Saloons Closed at Bremerton Navy Yard

The Navy Department has at last succeeded in having closed all the saloons of the town of Bremerton, Washington, where a government navy yard and repair shops for vessels are located. The great number of saloons, gambling resorts, and other places of evil had made the situation there intolerable to the department, and it refused to send any of the war-vessels to that navy yard unless the licenses for all these places were revoked. As there was every indication that the department meant to keep its word, licenses were finally revoked for all such places in the town.
