Los Angeles, however, as the new or dinance-called the Gandier ordinance, it having been largely drafted by pr D. M. Gandier of the anti-saloon league permits the sale of light wine, carry ing a low content of alcohol, with meals in hotels and restaurants at stated hours, and also permits the sale of package goods" under certain rigid restrictions.
 Most of the saloon owners and wholesale dealers have arranged to embark in other lines of business. Several of the better located cafes will be converted into tea rooms and soft drink establishments, according to the owners.
 For the past few weeks, wholesalers have been dispOsing of stock at low prices, and so called package houses" have cut their prices to clear up their stocks. Wholesalers and package goods dealers report that many of the liquor users have laid in private stocks in sufficient quantities to meet their requirements for many months.
 There was no disorder with the clos ing of the saloons, although numerous cOnvivial parties saw the doors locked for the last time. The police had been instructed to take extra precautions against drunkenness or disorder, and there were few reports of such petty offenses.

]. BARLEYCORN
 SHUTS UP SHOP
 IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 30.- John Barleycorn terminated his legal ized activities in Los Angeles tonight at twelve o'clock when the saloons and wholesale houses closed their doors for the last time A new ordinance, effective Monday, morning, will pre- vent their re-opening next week, or thereafter, and a city ordinance re- quiring them to close on Sunday cut one more day off their lease of life.
 An injunction suit, recently brought by two taxpayers" to prevent the operation of the new dry ordinance, has not been finally disposed of but nearly all the liquor men conceded defeat, and there was no disposition to insist on a court ruling before they would obey the ordinance, which was adopted at an election held here sev- eral months ago.
 Los Angeles has had a maximum of POS saloons and 92 liquor houses, but since the agitation for local option be- came marked the number has been de- creasing. In the past few weeks, since the dry ordinance was adopted at the special election, numerous dealers have surrendered their li- Censes, and others have consolidated their establishments, so that only about 125 saloons and 75 wholesale houses continued in business until the last night.
 The city has charged each saloon monthly license of SITS and each wholesaler a monthly license of $1OO. The annual revenue from this source has approximated $5OO,OOO. The de- crease of revenue consequent upon cutting off these fees was one of the arguments advanced for retaining the saloons, but the dry forces pointed to lessened police expense in other cities which had gone dry, with the claim that one would offset the other Liquor is not entirely barred from
