 The closing order Is effective at midnight tonight. The restaurants will probably comply with the order without making any effort to fight 1t in the courts, as the sentiment of the city is against them.
 The local food board Is rigidly en. forcing all food regulations in res. taurants, bakeries and other places under compulsory rulings. All vio. lators of any regulation will be pun. ished severely. In sentencing the 57 restaurants to close for twenty. four hours, the local board declared that a second conviction for viola. tion of the regulations will call forth much harsher sentence. In cluded in the closed places are many of nationwide fame.

SHIFTED BUOY
 CAUSES WRECK
 OF STR. EVANS
Associated Pressl

JUNEAU, Mar. 1.-The steamer Admiral Evans, which was wrecked last Saturday night on rocky reef in Hawk Inlet, came to grief through a misplaced buoy. The buoy had been shifted by the strong winds which have been sweeping through this section of the country for the last few days and lured the Evans on the rocks.
 There were 176 passengers aboard the vessel at the time of the wreck, and they were taken off the ship and carried ashore by cannery ten ders. The Princess Sophia. hearing the Evans calls for assistance, took them aboard and brought them here. There is no reason to believe that there was any trickery connected with the wreck. It is doubtful whether the ship can be saved, as it is completely submerged at high tide. A thorough examination will be made, and if there is any chance of saving it salvage tug will be sent out either from Vancouver Or Seattle.

DANIELS ASKED
 CLOSE SALOONS
 IN WINDY CITY
Associated PresAD


 CHICAGO, Mar 11.-Chicago is threatened with drouth of the most intense kind. The city may lose all of It's saloons. or. rather. those in the downtown districts may have to go because they are within five miles of a naval training station. The local dry federation has ap- pointed a committee to wait on Sec retary of Navy Daniels to ask him to close all the downtown saloons. This can be done through enforc- ing the five-mile dry order by making it apply to the vicinity of the navy training ship which is moored at the waterfront.
 There is some doubt as to this being within the provisions of the order. since the ship is not a perma. nent station and is movable from time to time. Short cruises are made in 1t nearly every day. and 1t Is believed that the secretary will refuse to comply with the request
