Saturday afternoon Judge Tabcr is
sued an order directing the district
attorneys office TO proceed with its
investigation OF the alleged violation
o. the secrecy law, charged by Attor-

patrons OF the Springs stop coming
when things of this kind are alleged
TO occur, whereas he takes every pre-
caution to see that they do not happen
in order that the Springs may con,
tinue to be a pleasant and orderly
resort for women and children as
well. We are sorry the mistake oc.
