human being in the city.
Henry welcomes the opportunity for
settling once for all the character of
his administration. His only regret is
that the opportunity has been delayed
by the court. Meanwhile, he asks the
people whom he has served with all his
ability to reserve judgment until all
the testimony in his case is given and

TenderI0in Uses Muffler
Until Reform Wave Passes
Cabarets Censor Dances; Wild Life Is Tanned; One
Saloon Proprietor Locks Doors and Hangs An
dersons Picture in Window; Few wet Spots

Storm signals are flying to-day in
the 4th Inspection District. In fact,
they were hoisted late yesterday, and
there was an immediate battening down
Of matches and locking Of side doors
against the revolving typhoon of reform
which the prophets of the underworld
predict is soon to blow from all points
OF the compass at once.

a picture of William II. Anderson in
the window and gave his head bar

form stuff is like a small bankroll in

Whether the wave of reform that is
engulfing the white light" district will
or Will not recede after touching the
night that the radiance of Car Dom
mick Henry's old domain had been
dimmed until it resembled the ecclcsi-
astlcal reflections that filter SOFTLY
through the stained glass windows of a
church on Sunday.
The Hush Before a Squall
The 4th Inspection District seemed
hushed in that meteorological stiffness
that precedes summer squall. The lid
was on, and will remain on, the wise
birds say, until the mystic word is
passed that the storm of virtue has
spent itself.
This has been a bad week for the
Ienderloin, and the former subjects of
Gar Henry hold the gloomy view that
the worst is yet to come The blast
cmanating from the pulpit of Calvary
Church on Easter followed by the
Indictment of the car himself o.

man he was looking for. And the mill
-candlepower reflection from Broad
ways lights seemed to have flung a
"phony" halo over the whole scene.
Still Wet for Those in the "Know"
Things are not so eight" however,
that those ain the know" have to do
without their drinks. The most re-
liable information indicates that many
wet" places are still operating, but
they have adopted a conservative policy
that effectively bars the outsider. A
week ago one could enter almost any
saloon in the 4th Inspection Dis
trlct, and by saying that Il am friend

SIN who knows the boss" he would be
served with "moonshine" or the real
thing, according to the price he wished
to pay.
Things were different last night. The
places that were catering week ago to
vast and unidentified trade locked
their doors at shutdown and did bust
ness VIZ the family entrance. Here the
parched patron found the door locked
against him and a burly person in a
white apron -peering through the
frosted glass. If the patron could give
the proper password he stood some
chance; otherwise he could go for a
stroll in Central Park for all the man
on the inside cared.
Not so very many blocks from Gar
Henry's former throne in the West
Sixtyeighth Street police station there
are several saloons controlled by the
same men. They are ornate places.
where prohibition seems never to have
laid its devastating touch. They were
operated with fine abandon that
smacked of the freedom of the pre- war
days. They continued to swing along
merrily, according to the very best in
formation, until Inspector Henry and
Assistant District Attorney Smith de-
clared war and the Rev Dr.. Straton
joined forces with the latter.
Password Recalls War Days
These saloons had identical interior
decorations. and it happened that
painted on their ncar-onyx ceilings was
the Insignia of certain division of the
A. Z. +. that won no small fame in
France. 1t was merely coincidence,
as the ceiling decorations were there
long before the United States fell out
with Germany. Last night the pass
word in these places was the number
Of the division whose insignia adorns
the ceilings. Without it the mightiest
thirst went unquenchcd.

in the month of September of the year 1876. He came from the yellow fever stricken city of Memphis. Prior to his leaving he and his devoted wife (whose death preceded his) rendered great service in relief work. His eff forts and sacrifices in humanity's cause imperiled his health and shat tered his fortunes. After his arrival here. with indomitable will and ener- gy he set himself to the task of re- mobilization. He succeeded and ac- quired modest competency. lie re- moved to Chicago in 1885, where he died.
 In the years Brother Van Ronkle lived in Conway he entered into the life of the town, assisting with ardor in everything that promoted it's prog ress, and everything that conduced to the welfare of its people. He took an active interest in the educational af- fairs of this school district and was honored by being elected its first pres ident He was an energizing force Tn the early movement to attract atten- tion to the commercial advantages of the town and served on many impor- tant committees. His wise counsel in conference and his zeal contributed much to obtain for Conway it's ulti- mate prestige.
 He was the soul of honor and had an unblemished reputation for problty. He possessed deep religious convic- tions but was tolerant in his views, and was liberal in his charities without display. He was gifted with learning and his erudition excited the wonder and admiration of his as7 sociates. In disposition kindly, in ap- proach affable, in manner genial, hls friends were legion
 Brother Van Ronkle was made a Mason in Canton, Mississippi, and shortly after his arrival in Conway at tached himself to Green Grove lodge. He did not transfer his membership after leaving here. He always evlnced a deep interest in Green Grove lodge while he resided in Chicago, as cor respondence with Brother w. H. Dun- can indicates.
 In appreciation of his sterling quail ities and long connection with Green Grove lodge he was made an honorary for life.
 Brother Van Ronkle's illness was short, and spared much suffering by a benign Providence he passed into higher life on August 20, 1920.
 Your committee suggests: That It be resolved by Green Grove lodge No, 1O7, F. & A. M., that in the death of Brother Joseph Van Ronkle the lodge has sustained the loss of loyal and we'll beloved member; that it recog- nizes the valuable services he has rem dered the order; that it tenders It's sympathy to the surviving members of the family The lodge mourns his death but bows with submission to the All Wise Ruler.
 Be it further resolved: That this tribute to his memory be spread on its records; that copy be transmitted to the family, and publication be made in our city papers.
