TO STOP SALOON MURDERS.
The Police Board is to Investigate Con-
ditions That Are Alarming.
Mayor Beardsley received from the police department yesterday a list of the shooting and stabbing affrays in saloons since August 1. This line of investigation was prompted by the frequency of saloon murders.
"I cannot say what action will be taken until the list is taken up and considered by the police board," the mayor said. "We must do something about it."
The killing of Danile O'Keefe by Charles Merlino in Merlino's saloon at Fifth street and Grand avenue, November 5, was the seventh saloon murder in ninety days.
