 of drug stores and bakeries, and news stands were allowed to remain open until il o'clock The law was quietly
 obeyed, only one arrest was made III the entire city, according to the police department w H. Dennis kept his garage open for service in repairing automobiles. and was placed under bond, but all other garages were closed it is stated, and no gasoline was sold.
 This is the first time in many years that the city has been closed tight on Sunday, and there is much specu-
 lation as to whether amusement re-

 The enforcement of the closing ordl-
 nance was ordered by the council at
 the request ot a committee, who pre- scented a resolution representing 100
