san Francisco Police Redoubiing Ef-
forts 10 Stop Liquor Sales To
Soldiers by BootIeggers.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 2l.--On
complaint of Capt. Harrington Coch-
rane, provost marshal of this district.
the San Francisco police are redoub-
ling their efforts to stop the sale OF
liquor to men in uniform. Captain
Cochrane asserts that there has been
a considerable increase of drunken
ness recently AT the Preside and at
FITS. Miley, Mason and Winfield Scott.
Chief of Police White and his men
say that this is due almost entirely
to "bootleggers. who, In spite of the
work OF the detectives, continue to
carry on more or less extensive sur
reptttious trade among the soldiers
and sailors.
To strengthen the hands of the
policemen and detectives, the police
commission has adopted an order
which win extend the rule closing all
saloons within half a mile of any army
post and The recent order forbidding
the sale OF package liquors by grocers
and other retailers inside of the same
zone The new order prohibits the
soliciting OF orders for beer, wine or
liquors within the forbidden limits.
As the new presidential order forbids
the giving of liquor to men in uniform
either in private homes or elsewhere,
the legitimate channels of supply are
pretty thoroughly stopped, the police
believe, and they propose to stop the
Illicit channels as far as possible.
