Now that the wave of reform has started 1 of citizens who aro Interested in the bolter- i Iment of tho moral atmosphere of the city .) . , , i,, ...in i, The attention of this now committee will bo , directed against the saloons nnu sioi ma- i chines. Tho Haloona will uo requirwi to conform with tho provisions of tho mulct law and the city authorities will be ro- quC8tC( i,.. h u" 1 to sunnress tho slot machines which becomo so numerous throughout tho The new committee which Is to take up the work whore It was dropped by tho other eform organization, headed by Attornoys McOabo and McC.cc, will make a formal demand on tho mayor and city officers that tho saloons bo closed every night nt 10 o'clock and all day on SundayB. They also Insist that tho wlno rooms bo kept perma nently closed. At present tho miloons aro practically under no restrictions whatso ever. They aro permitted to kc?p the front doors shut on Sundays bo that the thirsty bavo to nnter either by a side or back alley entrance. A few saloons which have neither back nor sldo doors havo been permitted to keen tha font door open on tho Sabbath, po that they might not be handicapped In the competition for trade.

Tho new committee. It is said, intends to go oven further than the wlno rooms In Its eriiKado for a moral city. it itucnus to call tho attention of tho authorities, who, it says, seem blind to the fact, to the numer ous assignation houses mat arc scaucrcu broadcast over tho city.
