Jag Promoters Landed in Jail Police Resume Crusade Against Violators Vio-lators of Sunday Liquor Selling Sell-ing Ordinance. Selling liquor on Sunday landed two bartenders In the city jail late yesterday yester-day afternoon. Elmer Hensen and John D. Klein are the names of the prison ers. They were balled out soon after the arresty, which were made by Patrolmen Patrol-men Bleeker and Moore. The Golden' Gato saloon on Second South and the Cilft house bar on Main street arc the places where the offenses aro alleged to have occurred. The officers of-ficers watched the side entrances of both places and saw men; going in and out. In this manner they are said to have caught the two defendants in tho act of selling. Violation of the license law is the offense of-fense charged on the blotter at police headquarters. Both prisoners will have an arraigiunent before Judge Dichl today. to-day. During the past three weeks the side and back entrances of saloons, particularly par-ticularly near the business section, havo been- watched closely. Yesterday's were the first arrests on this charge for a long lime. In spite of this fact, however, the record rec-ord of Sunday drunks at the police station sta-tion keeps well up with that of other days. Yesterday half a dozen inebriates inebri-ates were taken to the city Jail. It Is claimed that many of these offenders get their liquor from those who have bought bottles. It is also maintained. In defense of the patrolmen, that their number is too small to cover even the business districts of a city of this size, let alone spending their time in, watching watch-ing for side and. rear door violations of the saloon' oidinance. The regulation number of patrolmen in nny city, as recognized by tho best authorities, is one per each 1000 citizens. This means patrolmen alone. This quota is not nearly reached In Salt Lake City.
