 the committee : 



" Eight days ago you appointed me chairman of your committee to en- 

 force City Ordinance No. 45. I laid out our plan of campaign to whip 

 these liquor outlaws so thoroughly that we will have no further trouble 

 with them, except as we do with sneak thieves, blacklegs, prostitutes, and 

 other sly and scaly law-breakers. And I have called you together this 

 morning to report progress. "

 U. S. district attorney, Geo. Dennis, Esq., and the U. S. revenue collector, 

 Mr. Ed. Gibson ; and under the latter' s instructions he had filed in the

 as the city law.
