that these
places are TO be watched. They must
look after their buildings. The places
will be padlocked tomorrow and TO
take anything except personal belong
ings away from the buildings is In
contempt of court.
This movement has the hest people
Of the city behind it. 1t is done OF
the request of the colleges. Many peo-
pie nave feared to send their chill
dren to school in Fargo because of
conditions which we dealt with in u
raid. ] want to urge that a fund be
provided for investigation Of such
places and then the people Of the city
will be able to kno whether the law
is obeyed."
