Illegal Liquor Traffic.

tire force detailed TO look after vIo-
lations Of the liquor law and tho
roornInR houses, but the results OBJ

their part. but also a state OF affairs
which could we'll occupy the atten-

spared.
We have had quite large number
of arrests for violation OF tho state
liquor law, Most or these have oc-
CURED in rooming houses and BY
bootlesgers. We havo had .very
and I have had the support OF prac-
tically all tine legitimate saloon
keepers In the city. as they arc MIL
ing 10 obey the law provided there
arc no rayorites and the law is en-
forced on all alike. For this reason
! feel safe in saying that there never
WAS a time in the history of The city
when the law was SO well observed
by the saloon men as II Is today
The law prohibits women from go
ing into saloons. For this reason
saloons for women are este bllshed
and given the title of "cafe. Chile
parIor' and other names and We have
had a great deal OF trouble with
tiieso places from selling liquor after
hours I hope to remedy this evil
in the near future. From sucn
