100 SALOONS
TO BE WIPED OUT
AT END OF APRIL

dition the committee has received
from the police department a COM
plete police record OF every saloon
and cafe In which there has been
trouble. In some instances the DO
lice reports are pretty conclusive
evidence OF the undasiratility OF
certain booze joints. Murders, fights,
ro5beries. gambling. indecent con-
duct and drunken women frequent.
ers are charged against the saloon
list.
May Open Up Report.
Because OF the secrecy with which
the liquor committee is preparing
its report, and the refusal OF the
members to give other aldermen an
intimation of the saloons that are
slated to go in the various wards. a
concerted effort Is being made by a
certain ring Of aldermen to force
the committee to open its report
this year. before II is accepted. A
precedent was established last year.
when Aid. John c. Lodge insisted
on learning from the committee
chairman what disposition has been
made Of certain undesirable saloons
! In his ward. before he would vote
for a closed report.
This year q number OF the alder
men will want to know what has
happened to friendly saloonkeepers.
Once the report is opened, the work
Of the committee will likely be
spoiled. Most Of the aldermen will
want restorations made. II Is said
that enough votes have been pledg.
ed to open the report. II interested
aldermen deem that necessary.

HIS ODD YACHTING COSTUME.
It Made General Paine Conspicuous In
 the America's Cup Races.

General Charles J. Paine was in his day unique figure in the yachting world. While in no way eccentric, he had one little peculiarity that, l am sure, all the older yaChtsmen will re call. This was his habit of wearing R white shirt and a pair of blazing red suspenders when sailing his yacht, his head being covered with a straw hat, By this radical departure from the or thodox costume he was easily made the most conspicuous figure around the tiller of his boat in every important match in which he sailed.
 His most active yachting period was from 1877 to 1893. during which period he was thrice the leading man in the syndicates formed to build respectively the Puritan, the Maydower and the Volunteer, each a successful defender of the America's cup against the Eng. fish challengers.
 Always a daring yachtsman in so far as taking up with what were looked upon as innovations, he did not hesi- tate ia the case of the Puritan to acN cept the designs of Edward Burgess, even though they called for a marked change from the old fashioned Ameri- can sloop in that the keel was an oak stick ffty-siX feet long and twenty-six inches square, to which was attached the lead keel of fOrty-fve feet.
 In 1893 he was interested in the un- lucky but speedy Jubilee. When she was outClasSed by tue Nigllant he lost his dominating interest in yachting Spur.
