GREAT REFORM WAVE
STRIKES HOT SPRINGS
Slot Machine Banished, and the Lid
Put on the Sunday Saloon
in City of Vapors.
Hot Springs, Nov. 1.—An un
expected wave of reform has
struck this resort hitherto as fa
mous for its naughtiness as its
healthful waters. As a result the
lid has been put on the Sunday j
saloon, and '•lot machines have
been abolished through the joint!
action of city and county author
ities.
An order was issued Saturday
by Mayor Belding, Sheriff R L
Williams and Prosecuting Attor- !
ney H. R. Morrison, to the effect j
that the state and city law must be I
obeyed by the forty-two saloons'
within city limits, and that all vio
lations will be heavily punished.
Slot machines which have run
unmolested for years have also
been placed under the ban and
hundreds have been shipped from
city in past twenty-four hours to
escape threatened confiscation
Not one can be found in the city
today.
The lid movement results from
the stand taken by the last grand
jury which, in its recent reports,
severely censured county adminis
tration for loose condition of af
fairs. Slot machine owners com
plied with orders promptly but
saloon men appear belligerent.

quite a number have been sold-for
$500 to §2.000. A pearl-button
factory has been established at
Newport and the pearl fishing in
