J. Rawl- ings Announces That From Now On '“Strong Arm Squad”. ‘Will Be Even More, Active Than It fHas in Past. Most, if not all saloon owners of the city have complied with' the request of the authorities to close their places of ‘business, and this afternoon s wit- nessed the locking of 60 or more doors that have been open before natiomal prohibition went into effect. Soms of the proprietors consider that a great injustice is being done, ! because of the fact that they will be required to pay rent for their places until the expiration of their leases, but all consider that it is wiser to comply with the request, rather than risk any possible court action. A “Herald” representative visited many of the saloons this morning and ' talked with the proprietors. He found the sentiment among them quite var- | ied. John Goginoski who owns the saloon ‘at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets, at first said that he would keep open despite the request of the police, but _when he learned that most of the otier mloon keepers were going to close, he deCided that _| it would be wise t&' doss the majority ‘were going to d0.. He ghreatened to try to-make the his ‘vent ‘while his place., n m&'z:z this noon, the doors of his n - stréets, sald that he thoukht that the closing of the saloons the only solution of the present day = 1em, prohibition. - He is’of the.opinion '/ that this closing edict is but .a fore- runner of a new era wherein light wines and beer, will be permissible. Then, he thinks, licenses will be is- sued to the saloonmen to sell beer and wine, with a severe penalty for those who would sell. anything else. He said that there was no use of a man trying to take the law inte his own hands, and, it anything, a man should close his saloon. He, considers that thie latest development marks the crisis, and from this will come. a defi- nite stand, either permission to sell or the order to close forever, and he is of the - opinion that the former courss will be decided upon. 3 The proprietors of many of the other places visited, were of the opinion ° that more good than evil would come of the closing and they were busy cleaning up the bars and other fixtures in their places. The closing act is the result of a re- quest from the local authorities and today there is the impression prevail- ing that all will comply. When the request was issued Wednesday through Prosecutor A. A. Greenberg and Chief ‘W. J. Rawlings, the places were asked to close within 48 hours. To Report Open Resorts. Chiet Rawlings seems determined that the places will close and keep closed. He spoke in this'vein today, stating that places refusing to comply with the request would be reported to the prosecuting attorney. The head of the department.said that as the patrolmen leave the station this eve- ning, they will be instructed to make observations of places where saloons have been conducted. The newly formed “strong arm squad’ as termed by Chief Rawlings, will commence to be more active than in the past. The question of what course the authorities can pursue in cases where propriesors of so-called saloons decling to agree to the request of the authori. ties, is frequently heard. There are several cafes in the city which have a comtined bar and restaurant. It is beliaved that some of these men will continue to do business on a restaurant plan only.
