Mayor Schmitz, in an interview, yes- terday, referred to the saloon gques- tion In the following language: . “You may say for me that the sa- loons will remaln closed indefinitely in San Francisco. Paeace and quiet have prevailed since all traffic in liquor was stopped and no saloon will be per- mitted to open until suéh time as there is no likelihood of complaint. I may say that the saloon men themselves are not complaining. It is certain that nothing will be done in the liguor mat- ter inside of sizty or ninety days, pos- sid®y longer.” After the great Chicago fire the sa- loons were kept closed fof a year and a day. The San Francisco fire covered more than double the area of that dis- astrous blaze, left homeless nedrly twice as many people and trebled the temptation to commit crime, The Police Commissioners met yes- terday afternoon {n theirrooms in the Lowell Hign School, Schmitz presernt.
